KIND Becomes First Snack Company to Commit to Exclusively So
|Aug 25| 16 min read
NEW YORK, Aug. 25, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, KIND Healthy Snacks (KIND) announced its commitment to become the first snack company to exclusively source its almonds from bee-friendly farmland across the globe by 2025. Almonds are the lead ingredient in most of KIND's 80+ products and the company's number one ingredient by both volume and spend. By collaborating directly with farmers, suppliers, researchers and other leading brands, KIND aims to significantly expand the usage of bee-friendly practices among almond farmers. As a baseline, KIND is expecting its almond suppliers to reserve 3-5% of their farmland for dedicated pollinator habitat to support bees, butterflies and other pollinators. In addition, KIND has worked with its suppliers to eliminate any use of neonicotinoids and chlorpyrifos, two pesticide treatments that are thought to be harmful to pollinators.
"We have been energized and inspired by the leadership demonstrated by some of our peers and partners to more actively protect pollinators. We are also incredibly proud that many of our almond suppliers have led the way, proving that incorporating more bee-friendly practices is not just good for pollinators, but also good for business," said Daniel Lubetzky, KIND's Founder and Executive Chairman. "But we can do more to make these practices central to the way the almond industry does business. While we know we can't do it alone, we are proud to lend our voice and scale to call for this much needed change."
California currently produces the vast majority of the world's almonds, with nearly 1.53 million acres dedicated to almond orchards.1 However, only a small fraction of that acreage – estimated at less than 20,000 acres – is verified as bee-friendly. In setting this ambition, KIND, which sources 1-2% of the world's almonds, hopes to significantly increase the availability of almonds grown on bee-friendly farmland. Bees are critical to the production of a variety of nutritious foods, pollinating about a third of the food supply.2
"This commitment from KIND to increase pollinator habitat on almond orchards will provide substantial, long-term environmental benefits for soil health, water retention and regional biodiversity in California's Central Valley," said Daniel Kaiser, Director of Conservation Strategies at Environmental Defense Fund. "This initiative is just the type of supply chain signal that can facilitate farmer adoption of practices that will bolster the resilience of their orchards."
Research suggests a variety of factors are impacting bee health, including poor nutrition due to unvaried habitats and pesticide exposure.3 In the last several years, interest in protecting pollinators has gained significant momentum among the food industry, including the creation of farm-level verification and certification programs that help to increase pollinator habitat and restrict pesticide use. As the marketplace for bee-friendly almonds further develops, KIND will rely on a hybrid approach, using both the currently available certification and verification programs, as well as exploring new methods, to validate its suppliers' practices.
"KIND's global commitment to ensure all their almonds come from pollinator-friendly farms shows that industry can make substantial steps to protect pollinators at scale," said Simon Potts, Professor of Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services at the University of Reading, UK and co-chair of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services' Global Pollinator Assessment. "This move will not only benefit the environment, but also growers and consumers."
The KIND Foundation will also make a $150,000 investment in the Williams Lab at the University of California, Davis to help answer critical questions about bee health and track the efficacy of these farm-level improvements. "As an agricultural community, we need to make real change to ensure long-term bee health. KIND's commitment to bee-friendly practices in its supply chain is the sort of actionable approach that will move the dial toward more sustainable practices industry-wide," said Neal Williams, Professor of Entomology at the University of California, Davis. "To pair this commitment with support from The KIND Foundation for research is forward-looking and shows an understanding of how to promote further practical innovation to benefit bees."
Water scarcity is another key issue facing California almond farmers. The almond farmer community in the United States, led by the Almond Board of California, has successfully reduced the amount of water used to grow a pound of almonds by 33% in the last two decades4 and is committed to further reducing that figure by an additional 20% leading up to 2025.5 KIND's suppliers and their farmers have set new standards for water conservation through sophisticated irrigation systems and water management technologies used to promote healthy growth and minimize tree stress. These practices help to increase yield at harvest, use water more efficiently and identify risk to crops in real time.
This announcement coincides with two other milestones for KIND. The company recently signed the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's New Plastics Economy Global Commitment. In line with the Foundation's vision for a circular economy for plastic, KIND will aspire to reach 100% recyclability, compostability, or reusability across all its plastic packaging by 2025, while also reducing its use of single-use plastic overall.
Additionally, by the end of 2020, KIND will purchase enough renewable energy credits to cover their US offices and manufacturing sites and in 2021 will begin to integrate renewable energy sources into its direct operations.

Q: MongoDB update nested objects in array I am stuck at this issue since three days. I need to update nested objects in Array. To make it more complex my Array is itself nested in object where key is to be created dynamically when ever user adds more category. I am stuck with two problems:

*

*How to create category dynamically in queries?(passing value by reference is giving me a syntax error)

*How to update a specific Array item based on some filters

My Document in Mongodb which is to be updated.Object keys internet and electricity has to be dynamically created
For problem A I have resorted to hardcode the category and move on
    switch (category) {
                case 'internet':
                    qry = User.findOneAndUpdate({username: obj.username}, {$push: {"data.internet": newBill}});
                    break;
                case 'electricity':
                    qry = User.findOneAndUpdate({username: obj.username,}, {$push: {"data.electricity": newBill}});
                    break;
                case 'water':
                    qry = User.findOneAndUpdate({username: obj.username}, {$push: {"data.water": newBill}});
                    break;
                case 'gas':
                    qry = User.findOneAndUpdate({username: obj.username}, {$push: {"data.gas": newBill}});
                    break;
                default:

                    break;
            }

After the category is created I dont want the objects to be duplicate within, so I use DAY & Year as id to match with the intention to overwrite if a duplicate value is inserted. I have tried multiple ways to update but none is working. Please advice, a mongoDb expert needed

console.log("duplicate qry")
            switch (category) {
                case 'internet':
                    qry = User.findOneAndUpdate({username: obj.username}, {$push: {"data.internet": newBill,$position: index}});
                    break;
                case 'electricity':
                    qry = User.updateOne({username: obj.username, month:newBill.month, year:newBill.year}, {$set: {"data.electricity.$": newBill}});
                    console.log("Inside db case "+index)
                    break;
                case 'water':
                    qry = User.findOneAndUpdate({username: obj.username}, {$push: {"data.water": newBill,$position: index}});
                    break;
                case 'gas':
                    qry = User.findOneAndUpdate({username: obj.username}, {$push: {"data.gas": newBill,$position: index}});
                    break;
                default:

                    break;
            }
        }

Keen's Cheddar is a raw milk Cheddar made at Moorhaves, Wincanton in Somerset. The first Keen's Cheddar was produced in 1889; the Keen family continues to own and operate the dairy to this day. The cheese has won several awards – for instance, it has twice won the "Best Cheddar" prize during the World Cheese Awards held in London.The Cheddar is round; can weigh 27, 14 or 1.5 kg; has a hard texture; and a nutty, slightly spicy taste.
Keen's Cheddar is produced from raw cow's milk. All the milk used comes exclusively from the farm's cows, where the animals are fed with great care to ensure that specific Keen' taste in the final product. Rennet is used to create the coagulation. The curd thus obtained is stirred, cut, salted and then pressed. The cheese is wrapped following the traditional method of cloth wrapping in order to shape it and to develop the rind. Keen's Cheddar takes between 12 and 18 months to mature.


