Vegesack est un district du nord du land de Brême. Il a une superficie de 11,86 km² et compte environ  habitants.

Histoire
De 1619 à 1623, la ville de Brême y fait construire par des spécialistes hollandais le premier port artificiel d'Allemagne. La Weser s'ensablant à Brême, l'activité portuaire est repoussée en aval.

En 1741, pour sauvegarder son statut de ville impériale, Brême doit céder la majeure partie de Vegesack à son voisin, l'électorat de Hanovre.
Cependant, l'ensablement continuant et la taille des bateaux augmentant, Vegesack est à son tour déserté et n'est bientôt plus qu'un lieu de réparation pour les bateaux.

Why is it that some people experience such dissonance between their biological sex and their inner identity? Is gender something we are or something we do? Are the traditional binary male and female gender roles relevant in an increasingly fluid and flexible world? This perceptive, stimulating volume assesses the connections between gender, psychology, culture and sexuality, and reveals how individual and social attitudes have evolved over the centuries.
Sally Hines is Professor of Sociology and Gender Identities at the University of Leeds, where she was also Director of the Centre for Interdisciplinary Gender Studies from 2009 to 2014.

I grew up in a small town in Vermont and it is there that my interest in photography began as I wandered around my family's land taking pictures of the beautiful space I was fortunate enough to call home. Eventually my interest in nature photography transitioned into photojournalism, as I realized photographing people and telling their stories is where my passion lies. I am so grateful to those who have given me the ability to do so over the years by graciously opening up their lives.
I am a graduate of Boston University's photojournalism program and was photo editor of the college's independent student-run newspaper, The Daily Free Press. I spent my final year at BU as a photography intern at the Harvard Gazette and for the Boston Red Sox. After college I moved to Cedar Rapids, Iowa for an internship that quickly turned into a full-time position as a photojournalist at KCRG-TV. From Iowa, I had the opportunity to move closer to home and work first for WHDH-TV as a freelance photographer and editor and then WFXT-TV as a photojournalist in Boston, Massachusetts. Currently, I am a photojournalist at CNN based in Washington, D.C.

