Changing means adapting
Sara Banti
In her book devoted to the traditional architecture of different climate zones the architect and researcher Sandra Piesik asserts the need for a new holistic and multidisciplinary approach that is able to integrate the advantages of modernity with the solutions developed by humanity over millennia. Only in this way can we meet the challenges posed by nature
The most incisive words on the importance of sticking to the commitments made with regard to climate change were pronounced by Ban Ki-moon: "There is no Plan B because there is no planet B." The former secretary-general of the United Nations was referring – as Plan A – to the agreement reached at the conference on climate change held in 2015, aimed at altering the course which is taking us rapidly into the depths of the Anthropocene, the epoch marked by the negative impact of humanity on nature. In Paris the 195 countries present at the meeting drew up a road map that as well as imposing restrictions on the release of CO2 and encouraging the shift to alternative sources of energy, again proposed adapting indigenous building methods, a real treasure house of discoveries and inventions made over thousands of years of human history, to today's needs.

The architect Sandra Piesik has examined and analysed this precious heritage in a beautiful book, published last October by Thames & Hudson and realized with the collaboration of more than a hundred experts from all over the world, not just climatologists but also architects, anthropologists, botanists, ethnologists and engineers. "Despite all our technological advances, at the heart of the socio-economic 'DNA' of the city is the climate, and the resources available within it," explains Piesik. "The influence of climate and resources is particularly apparent in the compact designs of desert cities. These are located not 'in the middle of nowhere', as might be thought at first sight, but adjacent to water sources, oases and trading routes. Historically, such cities have been exemplars of social and religious cohesion that evolved over time in an organic and sustainable way."

In reality the architect's fascination with the desert habitat stems from her own experience. Polish by birth but a Londoner by adoption, Piesik used to work for an international studio that sent her to Dubai to supervise the construction of one of the city's many skyscrapers. But she was drawn more to anthropology and to local construction techniques and began her own exploration of them, developing a particular interest in the way the Bedouin used palm leaves to build light and very sturdy huts in a short space of time. "Everyone talks about a 'change of paradigm'. I really changed mine. I abandoned skyscrapers and stayed in Dubai for seven years to study structures made from the leaves of date palms and their possible evolution. While the maximum width of the Bedouin huts was approximately two metres, with my experiments I succeeded in creating spaces of 500 square meters."

Out of this experience came her first book, Arish: Palm-Leaf Architecture (Thames & Hudson, 2012). The second, just brought out by the same publisher, is called Habitat: Vernacular Architecture for a Changing Planet. Here the author has taken the Köppen-Geiger climate classification system, which divides the planet up into five climate zones (tropical, dry, temperate, continental and finally polar and alpine), and brought together images of vernacular buildings from each zone. The results are certainly not revolutionary but become highly significant in the context of research extended to cover the entire planet. We discover for example that in earthquake-prone zones there are wooden buildings and structures made of earth that have stood for centuries; that in countries at the antipodes to one another but situated in the same climatic zone a very similar architecture is constructed out of the same kind of plants; that all societies in arid areas build with earth, straw and palm leaves.

Wood, stone and brick, the materials of the temperate zone, have given rise to architectural styles – typically the European ones – that have ended up unduly "colonizing" many other parts of the planet. "Globalization and modernism have at times brought with them alien and non-climate-specific typologies that expelled originality and, above all, the use of local, natural materials," argues the author. "'Copy and paste' western solutions are, in many cases, out of context and overscaled. Countries need to establish a new paradigm for the expansion of their built environment, based on a sensitive use of local resources as well as meeting modern needs and aspirations."
The key word for the future, concludes Piesik, is "adaption". "If we do not want to be struck by the most devastating effects of climate change, we have to take a holistic approach that integrates the benefits of modernity with the solutions developed by humanity over millennia. And to do this, more multidisciplinarity and interaction between the different bodies of knowledge are needed."

Q: How to successfully install itunes on ubuntu 12.04? I have been attempting to install itunes via Playon Linux. It installed... sort of...
I can open and view itunes, but do get the message itunes was not properly installed and on package manager it says the following:
E: Type '<!DOCTYPE' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/playonlinux.list
E: The list of sources could not be read.
Go to the repository dialogue to correct the problem.
E: _cache->open() failed, please report.

It also does not see my iphone when connecting it to the pc.
Can anybody help?

A: Sadly iTunes is very proprietary and tends to break with each update after you've just managed to get it to play nicely with Wine or PlayOnLinux. Until they bring out a native Linux version, you're just going to be hurting all the time.
Give some serious consideration to dumping iTunes for music and install Google Music to listen to and buy from instead. You can copy all your existing iTunes music into your Google Account and then stream/copy it to your iPhone via the Google Music app.

Tinashe Talks 'Aquarius,' Dating, & Family on 'The Breakfast Club'
Tinashe celebrated her album release with a visit to Power 105.1's "The Breakfast Club" on Tuesday. The "2 On" singer sat down with Angela Yee and Charlamagne to explain the origin of her name (African for "We are with God") and the definition of "2 On."
"'2 On' is basically being a little too buzzed, a little bit too faded," she said. "But in a good way, not to the point where you're like passed out. You're just turnt up."
The 21-year-old got her start at the age of three doing TV and commercials (She appeared on "Two and a Half Men" with Charlie Sheen at 15) and started pursuing music at 14 as part of the girl group The Stunners. She went solo at 18 and put out three mixtapes before signing to RCA Records.
Her debut Aquarius has been receiving rave reviews, but she doesn't feel "2 On" is necessarily an accurate representation of the album. "My music as a whole, there's a lot more depth to it, there's just a lot more sophistication musically than '2 On' maybe represents."
She grew up in La Crescenta, Calif. with her two younger brothers, Thulani and Kudzai. Her parents (her father is from Zimbabwe and her mother is from Iowa) emotionally and financially supported her while she pursued her career.
She revealed that she is single ("[Dating is] not my priority right now"), but she looks for loyalty, honesty, and respect in a man.
Get to know Tinashe a little better and watch her appearance on "106 & Park" below.

