Eating out is a social norm the world over, and Malaysia is no different. From casual work meetings, to special occasions or family celebrations, restaurants have always been a preferred venue. While sharing food in good company is enjoyable, it can have an undesirable impact on our digestion when you indulge in unhealthy eating habits. However, this can easily be avoided; dining out healthy can be as easy as 1, 2, 3 - balance, moderation and variety.
While we are well aware that running on an empty stomach can be unsettling, imbalanced meals are also a common cause of gastric issues. To avoid this when eating out, try to include as much from all five major food groups such as fruits, vegetables, cereals/wholegrains, legumes/nuts/meat/fish, and dairy or alternatives. Additionally, some well-known gut-healthy foods and drinks to ease digestion include kimchi, acar, tempeh, lassi and kombucha.
When you eat out, moderation can tend to go out the window when you're in the company of friends and family, especially if you skip meals, after which you tend to overeat when those hunger pangs strike. While it's good to be satisfied after your meals, nobody likes to feel bloated. It is good to eat throughout the day, but in moderate quantities so as to prevent unwelcome gastrointestinal problems such as irritable bowel syndrome, dyspepsia and peptic ulcers.
If you're one to eat out often, a spread of various healthy cuisines can offer different types of nutrients. The more diverse your meals, the less likely you are to be nutritionally deficient. Not only is this better for digestion, but also is the perfect chance to let your taste buds explore. If you're in the mood for Malay food, try smaller portions of Nasi Ulam or tempoyak with less salt. Or if you fancy some Chinese food, steamed veggies or Congee (rice porridge) are good picks. As for Indian dishes, smaller portions of banana leaf rice and veggies, chapati or thosai (without ghee) are best.
If finding your fix from the ready-to-order menu is next to impossible, customise your order with the wait staff. Just remember to keep the oil, sugar, salt and spice levels low. We know that Malaysians are fond of spicy food, but too much of it can have a gut-busting impact. By eating out the right way, you can indulge in a hearty meal by choosing foods that won't take a toll on your digestive health. It's all about balance, moderation and variety, to steer clear of the groans from an unhappy stomach the next day.

The growth prospects of the Lok Satta Party are bright because of its adherence to certain values and policies, said its party President Dr. Jayaprakash Narayan here today. Parties bereft of values and policies, despite of their money and muscle power are disintegrating in front of our eyes, Dr. JP told a meeting of party leaders in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation.
Dr. JP referred to the flux in all political parties right from the village level and said the Lok Satta had to utilize the opportunity to attract more people and strengthen itself at the grassroots.
Dr. JP said that although the Lok Satta enjoyed credibility and popularity all over, it could not make the grade in elections because of organizational weakness. The party should grow from the village level onwards in the next three years and a half and face the 2014 general elections.
The Lok Satta Party, he underlined, does not view any party as untouchable and is prepared to work with all on the basis of broad policies. The time is not ripe for broaching electoral alliances, he added.
Dr. JP suggested that the party mobilize people on issues like eradication of corruption, empowerment of local governments and plight of villagers.
Mr. D. V. V. S. Varma, party Working President, took part in the meeting.

Word for the day by Christian Education Forum
Annunciation to Joseph
v5 Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.
We are approaching another Christmas and this one in the midst of a pandemic will look quite different from our usual celebrations. Every year when I watch a Christmas play, I feel quite sorry for Joseph who is the forgotten, almost insignificant character. Mary, shepherds, angels, king Herod and the donkey have more of a prominence in most plays than Joseph does. There are songs sung about baby Jesus, Mary, angels, wise men and even the little donkey but not too many on Joseph; on how he embraced the news or what he felt. Joseph had to deal with the painful reality that his soon to be wife was pregnant; but not with his child. Psalm 43 could act as a reflection of how alone Joseph felt and how alone some of us may feel going through the valleys of our life.
In this Psalm, there is a feeling of disorientation. The Psalmist took his feeling of injustice to God and left it at His throne. It is hard to go through challenging times without leaning on that source of support. The psalmist felt alone. Questioning 'why' or 'why me' when going through trials is normal. The psalmist wonders why God did not do things according to how he thought, especially when the answer seems obvious. In v.3, we see the Psalmist asking for light and truth from God instead of relying on his own strength. The Psalm that begins by sounding depressed ends in praise and this shift happens once he acknowledges where his strength comes from. The psalmist seeks to go to the holy mountain to further focus on God and enjoy the communion of other fellow believers. The psalmist was confident that God would come to his aid. But while he waited, he did not succumb to his feelings of discouragement. He did not take any shortcuts. Instead, he challenged those feelings and took them to God. Our God is strong enough to handle all our feelings and our doubts. At the end of the psalm there is no indication of his situation changing but the writer's outlook did and that made all the difference. Though Joseph initially wanted to divorce Mary quietly, he was able to heed to God's will and that shift in attitude brought joy to the whole world. It was not easy but with God's help, it was possible.
Dear God, help us bring our struggles, worries, fears and doubts to You and help us to be receptive to Your light, Amen
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7

