Regime bombardment kills 12 civilians in northwest Syria

Regime air strikes killed 12 civilians including four at a market on Sunday in an extremist bastion in northwest Syria, a war monitor said.
A young girl was among those killed at the market in the town of Maaret al-Numan in Idlib province, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
Eight other civilians were killed elsewhere by government fire in Idlib, a stronghold of Syria's former al-Qaeda affiliate Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the Britain-based monitor said.
Idlib is supposed to be protected from a massive government offensive by a September buffer zone deal, but the extremist bastion has come under increasing bombardment by the regime and its Russian ally since late April.
An AFP reporter in Maaret al-Numan saw a young man carry the arched body of what appeared to be a young girl out over grey rubble after the air strike.
Another man retrieved a distressed, dust-covered young girl, slung over his shoulder.
Witness Hamdu Mustafa said he was out shopping when the air strike hit.
Everybody was "in the street selling and buying," he told AFP.
"The planes targeted civilians who were buying food for their children," he said.
Nearby, rescue workers known as the White Helmets directed a bulldozer to clear the debris.
Fighting has raged to the south of the bastion in recent days.

On Sunday, regime forces took back control of the town of Kafr Nabuda in the north of Hama province, the Observatory and state news agency SANA said.
HTS and allied armed groups overran part of the town in recent days, after the regime first expelled them on May 8.
The United Nations has warned that an all-out offensive on the Idlib region would lead to a humanitarian catastrophe for its nearly three million residents.
The Observatory says more than 230 civilians have been killed in the spike in violence since the end of April.
More than 200,000 civilians have already been displaced by this upsurge of violence, the United Nations has said.
A total of 20 health facilities have been hit by the escalation - 19 of which remain out of service, according to the UN.

Every effort has been made to assess your property on a fair and equitable basis. However, if you feel the assessment value shown does not represent the present market value of your property, or the assessed value is not uniform (in-line) with similar properties in your area, you may make an appointment to discuss your assessment. Values may be raised, lowered or remain the same during these hearings in order to maintain equalization.
The citizens of the County determine the value of real estate in Powhatan County by buying and selling properties in arms-length transactions, thus creating the real estate market. The County utilizes the services of a third-party assessment firm to interpret the real estate market to assign assessed value to real property in an equitable manner.
Property is assessed every other year and the assessed value is effective on January 1, the valuation date (January 1, 2010, January 1, 2012, January 1, 2014, January 1, 2016, etc.). Notices are sent to all property owners by November 5th preceding the valuation date.
If a property owner believes that the assessed value does not represent fair market value, is not equitable with similar properties in the County, or contains a factual error about the property, the County has several appeal processes.
This process is now closed as of November 3, 2017.
As a result of an appeal, assessments may increase, decrease, or reflect no change. Appeal results from the assessor will be mailed out by December 31, 2017.
The owner/agent may appeal to the BOE by completing the Board of Equalization Appeal Form. Hearings will be scheduled starting January 1, 2018. Board of Equalization Appeal Forms must be filed by April 2, 2018. Download fillable form here.
The owner/agent may appeal the assessed value to the Circuit Court of Powhatan County. This is not an administrative procedure and filings are made to the Clerk of the Circuit Court. The owner/agent may appeal to the Circuit Court without first appealing to the assessor or the BOE.
If a property record includes factual errors, the owner/agent completes the Administrative Correction Form and submits it to the Commissioner of Revenue's Office. Factual errors may be corrected at any time and may result in an increase, decrease, or no change to an assessed value.


These Shrimp and Avocado Spring Rolls are perfect for a warm summer day, no need for the oven and dinner is ready in no time!
Soak one of the Spring Roll Wrappers at a time into a bowl of warm water for about 20 to 30 seconds. When the wrapper begins to loosen up and become elastic-like, remove from water and set on a damp towel or clean plate.
Gently pat wrapper dry, then arrange vegetables in the center of wrapper. Start with the Spinach Leaves, then top with cucumber and carrots, followed by avocado slices, then top with Medium-Large Cooked Shrimp, four per roll.
Fold the left and right sides of the wrapper towards the middle, then fold the top flap over the vegetables, tuck everything in, and tightly roll it all up. The wrapper will be sticky and delicate, so work carefully, and it will get easier with each one.
Cut the rolls in half and serve with Sweet Chili Sauce.

Bitter Seeds by Ian Tregillis
By Laura M. Hughes
Bitter Seeds is the first book in Ian Tregillis' Milkweed Triptych, and tells of an attempt to uncover and foil a covert and mysterious Nazi operation during World War II. British Intelligence operative Raybould Marsh discovers part of a film reel which seems to show Germans scientifically imbued with superhero-esque abilities, and he is determined to stop it: thus is born the ultra-secret Project Milkweed. After a series of defeats at the hands of the Germans, it appears the war is all but lost; however, the British are not without their own secret weapon . . . but using it comes with a heavy price.
I recently read The Violent Century by Lavie Tidhar, and the general premise is the same: what if there were soldiers with special powers, and how would they affect the war? However, while Tidhar's Ubermensch are born with their powers, Tregillis' soldiers are the result of horrific scientific experiments who are only able to utilise their abilities through having surgery to connect their brains to a special battery. The most notable of these are Reinhardt, who can harness heat; Gretel, who can see the future (but doesn't always choose to share it with others); and Klaus, who is one of the main POV characters and can walk through walls.
The story of the German super soldiers is really interesting, particularly at the start when we don't know very much about them apart from the hints in a damaged and creepy film reel. However, I felt that the British answer to them – the Eidolons – was a bit ridiculous, and was somewhat shoe-horned into the story. I would have preferred to see the British using their wits and strategy to overcome the scientifically superior German soldiers, rather than resorting to improbable supernatural forces. Saying that, I did like that the Eidolons came with a price, and that the author used the character of William to explore the argument of whether or not it is right to sacrifice a few for the needs of the many.
For me, one of the things that really stood out about Tregillis' writing was the vivid descriptions. Whether the author is describing a battleground, a car journey, a pub, or just a man sitting in an office, he makes you feel as though you're actually there: you can feel the heat of the explosions, hear the tick of the car's engine, see the condensation on the pint glass and smell the smoke from the match used to light a cigarette. The author does a great job re-creating the wartime atmosphere, and his focus on the senses really helps bring every single scene, big or small, to life. Highly recommended.

