WILLEMSTAD – August 28, 2018 – Recently the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB) together with partners in the private sector held several educational sessions for travel agents in Medellín and Bogotá, Colombia. A big percentage of visitors from Colombia, are from these two cities. Currently over 48% of our Colombian visitors are from Bogotá, while 22% are from Medellín.


Description: The novel's heroine, eighteen-year-old Charity Royall, is bored in the small town of North Dormer and ignorant of desire until she meets a visiting architect, Lucius Harney. Like the lush summer of the Berkshires around them, their romance is shimmering and idyllic, but its consequences are harsh and real. Wharton's prose, her raw depiction of the mountain community where Charity was born, the intrusion into Charity's bedroom by her guardian, Lawyer Royall, and Charity's rites of passage into adulthood elevate Summer into a study of society, nature, and human needs.

Software that can be used for conversion of nco file type to jpeg format.
Search for nco to jpeg converter or software able to handle these file types.
It seems that nco to jpeg conversion is mainly searched by users that are trying to recover their old photos (.jpg) from .nco backups that were originally made using Nero BackItUp tool. Apparently, the only way to recover these backups is to use the exact same version of the program in which they were made, newer versions won't help you here.
The only workaround this would be to rename nco to zip and extract the content. You will find your pictures there, each in a separate folder, however their file name will not be the original one. You will need to rename all pictures back to their original name (it's how the folder is named).
Files with nco file extension may be typically encountered as backup files created using the Nero BackItUp suite. Basically encrypted and occasionally also non-encrypted ZIP file with unique extension.


While hydraulic and machine performance and value are front and center at Bauma, sustainability is a key theme as well. Since 1991 productivity in the construction machinery sector has been flat in terms of output per hour, signifying the need for more automation, labor saving and worker safety. That's according to Juergen Weber, head of the Institute of Fluid Power at Dresden University of Technology, who addressed the Bauma Innovation Day Research forum. On the bright side, however, there has been enormous progress in reducing noise and emissions in construction equipment, he added. And even considering the competing challenges of more-stringent regulations in western countries and cost pressures in developing markets, the trend of sustainability continues.
One such example, said Markus Schneider, a professor with the Institute, is a joint project termed the Green wheel loader that aims to increase efficiency through the use of a specialized drive and advanced controls. First, it optimizes engine speed to run at as low rpms as possible without lugging or restricting actuator functions. The loader also takes advantage of a hydrostatic power-split transmission. And implements are displacement controlled, which increases efficiency by eliminating throttling losses through the valves. Finally, it uses accumulators to recover and reuse previously wasted energy.
The prototype is built from a conventional, state-of-the-art Liebherr 24-ton loader and is considered a hydrostatic "parallel" hybrid. In operation, the system's advanced control algorithms decouple the engine from the implements, making the drive highly efficient. In essence, control units on each implement and subsystem sense demand and communicate that with the central ECU. And that, in turn, directs the engine to run at only the speed required, and no more. Compared to typical wheel loaders, the prototype boosts savings by more than 10%. Additional gains are expected as the developers focus future efficiency efforts on several machine subsystems.
Another aspect of sustainability that perhaps deserves more attention is the need for quieter machines. While there are increasingly stringent noise regulations in regards to mobile equipment and operator safety, for the most part users are still "spoiled" by improvements seen in today's cars, said Jan Scholten, head of the construction machinery research group at Ruhr-University Bochum.
But the problem is not easily solved. While local noise sources are well known—things like cooling systems, vibrating components and structures—their effects on total machine noise are usually considered late in the design process. At that juncture, it's too late to optimize components and a "Band-aid" approach must instead suffice, if it's addressed at all.
A noise-minimizing project headed by the University, with industry partners including Hydac, Liebherr and Atlas Copco, has the objective of developing a ground-up way to simulate and test components and assess their contribution to noise emissions and the effects on the surrounding structure, well before design is finalized and a machine is actually built.
In addition, the research group is well aware that most engineers are not acoustic experts, so the aim is to make the software powerful but simple. The 3D software demonstrated to date considers noise sources and vibration levels in components like pumps, valves, bearings and mounts to subsystems like hydraulic hammers and rotary carriages.
On a more practical note, yesterday at Bauama Dana Corp. announced technical enhancements to its Spicer PowerBoost hydraulic-hybrid powertrains that further increase the performance, productivity and fuel economy of telehandlers and other off-highway vehicles. Customized configurations of the system now enable vehicles to supply up to 20% more hydraulic power to the work circuits and perform work functions up to three times faster than conventional vehicles. These improvements can further enhance overall productivity by up to 10% and generate additional fuel savings of up to 5% more than previous PowerBoost versions, according to the company. Ultimately, Spicer PowerBoost technology can give machine users fuel savings of up to 45%, depending on the application and duty cycle.
Ideally suited for hydrostatically-driven drivetrains, Spicer PowerBoost uses an advanced energy-management system to evaluate the power needed in the entire vehicle and distribute energy captured in the drivetrain, resulting in lower fuel consumption and improved productivity.
Several operating modes include an Eco mode that give maximum fuel efficiency in normal operating cycles; power mode for high acceleration and working performance in operations requiring maximum power; regenerative braking mode captures and stores energy otherwise wasted during vehicle braking; stop/start mode shuts down the engine during prolonged idle conditions and then restarts instantly at the operator's command; and zero emission mode permits vehicle operation exclusively from stored energy captured by the system.
Spicer PowerBoost is reportedly ideal for applications with frequent, intense bursts of acceleration, deceleration, lifting, and lowering during cyclic maneuvering that support the recuperation of braking energy. In addition to telehandlers, the new system also suits wheel loaders, lift trucks, and other construction, material-handling, and on-highway vocational vehicles that perform lifting or digging operations.
According to Bauma exhibitor Evonik, while fine-tuning engines, pumps, drive systems and hydraulics are all good ways to improve efficiency, a simple route to fuel savings in mobile machines is simply changing to a different hydraulic fluid. Its Dynavis additives are formulated to improve overall efficiency of construction machines versus those using monograde fluids.
Fleet owners like Nuova Ghizzoni, an Italian pipeline contractor, have switched its hydraulic excavators to fluids formulated with Evonik Dynavis technology and have seen substantial fuel savings, reports Evonik. While conventional thinking is to use the cheapest hydraulic fluid possible, users are increasingly aware that changing to a slightly more-expensive high-VI fluid can typically garner fuel saving of 10%, and up to 30% in high-load, high-demand applications.
Dynavis-formulated hydraulic fluids stay free-flowing at low temperatures to improve mechanical efficiency, and prevents "thinning" and internal leakage at higher temperatures. The result is better efficiency and response across a wide spectrum operating conditions.