INFINITE's Sunggyu Musical "Kinky Boots" Could Face Challenges Due To Coronavirus Suspicions Of A Cast Member
Will the show go on?
In June 2020, it was announced that Infinite's Sunggyu had been casted in the upcoming musical, Kinky Boots. The musical is a highly popular one in South Korea, with 2020's being its fourth run after previous successes with the third run in 2018 having sold 92% of available seats over 73 shows.
However, it seems that this year may not be a lucky one for them, as the musical is facing casting changes and issues before its run. The original lineup as announced included musical actors Lee Seok Hoon, Park Eun Tae, Choi Jae Rim, Kang Hong Seok, Kim Ji Woo, Kim Hwan Hee, Go Chang Suk and Shim Jae Hyun as well as Sunggyu as a double-cast for the main role of Charlie Price.
However, on the 7th of July, posts on an online community began to surface, voicing their concerns for both the progression of Kinky Boots as well as Sunggyu's health. As this is his first musical work after his discharge from the military, many fans are anticipating it highly.
The issue arose when musical-goers received text messages from organizers that informed them of casting changes for other musicals. The casting for the role of Collin in Rent was changed at the last minute on the day of the show itself, as it stated that actor Choi Jae Rim received news that someone related to practices for his next theatrical work had gone for self-voluntary testing for the coronavirus. Fans speculated that this next work in question was Kinky Boots.
These suspicions were further confirmed as actor Park Eun Tae's casting for a showing of Mozart was changed as well due to similar reasons.
Threads started to unravel as fans confirmed that many actors under the cast of Kinky Boots were forced to be swapped out of their current shows including Kim Hwan Hee, Choi Jae Rim and Park Eun Tae. However, it does not mean that they have contracted the virus. As one of the members of the cast or crew was discovered to have a slight fever during a practice for Kinky Boots, until the results come out, the rest of the cast is forced to stay alert and cautious as a preventive measure.
Sunggyu in his role in 2014's "Vampire Musical".
Kinky Boots is slated to show on the 21st of August all the way up to the 2nd of November 2020. As the show is fast approaching, fans are getting antsy about the situation as well as for Sunggyu's health.

2009-08-27 Developers Conference Call - Resources - OpenMRS Wiki for your Wiki!
Saptarshi has added image capture and other features to his GSoC Registration Module.
TODO: Saptarshi to upload Registration Module to a lab.
Billing Module: Other groups are interested as well.
TODO: Saptarshi ask other implementers on implementers mailing list regarding financial module.
HtmlFormentry would be good... possibly enhance HtmlFormentry to work for OPD module.
Prompt or label on html form that includes tokens to work with logic service.
TODO: Saptarshi describe OPD requirements to dev mailing list so we could maybe build these features into HtmlFormentry.
Darius said: Reporting work will have a lot to show a week before Implementers meeting.
Darius said: DHIS export list of indicators as IXF and load into OpenMRS, linking indicators to calculation in OpenMRS and in OpenMRS prepare export to push to DHIS.
Jeff Rafter said: Baobab is working on an In-Patient Module.
TODO: Jeff will upload screenshots of In-Patient module.
TODO: Jeff will write to labs.openmrs.org and request what he needs for a lab.
Sync is running in module now.
Will fix a few bugs and move other things to module.
Jeff is willing to help on sync.
Darius mentioned that neither Java or Hibernate support multiple inheritence... hence you cannot have a user and a patient being the same person and be true to the programming language.
Roles would be collections of the underlying person.
Patient and User are roles of a person. We shouldn't need Hibernate magic to make that happen.
Add person_id attribute to both User and Patient could solve the problem.
Hence a proper foreign-key relationship as opposed to assuming person_id=patient_id=user_id.
Add person_id on User and Patient.
We want to stay out of too many Human Resource peices. Maybe that is where we could integrate with HRIS.
We need to localize columns like encounter_type.name.
Mike proposes that we put it all in the name column like: "en=Initial Visit;es=Initio Visita"
EncounterType.getName() could call private EncounterType.getLocalizedName(Context.getLocale()) to keep things how they are now.

Amarinder Singh demands Rs 4,100cr GST compensation from Centre
Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Sunday has demanded to expedite the release of Rs 4,100 crore of GST compensation to the state and sought the intervention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman in the matter.
"Shocking that the Centre is delaying the GST compensation amounting to ?4100 crore as compensation & arrears to Punjab. Urge PM @narendramodi ji & FM @nsitharaman ji to intervene & solve the problem which has the potential to bring governance of the state to a grinding halt," Singh tweeted.

His remarks come days after Punjab Finance Minister Manpreet Singh Badal, along with the finance ministers of West Bengal, Kerala, Delhi and Rajasthan, had appealed to the Union Finance Minister to release the GST compensation without any delay. On November 20, Badal had attended the meeting of the Empowered Committee of state finance ministers at New Delhi.
In a joint statement, they had said, "GST compensation for the month of August and September, required to be paid by the central government, sometimes in October, continues to be outstanding till date."

Robert Helenius & Dereck Chisora to meet in rematch May 27, six years after first fight
Credit: Photo Wende
Robert Helenius (24-1, 15 KOs) and Dereck Chisora (26-7, 18 KOs) are set for a huge heavyweight rematch on May 27 at the Hartwall Arena in Helsinki, Finland.
There is a lot of the line for both men, in what promises to be the biggest fight on Finnish soil in recent history, with both the WBC Silver World Heavyweight title and a shot at the current WBC World Champion Deontay Wilder up for grabs.
Helenius holds a controversial split decision win over Chisora from their all action showdown in December 2011, which many believed the British boxer did enough to win. However, the Finnish fighter says this time the decision will be left in no doubt.
''Chisora is a good fighter and I'm expecting a tough fight, but I'm very confident I will win,'' said the 33 year-old. ''Before our first match, I injured my right shoulder and had to fight for twelve-rounds with just one arm. If I was able to beat him with one arm, I don't see any problems beating him when I have two.
''I am in great shape now, and I feel stronger than ever. It's been a long road back since my shoulder operation, and I've been waiting a long time for an opportunity like this. I believe I am ready, and after I beat Chisora, I will be in a good position to challenge for the World title.''
''I'm looking forward to going back to Helsinki and putting on another great show for the fans,'' said Chisora. ''It's a beautiful city with a lot of beautiful people. We had a lot of fun last time, and everyone knows who really won that fight. He can make all the excuses he wants, but that won't help him on May 27.
''I feel like this is my time, I'm in my prime, and I can't wait. I might be relaxed now, but when I leave London, I'm going to war. When I get on that flight I become a different person. Mr. Nice Guy is gone. It brings the vicious side out in me, and he'd better be ready!''
''We're delighted to be bringing this huge heavyweight attraction to Helsinki,'' said promoter Nisse Sauerland. ''The first fight between Robert and Dereck was something special, and this promises to be even better. They've got unfinished business, and on May 27, they've finally got the chance to settle the score.''