In the hit film The Devil Wears Prada Meryl Streep is fabulously ferocious as fashion powerhouse Miranda Priestly.
During a pitch she shuts down her subordinate's rather mundane suggestion of florals, sarcastically stating 'Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking…' While the correlation between the pattern and the season may seem all too obvious to the grand dame of designer detail, the floral trends we're seeing for this year are anything but ordinary.
Floral offers a classic and beautifully feminine approach to spring and it can be found in everything from a boldly patterned blouse or skirt to a myriad of amazing accessories. This season it's not just the ladies, who you will find in full bloom. Now, it goes without saying that it would take a strong, confident man to pull this look off. However, this is not the first time that men's fashion has faced the invasion of a rather unexpected print. Previous seasons have focused on a wide range of powerful patterns including animal and camouflage. Each of these looks can be described as both youthful and totally unconventional. Sometimes it's the most cutting edge idea that ends up enduring season after season, continually being reinvented and gaining momentum in new and exciting collections all over the world. You'll find that even edgier brands like Dr. Martens have updated their latest offerings to include a touch of floral. Try this trend on for size by infusing your current wardrobe with a floral shirt, tie or clutch depending on the look you're trying to achieve. Just don't overdo it or you might find yourself looking like a pair of curtains from the mid eighties.
Each season inevitably brings us an unexpected resurgence from the ghosts of fashion's past. This time, the nineties era inspired look appears to be it. Expect to see everything from baggy denim overalls and drop crotch sweat pants to killer kicks ideal for the basketball court rather than the boardroom. It's a more casual approach to fashion that is being warmly received. One facet of this emerging trend that is getting a lot of attention is what many are calling 'the fashion sweatshirt'. This spring essential is a modern take on an old favourite and can be seen in several different incarnations that encompass rich fabrics like lace and leather and unexpected embellishments and prints. One of the first to catch our eye was the hugely popular Givenchy Rottweiler sweater which gave couture credibility to classic comfort. This was spotted on almost everybody who is anybody including current fashion icons like Rihanna and Kanye West. Since then, it's exploded onto tees and totes and we've witnessed several takes on this trend that successfully merge high fashion with casual street style. A current favorite is the 'Homies' crewneck which parodies iconic French fashion house Hermes and the YSL spoofed 'Ain't Laurent Without Yves'.
Spring is the perfect time to tone up and get fighting fit. Especially since the crop top look has taken over the runways at New York Fashion week. The exposed midriff has been building for several seasons and is now making its way onto the spring/summer scene. Noteworthy designers including Alexander Wang, Badgley Mischka and Michael Kors all featured this look, often paired with oversize jackets and trousers or accompanied by a flowing skirt. It's a more elegant approach on a look that you may recall with a slight cringe when thinking back to the 90s. Rest assured it's less 'Hit Me Baby One More Time' and more 'haute couture at the perfect time'. Use this as the perfect opportunity to cut the carbs, hit the gym and put a spring in your step with a healthy attitude as you look forward to the warm months ahead.
Another dominant look seen throughout the spring/summer shows was androgynous structure and styling for both men and women. This blurring of the genders was revealed in boyish tailoring in several top women's collections including Victoria Beckham and 3.1 Phillip Lim. The goal is no longer curve-hugging silhouettes that showcase every angle. Instead, we are witnessing a masculine, monochrome style that's relaxed in shape and consisting of high waisted cropped trousers, slouchy blazers and simple black and white collared shirts. Many of this season's top presentations finished off this look by borrowing from the boys and lacing up a pair of heavy, classic brogues.
For men, it's almost less about what guys are wearing and more about what they are carrying. 'Man bags' have experienced a bit of renaissance over the past several seasons. Gone are the typical messenger bags and duffels we're used to seeing swung over fashion savvy shoulders. In its place are several more sophisticated options in a wide variety of styles, sizes and textures that are perfect for any occasion. Outside of almost any show you can expect to see an army of male bloggers, writers and critics coveting document style leather folios. Most likely containing iPads, tablets or whatever they are currently using to keep a steady pulse on the ever changing world of fashion. Bottega Veneta, Burberry and Jil Sander all showcased softer, slouchier clutches, totes and carryalls throughout their presentations that reflect the overarching theme of a more relaxed look for spring.
So why give the cold weather a second thought? There's so much to look forward to this spring and it's not just the warmer weather. If these frigid temperatures have got you down, grab a warm cup of your favorite blend, park yourself by the fire and browse the web for your favorite brands. With all the bright colors, bold patterns and freshly updated throwbacks we're sure to see, these trends will no doubt melt the hearts of even the frostiest fashion critics.

Archaeologists have found a 132-year-old rifle propped against a tree in Nevada's Great Basin National Park.
It is unclear exactly how long the Winchester rifle had been left there, but it was long enough to leave the stock cracked and buried in dirt.
"It really is a mystery," said Nichole Andler, a spokeswoman for the park.
The Winchester rifle was common at the turn of the 20th century in the US West during a time when the now parklands were used for mining and ranching.
More than 700,000 rifles were made by the firm between 1873 and 1916.
Records for the gun show it was manufactured and shipped in 1882, but park experts have not yet been able to track its use since then.
"It probably has a very good and interesting story," Ms Andler told the Washington Post.
"But it probably is a story that could have happened to almost anyone living this sort of extraordinary existence out here in the Great Basin Desert".
The park is located in the eastern part of Nevada, and and is known for its caves and 5,000-year-old pine trees.
Ms Andler said the gun might have been overlooked in the past because the grey stock of the wood blended in with the tree.
The gun will be preserved in its current state and put on display at the park.

Gabriella Mangano and Silvana Mangano studied drawing before they began making video works together. Using improvised choreography and working with their own bodies and simple materials, they emphasise gesture, process and sculptural form. There is no there 2015 was inspired by the Blue Blouse theatre collective (1924–32), which created a type of performance called Living Newspapers based on topical news events. Expanding their concept of performance, the Manganos have designed an installation space featuring a video projection and geometric platforms upon which dancers will perform carefully choreographed gestures and movements referring to current news events. Extending the notion of community engagement, they are collaborating with local QUT dance students to activate the space during the exhibition.

Run by the Lions Clubs International, the competition is designed to encourage, foster and develop leadership in young people.
Categories in the competition include leadership, personal improvement, sportsmanship, citizenship, community involvement and public speaking.
For as long as she can remember the 16-year-old has enjoyed public speaking.
She said in primary school she was always the student to give the vote of thanks to visitors.
While her love for speaking remains, the content and complexity of her addresses has changed.
Her prepared speech for the Lions competition is about wild animal suffering.
"All my family hate all the suffering that happens with animals right around the world," Norma-Jane said.
The speech has been well received, with Norma-Jane securing first place at club and regional level in the Lions Club Competition.
Norma-Jane was also named the overall winner at the regional round of competition.
Two students from Faith Lutheran College enter the Lions competition each year.
Norma-Jane hoped to follow in the footsteps of Faith alumnus Dominic Medford, who won the public speaking category of the competition in 2017, and was named overall runner up.
Faith Lutheran College debating coach Cassandra Richardson said being an all-rounder was important and Norma-Jane was a stand out.
"We pick two students every year who have good leadership skills, do things in the community, and are involved in sport," Miss Richardson said.
Norma-Jane has been a part of the debating program since year 9.
"She's studious, doesn't stress too much, always gets the job done, cool calm and collected," Miss Richardson said.
If Norma-Jane is successful at the district competition she will advance to the state competition in a bid to become the 2019 Lions Youth of the Year.