Senran Kagura: Peach Ball will be coming to Nintendo Switch in North America and Europe this (Northern) summer, courtesy of XSEED and Marvelous, respectively. North America will see a limited physical release as well as a digital launch, whereas European countries will only receive a digital release.
There's a long backstory to the title. A mad scientist name Haruka is up to her usual tricks again, creating experiments with unknown effects. The local arcade is her laboratory, and she stores her gear in the bathroom. She accidentally infects five of her friends, causing them to mentally become animals.
The one way to prevent these human animals from going cuckoo is to whack them repeatedly with the Peach Ball. Which happens to fit in a pinball table. You see where I'm going with this. Let's be real, the story doesn't really matter too much. They had us at Senran Kagura + pinball.
Mortal Kombat XI has a brand new character. A... tax collector?
Well, there's certainly nothing more horrific than a tax collector, so the newest Mortal Kombat XI character, Kollector, makes a great deal of sense, I guess. A fierce ally of Shao Khan, the Kollector was so corrupt that on Shao Khan's death, he found himself on the wrong side of Kotal Kahn, and his solution to avoiding being executed is to... rip the innards out of everything that he comes across.
Warner Bros. has released a trailer for this new character - a four-armed monstrosity that makes good use of all four arms. As usual, the trailer also features one of the character fatalities, and as usual, this Kollector looks like he's competing with the others for the most brutally effective fatality.
A scrappy little fighter, this dude. MK XI is going to be absolutely gruesome, and releases on April 23 across PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC (Via Steam), and Nintendo Switch.
Wastelands picks up a few months after the events of Episode 2. Sean and Daniel are living on the fringes of society, befriending drifters and runaways before becoming embroiled in the illegal California cannabis trade. Eep.
Episode 3: Wastelands will release on May 9. The fourth episode is due out August 22, and the fifth and final on December 3. Life Is Strange 2 is available for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
June 27 is the day that people in Japan will get to play Samurai Shodown - the newest entry in SNK's popular fighting game series. That release will be for PS4 and Xbox One only, with arcade, PC and Nintendo Switch ports to come at later dates. Out here in the west, the only release date we have is "June", but I wouldn't expect to be playing the game before the Japanese, so assume that the English release will come some time around the 27nd.
Samurai Shodown will have three fighters new to the series, as well as plenty of returning favourites. I must admit that I'm not entirely sold on the use of 3D models for the characters - earlier Samurai Shodown titles used the most beautifully animated sprites - but the game's backgrounds are gorgeous, in keeping with tradition.
If you've never played a Samurai Shodown before, expect this one to be the most accessible and interesting in the series to date. It's always been a series that has flown under the radar, but with this latest title, it does look like SNK is pushing for it to have the same prestige as the likes of King of Fighters.

There are two ways to refresh your training as a forklift instructor in the North East, the first is a three day course which does not allow for a lot of time for refreshing knowledge, this is most suitable to those who instruct on a daily basis meaning they are low on time but confident of passing the final examination without the refresher courses.
The five day re-registration course is for those who are at the opposite end of the spectrum, training infrequently and without the confidence in taking the final exam without a forklift trainer refresher course.
RTITB Examination of Instructor Associated Knowledge (Approx.20 minutes). A minimum of 80% must be achieved to pass this element. This examination is usually carried out on the final day of the course and is conducted by an independent RTITB Examiner.
All 3 elements must be successfully completed to achieve an overall pass and re-qualify as a Lift Truck Instructor.
Successful candidates can then register on the RTITB National Register of Instructors, 'The Professional Register', for a period of 5 years.
* Please note previously registered RTITB Instructors with an expiry date of over 12 months ago will need to attend the 5 day course.
If you are interested in Forklift Trainer Refresher Courses training, please get in touch using your preferred method and we'll be available to discuss your options.


Pollinators are responsible for 1 out of 3 bites of food we eat! Pollinators- butterflies, bees, and moths-also help repopulate plants and add diversity to the environment, making an ecosystem more resilient. Unfortunately, pollinators are in decline. Gardeners are crucial to helping reverse this trend. The simple action of sowing seeds is powerful. It can create habitats that protect and feed pollinators, strengthening their population.
Plant flowers: Provide food for pollinators by sowing flowers, especially native varieties.
Plant diversity: Plant a diversity of bloom times, colors, and heights. By staggering bloom times, you provide a reason for pollinators to call your garden home throughout the growing season. Some pollinators are very small and need very small, open flowers in order to access the pollen or nectar. Sow a diversity of flower shapes and sizes, usually simpler (vs. double petal) varieties of flowers work for more species.
Provide water: In your water feature, create small islands with stones where pollinators can land, and climb in and out.
Pass on pesticides: Look for organic ways to block pests, disrupt their life cycle, and invite their predators. Integrated Pest Management (IMP) techniques utilize simpler solutions, such as using a fabric row cover to block pests. Sowing varieties like alyssum or allowing dill to flower, both attract beneficial and predatory insects.
In particular, Monarch butterfly populations have dropped by 90% in recent years. Researchers believe the decline is due to several key factors: milkweed plants are more scarce (a crucial food source for monarch caterpillars), habitat loss including nectar plants for adults, and pesticide use. Monarch butterflies travel an average of 3,000 miles during their annual migration-that takes a lot of energy!
You can increase their habitats by sowing diverse plants that flower specifically during migration. Be sure to include milkweed. Milkweed is the only food plant for monarch caterpillars. Adding native flowering plants will generally provide the highest quality nectar and will the easiest for you to care grow. . Perennials can take a year to flower, unless started indoors very early (10 to 12 weeks before your average last spring frost) and 3 to 5 years to achieve their full size, so integrating some annuals into the mix will provide nectar in the meantime. Deadheading (removing spent blooms) can extend the flowering period of many plants.
Which milkweed is best for my region?
Botanical Interests offers four milkweed varieties: Butterfly Milkweed, Irresistable Blend, Showy, and Common. Check the maps below to find which variety is native to your region.

Madame Bovary é um filme franco-teuto-italiano de 1991, dirigido por Claude Chabrol, sendo baseado no livro homônimo do romancista Gustave Flaubert e estrelado pela atriz Isabelle Huppert. O filme situa-se entre a tradição da nouvelle vague e um filme de época do cinema comercial estadunidense e britânico. Foi produzido pela
MK2.

Antes de ser filmado por Chabrol, o prolixo romance de Flaubert, já tinha sido levado às telas pelo francês Jean Renoir (1933) e pelo norte-americano Vincente Minnelli (1949), ambos cineastas apreciados na revista de crítica cinematográfica Cahiers du Cinema, onde Chabrol trabalhou antes de atuar como diretor ao lado de nomes como Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Eric Rohmer e Jacques Rivette, que anos mais tarde lançariam conjuntamente o manifesto do novo cinema francês.

O drama também foi revisto por Agustina Bessa-Luís em seu Vale Abraão, que inspirou o filme de mesmo nome do centenário diretor português Manoel de Oliveira em 1993.