I spent a few very enjoyable hours in Hammersmith last Saturday night. The entertainment was provided by Steve Hackett on his Genesis Extended tour, ably prefaced by Bryan Josh and Olivia Sparnenn, husband and wife team and 2/7ths of Mostly Autumn. The first time I'd seen Hackett live was at the Hammersmith Odeon in May 1983 for a tour to promote Highly Strung when the only Genesis song in the set was Horizons. Despite the inclusion of the most recognisable acoustic song performed by Hackett, Saturday night could hardly have been more different.
The genesis of this event was back in 2012 when I didn't get tickets for Hackett's Genesis Revisited performance at Hammersmith in 2013, having to settle for a trip to Dublin to see him instead. To avoid disappointment, tickets for the show were bought two weeks shy of a year in advance, so that some of my family and friends who had also expressed an interest, had forgotten that they'd signed up in the first place.
I worked down the road from Hammersmith at Charing Cross Hospital on the Fulham Palace Road from 1986-1988 and it's fair to say that the area has changed... ...just a little bit. The West London Hospital where my son Daryl was born in 1989 is long gone and the shopping centre where I'd occasionally go to browse the albums in Our Price has been replaced by a huge mall with a multitude of exits from the underground. This monument to consumerism exerts an adverse effect on GPS so that it was impossible to use it to navigate to The Dartmouth Castle on Glenthorne Road, the chosen venue for pre-gig food and drink. Once located, the pub proved to be a very good choice, serving excellent food and boasting a good range of beer.
The event kicked off on time at 7.30pm and the reduced Mostly Autumn performed a competent 30 minute acoustic set that was politely applauded by the audience. Sparnenn played some flute which enhanced the music but it was more folk than prog folk and really didn't grab my attention. Hackett and band appeared on stage at 8.15, opening with an energetic Dance on a Volcano. The band saw the return of Nick Beggs and the set was changed from the one for the Genesis Revisited tour, eschewing the entire Wind and Wuthering album. Hackett's comments to the audience following Dance hinted at the gulf that appeared to have opened up between him and some of his former band mates following the airing of the Genesis documentary, suggesting that the "museum was still open" and that he was dusting off some real gems.
The relative stability of the band, Roger King on Keyboards, Rob Townsend on flute, sax, bass pedals, keyboard and sundry percussion, Gary O'Toole on drums and vocals, vocalist Nad Sylvan and the inimitable Nick Beggs (unavailable in 2013 due to touring commitments with Steven Wilson) on bass, guitar and Chapman stick, meant that the material was really well performed. Sylvan, an unknown quantity when I last saw the band, somehow unconsciously managed to sound like Phil Collins for the opening song and for Squonk, the second number but then sounded like himself for the rest of the evening. Dancing with the Moonlit Knight and the Lamb mini-medley of Fly on a Windshield and Broadway Melody of 1974 were followed by a large slice of Nursery Cryme, The Return of the Giant Hogweed (a favourite of mine having studied Botany), the Fountain of Salmacis (possibly the first Genesis song I ever heard), and The Musical Box. At the start of Fountain, Sylvan appeared to be finding it difficult to find the right key and later on in the set he seemed to have difficulty singing for a few bars, as though he was suffering from a throat infection; I can only believe this was an acute problem because his performance in Dublin last year was faultless.
Perennial favourite Firth of Fifth (Firth of Firth in the tour programme!) featured Steve's brother John Hackett on flute and Jakko Jakszyk on vocals. Jakszyk had tweeted his involvement beforehand and made an appearance in the crowd before the performance started, as though he was looking for his seat. It looked like he was reading the song words from notes at his feet, but he still managed to get a couple of lines wrong. This song embodies the culmination of melodic Genesis, the piano overture, the instrumental development and Hackett's sublime guitar. Though very different from the multi-part Supper's Ready (another highlight of the evening) Firth of Fifth was possibly the greatest treasure dusted off from custodian Hackett's Museum of Prog (still open.) Lilywhite Lilith fitted in a little awkwardly. I had thought that the band might append The Waiting Room and stretch out into an evil jam but the song ended abruptly and the audience didn't get to applaud properly; Sylvan theatrically raised a sword and the band ploughed into The Knife.
The encore consisted of Watcher of the Skies and Los Endos (suffused with Slogans from his solo album Defector) and brought the evening to a triumphant climax.
Always understated, Hackett may be more communicative than he was in his Genesis days but he does the sensible thing and lets this wonderful music speak for itself, orchestrated by a really tight band. There was even a stage invasion by a lone fan right at the end, something that none of the performers can have expected, which was resolved without force as the band and special guests took a well-deserved bow.