Pressemitteilung zur Publikation "On the black hole species (by means of natural selection)"
Research of this Minerva Research Group focuses on theoretical aspect of black holes and the astonishing effects they have in the surrounding space-time.
Black holes are among the most fascinating objects in the Universe. These magnificently dense spherical conglomerates of rotating matter, exhibiting strong gravitational effects, are thought to be entailed with event horizons – special regions of space-time from which not even light can escape. Data from a vast number of astrophysical experiments will provide solid evidence (images) of event horizons and hence confirmation that black holes exist. Once thought to be mere static pockets of matter, we now know that black holes lurk at the center of every Galaxy, including the Milky Way, and spin producing the most bewildering effects such as matter accretion and large scale jets. Fully elucidating the mechanisms driving these effects is one of the aims of the group.
Four-dimensional General Relativity leaves room only for spherical event horizon black holes. In more than four space-time dimensions, however, new striking possibilities open up. Besides the spherical configurations, there are non-spherical event horizon topologies and multi-black hole solutions. Higher-dimensional black holes thus have a much richer and still not fully understood phase structure than their four-dimensional counterparts. Recently, in an ambitious effort to elucidate the entire population of black hole configurations many explicit solutions have been unveiled. In spite of the remarkable progress, key explicit examples of conjectured black holes are still missing. Finding these elusive black hole solutions of Einstein's Theory, is one of the other research lines of the group.

Q: In the trigonometric identity $\cos(\frac{\pi}{2} -\theta)$, why are we reflecting the graph in vertical axis. I was wondering why do we need to reflect the graph in vertical axis in the trigonometric identity:

$\cos(\frac{\pi}{2} -\theta) = \sin(\theta)$.

It seems that if we only translate the graph of $\cos(\theta)$ by $\frac{\pi}{2}$ it would take the same values as the graph of $\sin(\theta)$, so why do we reflect the graph by changing sign of $\theta$ to negative.

A: Hint:$$\cos(-x)=\cos(x)$$Cosine is even and that is one of the properties of an even function.
Note that $$\cos(\frac{\pi}2+\theta)\ne\sin(\theta)$$

A: It isn't that $\cos(\theta - \pi/2) = \sin(\theta)$ is more correct or less correct than $\cos(\pi/2 - \theta) = \sin(\theta)$: both are true.  However, the second one also expresses the familiar concept of "complementary angles": in any right triangle, the sine of one of the two (non-right) angles is always equal to the cosine of the other angle.  This follows from elementary opposite/adjacent/hypotenuse considerations, and thus makes it a more natural way to remember the identity.
Because of this naturality, the principle also generalizes much more readily than a simple shift would:
$$\cos(\pi/2 - \theta) = \sin(\theta)$$
$$\sin(\pi/2 - \theta) = \cos(\theta)$$
$$\cot(\pi/2 - \theta) = \tan(\theta)$$
$$\tan(\pi/2 - \theta) = \cot(\theta)$$
$$\csc(\pi/2 - \theta) = \sec(\theta)$$
$$\sec(\pi/2 - \theta) = \csc(\theta)$$
If you tried to express these in terms of $\theta \pm \pi/2$ you'd have to fiddle with the signs in each case to get it right.


Do you ever get bored with your decor? I am always looking for easy and inexpensive ways to change up the look of my apartment without breaking the bank! I'm giving you my three go to's when it comes to changing up the look of my home.
First way to change up your space is with new artwork! This is super easy as there are tons of sites now that offer inexpensive art prints and posters that you can frame with different and unique frames to give the look dimension. Other fun things can be used to display such as maps of cities you love or even your own photography printed in a fun way! These things will make your space different and unique and how easy is it to just change out photos and prints?! Some of my favorite sites are Society6 for artprints, Modern Map Art for maps, and Parabo Press & Nations Photo Lab for prints of your own work!
Another great way to change up your surroundings is by changing your throw pillows, whether it be on your bed or on the couch, changing the pillows can make a big difference. Changing out your throw pillows doesn't have to cost you much either. Several places including Target and Ikea offer inexpensive pillow covers, making it easy to change out your look by simply changing out the pillow cover, without buying tons of different pillows.
One more thing to change your space is change your accessories. This could be putting a cute stack of books on the coffee table our a cute vase of flowers on the kitchen table. Something simple can make all the difference, making your space different and inviting. Add fun touches that speak to your personality! I love tropical prints and pineapples right now so I might add elements like that in my home. Express your personality with this one! I love going to TJ Maxx, Home Goods, and Marshall's for things like this!
Let me know your favorite ways to change up the look of your home in the comments below!
Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! I'm already ready for this weekend and it's only the end of this weekend! Sometimes I feel like I'm living for the weekend, but what can you do, right? So about a week ago I became a Fall Rep for KRZA by Krystle Dawn, I'm already enjoying her products! Krystle makes these fabulous contemporary head bands, that are super comfortable and chic! I love that these pieces give an extra bit of sass to any outfit whether more of a going out look or a laid back one, her pieces step up your style just that much more!

Q: How to connect home computers (Linux) from office computer (windows) using putty Is there any way I can connect home computers (Linux) from office computer (windows) using putty. If yes, please tell me the step to make the connection.

A: An easier way to set your home router to allow incoming connection to your Home PC (running Linux) is to set DMZ to your PC.
So as some people has mentioned (also to recap):

*

*Login to your router at home, and set DMZ to your local PC address (for now we assume your linux PC IP address is 192.168.1.5)

*Install openssh-server on your linux PC, and don't forget to test it (by simply ssh 192.168.1.5 just to test that you can ssh to the openssh-server that you just installed)

*You need to know your WAN IP address (the IP address that is known to the world when you are connecting externally outside your internal network) - For now lets assume this is 8.8.8.8 (Note this is actually google DNS but I am using this for this example)

*Connect from your work (or any other PC connected to the internet) by using PuTTY or SSH to connect to 8.8.8.8 port 22. If you are using PuTTY (from your office) then it should connect and ask for your username/password to login to your linux box.