Community Formation Around Resurrection Experience Acts 23:1-10 Vinod Johnson Carmel MTC, Boston, MA 6 When Paul noticed that some were Sadducees and others were Pharisees, he called out in the council, "Brothers, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees. I am on trial concerning the hope of the resurrection of the dead." Sometimes, the only thing that keeps you going through a brutal winter is the hope for the spring. It may have been a hard hope to hold on to this particular year in New England - a year in which Boston considered dumping not tea, but the ever growing mounds of snow into its harbor. And yet, the waist deep snow has dissolved away. White desolation has given way to increasingly visible green shoots of spring. A resurrection is at hand! In this passage, Paul tries to defend himself before the Sanhedrin Council. He seeks to drive a wedge between the Pharisees who believed in resurrection and the Sadducees who did not; even though neither believed in the resur
Revelation for Liberation Acts 27:18-26 Sherine Thomas Long Island MTC, NY 20 When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest raged, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned. "After winter comes the summer. After night comes the dawn. And after every storm, there comes clear open skies" so said a Scottish clergyman from the 1600s. It's been said, that hope can sometimes be the most dangerous weapon. However, it's sometimes the hardest weapon to carry when you're living with the loss of a loved one, something that almost feels like a terrible nightmare that'll never go away. It's a weapon difficult to carry when day in and day out no one seems to hear or see those tears that are shed or silent cries that are made during a heartfelt prayer. It's a weapon difficult to carry as you see your loved one lying on that hospital bed. It's a weapon difficult to carry as you search and seek out answers to tell a child as to why they've been a
PRIESTHOOD: THE ANOINTED MINISTRY Exodus 40:12-16 Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting... wash them with water. Then dress Aaron in the sacred garments, anoint him and consecrate him so he may serve me as priest (Exodus 40: 12-13). Priesthood among the people of God was a divine command and initiation. God wanted some people to be separated for the special ministry among his people. God appointed Aaron and his descendants to take up this kind of ministry among the people of God. Priests are always separated and appointed as channels that connect God with his people. All throughout the history of Israel, priests played an important role in connecting people with God and to lead and guide them in the statutes of God. But there are incidents in the Bible where the priests failed in their duties and that led the people to go away from God. So the priests have a special and significant ministry to perform in this world among his people. Two important things

We can't thank you enough for everything! You were a huge part in making our day what it was. You took the time to get to know us individually and understand our needs and wants for our wedding. We love that you took the time to create playlists for every part of the day that we can collaborate on. It was also a huge relief to us that you worked so well with our other vendors. Our dance floor was full during our entire reception and everyone there made a point to tell us how great of a job you did. Thank you so much for helping make our day so memorable!
Thank you so much for being a part of our wedding. You truly made it very special and so fun! The music was amazing and we also appreciate you helping with organizing and coordianting the night. You're a great friend and it meant a lot of the to have you DJ. Everyone had such a great time and thank you for making our wedding awesome.
We can't recommend Elliott highly enough! From first booking with him, he was so great at wanting to get to know us to provide the best experience...and he nailed it! Our wedding was hit after hit, no one wanted to leave the dance floor and that's just what we wanted. Elliott totally understood the vibe we were going for and really added a special, unique element to our big day. I'm still getting compliments on how great the DJ was! Can't wait for another event to book him again!
We can't thank Elliott enough for helping to make our wedding absolutely perfect. With as much time and effort that goes into selecting your wedding photographer, caterer etc., the choice of Elliott as our DJ was our best and quickest decision. He was highly recommended by our wedding planner and thankfully, he was free for our wedding day. We enjoyed getting to meet Elliott a few weeks before the wedding and we had a great time talking music with him. He took the time to fully understand our likes and dislikes and by the end, we were stoked with the direction we were headed. Elliott was awesome to work with over email as we were finalizing the ceremony and reception playlists. During the big day, Elliott went above and beyond to help make sure everything went smoothly. He was always willing to lend a helping hand. When it came to his music expertise at the reception, Elliott knocked it out of the park. He read the party atmosphere so well and seamlessly jammed through all of our favorite songs. The energy was amazing underneath the star filled sky. We could have danced the night away but we're glad we packed up when we did as a rainstorm came through a mere half hour later. Many guests have passed numerous compliments onto us about the great music and awesome DJ. Our wedding would not have been as amazing as it was without Elliott. Thank you so much!!
We couldn't have been happier with our decision to use DJ Elliott for our wedding. Leading up to the event Elliott took the time to get to know us and our style so he could really understand what we were looking for and the environment we wanted to create. Elliott worked with us to develop unique dinner and reception playlists that incorporated his suggestions but always put our vision and opinions first. During our event Elliott went out of his way to make sure things ran smoothly and on schedule, even helping other vendors and making sure our food and beverage needs were being met. On the dance floor Elliott brought high energy, smooth transitions, and timely selections that kept the party going strong all night (with several encores). Since the event, we have had multiple guests comment on Elliott's performance and have even had friends request our playlists to try and "save" other wedding receptions as they were happening.
Let us know if you need anything else! Thanks again for everything, its always fun to reflect back on what we thought was a perfect day.
We are people who choose to live life well, and we both work in positions that require a significant level of customer service and attention. We have high standards, are openly vocal about what we like/dislike, love to entertain and have little tolerance for what we perceive as mediocrity. In looking towards our wedding we clearly needed more than just a "wedding DJ". We truly love music- it is woven through many aspects of our lives and was therefore going to be key to the success of our entire event. It was important to us to create an experience for our guests, and to incorporate the broad range of music that really speaks to who we are and what fills our souls.
Elliott was the answer. From the first time we spoke with him we were confident that he would take the time to get to know us, our likes and dislikes, and what was important to us on our wedding day. In addition to his exceptional skills as a DJ, Elliott was on task with MC-ing our entire evening- keeping us on schedule, helping to manage a bit of a snafu with our food vendor and reading our guests and the party to perfection. We had an exceptional time and our only regret the next day, was that we aren't able to throw an event of this magnitude every month- Elliott was at the center of this success.
We would wholeheartedly and without question recommend Elliot to anyone looking for an incredible artist with a genuine love for people, customer service and his "craft"…. you will NOT be disappointed. We will consider him a friend for life, and look forward to our next opportunity to utilize his services.
Thank you so much for all your help at our wedding! You KILLED it! Literally, best night ever!
We both just wanted to take a minute to again thank you and tell you that you did an amazing job at our wedding. You seriously killed it, man! Thank you so so so much for everything you did, from the planning and organizing, touching base with us here and there about song suggestions and our thoughts, helping us out with the perfect processional music, to the actual wedding itself. You helped make the best day of our lives even more memorable. You took our suggestions and ran with them to create an epic playlist that was truly customized to our taste and style. We literally had at least ten different people ask, "Who's the DJ?," and "Where did you find him?" and had so many more compliments on the music, including some friends who said we had the best music of any wedding they'd ever been to. Hopefully you can get a few of our friends to contact you for their events down the road; we will gladly give anyone your information if they're looking for an awesome DJ. The music for our wedding was one of the most important things to us and you really went above and beyond what we had imagined, and we are so grateful to you for it. We hope you had as much fun as we did and we hope you'll let us know next time you're in town so we can get together again and thank you in person!


