Моби банка, раније позната као Теленор банка, комерцијална је банка са седиштем у Београду. Основана је током 2014. године у Београду, преузимањем КБЦ банке у Србији од стране Теленора Србије, највећег телекомуникационог оператера у земљи. Моби банка је прва потпуно мобилна банка у Србији, нема филијале и ослања се у потпуности на дизајнирано решење мобилног банкарства. Ово је први пројекат те врсте у југоисточној Европи.

Историјат
Првобитно лиценцу за банкарство, било је додељено Алко банци 1996. године, која је била у власништву бизнисмена Мирољуба Алексића. Касније банка мења назив у А банка.

Јуна 2007. године А банка је продата белгијској КБЦ групи за 100 милиона евра. После трансакције, мења назив у КБЦ банка Србија. Белгијска банка је била присутна у Србији до 2014. године када је најавила повлачење са српског тржишта. Склопили су договор са Сосијете женерал о продаји свог портфеља овој банци, док су банкарска лиценца и сама банка продате Теленор групи, која је већ била присутна у Србији, као телекомуникациони оператор. Тако је основана Теленор банка, која је започела са радом у септембру 2014. године.

У јулу 2017. године, потписан је уговор о стратешком партнерству између Теленора и Ривер стикса инвестиционог фонда. Теленор би задржао 15% акција банке, очувајући тиме посебан однос између Теленора и банке. Међутим, трансакцију је Народна банка Србије поништила у фебруару 2018, због неиспуњавања прописаних услова утврђених прописима Србије.

У октобру 2019. године Теленор банка је променила име у Моби банка.

Тржишни и финансијски подаци
Према најновијем годишњем финансијском извештају, из евиденције Агенције за привредне регистре, компанија има 186 запослених и остварен годишњи губитак од 1.317.786.000 динара (€ 10,98 милиона евра) за календарску годину 2016.

I just got my first friend! Her name is Isadora. I feel like we will be great friends. She told me about a place in the woods. It looks fun to go to. But she doesn't want me to meet her family, it's weird.
Any who, I'm writing this on my Android. It's the Notes app but whatever, it's my diary. She's very pretty, though. With brown hair and flawless skin. She is around 13-14. Even though I just met her she seems nice. Well, I need to go and eat dinner. Goodnight!
I heard this weird thing outside my window. It sounds like wolves and it's chasing something. My family went upstairs to hide if it's wolves.
But somehow I can't seem to see if Isadora is okay or not. Wolves are very nasty and vicious. She wouldn't probably stand a chance against them. Well as I'm writing this the wolves are howling like A-whoooo... it's very annoying. Good, it stopped. I'm gonna go to sleep now, bye.
Isadora invited me in the woods. We went deep in the woods, like deep enough so that some light didn't shine through the trees. I got scared and Isadora offered to take me back. But it's a two-hour trip so we need to walk fast. By the time were half way there it's already dark.
We can hear wolves but Isadora doesn't seem scared at all. She seems nice and good. But not scared of wolves. I wouldn't think much of it. By the time it's 5:00 pm it's so dark. My heart was beating as I heard something. Isadora mutters something under her breath.
Then out of nowhere she screams, "RUN!"
I run and hear her screams. Not like scared screams. But mad screams. When I get home I go upstairs and reach my phone. I'm typing this on my phone now. Well I have to go so, bye.
Okay, If anybody is reading this my name is John Volman I'm 13 years old and I'm on the verge of dying. I'm hiding from Isadora's family. It turns out she was protecting me they are a pack of something.
They have fangs and run fast. They're not human and they are trying to attack me. So if anyone reads this I'm in the Canadian woods of Montreal, Quebec. Someone help and get my family. I need help!
John's body was found on June 22 4:36 AM. The family heard screaming and wolves. When we got there we found John. His stomach was ripped open and his eyes were also open. We found his phone next to him. It was not broken. We managed to find these entries in the phone. When we got to the family we found them all dead. The sister was hanging on a tree branch outside.


tribute to cherub in progress, not done, lol.
Shouldn't this be in art?
I don't think your supposed to post anything if it has like less than 10 seconds of animation and in this case it has 0.
ok, I guess so, it should be in the art. actually it's 2 frames, er, 1 frame each in 2 scenes.
anywho, I purposely made the fingers a bit weird, he is a bit undead, don't you think?
this has about 0.0000000005 sec of animation in it..
Sounds like you're making up excuses for your flaws.
The shoulder blades look too flat and long and the chest looks a bit plain, but it is still unfinished, so hopefully you will edit that. The helmet is well drawn though, good job.
The fingers on the left hand looks pretty good, but the ones on the right hand are too badly drawn. Seems to be pointing in all directions.
wow, this ****in' helps, I'll jump the horse on these things then.

Unrestrained teen killed in Ouachita Parish crash
by: Chelsea Monae Williams
OUACHITA PARISH (KTVE/KARD)— On December 20, 2021 around 3:30 P.M., Louisiana State Police Troop F responded to a crash on United States Highway 80 at the intersection of Stubbs-Vinson Road. Logan Temple, 17, of Wisner was killed as a result of the accident.
According to a press release, the initial investigation revealed a 2017 Honda Civic, driven by Temple, was traveling south on Stubbs-Vinson Road when he failed to yield at the stop sign at the intersection with U.S. Hwy 80. The Civic was struck in the driver side door by a 2020 Mack Dump truck that was traveling west on U.S. Hwy 80.
Temple, who was unrestrained, was pronounced dead at the scene. The passenger inside the Civic, who was properly restrained, was taken to a local hospital with serious injuries. The driver of the dump truck was not injured in the crash. A toxicology sample was obtained and will be submitted for analysis.
Buckling up is the most effective way to protect yourself during a vehicle crash. Failure to take a few seconds to buckle up can have devastating consequences. Louisiana law requires every person in a vehicle, regardless of seating position, to be properly restrained day or night.
Louisiana State Police Troop F
The crash still remains under investigation.
In 2021, Troop F has investigated 57 fatal crashes resulting in 68 deaths.

