Грађанска заједница, која се такође назива грађанско, регистровано или домаће партнерство, правно је признат вид партнерства сличан браку. Овакав вид партнерства први пут је уведен 1989. у Данској. Касније су под различитим именима оваква партнерства уведена у многим државама с циљем да се истополним паровима обезбеде права која су слична (а у неким земљама и истоветна) правима која произилазе из грађанског брака особа различитог пола.

Неке државе у којима постоје грађанске заједнице, признају и иностране заједнице уколико су те заједнице суштински еквивалентне њиховим.

Присталице грађанских заједница тврде да оне дају истополним паровима једнака права која уживају и брачни парови. Неки критичари одбацују грађанске заједнице, јер сматрају да оне представљају посебан статус неједнак браку. Према америчкој историчарки Ненси Кот, брак и грађанске заједнице "заиста се не могу поредити, јер не постоји ништа што је као брак, осим брака." Други, као што је Роберт Најт, критикују грађанске заједнице и тврде да су оне у ствари истополни брак под другим именом.

Q: Difference between Kendo UI Web and Kendo UI ASP.NET for MVC When creating an MVC project via Visual Studio, Views are created with ".cshtml" files.
The KendoUI Server Wrappers have a model in the View whereas the KendoUI Web not only doesn't have any model, but there is no ".cshtml" files; only HTML. The HTML seems to just point to a datasource for data retrieival/updates whereas the KendoUI Server Wrappers need a model to pass to a controller for the same type of operations.
What is the difference between the two? I just don't understand the KendoUI Web concept and how that works. What about adaptive rendering where you create multiple copies of your ".cshtml" files for rendering on a specific device. How is that achieved with the KendoUI Web?
It also appears that you can use jQuery using the selectors for the KendoUI Web toolset (whose name wouldn't change) as opposed to the KendoUI Server Wrappers. You just don't know what the jQuery selectors are with the KendoUI Server Wrappers.
I find it very difficult to program against the KendoUI Server Wrappers (even though they are supposed to be easier and faster to implement) because of the different events you would need for a particular extension to handle and not knowing what the selector names are. This does not appear to be the case for the KendoUI Web toolset.

A: Simply put, Kendo UI Web is open for any framework that can support javascript/jQuery but Kendo UI Server Wrappers/Kendo UI ASP.NET for MVC is for ASP.NET MVC projects only.
Working with Kendo UI Web will need lot of extra coding and handling, while
the MVC version is more developer-friendly and easier to maintain. If you are working on ASP.NET MVC projects then you can make your coding easy with the server wrappers.
Kendo UI web is free to use, whereas the Server wrapper (Kendo UI for ASP.NET MVC) needs paid license per developer.
A simple example of the code differences for a kendo grid is as below:
with Server wrappers
@model IEnumerable<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.ProductViewModel>

@(Html.Kendo().Grid(Model)
    .Name("Grid")
    .Columns(columns =>
    {
        columns.Bound(p => p.ProductID).Groupable(false);
        columns.Bound(p => p.ProductName);
        columns.Bound(p => p.UnitPrice);
        columns.Bound(p => p.UnitsInStock);
    })
    .Groupable()
    .Pageable()
    .Sortable()
    .Scrollable()
    .Filterable()
    .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
        .Ajax()
        .Read(read => read.Action("Products_Read", "Grid"))
    )
)

with Kendo UI Web
<script>
    $(document).ready(function() {
        $("#grid").kendoGrid({
            dataSource: {
                data: createRandomData(50),
                pageSize: 10
            },
            groupable: true,
            sortable: true,
            pageable: {
                refresh: true,
                pageSizes: true
            },
            columns: [ {
                field: "FirstName",
                width: 90,
                title: "First Name"
            } , {
                field: "LastName",
                width: 90,
                title: "Last Name"
            } , {
                width: 100,
                field: "City"
            } , {
                field: "Title"
            } , {
                field: "BirthDate",
                title: "Birth Date",
                template: '#= kendo.toString(BirthDate,"dd MMMM yyyy") #'
            } , {
                width: 50,
                field: "Age"
            } ]
        });
    });
</script>

You can check the rendered grid here.
More details about server wrappers and Kendo UI Web.

A: Well, HaBo said it all, basically. The server wrappers are great for those who (like myself) like to be "lazy" when coding. I prefer the fluent like way of doing things with the wrappers as opposed to the pure javascript way.
That said, you should bare in mind that the KendoUI MVC Wrappers are no silver bullet. If you do not know your way around javascript, you might find yourself short on what one can do with the KendoUI framework.
For me, I've been finding a balance between using the wrappers and javascript also (using the "events", for instance) to do more "advanced" stuff. :)

A: I know this is a rather old question but I think my answer will add value (as it contains updated information).
There is this page in Telerik's documentation that explains comparison between Kendo-UI and its server-side wrappers (especially the ASP.NET MVC wrappers) quite well.
Also, regarding selectors name, actually the wrappers require you to specify a name (which will be rendered as the id attribute of the element). Telerik's documentation and forum also have some CSS selectors necessary for you to play around with the CSS where necessary. You just need to Google it hard enough. For example here is the page where you can find the CSS selector to modify the behaviour of Kendo Grid's headers.
Hope it helps

Michigan Wolverines v. Utah Utes: Week One Open Thread

Share All sharing options for: Michigan Wolverines v. Utah Utes: Week One Open Thread
Rick Osentoski-USA TODAY Sports
The time has come! Finally, it's been months, and months since we've had football. Basically, since the end of the Vegas Bowl beat down of Colorado State, Utah fans have been salivating at the chance to watch their team yet again. That time has come, and with it comes the debut of Jim Harbaugh as Michigan's newest head coach. The unusual coach takes over the reigns of the school he quarterback so many years ago. A lot of Utah fans are tired of the Harbaugh show, plus they want to exact revenge for Alex Smith.
This is Michigan's first trip to Rice-Eccles Stadium, after the previous three meetings were in Ann Arbor. Utah leads the series 2-1, after winning the past 2 games (2008, 2014). Utah got the better of Michigan last season, by a strong defensive effort, led by the debut of Gionni Paul.
Well, Paul and most of his gang of defenders are back, plus there's the return of Devontae Booker. Booker wasn't yet established as the Utah starter last season versus Michigan, so the Wolverines' will have receive the full wrath of The Beast.
Now that it's kick off time, if you're aren't at Rice-Eccles, sit back and enjoy the game with us, and chat with us about the drama between Utah and Michigan.

Q: Will the last 4 chapters in Final Fantasy XIII really take me around 28 hours to complete? I am currently halfway through Chapter 10 in Final Fantasy XIII and my most recent save file claims that I have already been playing for around 22 hours. I have beaten Cid Raines.
According to the website howlongtobeat.com in order to complete the game you need to spend on average around 50 hours.
Does this really mean that the last 3 and a half chapters will take me another 28 hours to complete? What will take me that long? Is the save file indicator an accurate estimation of how long I've been playing?