Does ship email work under harsh weather conditions?
Just wanted to know if ships experience bad connections during hurricane season?
Re: Does ship email work under harsh weather conditions?
Yes they do. Sometimes there is no communication because of the hurricanes, therefore problems with the satellite.
thank you very much- was just wondering why it was taking forever for a response!
does email work out at see or only when in ports?
it usually does work at sea but I actually just found out that one ship lost it's server access.


#59. Dad, what was that quote from the movie "Fight Club" you always mention when speaking about materialism.
"The things you own end up owning you". Materialism, by and large, is a psychological trap. No matter how much you own, how much you buy, how much you earn, the disease of more never goes away..
#55. Dad, does a high paying job mean zero financial stress?


Georges Croegaert was a Belgian academic painter and trained at the Antwerp School of Fine Arts. In 1876 he settled permanently in Paris. He exhibited irregularly at the Salon of Paris between 1882 and 1914, as well as at the Salon of French Artists, and in Vienna in 1888. Influenced by the contemporary painter Jan Van Beers (1852- 1927) he adopts a miniaturist style. Croegaert is appreciated by English and American admirers for his many portraits of elegant women and for his genre scenes, where he is depicting socialites in their daily lives (Fig.1). The titles of his paintings - Reflection (1891), Meditation (1893), Reverie (1894) - testify his interest in intimate subjects. In the manner of François Brunery (1849-1926), Jean Vibert (1840-1902), José Frappa (1854-1904) or Andrea Landini (1847-1912), A large number of works by this painter are now preserved in the collections of Anglo-Saxon museums.
Our composition is dated 1890 and is dedicated to a certain Mr. Owdenko (a Russian art lover active in Paris in the late nineteenth century) and shows skaters converging on a frozen lake. This type of winter landscape, which refers to the Nordic origins of the painter, is echoed among some his Belgian contemporaries: Henri van Seben (1825-1913), Adolf Dillens (1821-1877), or Emile Clauss (1849-1924) have also effectively illustrated this theme (Fig.2).
Our panel, however, differs from the usual style of the artist, who usually prefers a more bucolic summer or spring landscape which serves as a backdrop in the paintings for his delicate and elegant figures (Fig. 3).
In an exceptional way, Croegaert abandons in our panel the bright colours he usually uses (as regard to the carmine red of his cardinals) and privileges here a discreet chromatism by reducing his palette to shades of browns and greys. The twilight sky allows us to place the scene as being at the end of the afternoon. The flat treatment of a frozen lake and snow-covered shoreline, painted with great economy of means, contrasts with the meticulousness and finesse exerted for the dead trees. The characters, summarily represented, seem to be enveloped in silence, dream and meditation. Even the action of the skaters rushing onto the ice seem rare and measured. In the foreground, on the bank, two men are seen from behind: one wearing a top hat, the other a beret. One can imagine that the painter represented himself here in the company of the dedicatee of the work, Monsieur Owdenko, as spectators to the scene, contemplating the skaters' dance in a sort of mise en abyme. Croegaert transcribes, in this atypical very elongated format, a peaceful atmosphere, almost melancholy, showing a synthetic recount close to the symbolist aesthetics.

Before In Tandem Theatre's A Cudahy Caroler Christmas opened this weekend, the performances were 65 percent sold out. These familiar Milwaukee characters from the South Side, Stasch and Pee Wee try to settle their personal differences when the Cudahy Carolers reunite for a special, one time cable television performance.
The character's hometown, Cudahy, and South Side cultural references speak to the "the epic struggle of the work a day person," while remaining laugh out loud funny. This includes any personal dreams to be a ski queen at a Wisconsin Dells water ski show or enjoy the city's North Shore, Whitefish Bay, as a fine place to live. However, alternative entertainment needs to be as Jane puts it, "Cleverly constructed and acted well while providing a higher concept to the audience."
This year's cast creates that Cudahy connection with utter delight. Chris Flieller captures the essence of Stasch with his 200th appearance on Christmas Eve in 2012 that butts heads and fists well with Nathan Wesseloski's Pee Wee. The women mesmerize the audience in several solo numbers playing Edna (Lisa Morris), Nellie (Kelly Cline), Wanda (Samantha Paige) and Trixie (Alison Mary Forbes), singularly starring on the small stage. Musically, the entire Cudahy Carolers perform some astonishing arrangements to difficult melodies that heighten the irregular comedy. The familiar songs with sometimes sophomoric lyrics have more than a pinch of truth to them.

We're filing it into two categories: things we're doing less of, and things we're doing more of.
Food waste. Buy what you need, use what you buy.
Meat and dairy. If you're not already doing it, why not try exploring a plant-based diet?
Packaging waste. Buy bulk or choose brands that use responsible packaging practices. And remember your reusable grocery bags!
Negative talk. Everyone is allowed indulgences and off-days. It's nothing to dwell on. Instead, focus on what you're doing right!
Plant-based foods. Fill your plate with all the color and flavor provided by Mother Earth.
Local and organic foods. Better for the earth, better for your community and better for you.
Exploring new recipes! Make a commitment to try one new recipe per week.
Meal prep. Make your life easier by setting aside time to plan and prepare food for the week ahead.
Volunteering. There are always ways to get involved with the causes you support.
And a final note on resolutions. We usually focus on changing the things we don't like about ourselves. Trying to make ourselves "better." But here's the thing, what if we're already pretty damn great? What if, this year, the resolutions we set aren't about trying to change who we are? Let's focus on doing more of the things that make us feel good in order to make less space for the things that don't.
2018 was a big year for us. We're excited for more plant-based goodness, more friends, more hugs, and more happy memories in 2019.