Sinopse
Charles Bovary, um médico viúvo do interior da França, se casa com Emma, uma moça campesina que estudou no Convento das Ursulinas e vive entediada com o mundo interiorano e da pequena burguesia das províncias da Normandia. Emma passava dias lendo livros de autoria de Walter Scott e Voltaire, porém com as restrições do marido e da sogra, acaba tendo como válvula de escape para seu enfado  os amantes Léon e Rodolphe com quem passa tardes a fio, enquanto seu marido dedica-se integralmente aos doentes e convida para os jantares frequentemente o boticário Homais, com quem vem criando amizade que será fatal para o casal.

Do you speak Czech corona-language?
Prague, Czech Republic – The Covid-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on many aspects of our lives, making it excruciatingly difficult, if not impossible, to find one domain which hasn't been affected in one way or another by the coronavirus crisis. czech language
A mirror of our times, language itself has evolved over the past several months and new words were invented. In the Czech Republic, a mobile application seeks to bring them on the map and help people, including foreigners and non-native speakers, learn the Czech corona-language.
The Project Čestina 2.0, created by Martin Kavka to reveal the meaning and history of Czech words and slang, has joined forced with the Flashcard Vocabulary Miner app to track down, identify and list all the new coronavirus-related terms and neologisms that appeared over the past few months in the Czech Republic.
From the weight you might have gained during lockdown to the people you meet in a store during the Covid-19 pandemic or the start of the "coronormalization", the project has created two specific corona-themed word lists to help you "speak corona" and impress your friends at your next dinner party.
"Coronavirus affected everyone, so we wanted to include expats because the life of the Czech language touches the lives of half a million foreigners in Czechia, too", said Zuzana Papayova, the coordinator of Vocabulary Miner.
If you're watching your diet, you can justify it by mentioning your "korosádlo", or the weight you might have gained during the coronavirus pandemic. Or as most anti-coronavirus restrictions relax, treat yourself to a "koronafest", which describes all the events with limited attendance.
But our personal favourite: "deprymulovaný", a little linguistic nugget to describe the distress caused by the Covid-19 restrictions and measures introduced or announced by the Czech Republic's chief epidemiologist, the now famous Roman Prymula.
To be completely corona-fluent in Czech, follow Vocabulary Miner's Instagram profile to keep track of all the new words being added to the already rich Czech language.

PSL baseball: Ford routs East English for East-West title
Perry A. Farrell
It was a bad day for two-time defending Public School League East Division baseball champion East English Village.
Really bad. Horrible. Unthinkable.
The Bulldogs recorded only one out in the second inning while 14 runs scored. They changed pitchers, but to no avail as Detroit Henry Ford avenged back-to-back runner-up finishes to win the East vs. West battle, 20-4.
"It feels too good, I can't really express how good I feel right now," said second baseman Javonte Mitchell, who had three hits for the Trojans. "There were only three guys and myself back from last year. It's a good group. As long as we stay positive, we'll be OK."
Coach Curtis Rogers finally saw his team break through after two disappointing second-place finishes. Ford is 11-4; East English Village is 10-2.
"It's a good feeling to finally get one," Rogers said.
Ford broke out early, getting a run-scoring single from Mitchell and a two-run single by Trevon Williams for a 3-0 lead. The Bulldogs couldn't keep the Trojans from stealing bases early.
Deondre Phillips hit a two-run double, and when Donald Renfroe's grounder was turned into an error by the first baseman, the Trojans had a 6-0 lead in the first inning.
East English scored a run in the bottom of the first on a wild pitch that plated Fred Jones. The Bulldogs threatened to score more after Melvin Coleman's fly ball was misplayed, leaving runners at second and third.
Curron Suttle-Neal scored on a wild pitch, but Coleman was cut down at the plate.
Ford used two infield singles and an error to score its seventh run to lead off the second, making it 7-2.
Alton Dawson hit an RBI triple to make it 8-2.
That was it for Coleman, who was relieved by Suttle-Neal. Coleman took over at catcher.
Jaleel Willis-Brady drove in a run with a single over the left side of the infield to increase the lead to 9-2.
Antaun Carter bounced a ball through the infield and past the leftfielder, scoring two runs for an 11-2 bulge.
The 12th run for Ford was a dandy. Nilon Hughes struck out, but the catcher lost the ball, allowing Carter to score. Suttle-Neal threw wildly to first, allowing the runner to get in safely.
Then, with one out in the second, Darryl Champion stole home to give his team a 15-2 lead.
Willis-Brady singled and scored on a three-base error. The two runners in front of him also scored as the lead swelled to 18-2.
By the time the Bulldogs managed to get the final two outs, the Trojans were ahead, 20-2.
"Once you put the bat on the ball," Rogers said. "I have a good group of guys. I have five seniors. ... They started out slow, but they picked up well at the end."

When I first came to that quiet corner of the Nile Delta I had expected to find on that most ancient and most settled of soils a settled and restful people. I couldn't have been more wrong. The men of the village had all the busy restlessness of airline passengers in a transit lounge. Many of them had worked and travelled in the shiekdoms of the Persian Gulf, others had been in Libya and Jordan and Syria, some had been to the Yemen as soldiers, others to Saudi Arabia as pilgrims, a few had visited Europe: some of them had passports so thick they opened out like ink-blackened concertinas.
And none of this was new: their grandparents and ancestors and relatives had travelled and migrated too, in much the same way as mine had, in the Indian subcontinent – because of wars, or for money and jobs, or perhaps simply because they got tired of living always in one place. You could read the history of this restlessness in the villagers' surnames: they had names which derived from cities in the Levant, from Turkey, from faraway towns in Nubia; it was as though people had drifted here from every corner of the Middle East. The wanderlust of its founders had been ploughed into the soil of the village: it seemed to me sometimes that every man in it was a traveller.
Amitav Ghosh – 'The Imam and the Indian,' Granta, 20 (Winter) 1986.
Amitav Ghosh, the author of In an Antique Land, Sea of Poppies, and many other celebrated and popular re-imaginings of the Arab, African, and Asian worlds, describes a fretwork of economic and cultural relations which, then and now, compel us to rethink the ways we understand the world. His village in the Nile Delta bears all the traces of ancient and contemporary connectivity which forms the seam of this issue of ART AFRICA. Titled ARAFRASIA, its thematic focus takes the Arab world, Africa, and Asia as its nexus. Between these worlds, and the West, it asks us to reappraise received relations of power, influence, and cultural genealogy.
In stark contrast to the prevailing reactive perception, after Samuel P. Huntington's controversial text, The Clash of Civilisations, we seek to reaffirm an age-old and ever-present productive interface. Against the reversion to parochialism, nativism, or populism, we celebrate connectivity. A village in the Nile Delta is no less inclusive than, say, the cities of Beijing, Paris, Dubai, Istanbul, Chonqqing or Mombasa. Across the earth we find a "busy restlessness." For as the American ethnographer, James Clifford, reminds us, "Cultural centres, discrete regions and territories, do not exist prior to contacts, but are sustained through them, appropriating and disciplining the restless movements of people and things."
Dubai's Global Art Forum – GAF – conceived by Shumon Basar as Commissioner, with Antonia Carver and Oscar Guardiola-Rivera as Co-directors, affirms "the relationship between the economy of goods and the ideas which constantly shape who and where we are," as does the panoply of exhibitions ancient and modern dedicated to African art in Paris, or Documenta 14, held in Kassel and across Athens, the centre of "the democratic ideals of classical antiquity" and "the crisis of contemporary austerity," and Chinafrika, a project supported by the Goethe Institut and headed by Jochen Becker.
Everywhere one turns today, one is confronted by the rewiring of received notions of value. Against Marine Le Pen's National Front, Paris chooses to welcome Africa, against the latent European perception that Greece has failed its cultural legacy, Documenta 14 under the directorship of Adam Szymczyk seeks to address "global financial and political turmoil" and "the refugee crisis and the entire crisis of Europe." While Dubai's Global Art Forum – GAF – re-envisions not only the trade in goods but "love, money, belief, progress, politics, time."