A: Most likely.
Why do the last three chapters take up half the game's playtime?  There are a couple of reasons:
The biggest one is that Chapter 11 is completely unlike the previous chapters.  Without spoiling too much, it's a very open level complete with optional side-missions and plenty of spaces to explore that aren't strictly necessary for the main plot.  The crystarium really opens up quite a bit in this chapter and you have the opportunity to farm experience to gain some substantial character power.  Now, you could skip most of this and just rush through the story, but...
The monsters become significantly stronger starting in chapter 11, especially the large monsters and boss fights.  If you try and rush through the level, you may find yourself woefully underpowered when you hit some of the bosses, especially in chapter 12 (where it's too late to go back and farm).  If you want to try rushing anyway, I recommend keeping a saved game in chapter 11, just in case.
Chapters 12 and 13 are roughly the length of the other chapters in content, but 13 also provides you the ability farm experience or components to upgrade your weapons as you deem necessary.  This also adds to your playtime.
Because of all this, most people will spend half the game on these last three chapters.  And yes, the save file indicator is a good estimation of your play time as long as you aren't jumping back to previous saves.


Coquitlam Search and Rescue is pleased to announce a significant funding milestone has been reached in our goal to replace our ageing Mobile Command Centre.
We were recently notified of two grants.
The City of Coquitlam, through the Spirit of Coquitlam Grant has awarded the team $30,000. This is in addition to $65,000 that the City had previously set aside to replace the vehicle.
For the Provincial Gaming Grant, $150,000 will be applied directly to our Mobile Command Centre project, and $45,000 will be used to support our training programs and maintain and replace communication infrastructure, personal protective equipment and rescue gear.
"After working on this project for the past three years, we are overjoyed to have reached this milestone" said Liz Clyne, head of the Truck and Transportation committee, and one of the drivers of this project.
The Mobile Command Centre project, estimated to cost a total of $407,300, will allow Coquitlam SAR to replace its current Mobile Command Centre, which is used by the team to serve the communities of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Burnaby, New Westminster, Anmore and Belcarra, with a total population of half a million people.
The current command centre is 20 years old, and has reached the end of its operational life. The replacement is being designed to provide a platform that will provide the team with more space, power, and technology to serve these communities for the next 20 years.
Examples of what the new Mobile Command Centre might look like are provided below.

Drink Baijiu - Baijiu in Tasmania Sanyou Distillery Breaks New Ground
Baijiu in Tasmania
Sanyou Breaks New Ground
Sanyou Distillery
Location, location, location—it's everything when it comes to making baijiu. We've long known that qu gives every baijiu a different flavor. Even when all other production factors are identical, slight differences in microclimate affect the final product. Recent studies have gone even further, suggesting that airborne microorganisms can significantly affect a mash at the time of production, meaning that a baijiu's flavor also changes with the season.
This means that one of the last great frontiers in understanding baijiu may lie outside of China: What happens when baijiu is produced in a radically disparate ecology than China's?
Let me introduce the Sanyou* Distillery in Tasmania. In Mandarin, Sanyou 三友 means "three pals," and the team consists of just that: Chris De Bono, Ian Sypkes and Tim Ye. The name is also a nod to the three ingredients used in its baijiu (sorghum, wheat and water), three elements of production (fermentation, distillation and aging), and the trinity of China and Australia, with baijiu playing the intermediary role of Holy Ghost.
The Sanyou Team: Ian Sypkes, Tim Ye, Chris De Bono (left to right)
Sanyou's story begins when Sypkes, a civil engineer with a passion for distilling, switched jobs and found himself in possession of a great deal of free time. He discovered baijiu, and was shocked to find a category of spirits at once diverse and all but unknown in his native Tasmania. "That just set me on a track," he tells me, "to spend all of my spare time learning about baijiu, buying baijiu to drink, and trying to figure out how to make it as a challenge."
So when Sypke's friend Ye was visiting China in late 2018, he was eager to join. Together they visited several baijiu distilleries in the southwest. In Guizhou they gained a better understanding of sauce-aroma baijiu, before heading to Sichuan, where they studied strong-aroma production in Chengdu and its environs.
Back home, Sypkes began tinkering with the production techniques he had seen in China, and found his knowledge incomplete. Baijiu distillers are notoriously guarded with trade secrets, and with Ian and Tim they had been "deliberately vague with some of the details."
They enlisted the help of De Bono, who had been making koji and miso, a rare skill set in Australia. The Japanese fermentation agent koji is created using similar process to Chinese qu—in fact, both koji and qu are rendered in the same traditional Chinese character, 麴—so they were able to pool knowledge and started making qu bricks in 2019. "We used that qu to make a small [wheat] ferment, and the worked just about the first try," says Sypkes. The team spent the remainder of the year fine tuning the process, expanding production capacity and beginning to work exclusively with wheat qu and sorghum mash. They plan to launch a baijiu in Australia in early 2022.
I reached out to Sypkes early in the 2020 COVID lockdown doldrums to learn more about Sanyou's approach and what he has learned trying to establish a baijiu distillery outside of China. We have stayed in touch since, and what follows are some highlights from our conversations, stitched together for coherence.
*No, not that Sanyou 三酉. Same phonetics, different Chinese characters, also great friends of baijiu. If you want to learn more about Bar Sanyou's amazing work, check out this lovely seminar we did together at Tales of the Cocktail.
Ian Sypkes working the pits
Drink Baijiu: How would you describe the style of baijiu that you're making?
Ian Sypkes: It's interesting, because we're sort of following a bit of a hybrid process of strong- and sauce-aroma, because that's where we visited. My concept is a wheat qu, but to rotate our pits in the way that the strong-aroma guys did, which is to cut off 20-25% of the pit, refresh that and add qu, and to rotate our pit that way. So we were running continuous pits with a wheat qu, but we're sort of starting to look at mixing in a few different grains into our qu brick, just to create some different flavors in the process. Wheat qu and the wheat grain created an unusual flavor, but the sorghum is creating a more enjoyable flavor. [For a detailed breakdown of continuous pit fermentation, click here.]
DB: Tell me more about your pits.
IS: We [started with] plastic . . . At this point they are concrete pits, we will be lining them with a local mud brick (or local stone masonry) in the near future. We are now fermenting approximately 6.5 tons of grain per fermenting pit with two pits in rotation.
DB: The still you're using, is it a steam-based device?
IS: Yeah, I bought it from China. Tim Ye, half his family's still over in China and his dad owns some factories over there, so he's kind of connected to the supply. We're looking to import a full-sized still in the next couple of months. [Update: They have.] We will be distilling approximately 4,000-4,500 liters of baijiu this year, with a plan to scale it up with a few more pits over the next year or so depending on the success of the sales.
A traditional Chinese pot still at the Sanyou Distillery
DB: I understand it can be quite challenging loading a Chinese pot still. How are you getting around that?
IS: When we were in Maotai [at the Zongde Wang Distillery], I was taking photos of the distillery, and they're like, "Stop doing that. Stop taking photos. This is the most important part of the process." The guy was filling up the still, and they taught us how to do that for like an hour or two, or however long it took.
Our boiling still is actually based upon a pot of boiling water, a steam-fed process. There's not heaps of pressure, so it takes me about an hour and a half to load a still up, because the whole concept of filling a still up is to maintain the buoyancy that your steam creates in the grain. If you just dumped it all in, [the mash] would be too dense for the steam to travel through. So you basically make a process of filling up the gaps where steam's coming through and you make your way up and you've got a pretty fluffy, less-dense [mash].
It takes a lot of time with baijiu, because it takes a lot of time to fill your still, but a really short time to distill, and then quite a long time to clean out. It's a bit different to regular distilling.
DB: Do you add grain husks to the mash before you load it in the still?
IS: Yeah. There's a fair bit of rice grain in Australia, so they just sell it at the local raw supplier, because people just chuck it down on chicken coops and stuff like that, so we're just using rice husk from Australia. There's none grown on Tasmania, so we can't do that locally.
DB: How are you aging or resting the spirits?
IS: I've had locally made clay pots [. . .] My goal will be to double our demand of spirit so we can have stuff sitting in pots forever. You sort of want to have that pot that's like a hundred years old, but you need to start making plans for that now.
The clay pots are working well. We are a little bit early to know any exact numbers in terms of evaporation, etc., but we have a couple of small sample pots that are approximately six months old and the flavor is certainly changing with time [. . .] revealing more of the deeper flavors.
DB: What's the size of your operation?
IS: Like with every startup we've got a limited budget, so we're trying to create a spirit that's drinkable, then we'll start the process. It's a really unproven market here [laughs].
DB: Tell me about what it's like for baijiu in Australia.
IS: It's tough. There's only one seemingly genuine guy that's making baijiu, called East Coast Baijiu, and he spent some time in Taiwan making light-aroma baijiu.
When I talk to people about baijiu and how they make this spirit completely different to how everything else is made, it generates heaps of interest from people. But in general, I don't think anyone would know the difference [between traditional and non-traditional production]. So that's going to make it challenging to break through with our product, which is really hard to make.
DB: I assume Australia doesn't officially recognize baijiu as a category of spirits.
IS: No. I'm going through all the processes of getting my licenses, which I imagine is going to be a challenge. I've got a license to own a still, but no license to be distilling full tilt yet. Distilling, as you know, is all about tax.
The usual process is you get a mash brought in that's five percent alcohol, or whatever, and they can track the alcohol all the way through that process, but with a solid state mash, I could say that I'm only making a liter and make a hundred—it's really hard for them to measure and trace where the alcohol starts and finishes.
DB: Would it make your life easier if the Australian government knew what baijiu was?
IS: It would make it easier, yeah. At the moment, my target is to possibly sell to Chinese in Australia. Before this COVID stuff, we were having over a million Chinese tourists per year. And then out of our 20-25 million people here there's about 1.5 million either Chinese citizens or recently transitioned to Australian citizens.
Our plan in terms of market is to target Australians doing business with Chinese, people in Australia with Chinese relationships and then work with businesses exporting premium food products from Australia into China (fruits and other premium produce). We are slowly making our way through the process of creating real connections to create real sales opportunities [. . .] So far there is a lot of interest in the product, even just in the large distilling community in Australia.
We'll be the first really doing [baijiu] properly and we'll invest in brand a lot. It would be easier if people in Australia knew about baijiu already, but a little hook for us is telling them about baijiu. The first time they've heard about it is out of my mouth, so it becomes something of interest. There's lots of people who consider themselves discerning drinkers that are interested in whisky, gin, all that sort of stuff, that I think I could win over.
DB: Any updates since we first spoke?
IS: We are fully licensed to do full-scale production, and it was actually super easy (despite my worry!). We are finding that our product to be a little on the earthy side, but definitely has some good sweet and sauce flavors coming through. We are heading in the right direction with the product, and aging it is having a huge effect on the flavor.
We also have some cool infusion testing underway, which will hopefully take us from a single product to a small range of products.
I encourage you to check out Sanyou's work. While China remains largely closed to foreign tourists, and I know not when I will again visit my beloved Sichuan distillery, I'll be keeping a close eye on this one. For those of you out there who have been curious to see what baijiu distilling looks like firsthand, the Sanyou Instagram feed is a bonanza. Godspeed, my three friends.