What America Can Learn From Its Atheists.
Under God and Over
Leon Wieseltier
It was the first time that William Rehnquist ever put me in mind of Sren Kierkegaard. As I watched the Supreme Court discuss God with Michael A. Newdow, the atheist from California who was defending his victory in a lower court that had concurred with his view that the words "under God" should be stricken from the Pledge of Allegiance because it is a religious expression, and was therefore responding to the Bush administration's petition to protect the theism in the Pledge, I remembered a shrewd and highly un-American observation that was included among the aphorisms in Either/Or: "The melancholy have the best sense of the comic, the opulent often the best sense of the rustic, the dissolute often the best sense of the moral, and the doubter often the best sense of the religious." The discussion that morning fully vindicated the majesty of the chamber, as legal themes gave way to metaphysical themes and philosophy bewitched the assembly. But something strange happened. Almost as soon as philosophy was invited, it was disinvited. It seemed to make everybody anxious, except the respondent. I had come to witness a disputation between religion's enemies and religion's friends. What I saw instead, with the exception of a single comment by Justice Souter, was a disputation between religion's enemies, liberal and conservative. And this confirmed me in my conviction that the surest way to steal the meaning, and therefore the power, from religion is to deliver it to politics, to enslave it to public life.
Some of the individuals to whom I am attributing a hostility to religion would resent the allegation deeply. They regard themselves as religion's finest friends. But what kind of friendship for religion is it that insists that the words "under God" have no religious connotation? A political friendship, is the answer. And that is precisely the kind of friendship that the Bush administration exhibited in its awful defense of the theistic diction of the Pledge. The solicitor general stood before the Court to argue against the plain meaning of ordinary words. In the Pledge of Allegiance, the government insisted, the word "God" does not refer to God. It refers to a reference to God. The government's argument, as it was stated in the brief filed by Theodore B. Olson, was made in two parts. The first part was about history, the second part was about society. "The Pledge's reference to 'a Nation under God,'" the solicitor general maintained, "is a statement about the Nation's historical origins, its enduring political philosophy centered on the sovereignty of the individual." The allegedly religious words in the Pledge are actually just "descriptive"--the term kept recurring in the discussion--of the mentality of the people who established the United States. As Olson told the Court, they are one of several "civic and ceremonial acknowledgments of the indisputable historical fact that caused the framers of our Constitution and the signers of the Declaration of Independence to say that they had the right to revolt and start a new country."
This is, for a start, an imprecise understanding of American origins. The American revolutionaries appealed not only to God, but also to reason; and their appeal to reason was animated by more than their feeling that reason was divine. It is historical and intellectual nonsense to believe that the concept of the sovereignty of the individual rests exclusively, or even mainly, upon religious foundations. Modernity was not merely the most recent era in the history of religion. The American order was a new idea, not a new version of an old idea. Moreover, a ceremony is not a museum. There are many notions that filled the heads of our eighteenth-century heroes that we do not reproduce in our civic life. Our reverence toward the Founders, which is eternally justified by what they wrought, is not a curatorial attitude. This is the case also with regard to their religious convictions. They were, many of them, Deists--which is to say, the United States was created in the very short period in history when it was theologically respectable to believe in a God that never intervenes in the world that He (the pronoun is ridiculous) created. In the matter of our religious origins, then, we were freakishly fortunate. No theology more convenient for a secular democracy ever existed. But there are no Deists in America anymore. This is why it was exceedingly odd to hear the controversial words in the Pledge described at the Court with Eugene Rostow's phrase "ceremonial deism." Ceremonial theism, perhaps; but that is a more highly charged activity. If there were still Deists in America, we would enjoy more cultural peace. Why do the God-inebriated opponents of the separation of church and state in America, the righteous citizens who see God's hand in everything that Fox News reports, insult the Founders by revising and even rejecting their God?
The second part of Olson's argument was a rather candid appeal to the expediency of religion. The Pledge is "a patriotic exercise and a solemnizing ceremony," which serves "the secular values of promoting national unity, patriotism, and an appreciation of the values that defined the Nation." The brief further notes that the introduction of God into the Pledge in 1954 had "a political purpose," which was to "highlight the foundational difference between the United States and Communist nations." (The brief does not cite some of the embarrassingly sectarian expostulations in that congressional debate.) It is certainly correct that the materialism of communist ideology offended many Americans; but the American dispensation differed from the Soviet dispensation in many significant ways, and it is foolish to impute all the evils of the Soviet Union to its godlessness. The record of religious states in the matter of mass persecution and mass murder does not support the political complacency of many American believers. In contemporary America, however, it seems forever necessary to repeat the elementary admonition that there is a distinction between religion and morality. At the Christian demonstration outside the Supreme Court that morning, one of the speakers remarked, as she reminded her listeners that "the Soviet Union was definitely not a nation under God," that "I guess it's not a surprise that if you don't acknowledge God you don't care about lying." Are there no religious liars? Not if you hold that religion and morality are the same; or if you deem a statement to be true because it includes a mention of God. This same silly woman went on to suggest that in the inner city "children are killing children because they have not heard 'Thou Shalt Not Kill.'" Surely the situation is more complicated and more disturbing. Surely some of those young people with guns have heard the Sixth Commandment, but it has had no effect on their ethics. Faith is not a promise of goodness, as the Bible frequently shows.
The distinction between religion and morality was championed by religious thinkers in all the monotheistic faiths, who worried that religion would be reduced to morality. Now we must worry that for many Americans morality is being reduced to religion. Newdow was right when he insisted that there is nothing paradoxical about a godless patriotism, when he ringingly concluded with the hope that "we can finally go back and have every American want to stand up, face the flag, place their hand over their heart, and pledge to one nation, indivisible, not divided by religion, with liberty and justice for all." Patriotism is certainly a mark of a polity's moral soundness, and the Pledge is one of many splendid instruments for making patriots; but patriotism, as even the solicitor general notes, is a secular value. To cherish religion for its political utility is to cherish it narrowly, selfishly, consequentially, because it allows you to accomplish one of your objectives, because it works. American conservatives love to chant Richard Weaver's old slogan that ideas have consequences; but if you are chiefly interested in the consequences, then you are not chiefly interested in the ideas. If you care primarily about patriotism or "national unity" or "civilization," then you will concern yourself with the practical impact of the phrase "under God" and not with its theoretical implication. You will neglect religion even as you denounce others for doing the same.
But the conservatives were not the only ones at the Supreme Court who denied religion by the manner in which they defended it. Justice Breyer wondered, in a challenge to Newdow, whether the words "under God" referred only to a "supreme being." Citing United States v. Seeger from 1965, though he might have illustrated his speculation more vividly with the historical precedent of the Cult of the Supreme Being in revolutionary Paris, Breyer proposed that such a faith "in any ordinary person's life fills the same place as belief in God fills in the life of an orthodox religionist," and so "it's reaching out to be inclusive"--so inclusive, in fact, that it may satisfy a non-believer such as Newdow. Breyer suggested that the God in "under God" is "this kind of very comprehensive supreme being, Seeger-type thing." And he posed an extraordinary question to Newdow: "So do you think that God is so generic in this context that it could be that inclusive, and if it is, then does your objection disappear?"
Needless to say, Newdow's objection did not disappear, because it is one of the admirable features of atheism to take God seriously. Newdow's reply was unforgettable: "I don't think that I can include 'under God' to mean 'no God,' which is exactly what I think. I deny the existence of God." The sound of those words in that room gave me what I can only call a constitutional thrill. This is freedom. And he continued: "For someone to tell me that 'under God' should mean some broad thing that even encompasses my religious beliefs sounds a little, you know, it seems like the government is imposing what it wants me to think in terms of religion, which it may not do. Government needs to stay out of this business altogether." So the common ground that Breyer depicted was not quite as common as he thought it was. In fact, Breyer was advocating the Lockean variety of toleration, according to which it would be based on a convergence of conviction, a consensus about the truth, among the overwhelming majority of the members of a society. The problem with such an arrangement is that the convergence is never complete and the consensus is never perfect. Locke himself instructed that "those are not at all to be tolerated who deny the Being of a God." The universal absolute is never quite universal. And there is another problem. It is that nobody worships a "very comprehensive supreme being, Seeger-type thing." Such a level of generality, a "generic" God, is religiously senseless. Breyer's solution was another attempt to salvage religious expression by emptying it of religious content. But why should a neutralized God be preferred to a neutral government? The preference is attractive only if religion is regarded primarily from the standpoint of politics.
here are two words in the phrase "under God." Each of them is indeed descriptive--but it is not our history that they describe. They describe our cosmos. Or rather, they purport to describe our cosmos. They make a statement about the universe, they paint a picture of what exists. This statement and this picture is either true or false. Either there is a God and we are under Him--the spatial metaphor, the image of a vertical reality, is one of the most ancient devices of religion--or there is not a God and we are not under Him. Since 1954, in other words, the Pledge of Allegiance has conveyed metaphysical information, and therefore it has broached metaphysical questions. I do not see how its language can be read differently. During the deliberations at the Court, only Justice Souter conceded that a cosmological claim, a worldview, is being advanced by the allusion to God in the Pledge. "I will assume that if you read the Pledge carefully, the reference to 'under God' means something more than a mere description of how somebody else once thought," he told Newdow. "The republic is then described as being under God, and I think a fair reading of that would be: I think that's the way the republic ought to be conceived, as under God. So I think there's some affirmation there. I will grant you that."
To recognize the plain meaning of the words "under God," and the nature of the investigation that they enjoin, is to discover the philosophical core of religion. This is not at all obvious to the modern interpretation of religion, and not to the American interpretation of it. After Kant explained that we can have no direct knowledge of the thing itself, and certainly not of God, religious statements have tended to be not propositions of fact, but propositions of value--expressions of inner states that are validated by the intensity of the feeling with which they are articulated. Certainty weirdly became an accomplishment of subjectivity. Kant thought that he secured religion by placing it beyond the bounds of knowledge. But this was a false security, because the vocabulary of theism continues to point to more than emotion or experience or tribe or culture. Prayer in particular remains, at least at the level of its language, an address in the second-person singular to an entity that is not oneself. Theology, if it wishes to be regarded as more than a cerebral fantasy, cannot be content to have its basis in the imagination; it must appeal to the authority of philosophy if it is to continue to speak about what is true.
Many modern believers, and modern commentators on religion, resent this. A recent historian of atheism, a Jesuit scholar, laments that in modern theology "religion was treated as if it were theism," as if it had no resources of its own to guarantee anything generally binding and true. But if religion is not theism, if its ground is not an intellectually supportable belief in the existence of God, then all the spiritual exaltation and all the political agitation in the world will avail it nothing against the skeptics and the doubters, and it really is just a beloved illusion. Others denounce the abstraction of the God of the philosophers, and the impersonality. Before such a deity, Heidegger demagogically complained, "man can neither fall to his knees in awe nor can he play music and dance." But this is not philosophy's problem, or even religion's problem, if by religion you mean something other than an excuse to fall to your knees or to dance with your feet. If the impersonal God does not exist, I do not see how the personal God can exist.
There is no greater insult to religion than to expel strictness of thought from it. Yet such an expulsion is one of the traits of contemporary American religion, as the discussion at the Supreme Court demonstrated. Religion in America is more and more relaxed and "customized," a jolly affair of hallowed self-affirmation, a religion of a holy whatever. Speaking about God is prized over thinking about God. Say "under God" even if you don't mean under God. And if you mean under God, don't be tricked into giving an account of what you mean by it. Before too long you have arrived at a sacralized cynicism: In his intervention at the Court, Justice Stevens recalled a devastating point from the fascinating brief submitted in support of Newdow by 32 Christian and Jewish clergy, which asserted that "if the briefs of the school district and the United States are to be taken seriously," that is, if the words in the Pledge do not allude to God, "then every day they ask schoolchildren to violate [the] commandment" that "Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord in vain." Remember, those are not the Ten Suggestions. It is a very strange creed indeed that asks its votaries not to reflect too much about itself.
For this reason, American unbelief can perform a great quickening service to American belief. It can shake American religion loose from its cheerful indifference to the inquiry about truth. It can remind it that religion is not only a way of life but also a worldview. It can provoke it into remembering its reasons. For the argument that a reference to God is not a reference to God is a sign that American religion is forgetting its reasons. The need of so many American believers to have government endorse their belief is thoroughly abject. How strong, and how wise, is a faith that needs to see God's name wherever it looks? (His name on nickels and dimes is rather damaging to His sublimity.) I do not mean to exaggerate the virtues of Michael Newdow: There was something too shiny about him, too dogmatic about his opposition to other people's dogmas. Atheists can be as mindless as theists. From his comments at the Supreme Court, there was no way to tell how thoughtful Newdow's arguments against theism are, or even what they are. And when Newdow insisted that there is some injury to him when his daughter "is asked every morning to say that her father is wrong" by praying in class, because "the government says there is a God and her dad says there isn't," he failed to grasp one of the ends of education, which is to make children unlike their parents. And yet Newdow's appearance at the Supreme Court was terrifically stirring. Elk Grove Unified School District v. Michael A. Newdow exposed a spiritual poverty, and honored an American tradition, and cautioned an entire country about the consequences of a smug and sloppy entanglement of religion with politics, for politics and for religion. It is never long before one nation under God gives way to one God under a nation.