*Check your Linux Box Firewall and ensure that it allows ssh

A few possible issues:

*

*3 above about your WAN IP. If you have Static IP - then most likely it should just work straight away. But if it doesn't, read through.

*3 above about your WAN IP. Most homes comes with Dynamic IP, this is when you want a service called DDNS (Dynamic DNS) to come into play. DDNS allows you to create a name (mypc.ddns.com or something like that), and your PC will periodically report back to DDNS that you have a new WAN IP.

*Your Linux Box has its own firewall and blocking connection - I'm assuming you know how to change this setting

*Your Router has its own firewall and blocking connection - you can create an exception. But DMZ setting should override that firewall blocking on your router and pass through all unknown connection to your linux PC (or whatever the DMZ is set to).

*Your ISP is blocking incoming port 22 connection. ... this is when you are somewhat stuffed. But there is a workaround. Your router should allow port forwarding. Use a non-common port (make up a number... say 12222 that hopefully not blocked by your ISP), and then set a port forwarding from port 12222 to port 22 - all these are done on your router.

Pretty sure other people can point out some more possible issues, but give it a try for now and see how you go.
Hope this helps.

A: There are three options I am aware of
Port Forwarding
You can set up port forwarding for each device you want to be be able to connect to externally.

*

*This assumes you know your external IP address.

For each device you could assign an arbitrary external port that forwards to that device on port 22. (Or you can do this for one device, and then connect to the others through it)
VPN
Were you to make a VPN with your local network, and then connect to said VPN, it would give you access to everything on on the network.
Reverse SSH
With reverse SSH you make use of an external server, and set up a listening ssh session. Then, on the external server you can connect to the device behind the router without being bothered by firewalls/port forwarding/etc...
This is what I prefer (as I haven't set up a VPN yet), but I have access to an external server.
You could do this with:
Device on home network ssh -f -N -R 1234:localhost:22 remote_user@remote.server.example

*

*Where 1234 is the port that remote would use forward to the device

*remote.server.example is the remote's address

Then, on the remote server ssh -p 1234 -t device_user@localhost

A: Please do be careful about doing this from your work. IT security may not like it. Be very careful that it is within the company policy.
To quote Page 83 of Michael Lucas's SSH Mastery, https://www.tiltedwindmillpress.com/ $9.99

Suppose my desktop is inside a high-security network, however. The
  firewall tightly restricts Web browsing and blocks all file transfers.
  If I can use SSH to connect to a server outside the network, I could
  forward my desktop's traffic to that outside server to get
  unrestricted access to the Internet. I could upload confidential
  documents over SSH, and the firewall logs would show only that I made
  an SSH connection.
Tunnels versus Security Policy
If you're an organization's security officer, port forwarding might
  make you consider entirely blocking SSH. I understand. I've had your
  job. You should also know that a recalcitrant user can tunnel SSH
  inside DNS, HTTP, or almost any other service or protocol. The only
  way to absolutely block SSH is to deny all TCP or UDP connections from
  the inside of your network to the outside world, use a Web proxy that
  intelligently inspects traffic, and not allow your clients access to
  public DNS even through a proxy.

What you are trying is probably possible. Most company firewalls leave port 80 open as well as other ports. At the command prompt in Windows do netstat -n and you'll get a list of internal addresses with open ports e.g.
Active Connections

Proto  Local Address          Foreign Address        State

TCP    10.96.144.75:49242     10.96.144.4:445        ESTABLISHED

Q: Retrieve data from mongodb based on date condition in pymongo My MongoDB document is as follows: -
{
    "_id" : 111,
    "ts" : [
    ISODate("2010-08-21T23:13:35.000Z"),
    ISODate("2011-08-23T09:13:10.000Z"),
    ISODate("2012-08-26T12:55:51.000Z"),
    ISODate("2010-08-29T03:11:12.000Z")
]
}

{
    "_id" : 112,
    "ts" : [
    ISODate("2010-08-21T23:13:35.000Z"),
    ISODate("2011-08-23T09:13:10.000Z"),
    ISODate("2012-08-26T12:55:51.000Z"),
    ISODate("2010-08-29T03:11:12.000Z")
]

}
Each date entry indicates a "hit". I am trying to count the number of hits each id had between a certain date period.
Query looks like :-
db.pgview.aggregate
({$match:{ts:{$elemMatch:{$gte:ISODate("2012-09-01"),$lte:ISODate("2014-09-01")}}}},
 {$unwind:"$ts"},
 {$match:{ts:{$gte:ISODate("2012-09-01"),$lte:ISODate("2014-09-01")}}},
 {$group:{_id:"$_id",count:{$sum:1}}})

This works fine on Mongo Shell. But I am trying to retrieve the same from Python for which I am not getting any values. Python code :-
def __init__(self):

    self.conn = pymongo.MongoClient()["test"]
    self.coll = self.conn.pgview
    self.stDate = datetime.datetime.now()
    self.endDate = datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(days=1000)
    print self.stDate
    print self.endDate

def fetchData(self):
    text = self.coll.aggregate([{"$match":{"ts":{"$elemMatch":{"$gte":self.stDate,"$lte":self.endDate}}}},
                {"$unwind":"$ts"},
                {"$match":{"ts":{"$gte":self.stDate,"$lte":self.endDate}}},
                {"$group":{"_id":"$_id","count":{"$sum":1}}}])
    jsondata = text["result"]
    for each in jsondata:
        try:
            print each
        except Exception, err:
            print traceback.format_exc()

But it does not return any results.
Can anyone please help? Is it because of date format?
UPDATE
I confirmed that the type that is retrieved from mongodb is datetime
The way it is returned if i query without any condition is
{u'_id': 111, u'ts': [datetime.datetime(2010, 8, 21, 23, 13, 35), datetime.datetime(2011, 8, 23, 9, 13, 10), datetime.datetime(2012, 8, 26, 12, 55, 51), datetime.datetime(2010, 8, 29, 3, 11, 12)]}