Amerika – piosenka niemieckiego zespołu Rammstein, pochodząca z czwartego albumu grupy zatytułowanego Reise, Reise. Jest także drugim singlem promującym płytę. Fragment refrenu (a dokładniej wersy We're all living in America, Amerika ist wunderbar) wykorzystany został jako motyw zamykający odcinki serialu Ugly Americans tworzonego dla Comedy Central.

Interpretacja
Utwór traktuje o sposobie, w jaki Amerykanie traktują świat – wszędzie można natknąć się na wpływy kultury amerykańskiej. Amerika jest jedną z niewielu piosenek Rammsteinu, w której używany jest język inny niż niemiecki – w refrenie pojawiają się słowa śpiewane po angielsku, będące parafrazą utworu The Beatles:

 We're all living in America (Wszyscy żyjemy w Ameryce)
 Amerika ist wunderbar (Ameryka jest cudowna)
 We're all living in America (Wszyscy żyjemy w Ameryce)
 Amerika, Amerika (Ameryka, Ameryka)

 We're all living in America (Wszyscy żyjemy w Ameryce)
 Coca-Cola sometimes war (Coca-cola, czasem wojna)
 We're all living in America (Wszyscy żyjemy w Ameryce)
 Amerika Amerika (Ameryka, Ameryka)

Odbiór
Amerika została negatywnie przyjęta przez część społeczeństwa amerykańskiego. Przeciwnicy piosenki oskarżają autorów o wzbudzanie nastrojów antyamerykańskich. Końcowe słowa piosenki zdają się potwierdzać te zarzuty:

 This is not a love song (To nie jest pieśń miłosna)
 This is not a love song (To nie jest pieśń miłosna)
 I don't sing my mother tongue (Nie śpiewam w ojczystym języku)
 No, this is not a love song (Nie, to nie jest pieśń miłosna)

Inni twierdzą jednak, że piosenka wymierzona została w amerykańskie przedsiębiorstwa, opanowujące światowe rynki (w piosence wspomina się o coca-coli czy Myszce Miki pod Paryżem – Disneylandzie).

Teledysk
Teledysk koncentruje się głównie na wątku sfingowanego lądowania Amerykanów na Księżycu. Wiele razy pojawiały się tezy, według których lądowanie na Księżycu z 20 lipca 1969 roku było zwykłym oszustwem Amerykanów, mającym na celu wyprzedzenie Związku Radzieckiego w kosmicznym wyścigu. Motyw ten został podchwycony przez zespół i wykorzystany w teledysku. W klipie zobaczyć można członków zespołu ubranych w skafandry amerykańskich astronautów, chodzących po powierzchni Księżyca.