Home Criminal Law Crimes & Penalties by State Tennessee Crimes: Laws & Penalties
Tennessee Domestic Abuse Crimes
A person who commits domestic assault or a related offense in Tennessee can face serious criminal penalties, including lengthy terms of imprisonment, substantial fines, restrictions on firearm possession, and negative immigration consequences.
By Kat McClain, Attorney
Tennesse's Domestic Abuse Act stresses the seriousness of domestic violence and provides enhanced legal protections to victims of domestic violence. Crimes involving physical injury, physical restraint, or fear of harm committed against a family or household member are considered domestic abuse crimes. Domestic abuse crimes may include domestic or aggravated assault, stalking, harassment, protection order violations, and sexual assault, to name a few.
This article will discuss Tennessee's criminal penalties for domestic abuse crimes. More information on civil orders of protection can be found in our article Tennessee Domestic Abuse Orders of Protection.
Safety and Privacy Considerations for Victims When Seeking Help
Be sure to consider the privacy of your computer, smartphone, or tablet when seeking help online or over the phone. Some victims might use the same device, network, or phone plan as the abuser, allowing the abuser to see the victim's search or call history or otherwise track their activity. Many smart devices contain cameras or GPS tracking that can be used to locate and monitor your whereabouts. If you're concerned about your privacy or safety, several organizations provide assistance and resources, including National Domestic Violence Hotline and RAINN. You can also check out our Resources for Victims of Crime.
Domestic Assault Crimes in Tennessee
One of the most commonly charged domestic abuse crimes is domestic assault. Even though other crimes—like aggravated assault and stalking—are not labeled as "domestic crimes," they carry additional penalties and restrictions if committed against a family or household member.
Assault consists of any of the following conduct:
intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causing bodily injury to another person
causing a person to reasonably fear imminent bodily injury, or
causing physical contact that a reasonable person would find extremely provocative or offensive.
Family and household members. The law categorizes the assault as domestic if the offender and victim share one of the following relationships:
current or former spouses
current or former roommates
current or former dating or sexual partners
persons related by blood or adoption
persons currently or formerly related by marriage, or
parent and child (including an adult or minor child of the offender or a family or household member).
When assault results in serious bodily injury or involves a deadly weapon or attempted strangulation (definitions below), the prosecutor can file charges for aggravated assault. A defendant who assaults another person in violation of a restraining order can also face aggravated assault charges.
Serious bodily injury. Serious bodily injury involves significant harm such as a broken bone, disfigurement, loss of a limb, or an injury requiring surgery or hospitalization.
Deadly weapon. An object that's capable of causing death or serious bodily injury constitutes a deadly weapon. Examples include a firearm, a large hunting knife, and brass knuckles. Tennessee courts have ruled that body parts, like fists and feet, do not qualify as deadly weapons.
Strangulation. Strangulation occurs when an offender intentionally obstructs another's normal breathing or blood circulation by applying pressure to their throat or neck or by blocking their nose and mouth.
(Tenn. Code §§ 36-3-601; 39-13-101, -102; 39-13-111 (2020).)
Penalties for Domestic Assault and Aggravated Assault
Penalties for domestic assault and aggravated assault range from misdemeanors to serious felonies.
Misdemeanor Domestic Assault
Domestic assault qualifies as a Class A or B misdemeanor, depending on the circumstances of the conduct involved. An offender guilty of a Class A misdemeanor—by causing or threatening bodily injury—faces penalties of up to 11 months and 29 days in jail and a $15,000 fine. A Class B misdemeanor conviction—by doing an act that is provocative or offensive—subjects the defendant to up to six months in jail and a $500 fine. The judge can impose an additional fine of $100 to $200.
Felony Aggravated Assault
A person convicted of aggravated assault faces a Class C or D felony, again, depending on the circumstances—for instance, whether the actor committed the assault intentionally or recklessly. A person guilty of a Class C felony (intentional act) faces three to 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. A Class D felony (reckless behavior) carries two to 12 years in prison and a $5,000 fine. For domestic-related offenses, the judge can impose an additional fine of up to $200.
Repeat Offenses and Restitution
Defendants who commit repeated acts of domestic assault face harsher penalties, including mandatory sentences and fines.
The judge can also order a defendant to pay restitution to the domestic abuse victim for any expenses resulting from the crime, such as hospital bills, counseling, and repair or replacement costs of damaged property.
(Tenn. Code §§ 39-13-101, -111; 40-35-111 (2020).)
Domestic Abuse-Related Crimes and Penalties
Domestic abuse crimes involve more than assault offenses. Related offenses include stalking, harassment, and violating an order of protection, among other crimes.
A person commits harassment by communicating with another in a harmful, threatening, or offensive manner. The law classifies harassment as either a Class A misdemeanor or a Class E felony.
Stalking involves an offender repeatedly and continually harassing a person in a manner that causes the victim to reasonably feel terrorized, frightened, intimated, threatened, harassed, or molested. Three punishment levels exist for stalking, ranging from a Class A misdemeanor to a Class C felony.
Violating an Order of Protection
Violating an order of protection or other restraining order—whether issued in civil or criminal court—constitutes a Class A misdemeanor. These court orders typically prohibit the abuser from contacting or harm the victim and impose other restrictions on the abuser.
(Tenn. Code §§ 39-13-113; 39-17-308, -315; 40-35-111 (2020).)
Arrest, Bail, and Firearm Restrictions for Domestic Abuse
In addition to imprisonment and monetary costs, Tennessee law establishes the following conditions, restrictions, and penalties for domestic abuse cases.
Domestic Abuse Arrests
If a police officer has probable cause to believe an individual committed a domestic abuse-related crime, they can arrest the perpetrator without a warrant, unless a clear and compelling reason exists not to arrest them on the spot. The officer can make the arrest regardless of the crime's severity and even if the officer didn't witness the unlawful conduct. If law enforcement thinks the offender used any weapons in the commission of the crime, those must be seized.
Bail and Pretrial Release
Pretrial release conditions in domestic abuse cases typically include restrictions such as ordering the offender to stay away from and not contact the victim and prohibiting any use of firearms. Judges determine the bail amount and any conditions based on a defendant's flight risk and risk of harm to the victim and others. Depending on the offender's previous criminal record and the severity of the current offense, the judge may require a GPS device in order to monitor the defendant's whereabouts.
Firearm Restrictions
A person convicted of domestic assault loses the right to possess firearms. Additionally, those subject to an order of protection must also refrain from possessing or carrying firearms. Refusing to surrender firearms constitutes a Class A misdemeanor. Federal law contains a similar provision regarding firearm restrictions.
(Tenn. Code §§ 36-3-619, -620; 39-13-111; 40-7-103; 40-11-150; 18 U.S.C. §§ 921, 922 (2020).)
If you've been arrested for or charged with a domestic violence-related crime, contact a local criminal defense attorney today. A conviction for domestic assault can become part of your permanent criminal record and negatively impact your ability to find employment or housing or own a firearm. An experienced lawyer will discuss the circumstances unique to your situation, formulate possible defenses, and protect your constitutional rights.