Happy New Year! Its been a great summer of skydiving so far for SQPC, and lots of positive change keeping the management committee very busy.
is working through the changes and dealing with issues as they arise. The challenges are great; but every change represents skydiving coming of age as a sport in this country. A sleeker and more professional national structure of sporting management is emerging that will bring with it growth and greater opportunity in all realms of training, recreational, competitive or professional skydiving. There is benefit for everyone.
Our goal to have coached skydiving opportunities every weekend this year is off to a great start with 4 coaching events already acquitted and paid, four more coming in January, and 30 events already on the SQPC calendar for 2017. Huge thanks to our 2017 organisers and coaches so far: Tommer and Benoit organising and coaching freefly, angles and wingsuits at Skydive Byron Bay, Full Tilt and Keith preparing for Nationals, Mossy coaching CP and canopy control at Toogs, Ben and Martin coaching and organising big ways and starcrests, Koppel at Mee Loft with Monthly Maintenance workshops, the Coast to Coast crew with first stop of the tour bus at Toogoolawah (don't forget to apply for a rebate on your B-rel slots if you where one of the B-Rel students that went hard at Coast to Coast). If you want to organise or coach, please come to the AGM. We will review the initiative so far and listen to feedback from our organisers, and push forward into the second quarter.
SQPC and NQPC work hand in hand with our independent Queensland peak body QPA, to co-operate with the Queensland State Government and recognise their state based sporting initiatives. The SQPC public facebook page has now become "Queensland Parachuting Association: NQPC and SQPC" to broaden and promote our skydiving opportunities state-wide. The page is frequently updated with skydiving news and events. We welcome content and feedback, so please have a look at our page, and like and share anything of interest.
Our current website www.sqpc.org.au will soon become linked to a new website for QPA to connect all Queensland based APF members with Queensland State Government sports funding initiatives. This follows the success of the QPA grant application to the Department of National Parks, Sport and Racing 2017-2019 State Development Programme. We have new KPI's to meet and have plenty of ideas about how to use the state government's generous funding to grow and sustain skydiving in Queensland. Most of our coach and event funding comes from this source, along with the highly successful $50 Stage 9 AFF rebate, which will continue. Great news! Our support for B-rel students will increase: from January 1st, the Certificate B rebate will now be $100. Apply here: 2017 SQPC Members Funding More information will follow as QPA's new website comes on-line.
SQPC AGM 21st February, 2017 at 7pm, Springwood Towers Hotel, 9 Murrajong Rd Springwood.
Our first AGM as an Area Council and committee of the APF, is fast approaching and the time to think about our 2017 elections is now. All positions as per the APF "Terms of Delegation for Councils" will be up for election, however, with APF permission, SQPC will continue its current management committee structure as it appears above. Part of SQPC's strategic plan is strong succession planning, so we welcome new office bearers! Get in touch if you are interested in nominating for a volunteer role on the committee, if you are elected we'll provide training and support to ease you into the role. Sports management, business, accounting, IT and technical skills are particularly welcome, but all interested parties will be encouraged to get involved. We need and value volunteers.
It's going to be a big year!


As a contemplative myself, I am always interested when people talk about silence. For most, a time of silence is about withdrawal from the everyday world for a time of introspection. It is quite common for people to describe a time of silence wistfully, as if it were some unachievable goal. When I suggest getting up a little earlier, or going to bed a few minutes later, or setting an alarm during the day, people often smile and set the idea aside, unwilling to devote any time in their schedule for something as self-indulgent as a quiet time for themselves.
The active work of the Missional Wisdom Foundation is lived out through ongoing missional experimentation. These experiments are developed through a conjunction of the contemplative stance and missional imagination.
The surveys are in. The numbers are down. Church is changing.
Within church walls the conversations center on what to do. How do we hang on? What has changed? Why do we gather for an hour one day a week to sing and listen to someone else talk?
We will practice a contemplative stance in order to be present to the world and ourselves.
How are you here? How are you absent? Do you believe that contemplation is a good use of time?