The art world everywhere is grappling with these seismic shifts. As the German critic Hans-Ulrich Obrist has pointed out, we are dealing with "a plurality of temporalities across space, a plurality of experience and pathways through modernity that continues to this day, on a truly global scale … We are now living through a period in which the centre of gravity is transferring to new worlds." So while the world might still appear to be Western-centric, the focus is shifting. The West after all was not always the centre of the world. As the Swiss historian Andre Gunder Frank reminded us in ReOrient: Global Economy in the Asian Age, "it was the world that made Europe." Frank is alluding here to the magnetic hold which the East had upon Europe – the lure of trade.
A map which pictures the spread of Islam from the 7th century AD tells a very different story of globalisation. Obrist's realisation, shared by many, that "the centre of gravity is transferring to new worlds" should surely also remind us that ancient hold remains very much with us today. The contemporary clash in belief systems is but a symptom of an older conflict which turns not only on trade but on spiritual and cultural hegemonies. Therefore, when speaking after Clifford of "the new world order of mobility" we are also, necessarily, speaking of an ancient one. As Ghosh tells us, in a village in the Nile Delta, people – men in particular – have always been on the move, their thick passports "like ink-blackened concertinas."
The misconception, dangerously prevalent today, assumes "Dwelling … to be the local ground of collective life, travel a supplement." It assumes that "roots always precede routes." This seductive and paranoid misconception now fosters cessation, privatisation, and the relatively recent fiction of nationalism. Hence the catastrophe that is Brexit, the botched absurdity that is Trump's America. "Stasis and purity are asserted – creatively and violently – against historical forces of movement and contamination," writes Clifford. A position he counters by stating that "Cultural action, the making and remaking of identities, takes place in the contact zones, along the policed and transgressive intercultural frontiers of nations, peoples, locales." It is these 'contact zones' which occupy the focus of this issue of ART AFRICA.
Long before the first Portuguese caravel rounded the Cape of Good Hope in the 1500s, the Arab world controlled the Suez and the Silk Road. But as Shumon Basar has noted, the routes devised for the movement of goods, capital, labour, were also the routes for the movement of ideas and concepts. Economics is inseparable from culture, methods, tastes, values, which define our lives. To know our ever shifting present, therefore, requires that we also understand what Basar terms the "blind spots in the past." But given the uncertainty, anxiety, fear, which afflicts us today, it also means, after Frank, that "we are in dire need of an alternative Perspective of the World for the new world (dis)order in the making."
While the focus of this issue of ART AFRICA is centred on the Arabic, African, and Asian worlds – ARAFRASIA – it in no way denies the ongoing significance of the West. What this issue brokers is alternative perspectives. For GAF "the infrastructure of trade is also the geography of imagination and invention." What then are the new insights we can learn about our present, our past, and our future? And what role does the art world play in generating these new insights? As Rachel Spencer notes in the Financial Times, GAF has "come to be recognised as a hub of ideas that has helped to fuel the development of the contemporary art scene in the Gulf." That scene, however, harnesses a more far-ranging network comprising Europe, Africa, and the East – the global North
and South.
At the epicentre of an ancient trading world, the Gulf can be seen as assuming a mediating role "between hemispheres," as "a crossroads of different worlds," a crossroads which Europe belatedly joined. Here the record of the great traveller, Ibn Battuta who travelled three times the distance covered by Marco Polo – between 1325 and 1354 – reveals just how deeply connected the worlds of Africa, Arabia, and Asia have proven to be. As Albert Hourani notes, Ibn Battuta's journey took him from "his native city of Tangier in Morocco to Mecca by way of Syria; then to Baghdad and south-western Iran; to Yemen, east Africa, Oman and the Gulf; to Asia Minor, the Caucasus, and southern Russia; to India, the Maldive Islands and, by way of Malaysia and Indonesia to China, back to his native Maghrib, and from there to Andalus and the Sahara." The trade in goods and knowledge was inseparable, and remains so.
If we are to devise new perspectives for the way we live in the world today, the way we transact, connect, exchange, we must therefore also remember that history is a construct. To further their interests at home and abroad "Europe invented historians and then made good use of them," the French maritime historian Fernand Braudel reminds us. It is not surprising therefore that our vision of the world has been shaped by the West.
History however is being rewritten, new perspectives are afoot. It is widely conceded that "the world that made Europe" was centred on the Indian Ocean and its rim. Regarded as "the cradle of globalisation," the Indian Ocean profoundly shaped the connected cultures which flank the ocean's shores – East Africa, the Arab world, the Indian subcontinent, South East Asia, and the Far East. And here the request made to Ibn Battuta, by Imam Borhan Oddin El Aara in Alexandria, that he visit his brothers in India, Sindia, and China – traders all – reaffirms this age-old connection.
Through the focus on trade – in particular trade in the art world – this issue seeks to sustain the value of a changing imagination and to generate a new way of being in the world, and the making and understanding of art therein.

"Children refugees are dealing with incredibly heavy things"
Whitney Gerdes (IAFR) explains how refugee children "develop a 'new normal' very quickly", but they also "need to be kids". Local churches are very important in that process.