What are data backups and what do they contain? Should you duplicate your files and email messages on a daily basis?
A backup is a copy of a website that is kept on a different server and could be restored if something wrong happens with the live Internet site - a defeated script update, an unintentional deletion of a file or of your whole database, and so forth. Restoring the Internet site the way it was will remove or decrease the damage the issue may have caused, that is by all means a certainly better option than having to rebuild the whole Internet site from scratch. Though you could download a copy of your content on your computer, keeping a backup is a feature that most web hosting providers include as part of their plans. You'll have to check how often they do that, though, because some service providers generate a backup just once every couple of days, that could be far from enough for a booking site or an e-commerce portal in which the information is updated every single day. It's adviseable to see how quick and simple a backup could be restored, which could be critical if some issue appears on your Internet site.
Because we know how important your site data is, we keep day-to-day backups of all your files and databases, so in case anything breaks down, the website may be restored just the way it was. Also, we generate no less than 4 individual backups every single day, so what will be restored shall be nearly identical with, if not exactly the same as, what you had before. You may browse the backups right through the File Manager section of your Hepsia Cp and see on what day and at what hour they were made. Then you could just copy the content to the live site folder. Alternatively, you can contact us and we will restore the backup from the needed date for you. We keep backups regardless of which shared web hosting you have selected, so you'll never have to concern yourself with losing any part of your web content.
You'll never worry about your site content when you purchase a semi-dedicated server from our company, simply because our system creates regular backup copies of everything you upload or set up within the account. What's more, this happens a minimum of 4 times daily, so the worst that can happen shall be for your website to look the way it did several hours earlier. That's a lot better compared with what other firms typically offer where you can practically lose days or perhaps weeks of work. The backups are available as browsable folders within the File Manager section of the web hosting Control Panel, so you could just copy the content to the actual domain folder and you shall be all set to go. You could also communicate with us using a support ticket and request a backup to be restored, though you could do that yourself without any problem using the intuitive and user-friendly Hepsia Control Panel.


5.0 x 3.8 x 3.3 in.
The Sony Alpha A390 is based around a Sony Bionz image processor, and an APS-C sized (23.5 x 15.7mm), 14.2 effective megapixel image sensor. The sensor is mounted on a moveable platter, allowing it to provide for in-body SteadyShot image stabilization, and resides behind a Sony A lens mount that's also compatible with Minolta and Konica Minolta-branded AF lenses. The Alpha A390 is capable of shooting at 2.5 frames per second when using the optical viewfinder, and 2.0 frames per second when using live view. The A390 also includes Sony's anti dust system, consisting of a low-charge coating over the sensor, and dust removal achieved using the sensor shift mechanism.
The Sony Alpha A390 is a direct replacement for the Alpha A380, and features a similar body design, but with a more traditional grip which should prove more comfortable. As with the previous model, the A390 has clearly been designed with simplicity in mind, with an interface that reduces the number of rear-panel buttons, plus a GUI design with extensive settings help available through the LCD display, and a clearer display of the camera's status. this includes Sony's distinctive shutter / aperture gauges, which show the effect of each variable on images in terms of blur / sharpness. The Alpha 290 features a penta dach-mirror TTL optical viewfinder with 95% coverage, 0.74x magnification, -2.5 to +1.0m-1 diopter correction and a 16.5mm eyepoint.
The Sony A390 uses a nine-point autofocus system. Sensitivities range from a minimum of ISO 100 to a maximum of ISO 3,200 equivalent, while shutter speeds are from 1/4000 to 30 seconds plus bulb. Metering is achieved courtesy of a 40-segment honeycomb SPC, and Sony has included Dynamic Range Optimization, a built-in auto popup flash, and a hot shoe for external flash strobes. A self-timer function captures three or five shots after a 10-second delay.
Power comes from an NP-FH50 rechargeable battery, which includes Sony's ActiForce technology, allowing faster charging during the initial 80% of the charge process, as well as improved battery gauge accuracy. Images are stored in either Raw or JPEG formats separately or simultaneously, on either SD / SDHC cards or Sony's own MemoryStick PRO Duo cards. Connectivity options include USB 2.0 High-Speed, as well as HDMI for connection to high-definition displays. Note that there's no standard-definition video connectivity, though.
The Sony Alpha DSLR-A390 is priced at $599.99 with an 18-55mm kit lens, and ships in the USA from July 2010.