It's been alone for two million years, during which time it lost the ability to fly, and its habitat has shrunk to just a few hundred metres of stream with a view of Dunedin Airport—but the Maungatua stonefly is finally enjoying a moment in the spotlight. Its discovery was an accident: Jon Waters, a professor of zoology at the University of Otago, was out in the Maungatua Range looking for an entirely different species of stonefly. But this species was different, and Waters knew it. It's flightless, chunky, and short, less than two centimetres long. PhD student Brodie Foster, who led its taxonomic description, called it a "relict". Juvenile stoneflies, called nymphs, live under stones in rapids. At first, researchers found only nymphs of the Maungatua stonefly, so they reared a male to adulthood to study. DNA analysis confirmed it as a new species, named Zelandoperla maungatuaensis. Landcare Research considers nymphs from the Zelandoperla genus to be indicators of good water quality—they're among the first species to disappear from an unhealthy stream.
Chytrid fungus is the Genghis Khan of the amphibian world: it has spent the past 50 years invading nations one by one, slaughtering as it goes. It has spread to more than 60 countries, wiped out 90 species, and caused significant population declines in more than 500 species, according to an international study led by the Australian National University. The fungus, which eats the skin of amphibians, is responsible for the world's greatest biodiversity loss due to a disease. Researchers say it should be considered one of the most damaging invasive species in the world—up there with rats and cats in terms of the number of species it endangers. Though chytrid is present in New Zealand and Australia, one nearby land mass remains a sanctuary: New Guinea, which is home to six per cent of the world's frog species. In June, a team of 30 international experts published a paper in Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment calling for greater support and protection for New Guinea's island haven.
Three fathers, two mothers, one father and two mothers—all are naturally occuring parent combinations for honeybees. Honeybees are haplodiploid, which means that females hatch from fertilised eggs (and have two parents) while males hatch from unfertilised eggs (and have no father). This makes it possible for new forms of reproduction to occur, and new research into bees' DNA, published in Biology Letters last November, found that they can have multiple parents of various sexes. Researchers estimate that one to two per cent of bees are born this way—they're known as sex mosaics, or gynandromorphs, and have a mixture of male and female characteristics.
I spy for science
A citizen-science project to spot Otago skinks will help a Dunedin PhD student collect valuable data about the weather conditions that they prefer. Jo Virens set up eight cameras in Redbank Reserve to photograph Otago skink habitat every minute. The result: 750,000 images. Virens now needs help identifying which pictures feature skink appearances. By plotting the reptiles' activity alongside detailed data on wind, solar radiation, temperature and humidity, Virens will be able to figure out which temperature conditions best suit them. "It's all about how that affects body temperature, they're going to be wanting to maintain a body temperature of probably around 25 to 35 degrees." Then, using localised weather projections for the next 100 years, Virens will be able to create a skink forecast: will there be skink-friendly weather, encouraging them to bask all day long? Or will they need to move to new habitat to survive? There aren't many skinks to spot—they're endangered—but they pop into the frame often enough to tempt a viewer to spot just one more. "I'm not expecting it to be that entertaining," says Virens. "I'm hoping the challenge behind it is what's going to be appealing about it." Otago skinks have black and gold markings reminiscent of lichen growing on rock, and reach up to 30 centimetres in length. Their patterns are unique—individual skinks can be identified from pictures of their face markings. Not that they always come that close in Virens' pictures. Virens has set up the project on citizen-science platform Zooniverse—anyone can view 10 time-lapse images at a time, and flag when Otago skinks appear. Follow this shortcut to access them: nzgeo.com/skink The skinks are hard to spot, warns Virens, so look closely. "The beta test revealed that false negatives—people missing skinks—were relatively common, whereas false positives—people saying they saw a skink when there wasn't one—practically never happened."
Fossilised fish flock together
Fish have been forming shoals since at least the Eocene Epoch, according to this fossil of 259 tiny, extinct Erismatopterus levatus, which lived about 50 million years ago in giant lakes that covered Wyoming, Colorado and Utah in the United States. By analysing the positions and swimming directions of the fish, researchers from Arizona State University found their group behaviour to be the same as fish species today: they avoid straying too far from the shoal and swimming too close to each other. Communication and behaviour are usually absent from the fossil record, but in this case, a mystery remains: how were these fish preserved mid-swim?

Spearfishers are taking aim at freshwater pests instead of dwindling marine species.
The wreck of the penguins
Why did hundreds of dead kororā—little blue penguins—wash up on beaches around the country two summers ago? Has their fate got anything to do with the weather? Or has it got something to do with us?
Too much browsing
Is it true that deer act like moa in our forests, filling the ecological niche that moa left empty? Nope, says a new study by Landcare Research–Manaaki Whenua palaeobiologists Janet Wilmshurst and Jamie Wood. They compared prehistoric moa poo with modern-day deer poo, both from Daley's Flat in the Dart River valley. Using plant pollen preserved in the faeces, they reconstructed the diets of both species, and found a wider variety of pollen in the moa poo. This points to a more diverse forest having existed at the time. Some of the plants found in moa poo are now restricted to areas deer can't reach. (The lower half of the picture above is a boulder-top inaccessible to deer.) "It is the final nail in the coffin for any idea that deer fill the same job vacancy in the ecosystem as moa," says Nic Rawlence, director of the University of Otago's palaeogenetics laboratory. "Ever wondered why our native forests are relatively open under the canopy? Now you know why."
Bat maps
The lesser short-tailed bat was once in residence in forests around the country, but has disappeared since the arrival of humans, thanks to forest clearance and the introduction of predators. Short-tailed bats are thought to be important pollinators—they crawl on the forest floor to forage for food.
New squid on the block
A number of squid newcomers have been found on a single research expedition to the Kermadecs, an island arc 1000 kilometres northeast of New Zealand. AUT University postdoctoral research fellow Heather Braid defrosted about 150 cephalopod specimens collected in late 2016 on a NIWA deep-sea survey voyage, identifying 43 species. Thirteen of these had not been sighted in New Zealand waters before, including bobtail squids, comb-fin squids and myopsid squids. Five are likely new to science (three of the five are pictured below; the other squid, lower right, is Histioteuthis miranda). Braid extracted DNA from the new species in order to compare them with squids from other parts of the world. [gallery columns="2" link="none" ids="329323,329324,329325,329326"] The Kermadecs are a site of high marine biodiversity, thanks to the juncture of a warm ocean current from the north and a cool current from the south. There is a long-stalled campaign to declare a marine sanctuary across the region. "Pretty much every time they go they find something exciting," says Braid. "We have one of the highest biodiversities of squid and octopus species in the world."