Thousands of refugees are leaving everything behind to look for a better future. There are many children among them, who usually suffer more than adults.
In some European countries, like the UK, they have even become the centre of political debate.
Whitney Gerdes (IAFR) believes that these children "are incredibly hopeful, they are deeply resilient", but "this is their first go-through in life, they are dealing with incredibly heavy, heavy things."
According to Gerdes, local churches play an important role in helping these children. They "need to go to them", organising activities for the children, so that "if their kids are loved, parents are going to see that, and they are going to ask questions, and that is a cool way for the church to breach the gap into adult ministry as well."
Read Whitney Gerdes' full interview below.
Question. What are some issues children refugees face?
Answer. Children are incredibly hopeful, they are deeply resilient, they have this ability to one minute be incredibly silly, and the next moment they might be taken over by the sadness of their world. So I think one of the troubles is that a lot of their issues are masked, you can't see them necessarily, they don't exhibit them. They don't have verbiage or words to describe why they are sad, or what is going on, or why they are struggling in school, or why they don't want to eat, or why they cant sleep.
And they also develop a "new normal" very quickly, far quicker that adults do, so often they don't know that their world is not normal, and there is shame connected to that.
It specially happens during out of classes, or in development stages, they are ripped from their homes, ripped from their families, ripped from their way of doing life, and now put in this place where they don't belong. They don't fit in, and they don't know how to, so I would say that I know adults also suffer greatly, but kids... this is their first go-through in life, they are dealing with incredibly heavy, heavy things.
Usually, there is an interview process, they have to really talk about what they have seen, and that is incredibly difficult for kids, so the drama continues over and over again.
Fitting into a new culture and society, there is so much their parents can't help them with. Because they have never done it, so they are doing it on their own, having to grow up far to quickly.
Q. What activities would you recommend to help children in this context?
A. Certainly, doing language lessons is critical, helping them with the language. But also playing is very important, kids need to be kids, although they have to grow so fast, the beauty of kids is... I think we all have seen the images in refugee camps, everywhere, a soccer game starts, kids play, that is what they do.
So, having organized activities in that realm, helping them to find friends with children of the city, then they can practice language in that setting, and kids are really great when they are given an activity and are just able to do life together.

Q. What do these children need emotionally?
A. Specially kids that maybe are unaccompanied, or their parents have died, or they are with their aunt, or with their relatives; they need adults in their world to show them they are cared for, and they don't have to do the whole world on their own. So, in those settings, having an adult near them, allows them to be a kid for a while, which is unfortunately rare in their world.
Giving them that moment is really cool, and having other national kids is just a sweet way to breach that gap. Because kids are really good with kids, and it is fun to see it.
I have seen it in a classroom setting: students would come in and not speak to adults but tell everything to their fellow students. So, using kids who we trust help them open and feel they are part of something.
Q. Would you recommend churches to get involved with that type of children ministry?
A. Children ministry can take a lot of different ways. It is often easy to think in bringing the child to Sunday school, having him seated, and teach him a Bible lesson, which I think is definitely not the best way to go about it, because we need to go to them.
Children ministry is often opening your doors to them, yes, but also going to where they are. And some of the coolest things I have seen is when you go in, and bring face paint, bring the party to where they are, and they come out. Kids will always come if there is fun, specially if there is food, if there is a soccer ball, they are there. So, churches can start building relationships in that way.
I think consistency is a really important factor, so that kids know "hey, we are going to be here every Tuesday." And they are going to be there every Tuesday, and they are going to bring friends.
In that, conversations are going to happen, parents and families are going to come, and that is when relationships can be developed. Kids are willing to make friends with everybody, but adults are sceptical, they are fearful.
If their kids are loved, parents are going to see that, and they are going to ask questions. And that is a cool way for the church to breach the gap into adult ministry as well, just through the kids. Never think that play isn't good enough, or spiritual enough. It is very spiritual, and its very important for kids.
Whitney Gerdes. / J. Forster
Q. Does one need to be a "professional" to be involved in such a work?
A. You definitely don't need to be professional. That is the beauty, kids are really forgiving, you don't need to speak their language, they love to teach, they love to learn. But one thing that is specially important to know, specially with children refugees, is the trauma aspect.
One thing that can be really traumatizing is physical touch, depending on what happened to the child. So that is something to be aware of, specially us westerners, we come with out arms opened, and hugs. That can be OK sometimes, but for some kids it is really a scary thing.
So let kids lead, don't force children to play. There should be no shame involved. If there is a kid sitting in the corner, invite the child in, but if the child says no, it is OK.
For churches, how I do this? First of all, being aware of where the refugees are, where are they in you city, and going to them. I think in having key community members as well, because you can just show up, and you are this odd person playing a game, and we don't want them to think that.
So, key community members and building trust, I think this is a huge thing. And that is why doing it outside at first is super important, because when you invite someone in, it gets weird. But doing the games out in the open, for everyone to see that what we are doing is OK. We are having fun, developing relationships, developing trust.

Stop Fighting the Good Fight!
We must always remember it is God's plan that counts, not ours. We are tools in His hands, often faulty tools. We are clay to be molded. That is why anything we want to accomplish, is directed according to His schedule, for His purposes. In other words, we don't have to fight the good fight, God is fighting it for us!
Sometimes things look bleak to us humans. We get discouraged, we lose heart. This is sometimes because we forget that all things are possible with God! If He can turn five loaves and two fish into an "all-u-can-eat" buffet for thousands; then He can, and will do whatever is needed, when it is needed, for each of us. We don't have to fight the good fight alone, God is fighting it with us!
We may not recognize God's help at the time, and we may even argue with God, or others about what we think should happen; but we should not. But if we want God to fight the good fight for us, and to be tools in his hands, then we need to accept his will and not question it. Now sometimes we are going to mess this up, maybe we will get angry, or say something we should not say. But we will eventually be brought to our senses and we will be forgiven, if only we ask.
Life may sometimes be a battle, but we do not have to fight it alone. For if we will let go, and let God, he will fight if with us, and for us, and he will win our battles as well. Just not necessarily in the way or in the time frame that we hope he will.


Save the best for last! Don't expect the best new gTLDs like .home and .shop before late 2014!
The Prioritization Draw was held on December 17th 2012 in Los Angeles to assign priority numbers to all new gTLD applications. Each application was assigned a randomly-drawn priority number. These priority numbers will be used to determine the order in which initial evaluation results are released.
There were 108 IDNs with tickets and 1,658 Non-IDNs with tickets in the draw.
There were also 8 IDNs without tickets and 143 Non-IDNs without tickets.
INDs with tickets were first in the draw, Non-IDNs with tickets followed and IDNs and Non-IDNs without tickets came last.
In total there were 1917 applications and 1766 had bought tickets. The complete results can be found here.
I believe that the best case scenario for an uncontested string with a good prioritization number is to go live in mid 2013. The best case scenario for a contested string with a bad prioratization number is to go live at late 2014. That is according to what ICANN has said so far. Most of the strings above more or less fit in the second scenario. .green is a clear winner as it will be a few months ahead of all the other strings from the list above.
Thanks for the explanation, I learned a few things. Over a year to go then for the better ones. And don't forget the many lawsuits that will also drag it out.
Almost 2 years for the better ones and that is the best case scenario.