Lady Raiders blow another lead against Southern Miss
Lady Raiders blow another lead against Southern Miss Lady Raiders blow another lead against Southern Miss Check out this story on dnj.com: http://on.dnj.com/1DLm6IW
Jason Munz, Hattiesburg American Published 10:16 p.m. CT Feb. 5, 2015 | Updated 10:17 p.m. CT Feb. 5, 2015
MTSU women's basketball coach Rick Insell(Photo: MTSU)
HATTIESBURG – Southern Miss enjoys the underdog label.
Especially against MTSU. The Lady Eagles knocked off the Lady Raiders for the second time this season — and the third time since MTSU joined Conference USA last season — with a 70-65 overtime win Thursday at Reed Green Coliseum.
For the third time in three weeks, Southern Miss' women's basketball team beat the league's first-place team, sandwiching a win over Western Kentucky with the victories over MTSU.
"Can't too many people say they've beaten Middle Tennessee at home and at their place," said junior Lady Eagle Jerontay Clemons.
The Lady Eagles improve to 14-7 overall and 7-3 in C-USA action, while the Lady Raiders fall to 14-6 and 8-2. Southern Miss is the only team in C-USA since MTSU joined the league to beat the Lady Raiders.
Senior Tamara Jones led the home team with 22 points and 12 rebounds, while Clemons also contributed a double-double with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Brittanny Dinkins added 13 points in the winning effort for the Lady Eagles.
Southern Miss trailed 47-38 with less than seven minutes left in the game. But Clemons, a junior guard, put up nine points over the final six minutes, 44 seconds to give the Lady Eagles the surge it needed.
The Coldwater native's jumper with 14 seconds left in regulation tied the game 56-56, but it shouldn't have happened.
"That wasn't the play we were supposed to run," she said. "I was supposed to actually come off a baseline screen, but I knew I could make the shot so I took it."
Jones said she watched the play unfold and never doubted Clemons would hit the shot.
"It was definitely not the play coach drew up," she said. "But that was huge. She's comfortable with that one-dribble pull-up and the team has her back when she's shooting that shot."
Clemons: "That's my move, right-to-left cross-over. I knew I could nail that play."
MTSU attempted two shots in the final eight seconds but neither fell.
The Lady Raiders' Cheyenne Parker, who leads C-USA in scoring this season, led the visitors with 23 points and 14 rebounds. But she stayed in foul trouble for much of the game, playing just seven minutes in the first half after picking up two quickies.
Parker scored 19 second-half points but fouled out early in overtime.
From there, it was all Southern Miss.
The dagger came for the Lady Eagles when Jones channeled her inner-Tom Brady on an in-bounds play. Up 63-60 with 50 seconds left in overtime, Jones threw the ball three-quarters of the length of the floor and found a wide-open Clemons who sank the basket and converted the three-point play.
"We ran that play at Western Kentucky," Clemons said. "We were successful with it, so coach drew it up again and it worked again."
Southern Miss head coach Joye Lee-McNelis said the key to Thursday's win, though, was defense.
"Both teams just really grinded it out defensively," she said. "Tonight, it was about defense and about us making plays when plays counted. Tamara Jones and Jerontay Clemons stepped up big and made plays happen for us."


Agricultural landowners and/or operators with property in the Fourteen Mile Creek or Goose Creek Watersheds are eligible to apply for cost-share funds to install best management practices (BMPs) that are designed to improve water quality in critical areas of the watersheds. BMPs are effective and practical methods that prevent or reduce the movement of sediment, nutrients, animal wastes, and other pollutants from the land to surface or ground water. Clark County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) is managing a grant through the United States EPA and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management to address water quality issues in the two watersheds through a cost-share program that will cover up to 60% of the installation costs for practices like alternative livestock watering systems, forage plantings, fencing, cover crops, and heavy use area protection.
Agricultural producers located in either the Fourteen Mile Creek Watershed and/or the Goose Creek Watershed are encouraged to contact the Watershed Coordinator, David Trotter, to determine if they are eligible to receive cost-share funding. The Fourteen Mile Creek/Goose Creek Watersheds are located in parts of Clark, Scott, and Jefferson Counties in Indiana. More information about the project, as well as, an application form for cost-share funding can be found at the project website (www.14milecreekwatershed.weebly.com) or contact the Clark County Soil and Water Conservation District at 812-256-2330, extension 3.

Hello & welcome to my small website on D-Models!
My name is Kate and I'm a spontaneous young woman of 28 years old. I'm always busy helping others or doing something nice and quiet some for myself.
As you can see I use an above knee prosthesis which gives me a lot of freedom of movement. I wear my prosthetic leg with pride because I have a long history of pain and loss of control behind me and now I have got my freedom in movement back.
When I was 6 years old all the trouble started with my left knee and these were very difficult to solve. At the age of 16 I also got problems with my left ankle after I sprained it very bad. The problems with my ankle were solved after 4 years by a team of specialists at another hospital. They have done some reconstruction to my ankle and after a year of rehab I was able to walk again without any problems. This team of specialists have also tried to fix my knee. This went very well in the beginning! After a full knee reconstruction and rehab of about two years nearly all of my problems were gone. I was about to go into the final phase of rehab in order to strengthen my muscles when I got involved in a car accident in 2011 at the age of 23. Because of the crash my left knee was damaged again and by a misjudgement of a doctor my left leg was forced into a cast. With this action they mostly pulled loose the reconstruction of the knee. The team of specialists who have previously helped me tried to get me going again, but unfortunately it was not possible to obtain a quality of life back in my leg. In February 2012 the team of specialists helped me to get rid of my pain with the amputation of my left leg just above the knee. Due to the good advice of the rehab team and the hard practice, I was able to walk out of rehab on a prosthetic leg only 18 weeks after the amputation and I only have to return for maintenance every now and then.
At the moment I fully enjoy life. After my health problems and also some personal problems as well I live happy together with my boyfriend. I definitely still have my days that walking isn't going very well but I don't mind. I'll take the day as it comes! The most important thing for me is that I do not need constant help in and around the house. I can joyfully go wherever I want and if it's not going to work I'll calmly do it the next day or I'll do it with the help of my boyfriend.
At the moment I'm not able to do a fulltime job so I'm a housewife. I don't get bored, because fortunately I have many hobbies that I can choose from. From glass engraving to designing stuff on paper to for example making cushion covers with a sewing machine. Also the baking of cakes and making funny treats is something I always help neighbours and friends out with pleasure. My kitchen is often turned into a real bakery! Every everning I take a nice walk together with my boyfriend through the city center or the neighborhood where we live. Or we enjoy a lovely everning of swimming to relax instead. I also can be found a lot in the pub to play darts. Playing darts is something I do with a lot of pleasure and is also my way of staying in touch with other people. If my stump doesn't allow me to have an active day I sit comfortable in my chair with a good book or with a piece of embroidery.
When they approached me to join D-Moddels I was very surprised and curious as well. Doing a photo shoot seemed very nice to me so I decided to do a test shoot. This turned out very well so I gave it a go and now I'm very happy that I can participate as a model. Just because I and the other models are different from others it is very nice and cool that we show ourselves like we are! We don't need to be ashamed of being different, we are beautiful as we are!
I hope you will like my photo's. My intention is to do much more photoshoots so I can show myself in a lot of different settings, with an without my prosthetic leg. I also hope that I can be an inspiration for other people with an amputation or other disabiltity. If you have a question for me or a suggestions for one of my next shoots feel free to send me an email!