The final verdict...Yes! It's a keeper.
For those of you who are new to my work, let me introduce myself with a story of what I did today. I ordered business cards. That may not seem like such a big task, but over the many years that I have been doing psychic work, the task of defining myself with a job title has been almost too much to bear. This is one of those little overwhelming situations that we all find ourselves putting off for some reason or another, but before I get too lost in telling you why this has been so hard for me, let me relate why it worked this time.
I have recently been seeing clients in Poughkeepsie, NY, which is about an hour and fifteen minutes from my house. A client and friend of mine has an office there, and through his referrals, I have been seeing quite a few new clients. In conjunction with the new clients, I also have a new website, the one you are visiting right now. With both of those things in mind, I knew this was the time to get over my discomfort and get myself some business cards.
In declaring today the day, I did what I normally do when I have an uncomfortable task ahead of me, I cleaned the house. This gets my mind in order, and straightens out the energy in my space. I also took a shower. This relaxes me and, like with the house cleaning, centers, balances and cleanses my energy. With no more excuses, I sat down on the newly vacuumed carpet and decided to check in.
I aligned with my favorite group energies: the legions of light and the angelic realm, I aligned with the akashic records, and I also aligned with my higher self. I wanted to cover my bases and get this right so I don't have to repeat the process next week.
I asked them what I do and more importantly, what words can be used to describe my work? This is what I heard, "you are a psychic healer, a being of light, a way shower," and a few more like that. I asked about the term Life Coach, since I want to guide people through the process of developing their six-sensory lives, and they rolled their eyes a bit…not really, they just confirmed that the term was of a lower vibration than what I had to offer. When I was in the shower I got this great idea to use the term spiritual guidance counselor, but for the life of me I could not remember the word spiritual! I sat there trying to remember the great idea I had, but to no avail, it just wasn't coming. I settled on Psychic Guidance Counselor, and they approved.
Why did I go to such trouble to make sure I was in alignment with the job title I am committing to put on my business cards? Because words matter. Each word you utter, and especially each word you use to define yourself in any capacity carries a vibration that can either enhance your connection to your ultimate goal of living authentically, or it can send you in the opposite direction. I definitely want to make sure that what I define myself as professionally matches with who I am and the multiple avenues in which I offer my services.
I am not just a psychic and my sessions are more like seeing a therapist than a standard psychic reading. Letting my clients know that with a few words can be difficult, so again, words matter.
I felt pretty good after my little meditation, but once I got onto the website to order them, another issue came up. I had to decide what they will look like. "Ugh, too many choices," was my initial reaction. I looked at some backgrounds they offer, meh…nothing really made me smile. Then I tried a photograph I had taken as the card's background instead, but the same thing resulted. I knew that settling for anything less than a feeling of instant joy would make me want new cards in a week. After a moment of thoughtlessness, I looked down.
The colors of my clothing said it all. I am wearing a deep blue tank top and a gray zip-up sweatshirt, and those are my colors of healing and spirit. I am a psychic healer.
As it turns out, I didn't remember the words "spiritual guidance counselor" until later that evening when I was filling in my boyfriend on my day. I was disappointed only for a moment but he picked up on it and asked me if I wanted to order new cards. I told him that this was for the best. It conveys exactly what I do and who I am. As you can see by the picture, I did elaborate a bit underneath the title.
I hope that in sharing this process with you, it will be easier to understand who I am and how I work. I also hope that it inspires you to define yourself with care. You're probably more than you know.