A: Haven't run your codes. Seems:
self.stDate = datetime.datetime.now()
self.endDate = datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(days=1000)

Should be:
self.stDate = datetime.datetime.now() - datetime.timedelta(days=1000)
self.endDate = datetime.datetime.now()


Are you tired of covering your smile every time you go out with friends and they try to take pictures with you? Does your smile make you feel self-conscious when it should be a tool to help you boost your self-confidence? Thanks to a wonderful cosmetic treatment from your dentist, no longer will you feel the need to cover your smile in embarrassment. From now on, you'll be happy to flash your pearly whites at your next gathering.
Today, we'll be discussing exactly what porcelain veneers in Copperas Cove are and if you can benefit from them.
Porcelain veneers are wafer-thin sheaths designed to bond to the surface of teeth. This cosmetic treatment is incredibly popular among some of the most famous faces in Hollywood but is also very accessible to average working people just like you. You can get a smile that you're proud to show off, not cover in fear of people seeing your imperfections.
Additionally, porcelain is a naturally stain-resistant material, so you won't need to worry as much about foods or beverages staining your teeth while you consume them, at least compared to tooth enamel. Veneers are known to last for many years as long as you take proper care of them like you do your natural teeth.
Keep in mind, in order to place your veneers your dentist in Copperas Cove will need to remove a small amount of tooth enamel so the veneer has enough room to adhere. If you want to save tooth enamel, you may want to consider Lumineers instead.
According to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, caring for your porcelain veneers is hardly any different than caring for your natural teeth. This includes brushing twice a day with a fluoridated toothpaste, flossing daily, and visiting your dentist every six months. This allows them to make sure no issues are appearing with your veneers.
To protect your veneers even more, consider limiting your consumption of foods that are prone to staining, such as coffee, dark teas, or other foods with a dark pigmentation. Consider purchasing a teeth-whitening toothpaste to remove surfaces stains 2 to 3 times a week. Remember, the better you practice your oral care, the longer your veneers will last.
Want to get started planning your smile makeover? Schedule a visit with your dentist today!
Dr. Daniel Caraveo earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the Baylor College of Dentistry. Before that, he worked as a dentist in the U.S. Army and attended St. Mary's University to earn his Bachelor of Science degree.

Breakdown (1997)
Jeffrey Taylor (Kurt Russell) and his wife Amy are driving cross country to California when their car stutters and grinds to a halt at the side of the road. Stranded and with no phone signal, they can't call for a tow truck. As they are trying to figure out what to do a truck comes down the road. The driver, Red (J.T. Walsh) offers to take Amy to the next town so she can call for a tow truck. Amy gets into Red's truck while Jeff waits with the car.
Hours pass and there is still no sign of Amy returning with a tow truck. Jeff becomes worried and manages to get his car working. He drives to the next stop to see if his wife is there. The folks inside the cafe say that there was no woman fitting the description of Amy that passed through. Jeff goes to the police to report his wife missing. Later on when Jeff is driving he sees Red's truck. He gets Red to pull over. Only when Jeff asks Red where Amy is, Red claims he has never met Jeff before in his life. Jeff leaves puzzled. He is then contacted and told that if he ever wants to see his wife alive he will have to pay a ransom.
Jeff is then faced with a race against time to get the money, which he doesn't have, and pay it to the kidnappers. The only problem is he doesn't know who to trust, as the police could be in on it too. Jeff knows he must take matters into his own hands if Amy stands a chance of surviving her ordeal.
I really dig this movie. First reason is that the story is very plausible. It's done in such a way that you really think something like this could happen to anyone. Everything is played to such believable effect, that it just heightens the suspense that already permeates throughout the movie. Kurt Russell is always worth watching, and he really lends Jeff a really believable everyman quality, that you are urging him to succeed. The late J.T. Walsh was always brilliantly cast as the sneering villain, and he delivers again here. As Red he really gives the film a sense of menace, that you doubt if Jeff will succeed in his plight. I really, really recommend this movie. It is a solid little thriller that is well worth a watch.

I remember seeing this at the cinema. It's like Deliverence with truck. Not seen it for a long time.
I really like it. Very tense movie and Kurt Russell is always worth a watch.
Mr. Brooks (2007)