Where are all the spotted shags?
Seabird scientists are creating a fake home for shags on the Noises, an island group off the coast of Auckland, in the hope that the Hauraki Gulf's rapidly diminishing spotted shag population will be fooled into thinking it's a great place to start a family.
Bat signals
Nightfall, and the forest comes alive with squeaking. Or it used to. Lesser short-tailed bats are clinging on in a handful of places, their populations blinking out of existence. Yet researchers are only just beginning to learn about our bat species—New Zealand's only native mammals—and what they're finding out is pretty weird.
Insectpocalypse now
The first global review of studies about the decline of insects predicts the planet will lose its insects within a century if the current rates of extinction continue. Notable insect population crashes have been documented in Puerto Rico, where one study found a 98 per cent decrease in ground insects over 35 years, and the United Kingdom, where butterfly species dropped by 58 per cent in a decade on agricultural land. In Oklahoma, only half of bee species recorded in 1949 were found in 2013, while in Germany, the abundance of flying insects in national parks declined by 75 per cent over 25 years. Insects are the most abundant animals on Earth—they outweigh humans by 17 times—but their mass has been declining by 2.5 per cent a year for the past three decades. The insect rate of extinction is eight times higher than that of birds, mammals and reptiles. According to the analysis, which will be published in Biological Conservation in April, the decline in insect numbers is primarily due to intensive agriculture, heavy pesticide use, loss of habitat through urbanisation and climate change. "Unless we change our ways of producing food, insects as a whole will go down the path of extinction in a few decades," write the authors of the review. "The repercussions this will have for the planet's ecosystems are catastrophic, to say the least."
Moth magnet
On spring nights, bogong moths migrate to the Australian Alps, travelling distances of more than 1000 kilometres to reach the cool mountain caves where they spend their summers aestivating. But how does the moth navigate from its winter breeding grounds to the alps? Tests in a flight simulator found moths found their way by the stars and moon, but became disoriented when researchers deliberately misaligned the sky and the Earth's magnetic field. That magnetic field is crucial to the moths' ability to find their way, making bogong moths the first nocturnal insect known to use magnetic sensitivity as a tool in long-distance migration. (Birds have long been known to navigate using the Earth's magnetic field.) Do other insects have an internal compass tuned to the Earth's magnetic field? Study co-author Eric Warrant, a sensory physiologist from Lund University in Sweden, says monarch butterflies, which migrate by day across the United States to overwinter in Mexico, may also have some magnetic sensitivity, but their primary compass is the sun: "Bogong moths must rely on the Earth's magnetic field because the moon is a very variable and unreliable cue compared to the sun—which is a very constant cue day after day."
Safety in flamboyance
Birds with colourful plumage are better at attracting mates, but also more likely to attract predators—right? Well, no. When a team of New Zealand and Australian biologists investigated whether dull-coloured birds had better survival rates than brightly coloured ones, they found both were equally likely to be attacked. The fairy-wren, an Australian songbird, varies wildly in colour—some have brilliant plumage, while others are nondescript. The researchers placed 3D-printed models of the birds at eight fairy-wren sites in Australia, then settled in to watch. They found that 13.1 per cent of brightly coloured female birds were attacked, compared to 13.6 per cent of dull-coloured females. But there was a wide discrepancy in the rate of attacks between sites, suggesting that survival had more to do with vegetation and location than the flashiness of the birds' feathers. "While being brightly coloured can be important, for example in competing for a mate, the assumption has been that it is costly for birds because it appears to scream 'Here I am, come eat me'," says lead researcher Kristal Cain of the University of Auckland. "It suggests the relationship between predation and colour is not as simple as we might have thought. "Instead, it appears that because males and females behave differently—females often take more risks—bright feathers may be more dangerous for females than for males."
On the spectrum
Birds fly at high speed through dense forests without crashing into trees or leaves—and this navigational prowess may be due to their ability to see ultraviolet light. Two researchers photographed forest habitats with a multispectral camera, allowing them to look at the scenes through the birds' eyes. In a paper published in Nature Communications in January, they determined that contrast between leaf surfaces was greater with UV vision, and speculated that UV vision also helps birds search for particular leaf surfaces, leading them to prey or safe refuge.
Why don't birds have teeth?
Birds may have lost their teeth to speed up hatching time, according to a new theory published in May in Biology Letters. The toothless beak is a relatively recent invention. Dinosaur birds had teeth, and incubated their eggs for a lengthy three to six months. Research on fossil embryos shows tooth formation took 60 per cent of this time. But eggs in open nests are vulnerable to predation, compared with mammal embryos that are protected inside the womb, or eggs that are buried. Losing teeth would allow for a shorter incubation time—and thus a higher survival rate for chicks. Other theories postulate that birds lost their teeth in order to become light enough to fly, and that the toothless beak is better adapted to certain foods.
Taking calls
A happy hihi, or stitchbird, has a call that sounds like two marbles clacking together. Using sound-recording devices, researchers listened to hihi calls in Rotokare Scenic Reserve in Taranaki to determine whether the reintroduction of the birds to the area was successful. "By recording and listening to the hihi calls, we were able to figure out how the birds were using the area they'd been reintroduced to," says PhD candidate Oliver Metcalf, from a Zoological Society of London research team. "Using the calls, we found the birds moved from an initial exploration phase around the habitat, to a settlement phase—meaning the birds had established their own territories." It's hoped that auditory monitoring may replace more-invasive radio tracking for some species. Since 2004, six new populations of hihi have been established across their former range.
Takahē numbers are rising by 10 per cent a year. The problem now is where to put them.