Armenian Summit of Minds
Statement by President Serzh Sargsyan at the reception in the Paris City Hall
Distinguished Madam Mayor,
I am glad to be in Paris once again, the city which through the history was "tossed by the waves but does not sink" and continued to flourish and develop remaining forever a unique civilization hub. As justly observed, just a stroll in Paris gives one lessons of history, beauty, and the meaning of life. It is pleasing that through the centuries the Armenian people have had the opportunity to share these lessons, enriching selves and enriching others.
I thank the authorities of Paris, in person of Madam Hidalgo, for this opportunity. It is also thanks to you that decentralized cooperation has found its sizable place in the agenda of the Armenian-French cooperation and with Paris in particular, of course. I highly value the fact that you stand by us at the most important moments: I mean your visits to Yerevan to participate to the events dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide and in the framework of the celebrations of Yerevan's 2798th anniversary. And, Madam Mayor, we will certainly be happy if you visit Yerevan next year when we are to celebrate Yerevan's - the capital of all Armenians' - 2800th anniversary.
Madam Mayor,
In the streets of Paris one cannot fail to see indexed trees, thousands of monuments and museums, tourists, which come back again and again, and finally the cordial and hospitable atmosphere of this city. There is no doubt that your boundless dedication and care have also played their role in all this.
I am very happy that Yerevan and Paris are sister-cities and that the efficient cooperation between them is strengthening and expanding annually: every year a number of programs is being implemented in the bilateral, as well as multilateral formats, ranging from cultural programs to experience exchange in the areas of municipal economy and urban development.
I would like to highlight our cooperation in the framework of the Association of the Mayors of Francophone cities. As a result of this cooperation, a number of schools in our capital have received opportunities to organize the enhance studies of French language; renovated and improved have been musical and art establishments, and libraries. The city, which has the largest number of libraries in the world, sets the example for us. This cooperation made French ambiance in our city more perceptible. I hope that the program, which are currently underway, will be concluded successfully: the Armenia Home will open in Paris and we will have the France Home in Yerevan which will allow the Armenians and French feel at home in each other's capital.
In Paris one understands why after the Armenian Genocide tens of thousands Armenians opted for France and all that is French. Here, even trade is art, and art is a mode of life.
Those people had come and because of your hospitality became the law-abiding citizens of France, respected and wanted professionals. They also came so that today the world can listen to the songs of Charles Aznavour in sweet French, enjoy the beautiful music of Michel Legrand, movies by Anri Vernoy and Alain Terzian.
Allow me address my compatriots present in this hall.
One can state confidently that you have brought your contribution to the development of the French culture and economy. Taking the best of all that is French, you have enriched it with a special Armenian flavor.
Nowadays, when because of a crisis thousands of Syrian Armenians have settled in Armenia, we have come to feel and appreciate that flavor even more. With the Western Armenian of Siamanto and Varuzhan, flavorful Eastern dishes they have brought a new color and a new culture, making Armenia a little different, a little better.
There is no doubt that with you we are stronger, more recognizable and more audible. Be assured that you are always welcome in Armenia as relatives, as partners, as tourists, as indivisible part of the Armenian nation. We are waiting for you to share our success and to stand by you in time of trouble.
In conclusion, I would like to thank you once again, Madam Mayor, for your personal engagement in strengthening of the Yerevan-Paris ties. It was by your decision that on April 24, 2015 the lights of the Eifel Tower were turned off as a token of respect to the memory of the victims of the Armenian Genocide. Let the lights be always bright as a symbol of the everlasting Armenian-French friendship.
Statement by the Mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo at the reception held in the Paris City Hall
Distinguished Mr. President,
Mr. and Mrs. Ministers,
Distinguished Mr. Edward Nalbandian, Minister of Foreign Affairs,
Distinguished Mr. Suren Karayan, Minister of Economy and Investments,
Distinguished Mrs. Hranush Hakopian, Minister of Diaspora Affairs,
Distinguished Mr. Taron Margarian, Mayor of Yerevan,
Distinguished Ambassadors,
Distinguished Parliamentarians,
After receiving an exceptional welcome in Yerevan only several months ago, I am happy to host you in Paris today. Even though my presentation is taking place in the framework of the President Serzh Sargsyan's official visit, my happiness today is not just inspired by protocol. It's a joy which friends live when meet each other, communicate and get enriched with each other's differences.
It's a great honor for me to receive this Order from you. For me, it truly symbolizes a unique friendship which unites us, which unites Paris with Armenia. I say welcome to Paris and City Hall which is home to all Parisians. The Armenians living in Paris were able to create through their unwavering humanity a friendship; they are martyrs of the modern history and at the same time the guardians. Today I think of all those who were able to put the same energy in studying France and remembering Armenia, in becoming French and remaining Armenian, in living by French traditions and at the same time preserving the traditions of their ancestors. I would like to recognize the incredible job which these men and women are doing, with whom I have the pleasure to meet and cooperate; that work now is being carried out by the members of the council coordinating the activities of the Armenian-French organizations. Thus, allow me to salute in particular Ara Toranian and Murad Papazian present here for their work.
Dear Parisian Armenians and Armenians of France,
I am confident that integration and success of your community is the result of your work, your persistency which never fails to be generous, as well as your unique ability to combine the understanding of the past with the vision for the future. I believe there is a very precious point between the understanding of the past and the vision for the future; Paris and Armenia meet at that point. First because the understanding of the past makes us responsible for the history we are heirs of, but at the same time, we responsible for the present which we share with you today.
Today, I want to publicly and solemnly state the words I said in October when you received me. I want to state loudly Armenia's right to live in peace and security. With the same solemnity I would like to stress the necessity for the international community to recognize the Genocide of 1915 and importance of the criminalization of its denial. Paris has always been and will stand by the Armenian nation to defend the memories of its past and security of its present because the two are indivisible. Towards that end, together with the Yerevan City Hall and the Armenian Genocide Institute-Museum we organized here an exposition and for that purpose we every year hold a commemoration event at the Paris City Hall and at the same time commemorate the survivors and Father Komitas. Continuation of the works aimed at the preservation of the memory is also in our initiative to create a venue in the center of Paris which will immortalize the memories of Genocide and at the same time will signify the rebirth which will imply the destiny of the Armenian nation. I have defended the idea of creating such center from day one and I am hopeful that the idea will be called to life by the state and the region really fast, the city of Paris will be standing by them. I would like to greet the representatives of all municipal units who accompanied me during my visit to Yerevan. From that visit I received an inspiriting and fresh message: first, I saw the pivotal role, which the Armenian society attaches to culture, regardless of the difficulties it faces. I would like to quote with pleasure what one French official said: for the Armenians, to find creative expressions is like to nourish human life.
In the streets of Yerevan, culture appeared to us as a phenomenon endowed by the society with gentle humanity, that is, not as something which remained when all the rest is forgotten but as a phenomenon which we refuse to forget.
In that charming energy of the capital of Armenia I saw the reflection of the wealth which had been preserved and passed on by Komitas. After visiting your country, I believe I started to better understand the immense value of Komitas's work: on the eve of the horrendous trial, which the Armenian people had to face, through the preservation of the Armenian national culture to save a unique, universal and living part of the Armenian nation.
Familiar with the genius of Komitas, I saw culture in Yerevan not as something rare, which belongs to the cultural elite only but something which is accessible to all and is nourished by all.
We were impressed in particular by the TUMO center. Hundreds of young people, some gifted, some may not so, are studying informatics, open the world of innovative technologies, and will certainly create start-ups. There is no doubt that the Center is an innovative hub but at the same time it's a territory for the creation of the brains for the future; in France, we don't have yet such a center. Now, we are working actively to introduce the same great idea in our city.
As you see, Paris and Yerevan, France and Armenia can give each other as much as receive from each other, and that is something peculiar of a great friendship.
I would also like to take advantage of the presence of the Armenian clergy serving the Armenians of France and yours, Madam Minister of Diaspora, to declare that Paris shows full solidarity with the Christians of the East, and with all victims of the conflicts in Syria and Iraq.
That solidarity is very well defined; it is manifested in accepting multiple refugees, creation of the bridges, which are often fragile, sometime successful, but I know that any small bridge is more precious than arrogant walls of the world.
The Armenian clergy walked down that very bridges. Paris owes them tis cultural, intellectual, and spiritual wealth, and the Parisian Armenians are thankful to Paris for the chance to survive and to rebirth in the future.
In honor of these bridges, we have decided to rename one the streets of Paris after Zabel Esayan who was at the pick of the sufferings of the Armenian nation and symbolizes these sufferings.
In Paris, we keep the memory of the torments, which the Armenian nation had gone through, of the resistance and fight but at the same time we open new roads so that they, just like in Yerevan, express hope, inventions, and initiatives.
I wish that the Paris-Armenia dialogue continues remembering the dire days and in the name of a better days, a dialogue with the promise of a great and wonderful future.