Decline of Britain since 1973
EEC & EU as 'soft-fascist' German cartel
Tony Gosling, Pippa Jones
Talk Radio Europe - 26Feb16
No single market
We are meant to be operating under the bloc's Single Market mechanism as an EU member.
The EU describes it as "one territory without any internal borders or other regulatory obstacles to the free movement of goods and services." It's basically meant to stimulate competition and trade, improve efficiency, and helps cut prices.
We are meant to operate as one. Basically, it only works if all countries are identical and work as a hive, like the Borg in Star Trek. That sounds like a Utopian ideal, and it has not worked at all.
At the beginning of September, my colleague Oscar Williams-Grut pointed out that the so-called Single Market has a massive problem – Germany.
German manufacturing is a booming behemoth, while almost every other nation bar Greece is at some sort of low. Britain's manufacturing sector is not he same as it was back in 1950s, and we now depend a lot on imports and exports (I will come to this later).
At the mercy of Germany
Concerns over the Single Market being a whole load of poppycock are more relevant than ever, especially since the eurozone debt crisis of 2009.
First and foremost, even though we are meant to be part of one big unit, we have no fiscal union to address underperforming areas.
In Britain, for example, London may generate greater amounts of wealth than certain regions in the country. If somewhere like Nottingham was struggling, the money is redistributed to pay for welfare or prop up the local economy. Infrastructure, like new railway lines, could be installed to link cities and create greater connection for people working or looking to expand business.
In the EU, we don't have this. Just look at Greece and the sorry mess it is. Sure, we lend money and force them to gut their country from the inside out, but a loan is not a re-distribution of wealth. Countries that need to devalue their currency to spur exports can't. The bloc is not a "single" anything.
Destroying national sovereignty
Relinquishing national sovereignty sounds a lot like right-wing hooey, but having a look at how the EU has operated in the worst of times hasn't resolved any of these concerns.
Sovereignty is meant to be when a state has the absolute power to govern itself, make, execute, and apply laws, and impose and collect taxes.
Of course, being part of a union means we should all technically share that burden and have a say in what laws are enacted, while also making sure others aren't penalised to the advantage of other nations. It shouldn't be all bad.
Take a look at Greece again. The country has teetered on the brink of collapse so many times, it might as well jump off the cliff. But it can't because it's stuck with loans it doesn't want, that seem near impossible for it to pay back.
The one time it did show some semblance of sovereignty or power was at its referendum on the bailout. The public voted against the extremely harsh (and arguably necessary) conditions in exchange for emergency cash. And we all know how that turned out – an utterly pointless exercise.
Since 2010, the EU has introduced over 3,500 new laws affecting British businesses. "The British Chambers of Commerce has shown that the total cost of EU regulation is £7.6 billion per year,"

Singing at home
Tempo and tuning
2 Comments on Tempo and tuning
We had about 20 singers show up tonight, more than I would have expected for the day after Christmas. Although some of our regular singers were missing, we had visiting singers from Connecticut and Virginia, and even one or two new singers.
During the first half of the singing, the class kept slowing the tempo down. I'm not quite sure what was going on: I could see that singers were watching the leader, lots of people on the front bench were beating time in synch with the leader, but the class as a whole just kept … slowing … down. On top of that, the class wasn't staying in tune with itself. This could have been a problem for me, since I'm a singer who's too easily led astray, but I figured out that the altos were keeping right to the pitch, so I just sang in tune with them.
Tempo and tuning problems got to the point where I decided to say something when my turn to lead came round again. I'm reluctant to say anything to a class; yes, I've led a small church choir, but I am most assuredly not a particularly good Sacred Harp singer, let alone someone who could qualify as a singing master. But in this case, it seemed to me that this was a very simple issue: we were not listening to the singers around us as much as we usually do, and by not listening as carefully as usual, we as a class were causing tempi to drag and intonation to waver. So in spite of my misgivings, I said something.
The class did get better after I said something. But I'm not convinced that I had much to do with the improvement. I spoke just after break, and sometimes elevated blood sugar is all it takes to improve singing. Then too, David and Susan showed up at break, and David and Susan are singers who can improve the class by their simple presence. Or it may have been the addition of David's strong male voice to Rebecca's strong female voice on the tenor front bench which made the difference. In any case, the singing markedly improved after the break; some minor intonation problems persisted, but we had no more problems with tempo.
I've always been fascinated with the socio-musical dynamics of group singing. Anyone who has sung in a choir knows that sometimes the choir sounds great, and sometimes for no apparent reason it doesn't sound great. With a choir, it's easy to blame poor performance on, or give credit for good performance to, the choir director. But a Sacred Harp singing has no choir director, and with no choir director you can see how other factors serve to affect performance. Obviously, some of those factors are musical (one good singer in a section can carry that whole section; etc.). But equally important, I think, are the social factors: I've known personality conflicts on the tenor front bench to upset an entire singing; on the other hand, the mere arrival of a beloved singer can move a Sacred Harp class from the mundane to the transcendent.

haruspexsays:
You're so on the mark about the delicate balance of personal and musical factors that can affect so seemingly sturdy a structure as a Sacred Harp singing. And yet, in my experience, you can go away saying, "Well, that was a good time," even if it was out of tune or there was dissension among the tenors.
Tuning problems are sticky because those causing them generally don't know it, while those affected by them generally can't mention it.
J.says:
I've noticed that troubles in tempo often lead to problems tuning – because we're not singing together, lots of discords happen, which cause us to slide further out of tune.
I also think that the solution to both problems, at a Sacred Harp singing, can be found in observing accent. Since newer singers (here defined as anyone who has been singing less than their whole lives) often have trouble staying out of their books, it's important to have another way to stay together. Accent provides a clear pulse and reinforces the rhythm – like everything in a Sacred Harp singing, it's a deeply practical element of the tradition, and classes that sing with strong accent don't typically lose or gain time.