As the first public School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences (SPPS) in New York State, the University at Buffalo (UB) offers top-ranked programs with an international reputation for scholarly excellence and curricular innovation all at an unmatched value. We are excited to connect with our prehealth and transfer colleagues across the SUNY and CUNY systems, as your students already are aware of the quality of a New York public education.
UB SPPS is available to host your group on campus for an information session and tour of our facilities, or we can come to you. If you have a prehealth club or course, we would be honored to connect with the appropriate coordinators. Consider initiating an affiliation agreement with us, to establish a clear pipeline for your intended Pharmacy students with our prestigious program.
Our Associate Director for Admissions and Advisement, Sara Robinson, invites you to communicate with us to learn more about how we can work together to benefit your students.
Pharmacists are a vital part of the healthcare team and are consistently ranked as one of the most highly respected professionals because of the care and service they provide (according to data by Wirthlin Worldwide and Gallup International). Since pharmacies are often located in common shopping places, pharmacists are very accessible and advise patients without appointments. Pharmacists help improve the health of patients as quickly as possible by choosing the best medicines and helping to avoid side effects based on individual healthcare needs. Pharmacists promote public health, provide services such as immunizations, asthma care, blood pressure monitoring services, cholesterol screening, diabetes disease management, smoking cessation consultation, bone density scans, anticoagulation management clinics, and more. There is a great demand for pharmacists because there is currently a nationwide shortage due to the growth in community pharmacies and other sectors and an increase in the elderly population and the number and use of medications. Upon graduation, students have many career options including working in the community, a hospital, a university, government agencies, pharmaceutical research companies, nursing homes, hospice, and home care. Pharmacists can also choose a specific population to work with such as newborns, geriatrics, and even animals!
Pharmaceutical scientists work hands-on in the laboratory and are instrumental in discovering and developing innovative drugs. They study the body's reaction to a drug and how it's absorbed, distributed, metabolized and eliminated; and how diseases, food, genetics, and other drugs react when a drug is introduced to the body in order to create the best therapy approaches. Professionals in pharmaceutical sciences continue the advances in drug therapy, work in marketing and sales of pharmaceuticals and biomedical devices, work as researchers and professors at universities, and work as scientists for agencies like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
If you're seeking a top-ranked career as a respected health care professional with strengths in science, math and communication, UB pharmacy is the perfect fit!
We are eager to work with you and your students to discuss our programs via phone, webinar, or in-person. Please feel free to contact us to arrange a meeting.

Q: Bioconductor packages Not Installing with biocViews specification in Description section of Package Problem:
I am developing an R package and one of the dependent packages is multtest.
It's only available on Bioconductor as here. I am using devtools to build the package. And, when I run devtools::install() on R console, I would like multtest to automatically install as with my other CRAN packages if it is not already installed. I do know how to install Bioconductor packages manually.
Researched Solutions:
The following links suggest that I should put
biocViews:

in the Description file of the package for automatic installation of the Bioconductor packages.

*

*biocViews: is in the line above Imports: (I am not sure where it is placed matters as much?) and the Bioconductor package to be installed is put under Imports: as here

*biocViews: is in the line above Imports: and the Bioconductor package to be installed is put right after like biocViews: multtest. This exact answer is at the end of a non-voted thread in response to Vivian by Vivekbhr as here
I have also followed up and checked the description file of the packages which rely on Bioconductor as here
Attempted Solutions:
I have followed those research solutions by putting multtest along with biocViews:, below biocViews:, under Imports:. All of them came back with package dependency or package not found errors as in the pictures below.

*

*biocViewsinOneLine

*biocViewsinSeparateLine

*biocViewsunderImports
Then, I manually re-installed multtest and it works. However, I still would like to have the automatic installation capability as mentioned here under the Imports section in Hadley's book as here
Is it possible? Am I misunderstanding something or doing something wrong?
Thank you very much!

A: I have tried your 3rd method, and it could pass the CMD check. Maybe update your devtools?

A: You need to add multtest under Imports in DESCRIPTION.
However, as `multtest' is from Bioconductor link, add to DESCRIPTION
biocViews: Software, BiologicalQuestion


Possible to dump game data from pcsx2 when playing a game?
Name of the thread says it simply.
Longer explanation: Working on a personal project, involving Final Fantasy X, and I'm looking to dump certain game data, primarily the algorithms for attack damage, hit percentage...pretty much the gist of the battle engine, minus it's CTB system. Was hoping maybe that PCSX2 has a RAM dumping feature in it so I can view what files were loaded into the ram, when a battle happens, if the system loads the full algorithms or keeps parts of it, depending on what move is being used at the time.
However, before anyone says that I should look at GameFAQs, I already have, and since it's incomplete, I'm not trusting it to be fully accurate. Now if anyone knows anyone who might have the algorithms in full, or the data, or whatever/may know how the system works, or how Square managed to make it this hard to extract the data straight from the disk, and how to get around it, I'll go that route if RAM dumping is not possible.
Small question did you tried it with the new remastered version? Since that's on PC it should be "easier" to get the files or what you are looking for?

I had considered it...right this minute I'm trying to avoid paying the 30 dollars for it when I already bought the ps4 version. I admit, being stubborn a bit on that, but I figured also it would be a fun learning experience, understanding the inner workings of a ps2 game.
As far as dumping game memory via PCSX2 itself, your options are limited to savestates and blockdumps. For a more interactive view, consider Cheat Engine. Not much else for me to say beyond that.
If you want to get into true reverse engineering, then I would consider using PCSX2's debugger, as this will show you EE and VU instructions, which may be more helpful for analyzing actual algorithms. You could go as far as using a disassembler directly on the ELF, but since the EE had several custom instructions and the VUs were entirely custom, I can't guarantee that a disassembler will be able to decode these instructions, unless of course the author or a plugin developer specifically went out of their way to support these.

Controversial Entrepreneur Sifu is Back with New DeFi Lending Protocol Forked from Aave
Nicholas Otieno Sep 27, 2022 09:55 3 分钟阅读
DefiLlama- a DeFi TVL aggregator, announced on Monday that Sifu, the pseudonymous co-founder of failed Canadian crypto exchange QuadrigaCX, has launched a new decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol called UwU Lend.
UwU Lend is forked from lending giant Aave, a liquidity market that offers depositing and borrowing, DefiLlama stated. Users can borrow against the platform's native token, UWU and an algorithmic stablecoin named Magic Internet Money (MIM). In other words, users earn interest on deposits and pay interest to borrow.
The project went live on Sep. 21 and has already secured $57.5 million in total value locked (TVL). UwU is different from other lending protocols. The DeFi platform accepts collateral not available on other lending protocols like Aave and Compound — users can borrow against tokens like Sifu's own SIFU and the over-collateralized stablecoin MIM.
Why the public finds it difficult to accept Sifu
What makes this report interesting is that Sifu's reappearance comes after a few difficult years following the collapse of QuadrigaCX.
In January, Sifu, whose real name is Michael Patryn, was revealed to be one of the co-founders of a notorious Canadian crypto exchange that defrauded investors of more than $190 million in 2019.
During that time, the pseudonymous treasury manager for decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol, Wonderland, was revealed as Michael Patryn. Wonderland felt the heat after its users revealed its Treasury Head, Michael Patryn, also known as Sifu or 0xSifu.
Wonderland founder Daniele Sestagalli responded to the criticism, stating he was aware of the situation. But he chose to overlook it based on believing that an individual's past does not determine their future. However, his view was not received well by investors, who remained sceptical of Patryn's involvement with the project, especially as his role relates to funding management.
Despite Sestagalli's initial support for Patryn, upon reflection, he later asked Patryn to step down until a community vote determined whether he could stay on. But in early February, Wonderland launched a vote and unanimously passed a decision to remove Sifu from his position as treasurer.
Patryn co-founded Canadian exchange QuadrigaCX, which went bankrupt in 2019 amid suspicious circumstances, including the death of its CEO, Gerald Cotten. QuadrigaCX was founded by Gerald Cotten and Patryn in 2013 and quickly became one of the largest crypto exchanges by trading volumes in Canada. But in 2019, the exchange turned out to be a Ponzi scheme that defrauded investors' crypto funds worth over 190 million in connection to the death of its CEO, Gerald Cotten.
Patryn has changed his name on several occasions to conceal his identity. He has been previously convicted of credit card fraud and pleaded guilty to several related offences in the early 2000s.