Q: Once a cheater, always a cheater I wonder if the title phrase is ever used in a meaning different from the obvious one: cheating in a relationship? Can it refer to cheating in an exam or obtaining money in a dishonest way?

A: The "Once a, always a" is a common saying and can be used to illustrate multiple situations:

once a ——, always a ——
proverb: A person cannot change their fundamental nature
  once a whinger, always a whinger

(Oxford Dictionary)
So yes, you can use it for other types of cheating as well.

Cochin Travel Guide Cochin Trips The World Famous "hamlet" Of Mathen
The World famous "Hamlet" of Mathen
By Vinod Ponoth
This "Hamlet" does not have any direct connection to Shakespeare's longest play Hamlet, although the place does have its share of English connections. Hamlet incidentally means a small settlement and not as large as a village. The word has its origin in French. About 10 km to the west from the heart of the city of Kochi in Kerala is the famous locality called Mattanchery.
It is said that there used to be a prominent person by name Mathan who lived in the settlement in this area. A settlement or Hamlet is also known as 'cheri'(in Tamil). Once a bustling centre for trade, the foreign traders found it difficult to pronounce the word Mathan and this slowly became Mattan, since he lived in the settlement, 'cheri' got attached and hence the name of the place "Mattanchery".
There is also another story which highlight the presence of a Namboothiri illam by the name "Ancheri Mattom" which the foreign traders addressed in short form as Matt- Ancheri. A third story is off a street filled with butchers and hence the name mutton-cheri(courtesy Wikipedia). Whatever may have been the reason for the origin of the name, it is a special place which inhabits people from various walks of life and different parts of the country and abroad.
Fort Kochi is an adjacent place synonymous to Mattanchery and the hub of tourist activities in Cochin (Kochi). Mattanchery has a huge population of people from outside Kerala. Here one can find a large presence of Kutchi Memons, who are supposed to have settled here in about 1800 from Gujarat, to the business nerve centre. It is said that after the destruction of the Sea port at Kodungallur, it was Mattancheri that became the next important port. A visit to Mattanchery cannot be complete without visiting the famous Paradesi Synagogue, the only functioning one in India. In fact, Mattanchery had a large number of Jewish families after Chendamangalam, where they are supposed to have originally arrived from the west. However today they are just 3 of them around!
The following is a pictorial recount from the Heritage Walk of June 17th, 2018, organized by Sahapedia aptly named as Mattancherry - The Melting Pot of Cultures. The walk was led by Sri. Antony Thommen and some of the above information is from his introduction on Mattanchery
The huge varpu displayed at a artifacts shop. Originally Varpu, is a large cauldron made from cast bronze vert typical to Kerala.
Bringing back memories of Calcutta (Kolkata)
The kerosene lantern, known as "Ranthel" in Malayalam. I read somewhere that the name has its origin from Portuguese.
The police museum and its interesting collections...
You might wonder what is special in this picture. Well the map of India and everything on that piece of cloth is embroidered. Seen to be believed.
It is is wedding snap of Sarah Cohen, the oldest surviving Jew in Cochin.
At Sarah Cohen's place the pedestal fan was interesting to observe.
Sometimes I wonder how careless can people be. If you zoom into this picture you will notice that this exhibit is supposed to be a "wooden doll" which should have read as "Wooden Doli"!!!!
The Royal emblem.