The Misrepresentation of America
Posted on April 9, 1767 April 25, 2013 Author Benjamin FranklinPosted in 2. 1768 - 1769, Benjamin Franklin, London Chronicle, Revolutionary America, The Writings of Benjamin Franklin, Vol III: London
To the PRINTER of the LONDON CHRONICLE.
SIR, As the bare letter of a Governor of one of our provinces, accusing his People of rebellious intentions, is by many here thought sufficient ground for inflicting penalties on such province, unheard, without farther evidence, and without knowing what it may have to say in its justification: I wish you would give the Public the following Extract of a Letter, in which, Accusations of the Colonies from Officers of Government residing there, are set in a light very different from that they have usually been considered in. — It was written here at the time of our last year's disputes, by one who had lived long in America, knew the people and their affairs extremely well — and was equally well acquainted with the temper and practices of government officers. Speaking of the opinion entertained in Britain of the Americans, he says,
"Much has been said of a virtual representation, which the colonies are supposed to have here. Of that I understand nothing. But I know what kind of actual representation, or rather misrepresentation, is continually made of them, by those from whom ministers chiefly have their information. Governors and other officers of the crown, even the little officers of the revenue sent from hence, have all at times some account to give of their own loyal and faithful conduct, with which they mix some contrary character of the people that tends to place that conduct in a more advantageous light. Every good thing done there in the assemblies, for promoting his Majesty's service, was obtained by the Governor's influence: He proposed, he urged strongly, he managed parties; — there was a great opposition; — the assembly were refractory and disaffected; — but his zeal and dexterity overcame all difficulties. And if thro' his own imprudence, or real want of capacity, any thing goes wrong; he is never in fault; the assembly and the people are to bear all the blame; — they are factious, they are turbulent, disloyal, impatient of government, disrespectful to his Majesty's Representative. — Then the Custom-house Officer represents the people as all inclined to smuggling. Dutch and French goods (by his account) swarm in the country; nothing else would be used if it were not for his extream vigilance; which, indeed, as it takes up all his time, he hopes will be considered in the allowance of a larger salary. — Even the Missionary Clergy, to whom all credit is due, cannot forbear acquainting the Bishops, and their other superiors here from whom they receive their stipends, that they are indeed very diligent in their respective missions; but that they meet with great difficulties from the adverse disposition of the people: — Quakers oppose them in one place, Presbyterians in another: — this country swarms with thwarting hereticks; t'other with malevolent sectaries: — Infidelity gains ground here, Popery is countenanced there. Their unwearied endeavours, which are never wanting, scarce suffice to prevent the colonists being overwhelmed with vice, irreligion, ignorance, and error! — Then the Military Officer, who has served in the colonies, represents them as abounding in wealth; the profuse tables they used to spread for him in their hospitable entertainments convinced him of it; for these he saw daily when he din'd from house to house, and therefore he had reason to imagine it was their common way of living; (though in truth that was extreamly different and much more suitable to their circumstances.) But, opulent as he supposes them, they must, in his opinion, be the meanest of mortals to grudge the payment of a trifling tax, especially as it is to maintain soldiers. Thus REPRESENTED, how can it be otherwise, but that the governing people in Britain should conceive the most unfavourable idea of Americans, as unworthy the name of Englishmen, and fit only to be snubb'd, curb'd, shackled and plundered."
This seems a very natural, and I believe is a very true account of the matter. I am, Sir, yours, &c. F. B.

Topic of the Week: Sweating the Small Stuff: Avoiding Job Hunting Mistakes
List of the Week: from
Topic of the Week Sweating the Small Stuff: Avoiding Job Hunting Mistakes
Be early for interview.
Dress up.
Do homework on company.
Unless you like getting doors slammed in your face, it's often difficult to find work in today's sputtering economy. The good news is that most experts believe that there are more jobs available right now than since the beginning of the recession. The bad news? Far too many job seekers blow the opportunity by making dumb mistakes. Which reminds me of Mitch Faber who was arrested in Burnsville, MN. His crime? He failed to finish the re-siding project on his house. Yep, he was arrested, had to pay bail and was fitted for an electronic tracking bracelet over siding on his home. He thought he could be fined, but never imagined the lengths that authorities would go.
Mr. Faber discovered that the little things can get you in big trouble. It's no different in a job hunt. Two recent studies by Pace University and York College of hiring managers found the top four mistakes that young job hunters made that prevents them from being hired. But the lessons apply to all of us. The top four were: relying too much on job boards, 55%. Not dressing properly for the interview, 39%. Being late for the interview, 29%. And not preparing for the interview, 25%. Imagine that, one quarter of job seekers didn't take the time before the interview to figure out what the company did. Here are four strategies to improve your odds of getting hired.
Network. Job boards should be a part of every job search. But every study that I've seen says that for every person who gets a job through a job board, many more get hired through their personal contacts. Two great, and often overlooked, resources, college alumni offices and former coworkers.Networking remains the best way to find a job.
Dress up. Go to the location of the interview a few days before to watch how people dress and interact. Then on the day of your interview dress one notch above. For example, if they're in T-shirts, wear a dress shirt or nice blouse. Sure it's a bit of extra work, but it is a step that should give you an advantage over almost 40% of your competition.
Be early for interview. Not only is it rude to be late, often interviews are scheduled back-to-back-to-back, so if you're late you can through off the entire day for the interviewer. Plus when you arrive early it allows you to get a sense of the place and how formal, or informal, it is.
Do homework on company. Everyone should know by now to check out their website. But go deeper. Research the company in the business press and, if possible, visit one of their locations. Caring enough to prepare in advance will make you a lot more comfortable in the interview and tell them a lot about your character.
You know the phrase, "don't sweat the small stuff"? It applies great in life, but when it comes to job interviews, the little stuff often has a huge impact on getting hired.

Work and employment play a central role in most people's lives. In OECD countries, for example, people spend around a third of their waking hours engaged in paid work. We not only spend considerable amounts of our time at work, employment and workplace quality also rank among the most important drivers of happiness. This chapter presents our research on the ways in which work and workplace quality influence people's well-being around the world. It also highlights a number of best practices that may inspire policy-makers and business leaders in putting well-being at the heart of their policies.

Passionate Arabia
Life Refined
Sharjah – one of the world's five most creative cities?
Jul 24, 2019 | Culture
Undoubtedly the region's most creative city, the BBC's Libby Banks has gone one step (well, one huge leap) further and touted Sharjah as one of the world's most creative cities. Do you agree with her reasoning?
To be fair, Ms. Banks has clearly taken a sideways and even contrarian view of which may or may not be the world's most creative cities. Also on her list are Mexico City, Belgrade, Dakar, and Bangkok. Surprised? Perhaps you shouldn't be.
She states, "the international art map is changing, and a new generation of cultural hubs is emerging, well away from global financial centres, property developers and blue-chip art dealers. While a trust fund feels like a prerequisite for making it as an artist in the likes of London, New York and Paris today, this new generation of art cities exists well beyond the canon of Western art history".
All well-and-good for Sharjah then, whose rise to the top has been largely fueled by the success of its now globally significant biennial – a growth inspired by Sheikha Hoor Al Qasimi, a Slade-trained artist and curator, and youngest daughter of the ruler of Sharjah, His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, she took over the biennial 16 years ago.
Is it doing enough to replace Abu Dhabi and Dubai as the world's global focus for arts and culture in the region? To us – yes. At least in curation skills, integrity, and by consistently maintaining the highest standards of art in the Middle East.