Company boss gives extra four days off to non-smoking employees
INQUIRER.net stock photo
A managing director will be giving an extra four days off to non-smokers at their company in England, hoping that other businesses would follow suit.
Don Bryden of Stratton-based firm KCJ Training and Employment Solutions introduced the new policy this month, Swindon Advertiser reported on Jan. 10.
He first came up with the idea when he was watching employees who smoke, noting that they have "four, five or even 10 cigarettes a day and take around 10 minutes outside each time."
"I looked at the other guys during these breaks and they're always on the phones, typing away and trying to do their work, so I thought they should be compensated," Bryden explained in the report.
He decided to finally implement the policy this year after seeing "something on social media" that suggested non-smoking workers should have an extra four days off.
"Everyone was saying it was a great idea but nobody said they would actually do it," Bryden said in the report, "so I came into work at the start of January feeling generous and told everyone we would kick it off."
He noted that he has not seen other businesses in their area implement the said policy, which contributed to his decision to apply it in his company. He described the move as something "right and well overdue," and hopes that it encourages other companies to follow suit.
When Bryden announced the decision to his coworkers, he mentioned that some said they were going to stop smoking, as per the report. However, Bryden pointed out that employees will only receive the extra four days off if they can stop smoking for 12 months.
"I've worked for recruitment for national and private businesses for 20 years and, a lot of the time, you get used and abused and you just become a number," Bryden added.
In light of this, he considers the said policy as a way of giving back to the staff, describing it as an incentive to motivate them.
"It may not make the business more profitable but it has created loyalty and a positive mindset and the feeling of being a family," Bryden said. "The team is very motivated."
Meanwhile, a certain Krzystof Krzywozeka, a non-smoker who has worked in the said company for just over six months, welcomes the new policy. The report also stated that he thinks it "could motivate people to quit smoking." Ryan Arcadio/NVG