Are You Spit in God's Mouth?
God gives moments of rest, where we re-group and then carry on, but He doesn't allow us to stop and gloat.
We can feel proud of our child's accomplishments but we cannot rest there.
When every son graduates, I heave a sigh of relief that milestone is finished. But that accomplishment comes with vulnerability. I know their weaknesses and pray that they stand in the world and look to God as they make their decisions.
I could become immobilized by the world's dangers or rest in what they've already done, but I must return to my work with added motivation and help those boys who remain.
The complacency of "just getting them through" is gone and the push for diligence takes its place—for a short time. It is so easy to "just do enough to get by." Sometimes my dinners are just slopped together. Sometimes my teaching is just "get them through." Sometimes . . . that's complacency. There's no energy to do it. Where's the motivation? the drive? the umphf?
I want to be finished but I'm not, but I act like I am, and rush through what must be done. I'm complacent.
I'm spit in God's mouth.
There's no "retirement" with God.
Many Christians want to be on a shelf and admired for what they have done, instead of what they should still be doing.
Because you say, 'I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing,' and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked, I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent." (Revelation 3:14-19).
Because of our "shelf" mentality, we don't even know how wretched we are. We see through rose-colored glasses, and don't realize the river has taken us away from God. We've lost what's valuable and we don't even miss it. We're exposed, vulnerable, and needy, and don't even know our clothes are gone! We can't see the truth for the pride that we keep.
But the angel doesn't leave us there. What does he say?
Zealous is a negative term today. We want to be "balanced," not over-bearing, nor commanding, cautious and calculating, not jumping in without thinking.
But the angel reproves and disciplines us to be zealous.
That's giving God your entire heart.
Am I so bad I must repent?
Look at the state of this church.
They are naked and don't even know it.
They have taken their eyes off God.
They have forgotten what it's like to see. When I wore my glasses for the first time, I could not believe how green the grass was, and the sky—it was so blue. And the street signs, I could now read them. My brain had adjusted to the fuzzy, blurry images relayed by my eyes. I processed the world through a haze.
In the same way, our complacency with what God has given us to do—Be a Mom—makes us lose sight of eternal values, of what's important, of what we should be doing. We see through a haze and think we are rich, when we are destitute. Our priorities are skewed. We've lost our values. What was once dear is now trampled. We no longer see from God's perspective.
Repent of losing sight of God and what He values.
Repent of not giving God your whole heart.
"Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches" (Revelation 3:20-22).
Jesus said, "I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me."
By allowing Christ to control every area of your life there won't be room for half-done jobs.
You're with Him or you're not.
You give your whole heart.
He doesn't eat with someone without changing them.
Zacchaeus, as a tax-collector, gave back four times what he stole from the people when Jesus ate with him.
The Pharisees, wanting to trap Jesus, invited him to dinner. They ended up killing him.
That's either hot or cold.
God won't keep spit in his mouth.
I want to dine with Jesus, not just be spit.

1 Isaac called Jacob to come to him. He blessed Jacob. He told him, 'Do not marry a Canaanite woman. 2 Go now to Paddan Aram. Go to the house of your mother's father, Bethuel. Find a wife for yourself from there. Choose one of the daughters of your mother's brother, Laban. 3 I pray that God Almighty will bless you. I pray that he will give you many children, so that your descendants become a large nation of people. 4 May God bless you and your descendants with the good things that he promised to Abraham. The land that he promised to give to Abraham will then belong to you. That is the land where you now live as a foreign person.'
5 Isaac sent Jacob away and Jacob went to Paddan Aram. He went to stay with Laban, who was the son of Bethuel, the Aramean. Laban was the brother of Rebekah. Rebekah was the mother of Jacob and Esau.
6 Esau heard that Isaac had blessed Jacob and then sent him away to Paddan Aram. Isaac had told Jacob to find a woman from Paddan Aram that he would marry. Isaac had said to Jacob, 'Do not marry a Canaanite woman.' 7 Esau saw that Jacob had obeyed his father and mother, and that he had gone to Paddan Aram. 8 So Esau then understood that his father, Isaac, did not like the Canaanite women. 9 So Esau went to visit Abraham's son, Ishmael. He married Ishmael's daughter, Mahalath, the sister of Nebaioth. When Esau married Mahalath, he kept his Canaanite wives as well.
Isaac blesses Jacob
Jacob's journey