Drugim wątkiem, na którym skoncentrowano się w teledysku, jest nadmierna amerykanizacja świata, przenoszenie amerykańskich zwyczajów i korporacji na inne grunty. Zobaczyć można na przykład świętego Mikołaja odwiedzającego dzieci w Afryce, ludzi z europejskich i azjatyckich krajów (m.in. Hindusów i muzułmanów), jedzących hamburgery, chodzących w obuwiu firmy Nike czy palących amerykańskie papierosy.

Nie zabrakło także elementów prześmiewczych, jak na przykład nieporadność Amerykańskich kosmonautów przy składaniu flagi czy gra na flipperach na powierzchni Księżyca. Teledysk kończy się sceną, w której okazuje się, że rzekome lądowanie na Księżycu jest zwykłym oszustwem – wszystko nagrywane jest w studio filmowym.

Amerika na koncertach
Podczas wykonywania utworu na żywo klawiszowiec, Christian Lorenz, jeździ wokoło na segwayu, a z działek wysypywane są confetti w kolorach amerykańskiej flagi – białym, niebieskim i czerwonym.

W czasie koncertu, który odbył się 30 lipca 2005 w Göteborgu, wokalista – Till Lindemann – doznał kontuzji kolana, kiedy Lorenz niechcący wjechał w niego segwayem. Z tego powodu odwołano zaplanowane koncerty w Azji.

Texas is a state known for football. There's undoubtedly no shortage of Division 1 schools in the state, but today I'm taking a look inside the one that was in my backyard! I grew up in a small suburb of Austin (though small definitely isn't the word to describe it anymore) so all of my friends and their families were pretty much UT fans. But not us. Not in our house. My dad and I have always been Texas Tech fans. In fact, on my dad's side it's a pretty even split between Texas Tech and Baylor but on my mom's side we are the only non-Aggies. We have a little nickname for the Longhorns in our family… the devil of college football. Whoops!
UT is one of those schools that you just love or hate. You can guess my position. But that's how I was raised and in Texas, you're raised on football! So forgive me. I set aside my bias though to visit a work friend, Bryan, who joined UT's staff back in 2016 and just received a promotion to Director of Recruiting. Now, this little visit actually took place back in April when LSU was on spring break, and I'm JUST now getting around to posting it. I was trying to debate whether or not I could betray my team like this (kidding, actually I wanted a couple more pictures of the stadium before I posted). So Bryan was in the middle of spring ball but I was in the middle of vacation. This is how I spent my Easter!
The Moncrief Center is home to the football operations at UT. It's located right off of their stadium, which we all know I'm a huge fan of. I've attended three Texas Tech games in this stadium, but this was my first time visiting their operations building. While the building itself is pretty old, they've kept it very updated (they do at least one update a year to something). That's all thanks to donors… their donor base definitely keeps them in the facilities game, even if their team is struggling a little in recent years.
A major renovation was just approved for their actual stadium, which they desperately needed (we'll see the field later). It'll be cool to see how that turns out!
This lobby is known as their Hall of Fame and is the only area open to the public. This is actually the second floor of the building since their stadium is partly underground (this side of the stadium is on the side of a hill).
And, of course, you've got to honor Mack Brown right in the entryway. Mack Brown was one of their many legendary coaches and "retired" in 2013. I put that in quotations because he actually didn't want to retire, but UT forced him to.
Mack Brown was UT's head coach all through my years of growing up watching football. Oh, I HATED Mack Brown. With everything in me. In 2015, the Cotton Bowl was selected to host the first CFP National Championship game so I came back to work it. For the game, we didn't have many responsibilities as I was in team events and those all took place the week leading up to the game. So we just found an empty suite and hung in there for the game. About 5 minutes before kick-off, in walks Mack Brown. And as much as the Texas Tech fan in me didn't want to like him… oh, that's a hard man not to like. So personable, so friendly, he'll talk to you about anything! One of his 2004 National Championship players came with him and has since become a good friend of mine, too (Hi Quan – this is for you): I guess not all Longhorns are bad.
They definitely aren't short on individual player awards either, which I thought was pretty cool to display. When individual players win trophies, they keep the original but the school has the option to purchase a duplicate. So really the school goes through all the trouble to ensure that their individual players' achievements are honored, too, and I think that's pretty cool. This is by far the biggest display for individual awards that I've seen at a program.
Something else unique about their displays are the portrait paintings up above. Those are hand-painted of each individual who received All-America honors.
… some of the most boring uniforms in college football though. Them, and Alabama. Not a fan. But I guess I'm so used to a new uniform almost every game that I'm a little biased. Well, I'm also a little biased for more than one reason! Okay, I'm (mostly) done.
This room was a room we didn't have at Texas Tech… well, not yet.
UT has 4 National Championship titles with their most recent in 2005. Don't ask a UT grad about 2009, though. The others were in 1963, 1969 and 1970 I believe. But all three of those were under Coach Darrell Royal, who their stadium is named after.
Again, they really do have nice displays for their football alumni. I can appreciate this. It's been so long now that I can't remember much of what I read but the stuff is really interesting. This room is considered part of the trophy room and is also open to the public.
Now's where the fun stuff begins – the stuff that's NOT open to the public! We started in the locker room which was accessed by this hallway here. This hallway actually lights up and moves according to body movement. It also plays sound according to body movement. It was pretty awesome!
Their graphics were pretty great, too.
Honestly this is a pretty typical locker room layout, with the core values of the team on display at the front. Given the recent string of events over the last few years in college sports, treating women with respect has become a big deal at universities. They instill it pretty much everywhere – through displays like these, classes, meetings, etc.
Some of the kids were in there watching TV. I would be too.
The actual lockers were probably the most incredible thing about the locker room, honestly. Each one comes with its own personal TV for their use. They can watch whatever they want. If you look at the first picture of the locker room, they have their name and picture displayed on the TV, but it's fully functional and can be used to watch whenever they want. It's also theirs to keep.
All active NFL alumni also have their own personal lockers in the locker room for whenever they are back in town during off-season. I've actually never seen this at a school before and thought this was an awesome idea! It keeps them interactive with the current players and is a great way to lead by example. More schools should do this.
I mean, for having pretty plane Jane uniforms… this display is great. Again, the graphics. UT's graphics around their facility really just are awesome. Super simple display but it's a good one. These two uniforms are their only uniforms – one home and one away. They're one of the few teams left that stick with two combinations. But, I wouldn't be surprised to see Tom Herman (their new coach) change this. He's a young guy and plays into the materialism of recruiting. I don't know anything for sure, but it wouldn't shock me! Especially if he does well. Year 1 was a little rough for him but UT fans are behind him.
At LSU, we do student-athletes of the month in academics. You'd be shocked at how excited the kids get when they are selected. It's not necessarily based on grades or academic performance, but more based on improvement, good test scores, effort, and so on. Doing stuff like this goes a long way with the students, so it's good to see UT display this so prominently.
They love the Rose Bowl at UT, so you'll see that everywhere. But they definitely aren't short on bowl appearances, either.
All of these trophies are on display in the trophy lobby but here they are again in a list form. I didn't know UT only had two Heisman winners though. I would've guessed one or two more. And I was shocked to see it hadn't been anyone recently. Colt McCoy? Vince Young? I didn't realize neither of them won it. People were obsessed with them.
When I went to Kentucky (see their football facility here!"), I mentioned that they were the only school that I'd see do the gloves instead of helmets for their NFL display. Guess there's another!
"Texas, Fight" is obviously their fight song, and they're very proud of it! It's better than "The Eyes of Texas Are Upon You" … that sound creeps me out a little. Whoops.
The helmets go in order from oldest to newest, too. That's interesting to check out. Can see why they never made an orange one again, though!
The Red River Rivalry between the two worst teams in college football… kidding, but really, I don't think I could pick who I disliked more as a Tech fan between the two. But moving on, there's an entire wall dedicated to this rivalry, and it definitely is one of the best in college football. The river that separates the bottom of Oklahoma from the top of Texas is literally red because of the clay in the ground. Honestly, the rivalry isn't just between Texas and Oklahoma football. It's between anything and everything Oklahoma! It's pretty hysterical.
That countdown is way off since this was in March. That game always takes place the first weekend in October and is also when the Texas State Fair happens in Dallas. That is one wild weekend. I highly suggest it, even if you don't attend the game (because tickets are, like, $200+)!
This TV runs nothing but Red River Rivalry games and highlights.
… and this TV (the little corner you can see) runs nothing but the Longhorn Network.
The Longhorn Network is the ESPN television network for only UT. Want the rest of the conference to hate you? Do something like this. A lot of my dislike from UT stems from their selfish moves like this one. Big 10 Network, SEC Network, Pac-12 Network… that's what you do. But UT doesn't like to play nice with others so they have their own. It hasn't done very well, and I really don't know how much longer it lasts. Their contract isn't up, though, so it's still around.
Their training room was fairly small in size compared to others but I believe this is football only.
Bryan filled me in on this story and I'm so upset that I can't remember much about it. But what a great tribute. This is right in the middle of the players' tunnel entrance and they run past it during every home game entrance. There's a film on it that I really want to watch. Freddie's story is that he played at UT and passed away from a lost battle with cancer during his junior year. Stuff like that breaks my heart but it seems like Freddie definitely left a legacy behind and will never be forgotten.
We always sit on the visitor's side of the stadium in the opposite end zone so I've never seen this tunnel so close up! Usually it's very, very tiny from our nosebleed seats! They also keep the player families on the opposite side of the stadium so whenever the school gave us tickets we were far away. Probably not a bad strategy!
Texas Relays was going on while I was in town visiting so all of these are high school athletes warming up. Texas Relays is a chaotic time in Austin.
Their scoreboard used to be one of the biggest and the best in college football. It's a little outdated now, but I have no doubt that part of the stadium renovation budget is going towards this.
This is Bevo's home – Bevo is their live mascot. When I was little, I loved Bevo! I still think Bevo's pretty cute today. But Raider Red has my heart.
I'll be back in this stadium on September 7, 2019 for the Texas vs. LSU game. And considering Texas Tech is on a winning streak against our enemy, I'll probably be back here later in 2019 for our next away game against them! But hopefully we can pull out the win for the 4th year in a row in Lubbock this year… 'cause I'll be at that game, too!