A Conversation with Beatrice Ojakangas and Erick Harcey
Erick Harcey is the 30-something chef and owner of Upton 43, a modernist Swedish-inspired restaurant in Minneapolis. He commutes into the city from Cambridge, where he hunts and fishes with his four boys.
Beatrice Ojakangas grew up in a Finnish farm family outside Duluth. She published the first of her 29 cookbooks in 1964. Her newest book, Homemade: Finnish Rye, Feed Sack Fashion, and Other Simple Ingredients from My Life in Food, is a memoir. She recounts not only the simple pleasures of sewing her 10 siblings' clothes and learning to bake bread, but also how she came in second in the Pillsbury Bake-Off and had a hand in inventing Gino's Pizza Rolls. (True story.)
What brings Harcey and Ojakangas together is not just Nordic flavor, but Nordic sensibilities. Over the course of our conversation, they bonded over country living, winding driveways, fresh dill, herring, lutefisk, and the best variety of potato (russets, of course). It didn't take long before they were finishing each other's sentences and occasionally answering in unison.
HEAVY TABLE: Beatrice, you published The Finnish Cookbook in 1964. And now, more than 50 years later, we're talking about the "new Nordic" cuisine. What do you think about that?
BEATRICE OJAKANGAS: I think it's great. They are doing new things in the Scandinavian countries and in Finland, but we're in a time warp here. People think it's just lutefisk and lefse. And that's good stuff, but Nordic people have moved beyond it.
HEAVY TABLE: Erick, your roots are here in Minnesota, too, and your grandfather owned Kaffe Stuga in Harris, right?
ERICK HARCEY: Yes, he moved here very young. He spoke Swedish, and we said a Swedish prayer every meal. I just didn't know any different then, but the way we ate — everything we did — I was virtually immersed in Swedish culture.
HEAVY TABLE: Upton 43 honors your grandfather's influence, but it's definitely not stuck in a time warp. What would he recognize on the menu here?
HARCEY: My grandfather was a chef, and his skills and what food was like then — that was very different than the skill set I was able to learn. We've got better technology and better equipment. But if he was still alive, I don't think he would think the food here is that far off. I think he would understand it.
HEAVY TABLE: What flavors or techniques would he have related to?
HARCEY: The thing I remember the most is how his meals were set. There was always a fatty element, maybe a creamy element. But then he had pickles on the table and herring on the table. The way I compose a dish now has all those components on one plate.
HEAVY TABLE: When you look how people in Minnesota eat today, where do you see Nordic influences?
OJAKANGAS: I always wish there would be a little bit more. There's this old saying that the Scandinavians did not come here to start restaurants. They came here to grow potatoes, to grow the wheat. The Finns came here to clear the woods and work the mines. They didn't start restaurants. There's an old story about a foreigner asking, "Where can we get good food here?" And the little kid says, "The best food is at home." That's the way the Scandinavians have always looked at it.
HARCEY: But not many people cook at home anymore. We've lost the culture of cooking with grandma and passing it down.
HEAVY TABLE: If you could choose one flavor or influence from Nordic cooking and make it universally beloved here, what would it be?
OJAKANGAS: What I think of is when you go into a Finnish restaurant, there's always the smell of fresh dill.
HARCEY: Dill is fantastic, especially the flowers when they're fresh.
OJAKANGAS: Oh, man, they're so good. Finns just use dill by the armloads, and always fresh.
HARCEY: For me, it's two things. Nordic cooks use onion and they use it well. Even if it's raw, it's not overpowering. And spices — cardamom and nutmeg and juniper berries. We only use that stuff around Christmastime. We consider it a warming spice, but used properly they just add such a great roundness to all the food. You can use them all year long.
Here, the conversation about flavors takes a sharp turn into very Nordic territory.
OJAKANGAS: I remember when we were camping in Finland, in the summer, we'd pull into the campground, and there'd be Finnish families there. They'd fire up the bonfire, put on a pot of water, and open up the trunk of the car — and it's all full of potatoes.
HARCEY: Some of that is the farming background. You used what you had and found ways to use it and celebrate it. There's nothing to be ashamed about having fantastic potatoes. They're delicious.
OJAKANGAS: Especially when they're fresh.
HARCEY: You can do everything with potatoes. We have a roasted potato ice cream here. We roast them, peel the skin off, and do a second roast to make sure they're really dry. Then we slowly steep that in the milk.
We use russets. It's got the right amount of starch. You know, there's "no" starch in Yukons. Then you can crisp the skins up really nice. Another dish is we take those skins and just lightly scrape them and then fry them so it's a true potato chip with just the skin fried up.
OJAKANGAS: You know, Finns don't eat the skins. They'll take their boiled potatoes and stick them on a fork and peel off the skin and …
ALL: And dunk them in butter.
HEAVY TABLE: That was possibly the most Nordic conversation I've ever heard. You just spent 5 minutes talking about potatoes.
And now I'll ask, If you could choose one flavor or influence from Nordic cooking and toss it out, just get rid of it, what would it be?
HARCEY: It's not so much an influence, but I think there's a notion that Nordic food is very bland, or it's very white on the plate. And it's not. I think color is 100 percent irrelevant. It makes for beauty, but when it comes to flavor, it's irrelevant.
Nordic food is not bland. It's actually very complex, when you start to understand it better. Nordic food is served compartmentalized on the table, whereas, say, with Moroccan food, everything is in one bowl. When you take time to eat a little bit of all that's on the table, it's extremely complex food.