Q: Avoiding conflicting namespace and class name Say I am developing a Calculator application.  It has one class called: Calculator.  Therefore my namespace structure would look like this:
MyCompany.Calculator.Core.Calculator

Unfortunately, this is not right because the same name should not be used for a namespace and a type in it.  This is thoroughly explained in this other SO question. One of the answer to that question suggests to solve the ambiguity by using an Util suffix for the namespace, which would then look like this:
MyCompany.CalculatorUtil.Core.Calculator

This solves the naming ambiguity in the programming language.  However, this kind of naming is in contradiction with good DDD naming practices:  because Util seems to be a "weasel word" according to this article on naming in the ubiquitous language and these should be avoided.
What is the best way to avoid a conflict here in the case of a Calculator?
The application I am developing is much more complex than a simple calculator, however the principle still stands.

A:
Say I am developing a Calculator application. It has one class called: Calculator

What do you think will the class name Calculator stand for? What do expect to find there, just by reading that name? The UI, the domain logic, data, application start code? You cannot tell, this class name is way too ambigous to make sense.
So if I were going to design a Calculator application, there could be an CalculatorDialog class for the UI, a CalculatorController or CalculatorLogic for the domain logic, a CalculatorPresenter or CalculatorViewModel when making an MVP or MVVM architecture, and a CalculatorState if you decide to put the state explictly in some object for persistence. There may be further infrastructure classes like a Program class for the application's entry point.  But not a class called Calculator, this name makes only sense at the namespace level, but not at the class level.
This is not restricted to this specific example. A program or library consists always of different parts - so give those parts a name which distinguish them clearly from the program name and makes them distinguishable from other parts, then the problem won't occur.