6 ways to include more technology in the accounting curriculum
AIS courses are just one piece of the puzzle.
By Cheryl Meyer
The accounting profession needs graduates who are conversant with at least the basics of control over business processes and accounting data. However, as a survey by the AICPA and National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA) found, a gap exists between the types of technology that are being taught in accounting programs and the technological acumen that employers seek. According to the survey, fewer than 50% of accounting department heads say their curricula include such topics as predictive analytics, systems and organization control engagements (SOC), digital acumen, cybersecurity, IT governance, and IT risks and controls.
Accounting information systems (AIS) courses can play a key role in closing this gap, but they shouldn't carry the full burden of teaching students about new technologies.
"At many universities, AIS has become a catchall course for any technology that needs to be incorporated into the curriculum," said Jan Taylor-Morris, CPA, CGMA, Ph.D., an associate professor of accounting at Sam Houston State University, and the academic in residence at the AICPA. That can mean that technology is not well integrated across the curriculum, she said.
When AIS is the primary way accounting students learn about technology, AIS faculty might attempt to cover too many technologies in their courses, emphasizing exposure with too little skill depth, said Margarita Lenk, Ph.D., associate professor in the departments of accounting and computer information systems at Colorado State University.
Currently, there's no clear consensus as to what an AIS course should include. The goals of AIS courses vary by school, and the technologies and topics taught depend partly on each school's student body, location, and which employers and industries tend to hire its graduates. AIS faculty typically determine the content of their courses, in collaboration with their colleagues and advisory boards.
Some actions on the part of professional bodies may soon bring a higher degree of consistency to how technology is taught in accounting departments. The AICPA and NASBA have created The CPA Evolution initiative, a joint project created to modify the CPA licensure model based on the changing skills that accounting graduates now need. In tandem with this project, the AICPA is developing an updated version of the Uniform CPA Examination for 2024, which will incorporate the model's new core and disciplines structure. Information systems and controls is one of the three new disciplines. This change, in addition to new accounting accreditation teaching and learning standards from the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, will likely put pressure on university accounting departments to figure out ways to better integrate technologies into their curricula.
"The CPA Evolution highlights the need for a curricular approach to integration of professional technology tools," Lenk said. "Accounting faculty need to work together to create sequentially developmental curricular outcomes."
In the meantime, here are some steps faculty and accounting departments can take to improve their coverage of technology:
Plug the holes. Review your courses and determine whether you are teaching the eight topics mentioned in the gap analysis report, or teaching them in enough depth, Taylor-Morris said. She also encouraged faculty to review the AICPA/NASBA CPA Evolution Model Curriculum once it launches in June 2021. While the model curriculum might not initially contain "specific course structures," she said, "we are providing suggested courses for specific topics, and there will be an opportunity for AIS professors to find common topics and learning objectives that might fit best within their course curriculum."
The AIS course "is extremely important and, for many programs, will play a key role in helping students develop the digital acumen needed for the accounting profession," she said.
Learn the tools. Faculty should learn tools such as Alteryx, Tableau, and Power BI, and look for opportunities within their current classes to utilize those tools, said Lorraine Lee, CPA, Ph.D., professor of accounting at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, who teaches an advanced topics in AIS course. "I taught a graduate-level database class and integrated Alteryx with that class, and it was a huge success," she said. "The students were able to make the connection between SQL queries and the corresponding Alteryx functionalities, helping their overall understanding of both."
Study syllabuses. Most departments are open to sharing their syllabuses for accounting courses, AIS included, so take advantage of that resource. Lenk suggested identifying 20 peer institutions and obtaining their syllabuses to get an idea of what technologies your courses could include.
Get involved. Join the AIS Educator Association, the American Accounting Association's AIS and SET (Strategic and Emerging Technologies) sections, or other similar groups to stay up to speed as to what's happening in the profession, both Lenk and Lee said. These groups host training bootcamps and provide many helpful resources to their members, said Lenk.
Tap young alumni. University accounting departments often have an untapped resource at their disposal: their recent graduates who are tech-savvy and working in the field. Lenk recommends that accounting departments start young alumni advisory boards "because it is the young alumni who know which tools are critical to the profession." In addition, advised Lee, invite young alumni to speak to students about what technologies and tools they are using.
Teach critical thinking. Critical thinking is a key component of helping students develop a digital mindset. As Taylor-Morris observed, the gap analysis survey identified "digital acumen" as a topic covered by approximately 30% of larger accounting programs and only 15% of smaller programs. "By delivering knowledge of technologies along with critical thinking and problem-solving, faculty will help students begin to develop digital acumen organically," she said.
Lenk, who teaches both an undergraduate and graduate AIS course, said her class is largely about "critical thinking and problem-solving." Her students review topics such as stakeholders' assumptions and biases, strategy objectives, resources and processes, potential risks, and internal controls. She advises students to learn "when to pull each tool out of your toolkit and why," and helps them understand the role and the variables that can add value to an organization when "designing, operating, auditing, and maintaining" systems. She also asks students to rank alternative choices and defend their selections in terms of how those investments and choices make an organization more competitive.
Join us on June 15–16 for a free online event announcing the launch of the new CPA Evolution Model Accounting Curriculum. During this event, task force members who created the curriculum will give attendees a thorough overview of the curriculum and discuss how accounting departments can prepare students for the new Information Systems and Controls, Business and Reporting, and Tax Compliance and Planning disciplines.

This is a tough thing to have to do.
I'm on a big push right now to get the rest of my grandpa's records digitized as quickly as possible. I know I've said this before. This time, though, I actually have a deadline looming. Later this year my family and I will be moving out of the country and we can't take the record player or records with us. Even if I thought they could survive the journey (which I don't), shipping costs would be astronomical. As much as I love the player and the records themselves, what's special to me is the content and the glimpse it gives me not only of my grandpa, but of life in a different era. Once I have that content preserved, I can handle parting with the physical media and player.
To see exactly what this "stuff" is, click on the "About" menu at the top of the page. For the gear, select "The iPod" and for the records "The Playlist." The only part of the turntable setup that is currently functioning is the 78rpm motor. The 33rpm motor worked until about a year ago, when I think it burned out. It will start but immediately starts to lose speed and eventually stops, all while making a loud humming noise. The Altec A323B amp lights up (or did the last time we messed with it) but it's not connected to anything. The records are in a custom case made of 3/4″ plywood lined with foam, on large heavy-duty casters. For a picture of it, see my very first post.
But now I need your help. What do I do with this stuff? My first thought is to try to sell it (especially the equipment) but for a lot of it, shipping is impossible. The smaller components from the record player are the only things that I could possibly package and send. I'd also be willing to consider donating (particularly the records) to a museum, archive, or some other place that would appreciate and share what I have. If you know of any person or organization that might be interested in either my gear or my records–or if you are interested–please contact me either via comment or by email.
I think it will take me at least another month or two to finish digitizing everything, so I'm guessing I'll be ready to part with it sometime after the beginning of April. We will probably be moving in mid-May. We will leave central Florida by car, stop in St. Louis en route to Detroit to visit family and friends, then fly out of Detroit to Thailand, our final destination.
While digitizing will take priority over posting for the next couple of months, I am going to try to keep getting material up. And even after we move I'll be able to keep posting, so please don't go away–there are lots of great programs to come.

Keep the City of London strong by resisting politically driven banking changes
Simon Duggan, managing director at Knox House Trust Limited, says the 2015 Summer Budget was a triumph of politics over economic substance.
A major financial centre and a strong trust industry complement one another. I would keep the City of London strong by resisting too many politically driven banking changes. Measures such as forcing banks who are tax resident in the UK to pay an extra 8% corporation tax can only weaken the sector.
The non-dom changes were pre-Election Labour Party policy now stolen by the Tories which George Osborne probably thinks will help his appeal to the centre ground of UK politics, hence will help his ambition to succeed David Cameron as PM. In the long run, the economy will pay a high price for Mr Osborne's career ambitions.
The 2015 Summer Budget was a triumph of politics over economic substance. The IHT changes for the family home will further distort the economics of the UK housing market, to give but one example. Also, HMRC will be tripling the number of "wealthy evaders" it pursues for prosecution, even if there aren't actually three times as many who deserve it. To top it all off, they will now extract money directly from people's bank accounts, thus, perhaps, motivating them to keep their money somewhere else.
Initially Mr Osborne's personal stock seems to have risen both with the bookies, as regards who will succeed David Cameron, and with the Tory Party. However, it may well prove that this wasn't the right timing for that. What may matter more, in the long run, is whose stock is riding high when David Cameron stands down as PM and the Tories will have to decide who should replace him. By that stage, some of the shortcomings of the economics of the Budget may be becoming apparent and Mr Osborne could regret the problems inherent in this Budget.