Regarding "Pentagon to allow women in combat": Leon Panetta's swan song as secretary of defense is the policy directive to allow women in our armed services to serve in front-line combat roles. This can hardly be seen as anything more than a directive designed to weaken our nation's battle readiness under the guise of gender neutralization, and of course the standard political pandering to special-interest groups under the guise of gender equality.
The warriors who serve in front line combat positions are different — some would say better — than the other 99 percent of Americans, insomuch as they train and sacrifice so that they may defend a nation, literally with their lives. These warriors go to battle leaving girlfriends, wives and mothers purposefully behind.
The question I have centers not around whether some of our female soldiers could achieve the same performance standards that our male soldiers are required to achieve, but whether the inevitable breakdown in unit cohesion for the sake of rank and promotion is really worth our humanity and national security?
Regarding Kathleen Parker's column about women in combat ("Sirens of the Pentagon,"): No one has suggested that a woman be placed in a front-line infantry unit. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey have had their fill of women demanding the privilege. To reasonably address the issue, a study of modern warfare will help.
A female paratrooper with 50 pounds of equipment jumping into France is ridiculous on the face of it. In January 1945, the Army sent student pilots with more than six weeks until graduation to Belgium as infantry. Eisenhower offered to commute the sentence of military prisoners if they would serve in the infantry. Yet at no time did the Army say to what was then the Women's Auxiliary Army Corps, "How would you like to go to Belgium?"
Russia had an all-female fighter squadron. Female Russian snipers did incredible work. Most of Russia's front-line medics were women, and their bravery at Stalingrad was unsurpassed. Nowhere can one find mention of females toting a rifle. The Army is known for doing from time to time stupid and irrational things. Giving an M16 to an 18-year-old girl should not be the next one.
What is happening to America? There are too many able-bodied young fellows sitting around, hardly earning their keep, and getting tattoos to evince their masculinity. And now, we want to send young women into combat?
All reasonably intelligent Americans agree that gender equality should be available and enforced. But there is one aspect where inequality prevails. Each of those young females is a potential mother, something no male can accomplish. That's the only logical reason to keep these brave and patriotic ladies out of harm's way. And it is enough.
Let's draft young men, as we've been doing since the Revolutionary War. We can afford to have them maimed or killed. But not our girls.
Have our elected officials and women's lib lobbyists lost their minds?
Before we send our ladies into "war is hell," let America see whom Washington is sending to the front. Pit the women against the men in a National Football League, National Basketball Association or National Hockey League game. Let Americans watch the games and answer for themselves: Are women ready for mortal combat against men?
At halftime, show sadomasochistic "snuff" films. That would be only a hint of what the female troops would experience when captured by Mideast or African gentlemen. Bring on women in combat, and send the politicians and lobbyists with them.
Years ago, women wanted to be equal to men. They got their wish.
They started getting jobs that men did, like climbing telephone poles and light poles, working in construction and joining the police force. You name it, and women are working the jobs that men used to do to feed their families. So if women want to be treated equally, then, yes, they need to be in combat, same as men.
This quote is from the article "Do women belong in combat?": "All these people who think women should be on the front lines wouldn't want their mothers or daughters to be there." Who wants their fathers and sons on the front lines? If women want equality, they should get equality. Men on the front lines, women on the front lines, too. Thanks to all servicemen and women.
I believe a woman should be in combat if that is where she wants to be and is qualified to be there.
My brother was among the ground troops in Kuwait, and I remember how difficult it was for all of us to think about what could happen to him. It was his life and we respected that. As a mother, I do not want my son there anymore then I would want my daughter there, but I do not choose his or her destiny. I can only guide them.
I have just read, with disgust, the Sunday article "All curbs lifted on backyard gunfire."
It is beyond reason and a dereliction of civil responsibility that our state legislature could have passed such a law, which was then hammered home by our governor. Now it becomes a nightmare for county law enforcement, who have to deal with the ramifications.
This is just another example of how the National Rifle Association has intimidated the political establishment, including Congress. There is no greater fear-mongering organization in the world. What else can explain the near fanatical attachments some people have to cold, inanimate objects that are designed to kill something? The result is increased membership fees to the NRA, which means more money for the gun manufacturers. That, and not the Constitution, is the reason the NRA is so powerful.
Lawn jarts more hazardous than guns?
Let me get this straight. I can go out in my back yard and plink at tin cans with my .22 rifle, but I cannot purchase a set of "lawn jarts" because they constitute a health hazard? As usual, the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.
I would like to comment on the Harold Meyerson article "Longshoremen show the need for unions."
Mr. Meyerson discussed the high salaries obtained by the union for longshoremen, saying that the unions forced employers to share gains in productivity with the workers remaining on the job. In a way, he is correct, but for only one of the reasons he gave in the article.
The longshoremen's union has been successful because their work can't be outsourced, and technology has not yet provided cost-effective alternatives. There are extremely few private sector jobs in the U.S. that are protected in that way. When the employers must compete in the global economy, the unions usually are limited to trying to provide job security. If the private sector unions don't compromise, their employers go out of business because they are uncompetitive.
The only other exception is public-sector unions, and some of them are starting to see that there are limits on how much taxpayers can or will pay for those services. When public sector employees are paid significantly more salary, not even considering benefits, than some private sector employees, there will be a day of reckoning.
History has proven that the long-term solution is getting replacement jobs that enlightened governments help employers create through re-training and job creation incentives. Unions have an important place in protecting employees from unfair labor practices. The longshoremen union has to be careful to not demand salaries and benefits that force employers to find cost-effective solutions that eliminate their protected status.

Pastor Shelton took the pastorate of First Baptist Church, Algiers in 1927 and began to devote all his time and energy to evangelizing southeast Louisiana. After the Lord saved him in 1942, he tirelessly sought, through the means of radio and the printed page, the salvation of the souls of men everywhere. He preached "God's Word as it is, to men as they are" until his death in 1971. He founded the worldwide ministry of Radio Missions and the "The Old Puritan Press" which is still being carried on today. Pastor Shelton's messages are currently broadcast over more than 40 radio stations, and approximately 300 message titles are available in print for free distribution. He is also the author of several books.
RADIO MISSIONS is the 80-year-old work of First Baptist Church, Algiers, which originated on the West Bank of New Orleans, Louisiana. Since August of 2005 it has been located in Walker, LA. after Hurricane Katrina caused much damage to the facilities in New Orleans. Our Pastor is Bro. Albert Pendarvis who was awakened to his lost condition in the early days of this ministry, saved and called by God to preach the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord is blessing his preaching and labors in this work as he "earnestly contends for the faith that was once delivered unto the saints." Services are held at 9559 Florida Blvd, Walker, LA every Sunday and Wednesday night.
Bro. Pendarvis is the fourth Pastor to shepherd the work since the founder, L. R. Shelton, Sr., passed away in 1971. Pastors Gueho, Messer, and Cowles succeeded Bro. Shelton in turn and all have since followed him on to glory. Each man was led of the Holy Spirit to continue Bro. Shelton's awakening ministry by publishing his Sermons and airing his messages around the nation over the "Voice of Truth" and "Trailblazer" broadcasts.