Oh well, my heart is telling me to just post again today this post as a continuation of "The Kingdom Of GOD In series," and after this post, I will go ahead and continue where we left on The Importance Of Faith series.
You know some people may be praying with me to rebuke these demonic and evil spirits in our lives but they don't know really what they are rebuking. Some of these evil spirits are easy to understand because their names are so obvious. Today we will learn about the Jezebel spirit.
Another notorious spirit that affects so many of us including anointed believers if not careful. It is known as the spirit sent to steal, kill, and destroy. It is the devilish spirit, and it has the forms of envy and selfishness spirits to the point that it can steal, kill, and destroy. We have probably seen this spirit operating in our workplaces, our homes, and so forth.
As you can see, the Lord Jesus talks about a lot things just from this Bible passage alone. So many things to learn here; maybe let's just address a few of them. One, the Lord Jesus mentions here that He is the Original Shepherd; all other shepherds who came before him are thieves and robbers.
Then He continued and said, He is the Door. Door to what? As you can see the content following it, you will know He is the door to Salvation. Not only that He is the door to Salvation, but He is the door to Provision of life. He said, "If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture." Now this provision is more than the life we live now, but eternally, because as the passage continues He said, "I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." Basically He came to increase. He did not come to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.
Another thing we learn is that He is the Good Shepherd. But also He is not the hired shepherd. In other words, He is the original owner of the sheep, a.k.a, us, people of GOD and everything basically of GOD's creation.
So the Lord Jesus said, He is the original, the sheep belongs to Him, and that's why He even lay down His life for them so that He could save them. And He said "The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep." The hiring shepherd flees, because the sheep don't belong to them; there are just hired temporary. He then continued and said, "Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father." So He was not forced by the FATHER GOD to lay down His life for us, He did out of His love. Amazing right.
When the Lord Jesus said "And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd." My thinking and understanding, this other sheep fold is the Gentiles, all non-Jewish people that include you and me…hahaha. So Salvation began from Jews and then it extended to the rest of all people of the world.
May be let us continue discussing this Jezebel spirit. I wanted us to have a picture of this Jezebel spirit, and why it comes to steal, kill, and destroy.
Why is it called Jezebel spirit? Well, as the name says, this demonic and devilish spirit was named after this woman in the Bible who was possessed and had all the characteristics of this spirit of the devil.
Jezebel was the daughter of the king Ithobaal and the wife of king Ahab. The Bible says this Jezebel woman was a serious an idol worshiper to the point that she was supporting about 450 prophets of the god called Baal and 400 prophets of the god called Asherah. She relied on false prophets and gods. She was the worst influence in her husband life, king of Israel at the time, king Ahab. She made her family and the people under their leadership to refuse to obey the commands of the Lord God, and influenced them to worship the images of other gods instead. Jezebel even tried to kill all the Lord's prophets.
So the Lord wanted to put an end to her and her influence, and the influence of these gods that was disgracing the nation of Israel, and destroyed king Ahab dynasty.
This Jezebel was very controlling to the point that the true prophets of God in the region were afraid of her; she even threatened to kill Elijah, one of the most anointed prophets in Israel at that time.
You can see here, even though her husband was the one who was the king, but she was the one in charge of everything. She was controlling her husband even though he was the one who was the king, so she basically had power to control the entire Israel Nation at that time. The Nation that relied on and worshiped only the Living GOD, JEHOVAH.
I mean this woman was very controlling and manipulative and very dangerous. She didn't mind to kill, steal, tell lies; she didn't have the fear of GOD at all. She was a murderer and a thief. She first made false accusation of this man called Naboth, then made him to be killed, so that she could steal and gave his vineyard to her husband.
She killed for the piece of land, the vineyard that her husband wanted. I'm pretty sure they were already rich and wealthy. What kind of greed, mmh!
Friends, there are such people in this world possessed with this spirit. May THE LORD GOD help us all and escape Jezebel spirit, life and fate, in JESUS MIGHTY NAME.
Now, how do you know you are affected by Jezebel spirit? Are you manipulative and controlling?
First of all, Jezebel spirit comes to steal, kill, and destroy. Jezebel spirit is a counterfeit spirit, and basically a very selfish ambitious spirit that wouldn't mind to do anything to get what he or she wants.
Some Bible teachers also say that Jezebel spirit doesn't operate only on females, but males also. So this spirit can even affect males. There are some males who have all the characteristics of the Jezebel spirit.
So if you are an idol worshiper, you bow down and rely on false gods and prophets, there you go. If you are someone who cannot submit to her husband or wife, or hates any authority and cannot submit to it, always wants to be in charge and seek to be worshiped and praised, you may be affected and bitten by this devil spirit. You need to be delivered.
If you only submit when you want something and you do it with selfish motives, if you are revengeful and not forgiving, always jealousy of others who are more successful than you and you want to take their shine by putting them down, killing their dreams, then you are affected by this demonic spirit. If you threat people, and make them believe they can never succeed without your help, you are affected by Jezebel spirit. If you have to succeed even at the cost of other people lives, and you don't mind even to kill, then you really need to check yourself.
How do you overcome it? You need the LORD JESUS, whether you like it or not. He is the only way to Salvation and true deliverance. When we accept the Lord Jesus into our lives as our Lord and Savior, through Him, He washes our sins away, make us new again, and then His HOLY SPIRIT, The SPIRIT Of The LORD and The Living GOD, comes into our lives, and through Him we are being sanctified and protected from all these demonic forces. That's why I have been asking for us to pray against these demonic forces so that we can be delivered from them and escape them in our lives.

When American history and culture are featured on world stamps: U.S. Stamp Notes
Jul 15, 2016, 9 AM
Joint issue collecting, where two or more countries issue stamps with almost identical or similar designs, is a popular collecting area. The United States and Canada jointly celebrated the 1959 opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway.
Perry Como is featured on this Australian advertising cover.
These foreign stamps honoring President John F. Kennedy are all flawed: the Nicaragua is imperf, the Philippines stamp has a shifted tie, the Yemen stamp has a doubled Kennedy, and the Guinea stamp has the blue field of stars in the flag as ultramarine. These were possibly released as varieties with the objective of making extra money from collectors.
Caricatures of Bing Crosby and Bob Hope, who were both avid golfers, are pictured on this British aerogram that publicizes the St. Andrews golf tournament in Scotland.
Americana is a collecting field that focuses on foreign stamps and postal items that portray Americans or American theme content. The stamps shown here were issued by (clockwise from top left) Uruguay in 1919 to commemorate peace at the end of World War I, by France in 1927 to mark the visit of American Legionnaires, by Monaco in 1956 to honor the Fipex stamp show, by Paraguay in 1963 for Project Mercury, by Peru in 1964 for the Alliance for Progress, by Bangladesh in 1976 for the American Bicentennial, by Anguilla in 1979 in remembrance of Rowland Hill, and by Sweden in 1988 for the 350th anniversary of New Sweden.
By John M. Hotchner
American history and culture have a worldwide reach, and it is no surprise that they are featured on stamps and other postal products of many countries.
While no doubt some of these stamps were issued with the objective of raking in long green from American collectors, that isn't true of all.
Likely most collectors have run across such stamps. They are not hard to identify because they feature presidents engaged in head-of-state visits, or were issued in memory of U.S. presidents.
Connect with Linn's Stamp News:
Many of the world's nations issued a stamp or a set of stamps to commemorate President Franklin D. Roosevelt after he died in 1945.
Also, President John F. Kennedy was the subject of a great many stamps, sets, souvenir sheets, overprints, and commemorative covers after his assassination in 1963.
By that time, the revenue-producing aspect of stamp-design content had come to the attention of most of the world's postal administrations.
The result was that larger stamp sets were the rule, showing not only President Kennedy but also members of his family. Plus, perforated and imperf souvenir sheets, sometimes with overprints and surcharges, and even limited edition (likely intentional) errors were part of the challenge for JFK collectors.
American accomplishments in space have been commemorated on many stamps issued by other countries. Such stamps normally show astronauts, space vehicles, and/or images of moon landings.
Some of these space stamps are joint issues with Russia, celebrating cooperation in space exploration.
The area of joint issues is a fertile field, with two or more countries celebrating lengthy periods of friendship, diplomatic relations, contributions to society of people with connections to both countries, and joint projects.
An example of joint projects is the 1959 United States-Canada St. Lawrence Seaway joint issue (Scott United States 1131, Canada 387).
American participation in international organizations, and in regional or bilateral treaty arrangements, has been specifically acknowledged on stamps.
Under the category of history, there was worldwide recognition of the 200th birthday of the United States in 1976, and it is likely that something similar will happen on the 250th anniversary in 2026.
Many nations where the United States sent troops or aid in time of war or national disaster have marked these events with stamps. The Peace Corps, the Alliance for Progress, and other U.S. peacetime projects also have been honored.
And then there is culture: movies and movie stars, singers, works of art, books, sports stars, and more.
In addition, American themes appear on other philatelic products.
For example, shown nearby are Perry Como on an Australian ad cover, and Bob Hope and Bing Crosby as golfers on a British aerogram highlighting golfing at St. Andrews in Scotland.
If Americana is an area that interests you, there is an excellent resource: the Americana Study Unit of the American Topical Association.