It is easy to get inured to the history that surrounds you when you live in Rome. No matter how dramatic or romantic Rome may be, I still do the same things anyone anywhere does like grocery shopping, laundry and paying bills. The slight difference is that history imbues every part of daily life. The ancient is still very much a part of modern Rome. I live on a street rumored to be the former home of Julius Cesear, though this is the Roman version of George Washington slept here. My trek to the grocery store include a climb of the the Borgia steps. The families who crests adorn palaces and fountains are parents at school and friends at cocktail parties.
Here are a few links for you to learn more about Rome's noble families.
Start with Anthony Majanlahti's marvelous book, The Families Who Made Rome. This book gives you a look behind the names like Colonna, della Rovere, Farnese, Borghese, Barberini and the splendor their wealth and power brought to Rome.
The Forbes Travel Blog has a terrific article with details on who Chigi, Borgia and Pamphili families are and where you can find sites connected to them.
No royal family is free from scandal and the Doria Pamphilj family is embroiled in a doozy. You can read all the sordid details in the January 2014 issue of Vanity Fair.
Would you like to stop for coffee and cake in the Palazzo Doria Pamphilj? Read how over on Elizabeth Minchilli's blog.
Lovely! And excellent photos by the way.
Oh, this is the type of information that I simply adore. Once a history fanatic, always a history fanatic, I say. It's a tough call to pin my favorite period of history, but since I am currently reading Colleen McCullough's "Caesar", well then ancient Rome it is. (It's always a toss up between ancient Rome and quattrocento Florence.) Thank you for this lovely tour. I've really got to come to Rome.What wonderful photographs!
And what about downloading The Borgias ? You left out TV! How could you?
We are descended from the ACTTI of ancient Rome (BC600). Where can I find out where they were in Rome?

The teenage cancer patient whose dream came true when Beyoncé FaceTimed her, has died.
Ebony Banks lost her battle with the disease on Sunday, March 26, only four days after she got to speak with her idol over video chat.
Candlelight vigils for the Houston-based student took place as Alief Hastings High School confirmed the sad news via Twitter.
Banks, who went by Ebob, had spent most of her senior year in the hospital after being diagnosed with a rare form of stage lV cancer.
Her biggest wish was to meet Beyoncé, and thanks to her classmates' and family's social media campaign, it happened before she passed away.
The plan worked, and Banks got to speak with the Grammy winning star from her hospital bed via FaceTime.
On March 16, Banks' high school district held a special early graduation ceremony for the teen at MD Anderson Hospital, where she was being treated.
Her hope had been to attend college, where she wanted study to become a pediatric nurse to help others battling cancer.

Mikkey Dee: The Engine of Motörhead
Mikkey Dee, who was born in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1963, first broke out with King Diamond in the mid-'80s, playing on the albums Fatal Portrait, Abigail, Them, and Conspiracy. In 1992 Motörhead front man Lemmy Kilmister called him (reportedly for a third time) to replace Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor, and he has been the band's drummer ever since, appearing most recently on their Motorizer album.
"I've been in bands that were great musically, but that didn't have the rest of their stuff together. And I've been in bands where I just wasn't happy with the music," Dee told MD. "But I really feel I've got it all with Motörhead. The music is great, the guys are great, and they've been doing it so long it seems they're just going to keep playing until they die!"
Mikkey has also appeared on Dokken front man Don Dokken's 1990 debut, Up From The Ashes, Helloween's 2003 album, Rabbit Don't Come Easy, and Pain's 2007 release, Psalms Of Extinction.

Could your home's CURB APPEAL be greatly improved by a landscape renovation?
How old is your landscape?
A residential landscape in Des Moines is usually meant to last 15 to 20 years, according to industry standards. After that, plants often begin to outgrow their placement and/or lose vigor. Perhaps an overhaul is due.
Are you spending too much time on maintenance?
A properly-planned landscape is low-maintenance (unfortunately, there's no such thing as no-maintenance). Are you driven crazy by constantly pruning overgrown shrubs? Do you need to spray your plants to prevent pests and disease? The maintenance headaches are often the result of a poorly-planned or overgrown landscape.
Earthly Possibilities installations are designed to work in harmony with your style and your home's architectural features. Do your plantings and walkways beckon visitors to the front entry? A welcoming landscape is a key feature for curb appeal and significantly adds value to your property.

Володимир Геннадійович Сало ( 6 лютого 1974, Біловодське, Киргизька РСР) — киргизький футболіст, захисник, пізніше киргизький футбольний тренер. Відомий за виступами за низку киргизьких та казахських клубів вищих дивізонів, а також у складі збірної Киргизстану. Неодноразовий чемпіон Киргизстану та володар Кубка країни. Кращий футболіст Киргизстану 1995 року.

Кар'єра футболіста
Володимир Сало народився в селі Біловодське неподалік столиці Киргизької СРСР Фрунзе. Розпочав займатися футболом у республіканському УОР. У професійному футболі дебютував у 1991 році в команді союзної другої ліги «Достук» із Сокулука, пізніше грав у її складі у двох перших чемпіонатах незалежного Киргизстану, у яких команда грала під назвою «СКА-Достук». У 1994 році Володимир Сало став гравцем клубу «Кант-Ойл», у складі якого в цьому ж сезоні уперше став чемпіоном країни. Наступного року Сало в складі кантської команди вдруге став чемпіоном країни, а також був визнаний кращим футболістом Киргизстану, проте команда в кінці 1995 року була розформована. Після цього Володимир Сало протягом 1996—1997 років грав у клубі другої російської ліги «Волгар-Газпром» з Астрахані.