OJAKANGAS: Speaking of which, what did you learn from Magnus [Nilsson, chef at Sweden's Fäviken, who visited Minneapolis in June]?
HARCEY: We honestly didn't talk food very much. He came in for lunch, and I just wanted to feed him something easy, because we went fishing afterward in Chisago Lakes and I was like, man, I hope he's a good fisherman like he said he was. So we went out, caught a bunch, and toward the last little bit of our trip he caught a 5½-pounder and a 6-pound bass, and he was just glowing.
OJAKANGAS: Oh, fer fun.
HARCEY: The food I put up for him, he loved. I didn't want to try to impress him as a chef. I just wanted to make food he's going to love to eat. So I did a slow-roasted lamb shoulder with yogurt and cucumbers and tunnbröd [Swedish flatbread] — basically a sandwich — and he just scarfed it down.
He's a really genius-level person.
OJAKANGAS: He's only 32. Well, Erick, you're not much older than that.
HEAVY TABLE: Beatrice, you've just written a memoir after 29 cookbooks. Erick, do you ever have the urge to put your story down in writing?
HARCEY: I do. Right now, it's a matter of how and what. It's something I've never done much of, though. I can't even spell.
OJAKANGAS: Just say it. That's all you have to do is say it on paper.
My memoir just starts out with my background: who my grandparents were. And I think that is so important, to keep the legacy of a family going. Like, where did you get your interest in food? I can follow the interests and the talents of my family back to my grandparents.
HARCEY: Right. That's a lot of what my story would be: memories of what we ate, and what we were doing and why.
Erick got up to show Beatrice the picture of his grandfather that hangs in the bar. And the conversation continued to range widely and warmly through a 30-minute Minnesota good-bye.

Creating Mesh Patterns in @MeshMixer « Adafruit Industries – Makers, hackers, artists, designers and engineers!
Creating Mesh Pattern on your CAD Model and Lightweighting for 3D Printing in Meshmixer from Amy Karle on Vimeo.
Great tutorial on how to apply Voronoi like patterns onto meshes using Autodesk MeshMixer.
I've used many programs and solutions for light weighting and piping effects (including Within and Grasshopper/Rhino) but this is one of the simplest. Here is a short video on how to do it + some tips.
I'm interested in how to have more control in the patterns and and would enjoy seeing your work and hearing how you lightweight, pipe and mesh your models… please post in comments below or on the instructables page.

Q: Print directly to printer without displaying dialog box with php or javascript I have a system for a restaurant that is running on a web server and I need to print the order that is made, in a POS printer but I would like when the user clicks on "save order" button, automatically the ticket is printed with all details of the order, without showing any print dialog box (the dialog box is shown when I print with javascript and I don't want that).
I tried to do it with the php library "Mike42" and setting the shared printer but it does not print anything.
If I do it from my system in Local with XAMPP it is printed, but if I do it from the system that is hosted in my web hosting it does not print anything.
Here I show the code of the php files that does the job of sending to print:
windows-usb.php (this file is include in Mike42 library):
     /* Change to the correct path if you copy this example! */
                require __DIR__ . '/../../autoload.php';
                use Mike42\Escpos\Printer;
                use Mike42\Escpos\PrintConnectors\WindowsPrintConnector;

                /**
                 * Install the printer using USB printing support, and the "Generic / Text Only" driver,
                 * then share it (you can use a firewall so that it can only be seen locally).
                 *
                 * Use a WindowsPrintConnector with the share name to print.
                 *
                 * Troubleshooting: Fire up a command prompt, and ensure that (if your printer is shared as
                 * "Receipt Printer), the following commands work:
                 *
                 *  echo "Hello World" > testfile
                 *  copy testfile "\\%COMPUTERNAME%\Receipt Printer"
                 *  del testfile
                 */
                try {
                    // Enter the share name for your USB printer here
                    //$connector = null;

                    $connector = new WindowsPrintConnector("THERMAL PRINTER");

                    /* Print a "Hello world" receipt" */

                    $printer = new Printer($connector);

                    $printer -> text("

This prints very well if I do it in Local, using Xampp, but when I try to do it from the system that I have hosted in my web hosting it does not work, it does not send anything to print.
I also tried creating the ticket in a pdf file with the fpdf library and then calling the Autoprint () function but the disadvantage is that I must open the generated pdf file to the printing process starts, and that's not a good
 idea.
¿is There some way to print directly to a printer with php or javascript (without displaying dialogue boxes.)?