Michael Chapman "True North" (Paradise Of Bachelors, 2019)
April 4, 2019 Jeremy Searle Album Reviews 0
In 1970 British folk legend Michael Chapman released his second album, 'Fully Qualified Survivor'. Nearly half a century and almost as many albums later no better phrase could describe him. Now 78 and still on the road, he's made, if not his best album ever, certainly one that is on the podium. His age and experience bleeds through the eleven songs here, with the opening 'It's Too Late' setting the tone in both title and content, a story of regret and lost love accompanied by keening slide guitar and offered in Chapman's gravelly cracked voice.
The four originals sit perfectly alongside the seven that have appeared on previous releases. The versions of the latter bid fair to be definitive while the former show that his songwriting muse has not deserted him. His acoustic guitar is foregrounded and BJ Cole and Sarah Smout on cello provide the perfect low key accompaniment, never more so than on the six minute instrumental 'Caddo Lake,' a richly evocative and melancholy piece.
The penultimate 'Youth Is Wasted On The Young,' is not as you might suppose, the bitter complaint of a septuagenarian but a harsh and honest assessment of his life and how he got to where he is. Many ageing musicians make albums that look back on past regrets, missed opportunities and losses but few, if any, have done it as well as Chapman here. In the aforementioned 'Youth…' he sings "there are so many futures but now there are none." After an album as outstanding as this one can only hope that in this regard at least, he's wrong.

Transcultural Student Research Group | TSRG 2021
The Impacts of the Belt and Road Initiative on Europe: The Case of Poland and Germany
As an ambitious project, the Belt and Road Initiative creates global value chains in a network that connects Europe, Asia, and Africa and that is characterised by diversity in languages, traditions, values, as well as political, social, and economic systems and settings. As one of the most fascinating and risky developments driving the formation of a global society, this initiative represents a global economic, political, social, and cultural experiment with potentially beneficial but also potentially disruptive consequences for all involved.
Against this background, it is important to contribute to the understanding of what the New Silk Road can mean in economic, political, leadership and cultural terms for the European countries involved. This analysis should reveal the practical consequences of the Belt and Road Initiative for Europe in the case of Poland and Germany, as well as their respective social effects.
The following topics are possible for the sub-research projects:
Economic impacts: international economy, business, logistic & transportation, innovation & technology, the impacts of COVID-19, international trade and investment, global value chains, value creation networks.
Socio-cultural impacts: transculturality, gender equality, arts, academia, media & communication, civil society organizations.
Political impacts: geopolitical impacts, bilateral relations vs. multilateral relations, 17+1, EU policy, para-diplomacy.
Leadership: relational leadership, transcultural leadership, cross-sectoral leadership, organization and management culture.
Starting in May, all TSRG 2021 participants will conceptually develop specific research questions that correlate both with their disciplinary background and with the TSRG 2021 overall research topic, together with experts at LEIZ and The Michał Boym Institute for Asian and Global Studies, as well as individual supervisors (ZU professors). Subsequently, the students will work on these questions together with students from Poland in an academic co-authoring process.
Accordingly, the group consists of several such pairs, who apply the common questions to their respective case studies and disciplines and exchange on their experiences and findings within the group. The case study research includes interviews and field research realized in the pairs and in cooperation with local universities and cooperation partners.
First results of the studies may be presented during the Transcultural Winter School 2021. After having submitted their individual Humboldt, Elinor Ostrom, Bachelor or Master theses, a joint book from all involved students will be published in the "Transcultural Management Series" at Metropolis Publisher.
Interested Polish students from all study programs are welcome and can apply for the TRSG until April 12,2021. To apply for the TRSG 2021, please send an email with your CV and Cover Letter to the Head of the Michał Boym Institute for Asian and Global Studies Patrycja Pendrakowska (ppendrakowska@instytutboyma.org). Please take into consideration that for working on this research project you should reserve around 10 hours per week and be able to take part in research trips to Germany and Poland. We welcome Bachelor and Master students, as well as PhD Candidates.

Ms. Łucja Drabczak - A Polish woman born in Harbin, she spent her childhood in China. She returned to Poland at the age of 10. She is the author of the book 'China... Memories from my childhood'. She contacted us to convey special family memories related to leaving Manchuria in 1949.
This is the second part of an inquiry into Ulaanbaatar's winning 2040 General Development Plan Conception (GDPC). In this part of paper, I look into some of the plans and/or solutions proposed in Ulaanbaatar's 2040 GDPC.
Witnessing the recent flurry of political activity amid the accelerating environmental emergency, from the Green New Deal to the UN climate summits to European political initiatives, one could be forgiven for thinking that things are finally moving forward.

What connects shamans and generals? On the problem of verification of internal conflicts of North Korea
The number of confirmed executions and frequent disappearances of politicians remind us that in North Korea the rules of social Darwinism apply. Any attempt to limit Kim Jong-un's power may be considered hostile and ruthless.