У 1997 році Володимир Сало повернувся до Киргизстану, де став гравцем команди «Динамо» з Бішкека, проте ще до кінця сезону він перейшов до іншого столичного клубу «Алга-ПВО»), який наступного року перейменували на «СКА-ПВО». У складі армійської команди футболіст у 1997 і 1998 роках ставав володарем Кубку Киргизстану. На початку 1999 року Сало став гравцем казахської команди вищого дивізіону «Шахтар» з Караганди, проте зіграв у її складі лише 9 матчів, після чого знову повернувся до складу «СКА-ПВО», у складі якого став чемпіоном країни та володарем Кубка країни 2000 року.

На початку 2001 року Володимир Сало стає гравцем клубу казахського вищого дивізіону «Жетису», проте за підсумками сезону клуб вибуває з вищого дивізіону, і Сало протягом сезону 2002 року грає у складі «Жетису» в другому казахському дивізіоні. У 2003 році футболіст стає гравцем казахської команди вищого дивізіону «Тараз», проте вже за півроку повертається до складу «СКА-ПВО». У цьому ж році він знову стає володарем Кубка Киргизстану та срібним призером першості країни, а наступного року, коли команду перейменували на «СКА-Шоро», він знову стає у складі команди срібним призером першості країни, повторивши цей успіх разом із командою в сезоні 2005 року. У 2006 році Володимир Сало стає гравцем команди «Абдиш-Ата» з Кант, у складі якої знову стає срібним призером першості країни. У 2007 році в черговий раз футболіст стає гравцем столичної «Алги», яка в цьому році грала під назвою «Авіатор-ААЛ». У 2008 році Володимир Сало знову стає гравцем клубу «Абдиш-Ата», проте наступного року остаточно завершив виступи на футбольних полях.

Тренерська кар'єра
Після закінчення виступів на футбольних полях Володимир Сало з 2010 року деякий час працював тренером свого останнього клубу «Абдиш-Ата». У 2015 році колишній футболіст тренував юнацьку збірну Киргизстану віком гравців до 19 років. У 2017 році Володимир Сало очолив клуб Топ-Ліги «Кара-Балта», а в 2018 році став одним із тренерів олімпійської збірної Киргизстану, яка брала участь у Азійських іграх.

Виступи за збірну
17 квітня 1994 року Володимир Сало дебютував у національній збірній Киргизстану в матчі міжнародного турніру проти збірної Казахстану. У складі збірної Сало грав до 2004 року, останній матч зіграв 30 листопада 2004 року проти збірної Сирії. Усього за збірну зіграв 30 матчів, тривалий час був одним із рекордсменів збірної за числом зіграних матчів.

The Visoki Decani monastery is one of the most important Orthodox Christian monasteries in Serbia. The monastic katholikon is one of the biggest medieval churches at the Balkan region.
The monastery is 7 miles (12 km) at the south of Pec, a small town. The monastery is in Kosovo.
The frescoes preserved here are very extensive, and rank among the finest in Europe. The church was constructed using onyx marble and also some light-yellow and red-purple marbles. The church is most notable for its immense dimensions. Architecturally, the Visoki Decani monastery style is a combination of Early Gothic and Romanesque.
The interior of the church has the original 14th century stone templon. The sarcophagus of King Stefan is also there. One of the most notable frescoes is Christ Carrying the Cross. Another one is the Marriage at Cana. The Relic of the True Cross is another major attraction at the site.
The monastery was founded in 1327 by Serbian King Stefan Uros III Decanski. After the king died, he was interred at the monastic church. This would increase the popularity of the place and turn it into a shrine.
After the king died, work on the monastery was continued by Emperor Stefan Uros IV Dusan, his son. It was not until 1350 when the wall painting was finished. The church would go on to be dedicated to Christ Pantocrator.
The structure was built under the direction of Vitus of Kotor, a Franciscan monk. In 1990, the church was declared a Monument of Culture of Exceptional Importance due to its record of 14th century times.
Cost of tours to Serbia varies greatly. At the most basic, you can go there on your own and just pay for the airfare which should be around 1000 USD or so. Guided tours will cost at least a few hundred Euros. A more extensive tour (i.e., a week) will cost at least a thousand Euros.
The Crucifixion fresco is noted for two unusual objects. These objects are said to symbolize comets. However, some UFO researchers believe they are actually spaceships.
They point out that the objects cannot be comets because there are people inside it. They also say the objects look like UFOs. For this reason, it is one of the most popular attractions in the site.
The Visoki Decani monastery remains one of the most popular tourist destinations in Serbia today. In 2004, it was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List.

With high performance review underway, Curling Canada hopes new quad yields results
December 22, 2022 Canuck Brier, Canada, Canada Olympics, canada sports, Curling, Curling Canada, gerry peckham, Scotties, Sports
Curling Canada is hoping an ongoing high-performance review will help put the federation on track for success after a disappointing showing on the international stage last season.
Canada's lone curling medal at the Beijing Olympics was a men's bronze and the gold shutout continued at the world championships.

One of the top priorities on the organization's to-do list for the new quadrennial is hiring a high-performance director to succeed Gerry Peckham, who is serving as a consultant ahead of retirement.
Chief executive officer Kathy Henderson said Curling Canada received an "enthusiastic and highly skilled response" from the curling market and high-performance community for the position.
"We have a panel of internal experts and someone from Own the Podium is working with us and we are hoping to have someone announced hopefully in January," Henderson said.

Peckham, who has spent over three decades with the organization, guided a program that excelled for many years on the international stage but often underperformed at major events over the last two quads.
"We want the same excellence and we want the same medals," Henderson said. "But we have to work harder for them and it's going to be incremental."
Preliminary findings from the high-performance review did yield one notable early-season announcement. The 18-team, two-pool format will become permanent at the Tim Hortons Brier and Scotties Tournament of Hearts.

Additional announcements are expected once the review is complete.
"This is a funny year because there's a lot of recovery involved in it and there's a lot of reflection," Henderson told The Canadian Press from Toronto. "So we're recovering and we're reflecting right now.