Estlands herrlandslag i fotboll representerar Estland i fotboll.

Historik
Estlands fotbollsförbund (Eesti Jalgpalli Liit) bildades 1921 och blev medlem av Fifa 1923 och Uefa 1992. Mellan 1940 och 1991 ockuperades landet av Sovjetunionen.

Den 17 oktober 1920 spelade man första landskampen, borta mot Finland som vann med 6-0 i Helsingfors. 1922 noterade man sitt sämsta resultat när finländarna vann hemma med 10-2.
Bästa resultatet nåddes mot Litauen efter 6-0, hemma i Tallinn, 1928. Enda stora turneringen man spelat var fotboll i olympiska spelen 1924 då man förlorade den enda matchen med 0-1 mot USA.

Under sovjettiden (1940-1991) spelade man, som Estniska SSR, inofficiella matcher.

Den 3 juni 1992 spelade det nyskapade självständiga Estland sin första officiella efterkrigslandskamp, där man spelade 1-1 mot Slovenien i Tallinn. Största vinst efter 1991 blev 6-0 mot Gibraltar i kvalet till VM 2018.

De två stora rivalerna i denna gruppen, Nederländerna och Portugal, förlorade man båda borta med 0-5. Man hade hämtat upp sig till VM-kvalet (2006) blev man gruppfyra med fem segrar, två oavgjorda och fem förluster. Kvalet till VM 2010 gick hyfsat, trots att man förlorade med 7-0 mot Bosnien Hercegovina! Man klarade oavgjort hemma mot Turkiet, vilket var starkt. Man skrällvann även mot Belgien med 2-0 hemma och mot gruppjumbon Armenien blev det 1-0 hemma och 2-2 borta. Estland hamnade näst sist i gruppen i kvalet till VM 2014 med 7p.

Also, I'm trying out this new mixed-picture-and-words format, rather than a regular blog post style. It's not just a gimmick -- this lets me show parallel trains of thought, organize information hierarchically, and more easily convey tone. Besides, this is how I normally take notes in my sketchbook. The only difference here is I didn't draw dicks everywhere.

'How to Get Away with Murder' Winter Finale Recap: 'Kill Me, Kill Me, Kill Me'
Angela Romack @angelamromack November 21, 2014 / 6:39 PM November 21, 2014 1
So, we finally made it. We finally see how Sam's murder comes to pass and the role everyone plays in it. We also see that Sam is actually an awful person, so while I'm sad to see Tom Verica go, Sam had to die. For real. He doesn't get to insult Annalise that dirty and survive. He could have been a little nicer and take Rebecca with him, but what's done is done.
The opening act is basically a "who can be more awful to each other" game between Annalise and Sam. When I say ugly, I mean UG-LY. Annalise is trying to kick Sam out of the house and he's not having it. So they start launching verbal grenades at each other, including but not limited to Annalise gloating about banging hot detective Nate on the side. Annalise keep egging Sam on about killing Lila, so while he's got his hands around her throat, Sam brutally says to Annalise "You're nothing but a piece of ass. That's what I saw when I first talked to you on that day, because I knew you'd put out. That's all you're really good for: dirty, rough sex. And too ashamed to tell anyone about it. That's how foul you are, you disgusting slut." *Blank stare* What a catch, right? Sir, I hope she buries you next to Jimmy Hoffa after she uses you like a human piñata. Sam lets Annalise escape to her car and she takes off in her car to whereabouts unknown.
Michaela is obsessed with having the trophy to turn in to Annalise to get out of the exam, so she invites herself into Annalise's house, even when Sam clearly does not want her there. He looks like a deranged killer and she's all "I'm parking my behind here because I need to keep my perfect grade by turning in this heavy metal statue." In the meantime, Rebecca is trying to sneak into the house and Michaela's slow self alerts Sam that she's in the house. Rebecca runs upstairs to Sam and Annalise's bedroom to download info from Sam's computer to a thumb drive. While all this is going on, Michaela has called Wes to come save both her Rebecca's asses, but she stays inside the house doing nothing except screaming and cowering. Any other rational person would have taken their behind outside, away from the dude who looks like he's going to start snapping necks, but Michaela is special.
Wes, Connor, and Laurel show up and try to diffuse the situation in the bedroom, except Sam isn't having any of it and launches himself at Rebecca, taking down the lot of them. It's a free-for-all and the kids attempt a pitiful game of "keep away" of the thumb drive from Sam in the bedroom that ends up moving into the hallway. Sam charges Michaela to get it back and she pushes him over the balcony, where he falls and busts his head open like a melon. Now, there's REAL drama. Technically, Michaela "killed" him out of self-defense, but all of these kids broke into Sam's house, Rebecca was stealing info off of HIS computer. They in some kinda trouble. The best part is: SAM ISN'T DEAD. He comes to and tries to strangle Rebecca, something I feel like he should have succeeded at before Wes actually does crack him in the head with the statue. Now he's dead dead. (I told you Rebecca and Wes cause the most trouble and are the worst.)
As seen in previous flashbacks, Connor and Michaela are flipping out, while Laurel is sociopathic and very calm throughout the whole thing, and Wes is lovingly cleaning Sam's blood off Rebecca and making out with her. Ugh. Remember, this is where Asher shows up outside Annalise's house pissed off that Michaela stole his trophy. He apparently goes off to play in the bonfire after being ignored and then gets that booty call from Bonnie. Basically those two have nothing else to do but each other. And Asher has the game of a 15 year old boy. Meanwhile, Connor, Michaela, Laurel, and Wes (after returning to get the statue) run to the forest to come up with a plan, and we have now returned to the very first opening scenes of the series.
The Cleanup
Remember when Wes lied and said the quarter landed heads up? Because heads up means they go back and get Sam's body, well now it makes sense because Wes had already conspired with Annalise BECAUSE SHE WAS IN THE HOUSE WHEN HE WENT BACK. She rolled back up to her house, saw Sam dead on the floor and was like "Jesus is real, he heard my prayers about this man going to the light." She sees Wes come back to steal the statue and realizes there's a plan to be had. PS – Wes apologizing to Sam? Sir, stop talking.
How much of the kids' plan is really Annalise's idea is my burning question. What instructions did Annalise give him? Wes doesn't want to go to jail and Annalise's dick of a husband is longer her problem anymore. The interesting thing is that Wes has bossed around the other three all evening with them falling into line about how to dispose of Sam, when we now know it's Annnalise calling the shots, I think. Mainly because I think Wes is an idiot. Connor, however, bucks Wes' authority and dumps Sam's body parts in a dumpster instead of an incinerator like Wes demanded. That's gonna come back to bite them in the ass, along with Michaela's missing ring.
Back to Annalise, she has the perfect alibi. She goes to Nate's house after finding Sam's body. So, she wasn't there when Sam was actually murdered, and she's not there during the cleanup. She makes a HUGE deal, with crocodile tears and snot running down her face, about her fears that Sam killed Lila to Nate. Nate, being a dude falls for it. Actually, Annalise LETS him fall for it because this is allllll her show. She plays him like a fiddle, even showing Nate that she's trying to call Sam to talk it out and he's not answering. She then manages to get some pretty amazing wall sex from Nate, that's HBIC right there. Even better, she leaves Sam this amazing heartfelt voicemail declaring her love and begging him to come home after returning to her now cleaned up house. Meaning, the cell phone gps will show that she was home when she left this voicemail.
Remember when Annalise called Bonnie the next morning, playing on Bonnie's feels from being fired AND her crush for Sam. ALL. A. Game. Even better, everyone is summoned back to the Annalise's house the next morning. But before arriving, Michaela throws herself on the sword and signs Aidan's prenup, Connor plays off his mental breakdown as a bad high, and Laurel gets Frank to believe that her freakout was over stealing the statue. The only thing to note about Wes and Rebecca is that he broke the thumb drive that Rebecca started this whole mess over, so it couldn't be traced back to them.
Everyone shows up at the house petrified that they're busted, except a very calm Wes. Annalise, comes out in her robe, no makeup, no wig to inform the kids that she knew about Sam and Lila, Sam is now missing, and could they please cooperate with the police to help find him. I knew something was off when Annalise didn't make a single mention about the missing rug in her house. This woman misses nothing, except a big ass rug in her house? No way. Her eye contact with Wes (and the subsequent flashback to Wes and Annalise being in the house with a dead Sam) means act two will be: how WE get away with murder. Important to note, when Michaela lied in the beginning of the season that Annalise gave them permission to donate it to the bonfire to the rent-a-cop, Annalise can now either confirm it or throw all of the kids under the bus to save her skin. Game. Set. Match.
I could go on and on and on about the range Viola uses to play Annalise, the true sociopath of the show, this episode (and the previous 8 episodes) but I'll just end with: Viola, I better see your name on the Emmy nominations this year. Also, Tom Verica, you done good, sir.