Watch Nile Rodgers' Justifiably Boastful Rock Hall of Fame Speech
"I've sold over 300 million albums and 75 million singles," Chic mastermind says. "I just wanted to have one hit record"

Nile Rodgers and his disco group Chic have been on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ballot 11 times. While both Rodgers and Chic have yet to be officially inducted, the guitarist is being honored at this year's ceremony with Award for Musical Excellence, which is not selected by the voters. Pharrell Williams presented him with the prestigious honor.
Back in December, Rodgers felt "bittersweet" about being presented with the award separate from Chic and not as an official Rock Hall inductee. "I'm a little perplexed because even though I'm quite flattered that they believed that I was worthy, my band Chic didn't win," he told Rolling Stone. "The only reason why I met Bowie and Madonna and Duran Duran and INXS is because they all loved Chic."
Read Rodgers' full speech at Brooklyn's Barclays Center below.
So I'm a New Yorker. I was born not very far away from where we're standing now. It's funny, I was saying to Pharrell almost everybody on this stage, as a matter of fact almost everybody who's been in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, I've worked with. [Applause]
I started out; I was just a little kid on the side of my bed just playing guitar hoping to get one hit record. Yo, it's 3 billion dollars now. [Applause] Yeah, they just told me a couple of months ago that I've sold over 300 million albums and 75 million singles. I just wanted to have one hit record.

My life has been so amazing. When I met this gentleman named Bernard Edwards, a bass player who started out as a guitar player who had this interesting style of playing and he told me about chucking and he just said, "Man, you need to change your shit up. You got all this jazz knowledge but if you learn how to play this thing, we could change music." I didn't believe him until this young kid plugged into my amp that was our opening act and he sounded 10 times better than me but I knew that harmonically I had more knowledge than he did.
All of a sudden, I said OK, cool. I went and I traded my guitar, my expensive big, fat jazz guitar for this little Fender Stratocaster that was like a hundred and seventy-something bucks and it was ugly because I hate solid body sunburst guitars. So, I adored Hendrix; so I went home and I painted it white myself. That same white paint job is the same paint job I did 40 years ago when we were the opening act for the Jackson 5.
From that journey from just being a backup guy I have [pauses; applause] When people work with me, they think that I'm the boss. But believe me, every record I do I join the band. I try and make every artist believe that all I have is their best interest at heart. I remember saying to Madonna, when we finish this record it's going to say MADONNA [whispers] produced by Nile Rodgers. My name doesn't mean shit; it's going to be this big.
This award, which is amazing to me, is really because of all the people that have allowed me to come into their lives and just join their band. Be it Mick Jagger, be it Madonna, be it Duran Duran, be it Daft Punk, be it Pharrell Williams, be it Diana Ross, be it Sister Sledge. I mean it just goes on and on and on. Thank you all.

swan, common name for a large aquatic bird of both hemispheres, related to ducks and geese. It has a long, gracefully curved neck and an extremely long, convoluted trachea which makes possible its far-carrying calls. The orange-billed white trumpeter swan, Cygnus buccinator, seen in parks, is the mute swan, of Old World origin. It breeds in the wild state in parts of Europe, Asia, and the United States. During the breeding season it has a trumpetlike note, softer in the tame birds. The whistling swan migrates from the arctic to Mexico. Conservation measures saved the almost extinct trumpeter swan of North America, the largest species. Wild species in Europe include the whooper (or whooping) and the Bewick swans. The black swan, Chenopis atrata, is native to Australia, and the black-necked swan, Cygnus melancoriphus, to South America. The black swan has been domesticated. Swans are classified in the phylum Chordata , subphylum Vertebrata, class Aves, order Anseriformes, family Anatidae.

Lauterbrunnen is set in a dramatic valley of 72 waterfalls, one of Switzerland's largest nature conservation areas. The peaceful village is ideal for families or those wanting a quieter holiday and the sheer cliff faces surrounding the valley with their frozen waterfalls make for some incredible views.

Lauterbrunnen is another great option for those wanting a quieter base with easy access to the Jungfrau region as the train whisks you up to Wengen in less than 20 minutes. Located midway between Wengen andMurren, it is possible to ski back down the Murren side to Lauterbrunnen if there has been enough snow.
With perfectly groomed pistes and plenty of snow making facilities across 47% of the slopes skiing is guaranteed throughout the winter season with 38 snow cannons contributing the swiss natural snowfall.
With just a couple of bars and a handful of restaurants, this is definitely a resort for those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the larger resorts. Interlaken can be reached by train from the resort, making a great option for a daytrip.
There are plenty of cross-country ski tracks in the valley as well as a good variety of winter hiking trails.
Other activities include:
Ice-skating
Snow-shoeing
The nearest international airport to Lauterbrunnen is Bern (BRN) which is located 62 km away just a short bus or car transfer journey away.
Lauterbrunnen Reviews
Lauterbrunnen is not a ski village, but it's in a very convenient position to get to Murren, Wengen and Grindelwald, so you have a choice of three, instead of just one. I've been about 10 times and always stay in the Hotel Silberhorn. The rooms are good and there's a buffet breakfast and a 5 course dinner. There is also a good ski room with boot heaters. It's cheaper than France and everyone speaks English. Leave the hotel, walk 200m and you're in the mountain railway station or the cablecar station for Murren. All villages are joined by mountain railways which are covered in the lift pass, as is the train to Interlaken (8 miles) for retail therapy. The scenery is the best in Europe. All the villages have their own websites, so do a search and look at the photos. Suitable for families and older folks, if you want lively bars and clubs, forget it. See the Eiger, Jungfrau, Munch and fabulous views from the top of the Schilthorn revolving restaurant. None of it is 'purpose made', all villages are traditional, so the pistes are not like Tignes, they are natural too. You will not be disappointed! We went somewhere different every trip until we went here in 2000, and we haven't been anywhere else since.

Hammer Smoothing Groups Dialog
The Smoothing Groups dialog allows you to match sets of faces that will be lit as one smooth surface when compiled.

About Smoothing Groups
The Source Engine can add smoother lighting to faces so the surfaces appear as one continuous surface. Smoothing Groups are sets of these faces that are defined to render smooth with one another.
To be smoothed correctly, faces must meet these restrictions:
Must share a common edge.
Lightmaps of the faces must be aligned to one another.
The lightmap scale must be small enough that at least one lightmap luxel is small enough to fit on each face.
Must be in the same Smoothing Group (or meet at a less than 45 degree angle).
These are the Smooth Groups that the current face(s) are a member of. To add a face to a Smoothing Group, select the face, then depress the numbered button of a Smoothing Group. A face can be in multiple Smoothing Groups.
Note:Manually selected smoothing groups will override those generated automatically by the compiler and separate the group from other faces.
Use these to pick a group of faces that will never be smoothed. Hard Groups are selected just like Smoothing Groups. For example, this can be used to make sure a ramp does not get smoothed with either of the floors it connects.
Note:Every face that belongs to a hard group will be separated from every other face in the group. To separate groups of faces from each other (for example, two flat walls that meet at a 45 degree corner and are composed of multiple brushes each), use smoothing groups instead.