"But I would say probably starting in April you'll see some shifts and some changes that we're going to stick to for the quad."
Qualification details and dates for the Olympic trials and mixed doubles trials have yet to be announced. The timing of those playdowns has been the subject of much debate.

The team trials are traditionally held about two months out from the start of the Games. The mixed doubles trials wrap up about a month before the opening ceremony.
Critics feel the preparation period is too short under the current setup. Proponents argue the schedule allows for representation from curlers who are peaking at the right time.
Canada didn't reach the team podium at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games although John Morris and Kaitlyn Lawes won gold in the Olympic debut of mixed doubles.
Four years later in Beijing, the Canadian women's and mixed doubles teams missed the playoffs. Brad Gushue's men's side salvaged a third-place finish.

World championship results have also sagged in recent seasons.
Canada's last women's world title came in 2018 when Jennifer Jones won gold in North Bay, Ont. Canada's last men's world title came in 2017 when Gushue was victorious in Edmonton.
Canada's best result at the world mixed doubles championship has been silver (in 2017 and '19).

The six-event Grand Slam of Curling circuit has resumed for 2022-23 but the first Season of Champions calendar of the four-year cycle has a new look.
The inaugural PointsBet Invitational kicked things off in September on a schedule highlighted by the national championships but one that no longer includes the Canada Cup or Continental Cup.
"I think next year you'll probably see some changes in the lineup," Henderson said. "We may add another event."
This will be the last season with Tim Hortons as the title sponsor of the Brier and the Canadian Curling Trials.
The restaurant chain first sponsored the Brier in 2005 and has been a partner with Curling Canada since 1996.

Can it be summer already, with warm evenings, soft light and ice cream? Apparently not, it seems, unless you headed to 5 Hertford Street to celebrate the Italian fashion designer Luisa Beccaria. The Mayfair haunt was transformed into a Sicilian sensation with flowers, food and music filling the room. After dinner, guests Lady Violet Manners, Lady Kitty Spencer, Meredith Ostrum and Alice Naylor-Leyland were treated to Beccaria's fashion show, the true highlight being LED tiaras twinkling away atop the models' heads.

I have been reading about the secrets of a happy life after work, and I must admit than none of them say, "I should have worked harder, should have increased my list of accomplishments or should have won more arguments." They say "be yourself". Focus on making life better for you and those around you; build great friendships and love more. Oh well, keeping these in mind, and as I look around me, I see more than ever that the world is obsessed about the need for exceptional performance, particularly in times of unprecedented instability, with perceived reduced resources and worldwide competitiveness at an all-time high. Our organization is no different—our way forward is all about exceptional high performance. But, as we go forward, keep my first few sentences in mind.
So where do you go from here? My brain's decided that there are two dimensions that drive exceptional performance. The first is personal performance. To be the best we can be, each of us needs to plan, develop and perform at higher levels of excellence. A good example of this is Olympians, who work obsessively to sharpen their talent and achieve their goals.
How do they do it? They focus on the goal. They continuously improve their skills and sharpen their competencies. They don't settle for less. They are never distracted by the environment they find themselves in, regardless of how adverse it is to achieving their goal. They turn the negatives into positives and take advantage of the conditions they are in and harness them to work for them instead of being victims. Think of these incredible Kenyan runners who run in life-crushing temperatures and use their environment to develop the stamina that fuels high performance and produces world-class runners, year in and year out. The integrity of your performance should never be negatively impacted by the environment in which you find yourself, however dark it seems or is. On the contrary, like a candle in the dark, its performance is increased as the darkness deepens.
The other dimension that drives exceptional performance is the capacity to work in a team. All great performances come from teams! No one human being, however talented, brilliant or deluded enough to think they can go it alone, will ever succeed in the long term if they don't understand teamwork. It's the power of a team that makes it happen. As a service organization, it's even more critical to work in teams because we need to master working with each other and with partners, both in the private and public sectors.
People who like to work alone, irrespective of how skilled, will never be as efficient as those who know how to work with others. People who think they know better than the team remind me of the solider who is out of step with his fellow marching soldiers and believes that they are all out of step, not him. I believe that behind every great business success story there is a great team and behind every great failure there is an individual who thought he could go it alone! Exceptional high performers harmonize their personal performance with those other performers on the team and, together, they produce the high performing team where all success resides. As our Kevin Radford keep repeating, "We may not have it all together, but together we have it all". It's all about the team. So, let's practice this together.
I am not saying it's natural or easy, but that, like everything else in life, it takes practice. It's really no mystery; an exceptional high performance is a union of an exceptional personal performance with an exceptional capacity to work with others in a team. So, in the end, it's really up to each and every one of us to make the choice and, on a daily basis, fortify our personal professionalism and practice working with others no matter what group they belong to. As we do that, we are building our organization and powering it on its way forward.


"Living Witness: Historic Trees of Texas (Texas A&M University Press, Spring, 2012) is a beautiful tribute to the natural heritage of the Lone Star State. Storyteller, Ralph Yznaga, celebrates the strong connections between Texans and their trees. His purpose is to share and preserve the rich history of Texas and its irreplaceable natural wonders. Inspired by the old Texas Forest Service book, Famous Trees of Texas, Yznaga has captured the continuing attachment we have to these magnificent reminders of our culture and history. Stunning images, stories, a detailed map, and driving directions to thirty-seven famous (and infamous) trees help us appreciate how entwined the lives of people and trees are.
Trees in the book include The Treaty Oak, memorialized in Texas lore as a meeting place for Native Americans and also as the site of Stephen F. Austin's first boundary treaty with local Indians; The Burnt Oak, standing witness to the dramatic events leading up to the Battle of the Alamo, one of the largest known specimens of Quercus virginiana var. fusiformis; The Sam Houston Kissing Oak, said to occupy the location of a Houston campaign speech near San Marcos, where the "Old Hero" kissed local young women who presented him with a flag; The Great Goose Island Tree, believed to be more than a thousand years old; and many others.