Question: Was it my imagination or didn't Michaela tell her co-conspirators that she sent Asher (who was banging on the door demanding the trophy's return) a text message to get him to leave Annalise's house? If my memory is correct, by the time Laurel advised her against returning her fiancé's call because the Authorities would be able to place her at the location, it was already to late. The gps coordinate for the text had done just that.

8902 CORPORATION v. HELMSLEY SPEAR INC
8902 CORPORATION, et al., Plaintiffs-Appellants, v. HELMSLEY-SPEAR, INC., et al., Defendants-Respondents.
FRIEDMAN, J.P., SULLIVAN, NARDELLI, WILLIAMS, SWEENY, JJ. Bianchi Macron LLP, Garden City (John J. Macron of counsel), for appellants. Michael J. Berman & Associates, P.C., New York (Michael J. Berman of counsel), for respondents.
Order, Supreme Court, New York County (Marcy S. Friedman, J.), entered September 30, 2004, which, in an action by a commercial tenant and its principal (Leahy) against the landlord and managing agent arising out the termination of the parties' lease, inter alia, granted defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissing the complaint, unanimously modified, on the law, to reinstate Leahy's first cause of action for conversion, and otherwise affirmed, without costs. Appeal from order, same court and Justice, entered on or about October 18, 2004, unanimously dismissed as abandoned, without costs.
The tenant does not claim any legally cognizable interest in the personal property that, as conceded by defendants for present purposes, remained on the premises after the tenant's eviction. Accordingly, the tenant has no cause of action for conversion. However, as to Leahy, who claims to be the owner of such personalty, an issue of fact exists as to whether defendants unreasonably denied him access to the premises after the eviction, raised by, inter alia, Leahy's claim that he orally requested access multiple times but was refused (see Sillman v. Twentieth Century-Fox Film Corp., 3 N.Y.2d 395, 404, 165 N.Y.S.2d 498, 144 N.E.2d 387 [1957] ). We affirm in all other respects. Plaintiffs' allegations of conversion do not warrant an award of punitive damages (see Boston Concessions Group v. Criterion Ctr. Corp., 250 A.D.2d 435, 436, 673 N.Y.S.2d 111 [1998]; see also Buchwald & Assoc. v. Rich, 281 A.D.2d 329, 330, 723 N.Y.S.2d 8 [2001] ). The cause of action for breach of contract was properly dismissed on the ground that plaintiffs never provided defendants with financial information about their prospective assignee as required by the lease, lacking which defendants cannot be found to have unreasonably withheld their consent to the requested assignment (see 200 Eighth Ave. Rest. Corp. v. Daytona Holding Corp., 293 A.D.2d 353, 740 N.Y.S.2d 330 [2002] ). Dismissal of the cause of action for breach of contract necessarily requires dismissal of the cause of action for tortious interference with its prospective business relations, the claimed interference with the prospective assignee being a mere incident of the claimed breach of contract (see Rodriguez-Nunci v. Clinton Hous. & Dev. Co., 241 A.D.2d 339, 660 N.Y.S.2d 16 [1997] ). The cause of action for bailment was properly dismissed for lack of evidence of an agreement by defendants to maintain the personal property left on the premises (see Funding Assistance Corp. v. Mashreq Bank, 277 A.D.2d 127, 717 N.Y.S.2d 46 [2000] ).