A: Is the name of your application 'Calculator'? if it is you may find that that name has already been used.
I would also advise you NOT to use myCompany as part of the namespace. I know  its a standard way but company names change.
Just have:
MyApplicationsRealName.App
MyApplicationsRealName.LibraryName.ClassName

A:
I need to write more for update and select.

This is the issue. The package expects all the procedures in the specification to also be in the body; they aren't so there is an exception.
To list the exceptions you can run:
SHOW ERRORS;

or you can use:
SELECT * FROM USER_ERRORS;

So for your code:
SQL Fiddle
Oracle 11g R2 Schema Setup:
CREATE TABLE zadaci(

)
/
CREATE SEQUENCE SEQ_ZADACI_ID

/* Your code */

Query 1:
SELECT * FROM USER_ERRORS

As an aside - do not use COMMIT in procedures. If you do then you cannot use multiple procedures in a transaction and rollback the entire transaction if later procedures raise an error as the earlier procedures will already have been committed. Instead issue the COMMIT statement in the block that calls the procedure(s).

A: Without knowing the exact error here is what I can infer from the code you posted.
You have 4 procedures in your spec but only two in the body.
You need to define the displayZadatak and modifyZadatak procedures.
EDIT: After the original question was edited here are the issues seen.
The insertZadatak procedure takes 4 arguments but in the body only 3 are present.
In the displayZadatak procedure, Select needs to be clubbed with an INTO in PLSQL to store the selected values. It can be a single variable, rowtype or collection.

A: There is only one small error here in the select procedure

Turkish court threatens to ban Facebook over offensive Prophet Muhammad Pages
Paul Sawers@psawers
A court in Turkey has ordered Facebook to block Pages deemed offensive for their depiction of the Prophet Muhammad.
The Golbasi Duty Magistrate Court passed the order on Sunday, stating that the social network would be blocked in Turkey if it failed to remove the specific Pages in question, reports Anadolu Agency, Turkey's official press agency.
This news follows the recent court order in Turkey banning republication of the front page of Paris-based satirical mag Charlie Hebdo, which features a caricature of the Prophet Muhammad.
In the days that followed the horrific terrorist attack on Charlie Hebdo, which left 12 people dead, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg vowed not to bow to extremists' demands to censor Facebook. But when such demands are made from the highest official echelons, Facebook does find itself in a tricky situation.
Facebook has previously been banned in Pakistan for refusing to remove offensive pictures pertaining to the Prophet Muhammad, but the social network did subsequently bow to pressure and blocked the images in Pakistan. Twitter, too, has been banned in Pakistan over "blasphemous" Muhammad drawings.
Earlier this year, Turkish President Abdullah Gul ruled out a ban on Facebook and other social media sites after Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan hinted that the websites of social networks could be shut down following anonymous postings of audio recordings that reportedly exposed corruption within the government.
"Closure [of the social media sites] is out of the question," said Gul the time. "We are always proud of the reforms we have made regarding the broadening of freedoms."
But it seems that offensive material related to the Prophet Muhammad is a step too far, and Facebook will have to agree to block certain Pages or face a complete countrywide ban.