This kind of parking situation degrades our neighborhood from being mentioned in "Money Magazine".
Code Enforcement, The Police Chief, and City Council have allowed 2 vendor business to operate out of the Sycamore Cul-de-sac over a 1.5 year period, starting March, 2012 to November, 2013. We in the neighborhood talk constantly of the public corruption and $$$$ changing hands to allow this illegal vendor activity for so many years. One Vendor is "Mr. Rooter. The other Vendor is "Handyman".
I put in a "verified statement" against Louisville's Police Chief and Louisville's Head of Code Enforcement. They have to explain why they are allowing the illegal actions from renters in our neighborhood. I hope some positive changes comes from it. I also put in a "verified statement" against our mayor and a Ward II representative. I took them to court and the situation is still continuing. What is the point of having a court system in our city?
Here are 5 of our City laws from our Municode.
4. Residential low density R-L. The residential low density R-L district is comprised of typical urban density single-family residential areas.
7. Commercial neighborhood C-N. The commercial neighborhood C-N district is comprised of areas to accommodate mixed residential and commercial uses. Uses in this district shall be strictly reviewed to ensure compatibility.

Trees located on desirable urban lots often fall victim to the needs, real or perceived, of developers and homeowners looking to build. In the case of the Borthwick 3rd unit, the original design was refined with input from several arborists to retain a significant, beautiful old Black Walnut, but a Hawthorne and smaller Black Walnut both had to be removed to make room for the new dwelling. See before and after pictures below.
However, in the spirit of repurposing whenever possible, sections of both trees were saved and re-milled. The hawthorne will go to a wood obsessed, furniture building friend who brought his version of an "Alaskan Chainsaw Mill" to complete some rough milling onsite. The black walnut was milled on site with a more sophisticated "Wood-Mizer" portable mill into 1 1/2" thick slabs. These slabs will air dry until ready for final planing into stair treads for the new unit.


If you've been following this blog you know that at Filabot, we have fun. And when we aren't doing the work we're supposed to be doing we're taking advantage of our various printers, filaments and machines.
Working on your side projects is encouraged here. Reason #31 of why it's such a great place to work.
This week we thought we'd carry on the vehicle vein and talk about another employee and his quest for a better vehicle. Our lead engineer Kevin Orth has printed a custom tail light for his truck. And while his truck is sometimes operational, this tail light design has worked out great so far.
3D printing is great for producing quick runs of identical custom parts and Kevin is able to match and design almost anything (or download it from thingverse). Like a savant listening and playing back a song he's just heard, Kev can look at something once and devise a way to design and duplicate. With 15 minutes of design time and about 50 minutes of printing a quick but durable solution is possible and that's what this tail light represents.
BAM: A strip mount tail light for Kev's truck!
What you see in the pictures are red colored PETG with no UV stabilizer additive. What's great about Kevin repairing his tail light is that we plan on seeing how well it performs outdoors because, as you may well know, PETG is susceptible to UV damage.
At Filabot, we're currently sourcing a UV stabilizer additive: seeing & testing how durable it is. More on that in the coming weeks.
Anyway, what do you print? Share your stories, failures, successes, whatever! We'd love to hear what you're up to, especially if you're using Filabot filament!