9MM PARABELLUM BULLET - COLD EDGE ALBUM VER.


Readers already familiar with my preferences will recall that on multiple occasions I have referenced Ulcerate as both pioneers of the growing experimental and dissonant death metal trend and the most creative band since Meshuggah. Bold words indeed, (pun intended), but in truth, Ulcerate's last three albums have been so excellent that I had to update the seal of approval I placed on them to a walrus. Pinniped mass shaming aside, one has to wonder whether New Zealand harbors any other interesting island endemics, and if so what similarities they share with The Destroyers of All. It's a bit unfair to measure Dawn of Azazel using Ulcerate as your yardstick, given that DoA's The Law of the Strong predates Of Fracture and Failure by three years; both bands got their start around the turn of the century and started releasing in the mid-2000s. Yet there's definitely some cross-pollination going on between the two bands, and no matter what direction it's coming from, I consider it a very good thing.
Over the course of this album Dawn of Azazel flaunts neighboring influences more and more. "The Eagles Grasp" opens with a riff that can only be described as "Tasmanian," bringing back fond memories of the last time you listened to "The Colour of Sleep." There's a slight Ulcerate vibe to a lot of early-album songs, but closer "Tarnished Gold" takes the cake for Ulcer-aping and is all the better for it. Jeremy Suckling steps up his Jamie St Merat impression with a lot of interesting cymbal work and prodigious blasting, and the guitars begin rotting away in doomy riffs and suffocating atmospheric leads. It's a somewhat predictable ending, but no less impactful than other songs.
On top of the consistently rewarding songcraft and very tight performances from the trio, The Tides of Damocles sounds quite good, with great bass presence throughout and a very even-handed mix that hits hard but doesn't give your eardrums hell. Every song is as good alone as it is next to its neighbors, and you can actually listen to the LP all the way through a few times without significant fatigue. That cover is pretty easy on the eyes as well; a complete package if there ever was one.
Be sure to carve some time out of the Sigh binge-listening you'll be engaging in this week and give Tides of Damocles a good twice or thrice over. I was wrong about waiting for the new Wormed album for your fix of grade-A brutality. Tides is a cut so savory you'll want to eat it raw.


Here in Northern Connecticut, we have had an unusually snow-free winter, for which my flock and I are tremendously grateful. But, after 60°F temperatures on Thursday, we were treated to 8″ of snow and temps in the teens. As Hartford native, Mark Twain once said of New England: "if you don't like the weather, wait a minute." Please enjoy the photos.

I am just getting started and would love new things as a gift from the chicken chic. I am so excited about my chicken life journey. Any new ideas and any advice would be appreciated.
Not sure if I registered for the chicken feet warmer or not. If I did, my email address has been changed. Will email it to you in case I win this chicken lottery! LOL You never know!
This would be amazing to have! I cannot wait to collect all the gadgets you have!

Iran has begun installing next-generation equipment at one of its main nuclear plants, new IAEA report finds.
Iran has begun installing next-generation equipment at one of its main nuclear plants, a new International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) report said Thursday.
"On 6 February 2013, the Agency observed that Iran had started the installation of IR-2m centrifuges" at the Natanz plant, the report said, according to AFP.
"This is the first time that centrifuges more advanced than the IR-1 have been installed" at the plant in central Iran, the UN atomic watchdog added.
One official said that Iran intended to install around 3,000 of the new centrifuges at Natanz -- where around 12,500 of the older models are installed -- enabling it to speed up the enrichment of uranium.
This process is at the heart of the international community's concerns about Iran's nuclear program, since uranium enriched at high levels can be used in a nuclear weapon.
News of this advanced equipment drew an immediate reaction Thursday from Washington, which called it "yet another provocative step" by Iran.
The installation "would be a further escalation and a continuing violation of Iran's obligations under the relevant UN Security Council resolutions and IAEA board resolutions," U.S. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said, noting however that the new centrifuges came as no surprise.
Britain expressed "serious concern" about the latest development, with Foreign Office minister Alistair Burt calling it "another signal that Iran has no intention of providing the necessary reassurance... that its nuclear program is for purely peaceful purposes."
Despite the developments at Natanz, the IAEA's quarterly report seen by AFP also noted that Iran has not started operating any new equipment at its underground Fordow plant.
Fordow is of more concern to the international community, since it is used to enrich uranium to fissile purities of 20 percent and Natanz mostly to five percent.
Iran has so far produced 280 kilos (617 pounds) of 20-percent uranium, of which around 110 kilos have been diverted to fuel production, the new report said.
Experts say that around 250 kilos are needed for one bomb, although creating a weapon requires several other steps and if Iran were to start further enriching to weapons-grade this would be detected by the IAEA.
The IAEA report comes several weeks after Iran informed the IAEA that it planned to speed up its uranium enrichment program, using faster and more advanced centrifuges.
The report also came ahead of a new meeting between Iran and six world powers -- the U.S., China, Russia, Britain, France and Germany -- in Kazakhstan on February 26.
These will be the first talks between the parties since three rounds of meetings ended in stalemate in Moscow last June.
The so-called P5+1 called on Iran to suspend all 20-percent enrichment, shut down Fordow and export its 20-percent stockpile.
Reports have said that the powers could ease sanctions on Iran's trade in gold and other precious metals.
On Thursday, Nuland urged Iran to consider "another path" than the nuclear bomb.
"They have an opportunity to come to those talks ready to be serious, ready to allay the international community's concerns, and we hope they take that opportunity," she said, according to AFP.
Parallel efforts by the IAEA dating back more than a year to press Iran to grant it access to sites, documents and scientists involved in what the agency suspects were past efforts to develop nuclear weapons remain stalled.
The new report said that "although the (IAEA) board has adopted two resolutions addressing the urgent need to resolve outstanding issues regarding the Iranian nuclear program, including those which need to be clarified to exclude the existence of possible military dimensions, it has not been possible to finalize the structured approach document or begin substantive work in this regard."
It added however that the Vienna-based IAEA's "commitment to continued dialogue is unwavering".
It said that Iran "has not fully implemented its binding obligations" and that this was "needed to establish international confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear program."