The phenomenon of "haigui"
After the darkness of the Cultural Revolution, the times of the Chinese transformation had come. In 1978, Deng Xiaoping realised the need to educate a new generation of leaders: people proficient in science, management and politics. Generous programmes were created that aimed at attracting back to China fresh graduates of foreign universities, young experts, entrepreneurs and professionals.
Historical vs Current Emissions: Towards an Ethical and Political Synergy in International Climate Policy
Environmental problems transcend not only national borders but also historical periods. And yet debates on the necessary measures and timelines are often constrained by considerations of election cycles (or dynastic successions) in any given country.
Short summary of events at the Boym Institute
We want the Boym Institute to become a valuable platform of exchanging views, making valuable acquaintances and, above all, deepening knowledge. Therefore, we undertake the organization of many events: debates, lectures, and conferences.
Kyrgyzstan on the Path to Political Stabilisation
On 10 January, early presidential elections were held in Kyrgyzstan, following the resignation of the incumbent, President Zheenbekov. The atmosphere in which the vote was conducted remained tense. This had been the case since the results of the October elections were announced, in which the opposition grouping failed to win a single parliamentary seat.

Why We Need Women in Politics, or the Scandal Solved Successfully in Uzbekistan with a Polish Woman in the Leading Role
Polish women do not often become the heroines of media reports in Central Asia. In February 2020, however, it was different. The story of Agnieszka Pikulicka-Wilczewska, a journalist, "heated up" the headlines of local news portals. More importantly, "between the lines" she talked a lot about contemporary Uzbekistan and the role of women in politics.

Naturally dead pure heartwood of Santalum elipticum, a rare variety of Hawaiian Sandalwood, 'iliahi(Hawaiian for sandalwood), or ʻIliahialoʻe(Hawaiian for coastal sandalwood). On the island of Kauai, this aromatic treasure was harvested from deep in the forest from a naturally dead and fallen tree.
This Hawaiian sandalwood is richly scented, reminiscent of Indian or Mysore sandalwood, but more sweet woody than creamy woody. You can enjoy its rich scent without ever even burning it, especially if you keep it in a jar. But if you do burn it, it's best to heat it gently, and have it on fire as little as possible. A charcoal, or electric incense heater is a great method for releasing the scent as well.

Nurture field-tested and culture-friendly new hires with an internship program.
There are several ways to evaluate job candidates to see if they're a good fit for your organization (read the article on personality testing in this issue), but nothing is more cut-and-dry than a dry-run at the job. For this reason, many businesses hire interns to get a feel for a potential candidate's aptitudes and attitude before they commit to offering a full-time position. As a result of this vetting, companies frequently offer interns a full-time position. In fact, nearly 60% of interns become employees at the end of their stint. The key is to develop a well-run internship program designed to create a veritable "talent pipeline" to ensure your new hires are field-tested and fit into the company culture.
An official intern program can help you avoid the awkwardness of a current employee (or executive) trying to get an unqualified family member hired. With a formal application and selection process, all candidates will start off on the same footing, and you'll know who meets the criteria for the job.
First, consider your personnel needs and motivation for seeking interns. Bear in mind that if you need more hands on deck, what you may require is an entry-level employee. Evaluate your needs accurately so you don't expect more than what interns can provide. Most are still learning and are looking to you to gain real-world knowledge.
These days most internships are paid. If you don't offer compensation, you may exclude a large percentage of the talent pool seeking income to help stay ahead of student loans. Furthermore, unpaid internship programs can lead to potential lawsuits if they do not meet legal requirements.
To get started, nurture relationships with your local colleges and universities to help procure strong candidates. Work with these institutions to be sure you provide the correct documentation so your interns receive college credit.
It's important that your program keep your intern busy with lots of learning opportunities. During slow periods, set up meetings with various team members so the intern can be exposed to the different types of roles people play on a team. How much they learn and value their experience is the engine behind a strong program. Once they return to college, word-of-mouth stories will influence the number and quality of interns interested in joining your program in the future.

Talking with your parents or older adult loved ones about selling their home can be a difficult and emotional experience. Presence Life Connections is here to help you organize the home-selling process. Once you and your loved ones are ready, reference this guide to make sure you've covered all your bases.
Personal: Before diving right into preparations for selling the house, be sure to invest some time in "people preparations." Although you may see the decision as an easy one, your parent or loved one will likely view selling the house as "giving up" the place they've called home for many years. Besides, you'll need the extra time they'll spend adjusting to the idea to get things in order.
Cleaning: Chances are, if it's time for your parents or older adult loved ones to move to a different living arrangement, routine housework like dusting, mopping and more have probably become challenging for them. The house is probably long overdue for a good "spring cleaning."
Low-budget option: Consider hiring a trusted friend or family member.
Home organization: It will be difficult for your parents to categorize and prioritize the items they plan to keep with them when they move and those they're going to part with. A home organizer can help with this process. To help your loved ones deal with the emotional strain of this task, give them the option of donating some of their furniture or collector's items to family members. That way, they can still enjoy them when they come for a visit.
Realtor: Over the age of 50 and considering selling the family home? You need a realtor with senior experience, knowledge and marketing savvy. Find senior real estate specialists in your area as well as other helpful resources at sres.org, a service of the National Association of Realtors. SRES® designees are certified senior specialists who are knowledgeable about the financial and emotional challenges senior clients face when they sell a long-held family home.
Home stager: Your parents' home and all the treasures contained in it are no doubt very special to them, but it's important that potential buyers envision themselves living in the house. Your realtor can put you in touch with a home stager who can advise you of any changes that need to be made in order to make the house more appealing to a wide variety of people. Prepare your older adult loved ones for possible changes like new paint colors, minimal decorations and more but remind them that many communities (like Presence Life Connections) encourage residents to personalize their new homes.
Moving companies: You sold your parents' home - congratulations! By this time, you and your loved ones have hopefully decided on a new home that best meets their needs and are eager to begin this new chapter in all your lives. The final choice is contracting with a moving company to bring your loved one's items to the new home. Be sure to ask the company for any senior-specific packages.
Low-budget option: Ask family and friends to help you move your parent(s) to their new home. They won't have as many items to transport so you can probably handle the job and this way you know your loved ones' items are in good hands.
Stay connected: Once your loved ones are settled in their new home at a Presence Life Connections community, stay connected with them.