M: So if the cultures are necessarily equal and ideally different, do you think the chair is a necessity?
U: For sure the chair comes from different necessities that have been changing over evolution. If you think about the Medieval era the single seat was really elitist, the rest of the people would sit on a standard bench. I think that also there are connotations with what kind of food you eat and how you sit in order to eat. We collected a lot of stools during the research of Equally Different, we found many different types, foldable, stackable, made out of any kind of material, but if you make a general guess they all probably come from the first which was probably a rock. There is nothing more to say that design is an idea about how to use something.
M: Aldo Colonetti in an interview with Gillo Dorfles, says that any designer should analyse rituals and habits during the process of making an object. I personally agree I believe that it's one of the features that make an object different from someone's elses. How important do you think it is to have a cultural approach to a project?
serving a wide market, where you can have your cultural connotation but it's because the designer chose to do it, not because it's required. And that's why it's not that easy to find an object that can represent a culture truly. Robert Robertson in the 90's came out with the world "glocalism", a mix in between local culture and global influence, and directly led me to think about our second trip to Africa, in Senegal, where we were walking around the local market and we found stoves with Nike logos, which makes us laugh if we think about it, but shows how deep this influence is going.


In his 2013 State of the Union Address, President Obama laid out a challenge—to governments, organizations and individuals—to end extreme poverty in the next two decades. Feed the Future has made strong progress toward this goal, including leading a global reinvestment in agriculture, designing and implementing modern development assistance programs aligned to country-led strategies in focus countries, establishing a rigorous analytical base, developing a research strategy, and launching innovative public-private partnerships. The 2014 Feed the Future Progress Report demonstrates that we are starting to see results from this work.
Even with these successes, the U.S. government has encountered challenges. The Feed the Future Results Framework is ambitious and has raised the bar on the rigor agencies expect from themselves, their implementing partners, and partner countries. To be sustainable, the monitoring and evaluation framework must use data from partner country sources for certain indicators; however, the quality and availability of data vary widely across countries. To address this, the U.S. government is engaging in capacity-building efforts with partner government institutions and supporting the implementation of the United Nations Global Strategy to Improve Agricultural and Rural Statistics.
Achieving widespread adoption of modernized farming practices and agricultural technologies in Feed the Future-focus countries is particularly difficult among the most resource-poor farmers. Higher poverty levels tend to correlate with higher risk aversion among smallholders, making it less likely that they will use new methods and invest in new technologies. Therefore, Feed the Future is building an evidence base on what works and identifying how we will support partner country policymakers in advancing policy reforms critical to increasing technology use. These actions support the country-led processes in Feed the Future-focus countries and, in Africa, will advance the efforts of the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition (for additional information on the progress of the New Alliance for Food Security and Nutrition, see the 2013-2014 Progress Report).
Recognizing that inequalities between men and women farmers' access to productive inputs constrain agricultural productivity, Feed the Future strives to ensure greater gender equality and women's empowerment through its programming. Although there has been progress in reaching individual female farmers and in developing a robust monitoring framework, the data in the Progress Report show uneven success in empowering women's organizations and creating policy change.
As the U.S. government addresses these and other challenges, the current test is not only to sustain progress, but to improve and accelerate our efforts. To get there, the U.S. government must continue to work smarter—challenging assumptions and building our evidence base, pursuing innovative partnerships, breaking down ineffective organizational boundaries, linking relief to development, and scaling up innovation and private investment to spur agricultural growth.
The Department of State and USAID work to ensure that gender equality and women's issues are fully integrated into the formulation and conduct of U.S. foreign policy and development programming. The Department's Full Participation Fund (FP Fund) supports innovative efforts by bureaus and posts to integrate gender into their overall efforts, including their operations and programming. The FP Fund offers posts and bureaus the opportunity to demonstrate how gender can be integrated into the day-to-day foreign policy-making process of the U.S., while crafting programs that directly promote empowerment of women and girls abroad.
The Department and USAID both provide staff and implementing partners with guidance on how to execute U.S. strategic priorities identified in the U.S. National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security, and U.S. Strategy to Prevent and Respond to Gender-based Violence Globally. Both the Department and USAID also support stand-alone programs to address Gender-based Violence (GBV) across the globe. For example, through the Full Participation fund, Embassy Guinea, will launch a new partnership with the Government of Guinea and other multilateral and civil society actors to eliminate female genital mutilation (FGM/C) in eight districts– impacting up to 65,000 girls. Using GBV Incentive Funds, USAID/Haiti will strengthen GBV survivor-centered services and referral pathways through improving institutional capacity, while also preventing future instances of GBV through bolstering community resilience and opening up economic opportunities to reduce the vulnerability of survivors. For more information regarding progress results on the U.S. National Action Plan on Women, Peace, and Security and U.S. Strategy to Prevent and Respond to Gender-based Violence Globally, please refer to each strategy's annual implementation reports.
To ensure that all staff has capacity to integrate gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls effectively in their work, both State and USAID have expanded training opportunities on gender. In particular, USAID requires staff who design, evaluate, or manage strategies and projects, or who directly or indirectly supervise these staff, to receive basic gender training by taking the online course Gender 101. Over 4,000 people have already completed this course. Gender 102 and Gender 103 are also now available to all staff online. These courses focus on describing USAID's requirements related to gender integration and providing staff with concrete examples and methodological tools to build the skills required to carry out these mandates. Sector-specific, in-person gender courses (e.g., in Democracy and Governance, Global Health, conflict, human trafficking) have also been designed and delivered. Similarly, through the Foreign Service Institute, the Department offers both a classroom course and distance learning course on promoting gender equality, and is working to integrate a focus on gender equality in relevant regional, tradecraft, and leadership courses.
USAID requires that gender analysis be carried out and the results incorporated into the design of all projects. For example, USAID understands that reducing gender inequality and recognizing the contribution of women to agriculture is critical to achieving global food security. As a result, Feed the Future integrates gender-based analysis into all of its investments. New analytical tools, like the Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index equip USAID with the means to identify ways to help women overcome obstacles and constraints. A major accomplishment in this area is the 2014 Global Report on the Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index. This report included comprehensive, empirical analysis baseline measures of women's empowerment for 13 Feed the Future countries. Feed the Future aims to strategically apply these findings to further inform gender integration efforts in programming.
In late 2011 and early 2012, building resilience to recurrent crisis emerged as a USAID priority. Large-scale droughts in 2011-2012 once again underscored the costs of not addressing the underlying causes of recurrent crises in the Horn of Africa and Sahel. These include the humanitarian costs measured in lost lives, livelihoods, dignity, and aspiration, as well as the developmental costs to national and regional economies. For example, unfettered drought in Kenya between 2008 and 2011 is estimated to have cost the Kenyan economy $12 billion. It also includes the economic costs of repeatedly responding to these crises with humanitarian assistance as attested to by the $1.5 billion the U.S. government spent in responding to humanitarian crises in the Horn of Africa and Sahel in 2011-2012 alone. Together with its development partners, USAID is committed to the shared goal of building resilience to get ahead of chronic crisis, protect and advance development gains, and make populations around the world less vulnerable to inevitable shocks.
In FY 2014, USAID launched the Global Resilience Partnership (Resilience Partnership), a new Public/Private Partnership between USAID, the Swedish International Development Coordination Agency (SIDA), and the Rockefeller Foundation. The Resilience Partnership aims to help millions of vulnerable people in the Sahel, the Horn of Africa, and South and Southeast Asia better adapt to shocks and chronic stresses and invest in a more secure future. Specific goals of the partnership include, (1) developing new models for accessing, integrating, and using data and information; (2) increasing the ability of people, communities, systems, and countries to forecast, manage, and adapt to a variety of risks; (3) developing new evidence-based tools and approaches to align key actors, and prioritize and scale-up resilience investments and innovations; (4) engaging a range of actors, including the private sector, to pioneer resilience-building products, leverage resilience investments, and build local capacity; and, (5) promoting more effective integration of development and humanitarian resources to directly address underlying vulnerabilities. As its first activity, the Resilience Partnership launched a Global Resilience Challenge, which called for multi-sectoral teams to collaborate on innovative solutions to the toughest resilience challenges in the three focus regions.
In FY 2014, USAID continued to support efforts to build resilience to recurrent crisis in vulnerable, dry-land areas in the Horn of Africa and Sahel. These efforts support country-led strategies and aim to sustainably expand economic opportunities on and off farms, strengthen natural resource, conflict and disaster risk management, and improve health, nutrition, and human capital. Illustrative achievements from these efforts include nearly a quarter of a million hectares of land under improved Natural Resource Management during the first year of consolidated resilience-building efforts in Niger and Burkina Faso, improved access to year round water sources for more than 163,000 people in the drought-impacted drylands of Ethiopia, the expansion of livestock insurance services in Ethiopia and Kenya, and strengthened Drought Cycle and Disaster Risk Management in 145 communities in northern Kenya that were impacted by the 2011 drought. USAID's continued efforts to build resilience in the Horn of Africa reached an estimated 3.8 million people in FY 2014. The more recent launch of USAID's resilience efforts in the Sahel will build on foundational Food for Peace development programs and Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance Disaster Risk Reduction investments and reach an estimated 1.9 million people.