Here We Go – The battle of Eastern Conference titans gets underway on Thursday night at Verizon Center when the Capitals host the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinal series between the two teams.
The NHL's very own official Instagram feed was lazy enough to pimp the tired and hackneyed "Sid vs. Ovi" storyline on the morning of Game 1, but there is far more to this series than two guys whose careers began at the same time (thanks to an owner-orchestrated lockout, by the way) and who happened to be among the best players in the game for the last decade.
The Caps and Penguins played five times during the regular season, and they combined to score 29 goals in those contests. Only one of those goals came off the stick of Crosby or Ovechkin, and it was the last of the 29 Crosby's overtime game-winner in the final meeting between the two teams on April 7.
That's what sets hockey apart from golf and tennis, if you hadn't noticed. It's two teams playing against one another, as Sullivan sagely points out. Both teams have star power up and down their lineup, so it's sort of silly to pick two guys out and make the series about them.
Hoping To Go – Caps defenseman Brooks Orpik missed the last three games of the first-round series against Philadelphia after suffering an upper body injury in Game 3 of that series. Orpik has been practicing with his teammates this week but hasn't yet been given the green light to play tonight against his former team, the Penguins.
His availability for tonight's game may be a game time decision.
Taylor Chorney came off the ice earliest after Thursday's morning skate while Mike Weber lingered longer on the ice, so Chorney would be the likely fill-in in the event that Orpik is not quite ready to go yet.
Caps defenseman Karl Alzner was not on the ice for either of Washington's practice sessions this week, but those were characterized as maintenance days. He took the ice for Thursday's optional morning skate.
Vezina Nominee – Holtby was named on Wednesday night as one of the league's three nominees for the 2015-16 Vezina Trophy, awarded annually to the league's best netminder. The league's general managers are tasked with voting for the award, and the winner will be announced at the league's annual awards show in Las Vegas in June, after the completion of the playoffs.
Holtby tied Martin Brodeur's record for most wins (48) in a season, and suffered only nine regulation setbacks in 66 games started. He also fashioned a 2.20 GAA and a .922 save pct.
"I think for him, other than the recognition," says Trotz, "it's validating what he's been doing as a goalie, the adjustments we asked him to make as a goaltender to enhance what he does really well. And that goes to [goaltending coach] Mitch [Korn], not me. And them working together, him having an open mind and them working together. And then having obvious talents to go with all that.
Special Delivery – Not much separates the Caps and the Pens on paper, so the team performing the best on special teams in this series might be able to carve out at least a slight edge for itself as the series wears on.
Pittsburgh's power play is operating at a 38.1% efficiency rate in the playoffs, tops in the NHL. Washington's extra-man success rate of 29.6% is third in the league. Both clubs have also been excellent on the other side of the special teams coin. The Capitals rank second and the Penguins are fourth in the league among all playoff teams in penalty killing efficiency.
For the fourth straight season and the sixth time in the last eight seasons, Washington finished the campaign with one of the league's top five power play units.
"They're one of the best power plays in the league," says Sullivan of Washington's extra-man unit, "so it's going to be a big challenge for us.
"I think it starts with our own discipline, that we don't give their power play too many opportunities to be the difference. But when the opportunity does come, our penalty kill has to find ways to get it done. We have some ideas on how we think we want to defend against them, and we'll do our best to limit their opportunities. They're a tough power play in the sense that they have a lot of threats. So it's not that easy to key on any one particular threat, because there are multiple threats with the look that they present.
During the regular season, Pittsburgh finished 16 th overall in power play prowess with an 18.4% extra-man success rate. The Penguins were 30-4-4 during the regular season in games in which they scored on the power play, including a perfect 16-0-0 in their last 16 games of the season in which they managed an extra-man tally. The Pens were 18-22-4 when they were blanked on the power play.
Against the Rangers in the first round of the 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Pens went 8-for-21 (38.1%) with the extra man. They scored at least one power-play goal in each of the five games of the series.
"They've got some tremendous players back there obviously with [Evgeni] Malkin and Crosby," says Trotz. "Those guys make phenomenal plays; they make plays through people. [They have] Letang on the back end and snipers like Kessel. They have multiple weapons, they really do. They've got a net presence in Hornqvist who is very good, and I know him very well.
"And they've got multiple people who can function in a power play setting and be very efficient in it. It shows in their stats; I think they're [No.] 1 or 2 right now in the playoffs. So that is going to be a concern because their numbers prove that it should be a concern, just as our power play's numbers are a concern to them I'm sure. But they have multiple weapons that they use that are probably a little different than Philly's power play.


I don't think there's much we can do accept keep protesting and start to accept they will come for the rest of us next. I had it with a friend who's against immigration, the next day I wasn't sure what to do or think. But we keep going, because if we compromise our values everything is lost.
NP we all need the encouragement to keep going and know we aren't completely wrong, or course that's all à matter of opinion. But I think having compassion for others is part of being a human being. Cooperation is what kick-started bits of civilisation.
@ekansa I think you're right about that. Some people are sufficiently brainwashed by the media that they can no longer see glaring injustices happening right in front of them.
If you think it's worth it you could continue talking with your uncle about this. His defensive commends suggest that he's trying to protect his carefully internalized media narrative from the impingement of reality.
Statism and the belief in sacrosanct borders and unquestionable laws does a lot of damage to some people's minds.
I don't know. Short term: vote and volunteer. Long term: 1) people are hurting and will blame others for it. Fix that. 2) Reduce segregation. Integration is key.
The best I have for now.
Also (and not sure if it will work): less logos and ethos in the arguments. More pathos. Make it personal.

Geiger es un cráter de impacto situado en la cara oculta de la Luna. Se encuentra al suroeste de la llanura amurallada del mucho más grande cráter Keeler, y un poco más hacia el noreste de la gran llanura amurallada de Gagarin. Al sur se halla el cráter Cyrano.

Se trata de una formación de cráter no del todo simétrica, con pequeñas protuberancias externas a lo largo del norte y noreste. El borde hacia el sureste está peor formado que en el resto del brocal. La pared interior norte es más extensa que en otros lugares, ocupando alrededor de un tercio del suelo interior, relativamente llano y caracterizado por las huellas de unos diminutos cráteres.

Por convención estos elementos son identificados en los mapas lunares poniendo la letra en el lado del punto medio del cráter que está más cerca de Geiger.