Learning Centers are the "bridge" for Metro students moving from high school coursework to college-level coursework. They are designed to ease students into taking college classes, while also giving them opportunities to explore different fields of study (i.e. possible majors and/or career paths). Once students have received Mastery in their 18 core Metro courses (English, Math, Science, Social Studies, etc.), and successfully completed their Gateway Presentation, they are eligible to apply to OSU, Columbus State or Franklin University and begin taking college-level coursework.
The Learning Centers are experiences that combine college coursework and high school coursework, (usually 1 college and 2 or 3 high school classes per semester) that focus on a particular area of study, and lead to a culminating Capstone Research project.
The Capstone Research projects and Internships are done in collaboration with professionals and leaders in their fields of study, and provide students with opportunities to make incredible connections, play a role in cutting-edge research, and may lead to possible paid positions or extended Internships. These opportunities and experiences set the Metro Early College High School students apart from other high school students, who are competing for admission to the same Colleges/Universities, and applying for the same Scholarships.
Students entering their third year at Metro Early College High School (Juniors) typically participate in year-long experiences known as learning centers. These learning centers serve as a way for our students to "wrap-up" their high school curriculum while introducing themselves to college coursework at the same time. Since students do receive college coursework while participating in their learning center, they must meet all of the requirements set forth by each college or university.
Typically, this means that they must have completed 18 high school credits and taken their ACT. Metro offers learning centers in various fields of study: Design is an engineering experience, Bodies is biology/medicine based, Growth is botanical/agriculturally based, and Energy is environmental/policy based. Within the focus of each learning center, students will complete at least two high school classes and two college classes focused on the particular fields of study. The college courses associated with each learning center serves as a great introduction to college level coursework because they are receiving college level instruction, from college faculty, all while receiving the added support of their high school teachers.
Students will also participate in a "real-world" experience where they can apply all of their coursework in an authentic setting. An example of this would be the fact that the Design students participate in the FIRST Robotics competition every January where they actually design, build, wire, and program a large robot. It is the ultimate test of their engineering knowledge. Learning center students will also participate in Capstone Research. During this experience, students are introduced to college level research and how research will play into their college education. Students complete these projects with college faculty and professionals in their particular field of study. Learning centers are a great combination of high school courses, college courses, real-world experiences, and the habits associated with being a successful student at each of these levels. They also serve as a great way to help student's transition from high school into college at an accelerated level and timeframe.

Q: Localizing Windows Phone 7 App I'm having a little trouble getting localized resources files to work on  Windows Phone 7.  Here's what I'm doing:

*

*Create a resource file, say "Strings.resx" (Build Action: Compile)

*Create a key, say "TestKey" with a default value of empty string

*Add a English resource file in the same folder with a value of "some English string": Strings.en-us.resx (Build Action: Embedded Resource)

*Add a Japanese resource file in the same folder with a value of "some Japanese string": Strings.ja-jp.resx (Build Action: Embedded Resource)

In my PC Silverlight, WPF Apps that works fine when I change the Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.  But in the phone I always seem to be getting the value that's in the Strings.resx file - an empty string.
I have tried using the designer generated code and wiring up the resource manager by hand and it does not seem to matter.   Here's my code:
            Type t = typeof(Strings);

            _resourceManager = new ResourceManager(
                t.Namespace + "." + t.Name,
                t.Assembly);

            _resourceManager.GetString("TestKey");

Tell me localized resources are supported on the phone... ;>  What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
Update: Thanks Olivier for forwarding the link.  I saw that as well but missed an important step.  I didn't  add the "SupportedCultures" node to my csproj.  Made all the difference - hoping someone else doesn't loose two hours trying to figure this out like I did.
<SupportedCultures>de-DE;es-ES;</SupportedCultures>

A: Of course, localized resources are supported on the phone:
How to: Build a Localized Application for Windows Phone

A: I wrote a blog post that provides links to a bunch of Globalization / Localization guides for WP7. There is a Windows Phone 7 in 7 Training video that helped me understand the basics. After that it was simply a matter of learning how to do databinding:

The MSDN article shows you how to
  setup the files and create the
  LocalizedStrings class, but they then
  assume that you know how to use that
  class for data binding. Visual Studio
  2010 and Silverlight handle data
  binding differently than Winforms, and
  it gets even more confusing since XAML
  also has it's own definition of
  Resources that are different then the
  .NET resources we just created.
  Silverlight also uses the term
  Resource to refer to files that use
  the the Build Action of "Content", as
  these files get wrapped up into the
  .XAP file similar to how files with
  Build Action of "Resource" get
  embedded into the .Dll assembly (ex:
  loading an image from content or
  resource files). I found that instead
  of using the Text="{Binding
  Path=resourceFile.resourceName,
  Source={StaticResource
  Localizedresources }}" XAML syntax it
  was easier to use the following steps:

*

*Open your primary XAML page (usually MainPage.xaml) in the Visual
  Studio designer

*Open the properties for the PhoneApplicationPage and set the
  DataContext to be
  Application.Resources –>
  LocalizedStrings. NOTE: if you already
  are using a DataContext object, then
  you should integrate the
  LocalizedStrings class into that
  object so that it has localization
  support.

*Once the Page's DataContext has been set you can change the data
  binding for any control on the page by
  simply selecting the property (ex:
  text, checked, etc), selecting "Apply
  Data Binding…", and setting the Path
  to Localizedresources.BtnText or
  whatever the name of the desired
  resource value is.

Q: How to solve architectural pitfall My project(C# mvc) classes inherit one base class, for some reason I need to create constructor on base class having parameters like bellow:
Public class MyBase
{
 Public MyBase(string param1, string param2, string param3)
{
}
}

Public class MyClass : MyBase
{
}

Now problem is that, on each derived class need to defined base class constructor with parameter.If I not defined base class constructor in derived class then show me error" parameter less constructor "
it is painfull to write code on each class for base class constructor,is there any way to avoid this work

A: The only way to get rid of the error it to add a parameter less constructor, however that obviously isn't ideal because you you need to specify parameters.
In Visual Studio 2015 you can click on the error and click "Generate Constructor", which makes the process of adding the constructors much easier.
See this answer for a bit of an explanation behind this.

You do have to redeclare constructors, because they're effectively not inherited. It makes sense if you think of constructors as being a bit like static methods in some respects.