DUI Legislation 2016
Jonathan Rands
New DUI Laws are once again afoot. The DUI landscape is constantly changing, whether they be complete overhauls or subtle tweaks, there is not a year that goes by without DUI law amendments. This year there are 3 significant changes.
New DUI Laws are once again afoot. The DUI landscape is constantly changing, whether they be complete overhauls or subtle tweaks, there is not a year that goes by without DUI law amendments. This year there are 3 significant changes. House Bill 2280 passed the Senate with a unanimous vote after clearing the House in February. It then headed to and was approved by Governor Jay Inslee.
The Bill reads as follows:
AN ACT Relating to making felony driving under the influence of 2 intoxicating liquor, marijuana, or any drug a class B felony; amending RCW 46.61.502; and prescribing penalties. BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON: 5 Sec. 1. RCW 46.61.502 and 2013 c 3 s 33 (Initiative Measure No. 502) are each amended to read as follows:
A person is guilty of driving while under the influence of 8 intoxicating liquor, marijuana, or any drug if the person drives a vehicle within this state:
And the person has, within two hours after driving, an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher as shown by analysis of the person's breath or blood made under RCW 46.61.506; or
The person has, within two hours after driving, a THC concentration of 5.00 or higher as shown by analysis of the person's blood made under RCW 46.61.506; or
While the person is under the influence of or affected by intoxicating liquor, marijuana, or any drug; or
While the person is under the combined influence of or affected by intoxicating liquor, marijuana, and any drug.
The fact that a person charged with a violation of this section is or has been entitled to use a drug under the laws of this state shall not constitute a defense against a charge of violating this section.
(a) It is an affirmative defense to a violation of subsection (1)(a) of this section, which the defendant must prove by a preponderance of the evidence, that the defendant consumed a sufficient quantity of alcohol after the time of driving and before the administration of an analysis of the person's breath or blood to cause the defendant's alcohol concentration to be 0.08 or more within two hours after driving. The court shall not admit evidence of this defense unless the defendant notifies the prosecution prior to the omnibus or pretrial hearing in the case of the defendant's intent to assert the affirmative defense. (b) It is an affirmative defense to a violation of subsection (1)(b) of this section, which the defendant must prove by a preponderance of the evidence, that the defendant consumed a sufficient quantity of marijuana after the time of driving and before the administration of an analysis of the person's blood to cause the defendant's THC concentration to be 5.00 or more within two hours after driving. The court shall not admit evidence of this defense unless the defendant notifies the prosecution prior to the omnibus
(a) Analyses of blood or breath samples obtained more than two hours after the alleged driving may be used as evidence that within two hours of the alleged driving, a person had an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more in violation of subsection (1)(a) of this section, and in any case in which the analysis shows an alcohol concentration above 0.00 may be used as evidence that a person was under the influence of or affected by intoxicating liquor or any drug in violation of subsection (1)(c) or (d) of this section. (b) Analyses of blood samples obtained more than two hours after the alleged driving may be used as evidence that within two hours of the alleged driving, a person had a THC concentration of 5.00 or more in violation of subsection (1)(b) of this section, and in any case in which the analysis shows a THC concentration above 0.00 may be used as evidence that a person was under the influence of or affected by marijuana in violation of subsection (1)(c) or (d) of this section.
Except as provided in subsection (6) of this section, a violation of this section is a gross misdemeanor.
It is a class C felony punishable under chapter 9.94A 2 RCW, or chapter 13.40 RCW if the person is a juvenile, if:
The person has four or more prior offenses within ten years as defined in RCW 46.61.5055; or
The person has ever previously been convicted of:
Vehicular homicide while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or any drug, RCW 46.61.520(1)(a);
Vehicular assault while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or any drug, RCW 46.61.522(1)(b);
An out-of-state offense comparable to the offense specified in (b)(i) or (ii) of this subsection; or
A violation of this subsection (6) or RCW 46.61.504(6).
The only language that was amended in this statute was section 6. It is this section that changes the current and existing law where a fifth (5th) DUI conviction within 10 years of the first DUI arrest, from being a Class C felony, to a Class B. This means that the maximum penalty was five years in prison and/or $10,000 fine, and as a Class C now increases that maximum upon conviction t Class B felony, which has a maximum of 10 years in prison, a $20,000 fine or both. Moving the class from C to B now doubles the maximum. A person's first four DUIs are gross misdemeanors (subjecting a person convicted person to a up to a year of jail and up to a fine of $5,000.00). A otherwise "regular" DUI is also a felony for someone who is arrested a second time in their lifetime if they previously committed vehicular homicide or vehicular assault while intoxicated.
This law is prospective, meaning currently charged Felony DUI Defendants are Class C, but anyone charged after the effective date, or who's date of violation is prior to the effective date will remain Class C, regardless of when the case is filed. The new class designation has no specific effective date, and when that is the case the rule is that all bills are effective 90 days from the end of the session in which they were enacted. In this case, that means that the new designation becomes effective in early June this year, 2016 (June 9-10 or so).
The other major change is to RCW making a Vehicular Homicide By Way Of Reckless Driving from a seriousness level 11 to 13. The higher the seriousness level the more severe the crime and punishment (seriousness level 1 being the least serious and least sentence ranges to level 16 being the most serious and highest maximum and sentence ranges).
What this change has done is made Vehicular Homicide, by way of reckless driving, the same seriousness level as Vehicular Homicide by DUI (.08 or above and THC 5 and above). A quick review here, a person who is charged with Vehicular Homicide can be found to have done the crime by way of being DUI, or by Reckless Driving, or by Driving with a Disregard For The Safety Of Others. Each method of proof and conviction previously was a different seriousness level and likewise a different sentence range. By changing the Reckless Driving level, and making it equal to DUI, a convicted person faces same sentence despite lesser culpability. More importantly the ability to plea bargain close cases from DUI to Reckless is now evaporated. This means more trials and more system resources used for cases that would previously be resolved in a manner that both the State Prosecutors and Defense Attorneys could agree upon, rather than an all or nothing trial. This was especially helpful in close cases where both sides faced maximum risk.
The war on DUI is frequently fought with harsher sentences, and lowering of evidentiary burdens, but sometimes the in doing so the casualties may well be the system, and even victims who watch as a close case is tried and the Defendant found Not Guilty by a jury of his/her peers when a compromise could have been reached had the law remained the way it was.

If you want not only to relax but also to heal, thus combining the useful with the pleasant, then go on a therapeutic vacation!
improvement of mood and well-being in General.
Especially important this kind of leisure for pensioners. As a rule, the treatment involves relaxing stay in motels or boarding houses.
Currently, medical tourism has become very popular and relevant for many who want to rest, so many countries and resorts offer tourists a variety of therapeutic treatments and SPA.
Therapeutic recreation needs of almost every resident of the city, being in a constant state of stress, the hustle and bustle.
Modern sanatoriums and resorts offer to its clients a very rich list of therapeutic procedures for its tourists.
Consider the main types of Wellness programs offered in therapeutic recreation. You may select a suitable alternative therapeutic procedures.
1. Therapeutic recreation at sea.
Rest and treatment at sea, which for centuries recommended by doctors and healers for their patients, now known as the new buzzword thalassotherapy.
Location — right on the beach! After all, the main factor in the treatment and the rest of the sea-a unique Maritime climate. Healing riparian microclimate has beneficial effects on human health, regenerate stamina, improves oxygen. The coastal marine climate create air ions, and their number, according to scientists, is reduced at a distance of 1000-2000 meters from the water. So important to stay as close as possible to sea water.
Active use of marine water: bathing in the open sea and in swimming pools, acceptance of sea baths.
Use for therapeutic purposes a variety of marine products and substances: marine mud, silt, algae in the form of applications, wraps, etc.
Heliotherapy. Sunnier baths as we know make up the human body and substances.
2. The treatment of thermal springs.
Treatment with mineral and thermal waters, known since ancient times, was considered a panacea for almost all diseases.
It is important that the mineral and thermal springs there is a large number of nutrients and substances that are easily and quickly digested by the human body. That is why mineral and thermal waters are widely used in different courses of treatments.
Salt baths. External treatment with mineral springs is called balneotherapy, which is widely used in the treatment of diseases of the cardiovascular system.
For patients with diseases of the peripheral nervous system and inflammation of the pelvic organs in women and prostatitis and men is very useful the adoption of chloride and sodium baths. This procedure has a strong analgesic and anti-inflammatory effect.Sulphate hot springs. They are widely used to treat people with diseases of the musculoskeletal system. Such sources quench your joint pain, and also help in rheumatism, impairment of back muscles.
Sulfur-containing sources. Data sources used for the prevention of such diseases as psoriasis and neurodermatitis. Sulfur springs have a beneficial effect on human skin, as they have a soothing and antibacterial action.
Water with a high content of carbon dioxide used for the treatment of hypertensive and people with cardiovascular diseases. Because water enriched with carbon dioxide, supplying oxygen to the human body and activates blood circulation of the person. This water is beneficial effect on the General condition of human skin, it becomes pink, beautiful, smooth and elastic.
Treatment with mineral and thermal springs is very popular for diseases of the nervous system, and respiratory tract. Treatments using mineral and thermal waters are also for cosmetic purposes.
3. Mud treatment (the mud).
the content of living organisms and biologically active substances.
Dirt also contain amine bases, ammonia derivatives and hydrogen sulfide. The formation of these substances is due to the interaction between microbes and the environment. Due to the content of these substances in the mud and the ability to penetrate the skin, the mud person has a curative effect.
Thermal factor. In contact with the body, the dirt slowly and gradually gives off its heat to the human body, which provides long heat retention. Due to these properties increase action oragnize nutrients muds and enhanced healing effect in the treatment.
The mechanical factor. When applying mud on the human skin friction occurs, it has beneficial effect on the receptor apparatus of the skin and mucous membranes.
Chemical factor. The chemical composition of the mud varies and depends on the region of its origin and method of formation of a substance (mud knoll, peat, silt). Biologically active substances in the composition of the mud have good penetrating ability, they can cause cellular responses, such as more active regeneration of the skin, its healing, and many others.
Mud therapy helps to improve the movement of red blood cells in the body and transport oxygen in the blood, increases blood circulation and helps regulate metabolism.

Northwest delegation reacts to Barr's description of Mueller Report
March 25, 2019 News Local News Comments Off on Northwest delegation reacts to Barr's description of Mueller Report
Representative Greg Walden
"I supported Robert Mueller's appointment as special counsel and consistently supported ensuring his two-year investigation was free from any political influence. Special Counsel Mueller deserves the gratitude of all Americans for his public service and for conducting this important investigation with integrity and professionalism. His exhaustive work makes clear that President Trump and his campaign did not collude with the Russians. Period. The special counsel and his team came to this conclusion after a rigorous investigation that followed all leads to get to the facts. Now, those who promoted this conspiratorial theory should accept the facts of Mr. Mueller's findings."
Sen Ron Wyden
Barr made it clear before he was nominated that he didn't think Trump committed obstruction of justice. That's why Trump made him AG.
The public needs to see what is in Mueller's report, as well as his investigative materials. Any effort to hide the Special Counsel's work from the American people will reek of a cover up.
If Mueller did present arguments and evidence for why the President of the United States obstructed justice, they need to be made public. Now.
Sen. Jeff Merkley
AG Barr's summary is grossly insufficient. Congress and the public need to see the FULL #MuellerReport IMMEDIATELY.
Barr was handpicked because he said the president couldn't be charged with obstruction and, guess what? He decided no obstruction! Shocker!
Just a reminder: the standard to be worthy of serving as President of the United States isn't "the evidence wasn't sufficient to prove criminal behavior beyond a reasonable doubt."