A: If I got you right, you want a class that derives from the base you have but you don't want to override base constructor. Here is one solution you might like. What if you hide construction of your class?
public class MyBase
{

    public MyBase(string param1, string param2, string param3)
    {
    }
}

public class MyClass: MyBase
{
    // notice - hide constructor - private
    private MyClass(string p1, string p2, string p3) : base(p1, p2, p3)
    {

    }

    public static MyClass Create()
    {
        return new MyClass(null, null, null);
    }
}

usage
var c = MyClass.Create();

As result, your callers don't have to worry about using constructor. More over, you can now completely change construction of the derived class


Crow's feet, the fine lines that form around the eyes, are a cosmetic nuisance that comes with aging and the common target of two cosmetic procedures: Botox and Dysport. However, when it comes to which is the best for eliminating these lines, a new study says Dysport is the way to go.
Since its 2002 approval by the FDA Botox, the brand-name for onabotulinumtoxinA has arguably become the most recognized cosmetic procedures for reducing fine facial lines. The medication is made from a protein produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. When injected into the underlying facial muscles the appearance of superficial lines is reduced.
However, as Kleenex is to tissue and Band-Aid is to bandage, Botox is simply a brand-name. In 2009 the FDA approved another botulism-derived medication called Dysport (abobutulinumtoxin A) that has quickly risen to be Botox's biggest competitor.
Researchers from the Maas Clinic in San Francisco and the University of California San Francisco conducted a study to try determine which of these two botulism products has a superior effect on reducing crow's feet.
All 90 participants enrolled in the study received Botox treatment in one side of the face and Dysport on the other. Once the procedure was complete physicians reviewed photos of the results and rated them on a 5 point scale. Patients were also asked to determine which side was preferable to them.
In the study results the researchers found that 67 percent of all the patients preferred the Dysport side and the physicians also found the Dysport appearance to be significantly more favorable. However, these results were only when the patient was contracting their facial muscles as much as possible. No difference was detected while the patient's face was at rest.
"So, we can say that when it comes to addressing the smile lines around the eyes, the crow's feet, at one month the Dysport is more effective than Botox," said Dr. Corey S. Maas, of The Maas Clinic. "And that's a big deal, because Botox is such a recognized household name now. And it's such a great drug. But when you have something that comes in that's as good in some areas, let alone even better, it's big news for all of us, both doctors and patients."
Despite these clear-cut findings the researchers admit that more studies are needed in order to come to a definite conclusion about whether or not there is a real clinical difference between these products. "From our findings, it's clear that there's a better smoothing effect and clearing of lines around the eyes with Dysport. But does that also mean that Dysport is better at achieving the same thing around the mouth or forehead or neck? We really can't make that conclusion," commented Maas.
There are other notable differences between Botox and Dysport including the way that they take affect on the body. According to the website of Dr. Dale Abadir, who specializes in Botox and Dysport in Westchester County New York, Dysport has less botulism protein than Botox and therefore the body forms less antibodies against it. This means that after repeated use there is less of chance to form resistance. Furthermore, Dysport tends to act quicker than Botox, taking only 1 day to take affect rather than 3 and lasts from 6 months to a year as opposed to 3 to 4 months with Botox.
However, Botox has its benefits as well. It is a more concentrated formula which works more efficiently in smaller and tighter spaces and the results are more subtle and sometimes more natural. Dr. Abadir also says that it can be applied to more places including around the lips and nose because it has less of a spread.
The results of the study were published in the Monday edition of the journal Archives of Facial Plastic Surgery.

Take common masking tape and burnish it on the main body decals with your fingernail or coin, pull the tape off and the majority of the decal will come with it.
This won't work on the painted logos around the bumper areas.
it came in a green box adn everything was lose inside it i bought it from HK. are these the fake 1's?
Wow, that's very strange - I'd certainly be concerned - do you have pics of the box? I mean the Z can't really be counterfeited but you may be missing parts etc.
Soak the body in water for about 10 hours. The decals will flake off by the scratch of the nail or an AOL cd. The longer you soak. the easier it comes off.
Try non-acetone fingernail polish remover. Put some on a Q-tip and rub it until it comes off. Try it on a small decal first though to make sure it doesn't hurt the plastic. Works great on diecast decals.
Use tape is a good idea.
I have never seen a green box min-z even in HK?? how come you get one?? really mini-z?? what is your controller looks like??
I've seen brown box, white box, but no green box at all.
If your can, try to take a photo at the box and the car "naked", and e-mail to me at alduslai@netvigator.com, i'll try to tell you weather it is a faked.
Oh, that's a better idea, you're right.

In German, "kriechen" means "to creep" or "to crawl".
Hermann Göring was right
Hermann Göring was the Nazi founder of the Gestapo. He is credited as saying, "When I hear the word culture, I reach for my Browning!" But he probably didn't say this. The line comes from the play Schlageter by Hanns Johst: "Wenn ich Kultur höre ... entsichere ich meinen Browning!"
Linus himself
Linus Torvalds (b. 1969) is a Finnish American software engineer, who was the principal force behind the development of the Linux kernel. His personal mascot is a penguin nicknamed Tux, which has been widely adopted by the Linux community as the mascot of the Linux kernel.
packet monkey
Someone who intentionally inundates a website or network with data packets, resulting in a denial-of-service situation for users of the attacked site or network. Packet monkeys typically use tools created and made available on the Internet by hackers. Unlike a script kiddy, a packet monkey leaves no clues as to who is making the exploit, making the identity of a packet monkey more difficult to trace. In addition, a denial-of-service attack can be launched on a wider scale than attacks performed by script kiddies, making them more difficult to investigate.
Hackers look down on packet monkeys and often describe them as "bottom feeders." Because a packet monkey uses tools created by others, the packet monkey has little understanding of the harm that may be caused. Typically, packet monkey exploits are random and without any purpose other than the thrill of making an effect. Source

Streetlight people, living just to
find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night

Wayne Gretzky Principle

Wells notice
The current Wells Fargo is a result of a 1998 merger between Minneapolis-based Norwest Corporation and the original Wells Fargo. Although Norwest was the nominal survivor, the new company kept the Wells Fargo name to capitalize on the long history of the nationally recognized Wells Fargo name and its trademark stagecoach (the company's previous slogan, "The Next Stage," is likely a nod to the company's trademark). After the acquisition, the parent company kept its headquarters in San Francisco. The company's current tagline, "Together we'll go far" also references the stagecoach motif, its customers, and represents the company name itself in a transposed way (Wells Far-go = we'll[s] go-Far).

As soon as we arrived in France, we had an issue on the front wheel. Massive grinding noise when I braking suggested that we are in trouble.
Malfunctioned stuck front callipers made front rotor worn out and disintegrated.
It was a huge trouble which we really can't afford. So we decided to ignored it.
As a result, we lost brakes. Now we have to replace rotors, callipers and brake pads.
We meant to repair van ourselves. That's the reason why we bought this old Citroen Relay. Easy to repair. It is actually really easy to repair. But it is really hard to get parts. Even mechanic said that they have to order parts to repair it.
So it is going to cost us about € 500 at the repair shop. We don't have that sort of money.
Thankfully, A chap from Tweeter suggested crowd funding and now we are nearly there.
We will be back on the road soon.
P.S. We are enjoying our car park camping anyway. Lidl is near from us, water tap and super fast free wifi from Castorama.