The Northwest Documentary Film Festival
By Kathryn Turnas
There's a new festival in town! It all started in November 1995 when Lyall Bush, with the support of the Washington Commission for the Humanities, decided to take on the monumental task of creating the first film festival in the Northwest dedicated solely to the genre of documentary film. In a city where there are film festivals for al most every ethnic group and style of filmmaking, the concern was: would a new festival be just another face in the crowd?
January 1996 found Lyall and a small group of volunteers with a budget that would make any producer cringe. They began the task of looking for films, sponsors, speakers and, of course, a place to house the event. The Seattle-based Rocket Comics, Scarecrow Video, and Thomas Kemper Soda Co., along with the Port Townsend Film Society joined the two venue sponsors, the Seattle Art Museum and the Rose Theatre, to offer their support of this event. The speakers who turned out for the festival were well-known to IDA members: Frederick Marx, Hoop Dreams; Terry Zwigoff, Crumb; Ross McElwee, Time Indefinite; and Rick Goldsmith, Tell the Truth and Run: George Seldes and the American Press.
Slated to begin November 1-3, right in the middle of the presidential election, the festival began to take on a political slant with submissions of films: A Perfect Candidate (81 min., R.J. Cutler and David Yan Taylor), The War Room (93 min., D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus), Tell the Truth and Run: George Seldes and the American Press (100 min., Rick Goldsmith), and the all-time standard Primary (60 min., Robert Drew). Added to these feature length films were the shorts House of Un-American Activities, by Frederick Marx, and a mind jolter, Supplementary Justice: The Jimmy Smyth Story, by Patrick Ruane.
Rounding out the festival were films that left a definite impact on the audience. Tibor Jankay: The Art of Survival (40 min., Harlan Steinberger) is a portrait of a man who used his artistic skills to survive the Holocaust. Prisoner 88 (50 min., David Paperny) concerns a Christian who survived four-and-a-half years at Auschwitz and for 30 years donned his striped camp uniform to speak about his burden of guilt and his search for redemption. Time Indefinite (117 min., Ross McElwee) is a follow-up to the hit Sherman's March. The very personal Before You Go: A Daughter's Diary (50 min., Nicole Betancourt) is about the filmmaker's attempt to bridge the gap with her father before he died of AIDS. Anatomy of Desire (55 min., Jean-François Monette and Peter T. Boullata) is a fast paced history of perspectives on homosexuality from the Victorian era to present times. Music documentaries included: The Golden Hugo Award winner Small Wonders (85 min., Allan Miller), a story of an East Harlem violin teacher, which made its Seattle Premiere at the festival; Theremin: An Electronic Odyssey (85 min.), Steve M. Martin's award-winning documentary that chronicles the life and work of Professor Leon Theremin in the field of electronic music; and Terry Zwigoff first film, Louie Bluie (60 min.), a portrait of Howard Armstrong, player of the violin and mandolin from the 1920s and 1930s.
The best of the festival awards were determined by a three member jury: John DeGraaf, independent documentary film producer, whose latest effort Affluenza will air on PBS this year; Tom Dubois, Associate Professor of Scandinavian Studies and Comparative Literature at the University of Washington, who has written on the interplay between community identity and media; and Robert Horton, movie critic for the Everett Herald, who has written for Film Comment and reviews films for KUOW, a Seattle radio station. The films chosen included Tell the Truth and Run: George Seldes and the American Press, a story of the gifted, tenacious reporter who devoted his career to the truth and inspired people such as I.F. Stone and Ralph Nader; even in his 98th year of life he remained the iconoclast—the interview with him and the readings of his works by Edward Asner were inspiring. Also, A Perfect Candidate, covering the Virginia Senate race between Senator Charles Robb and Oliver North, which made the events of Primary look like a walk in the park. The winner in the shotts program was Portland (12 min., Greta Snider), a road movie about three friends who decided it would be great fun for all to rendezvous in the Oregon city.
Opening night speaker was Frederick Marx, commenting on "Journalistic Integrity, Social Awareness, Humanity," followed by a discussion with All Black, Department of Sociology, University of Washington. On the following day, a panel discussion on "The Personal Documentary " included Terry Zwigoff, Frederick Marx and Ross McElwee, moderated by Tom Dubois. A member of the original panel was Steven Shaviro, author of Passion and Excess (1990), The Cinematic Body (1993) and Doom Patrols (1997), unable to attend due to illness. The combination of wit and humor by Zwigoff, Marx and McElwee kept moderator Dubois on his toes and the audience wanting more. (This reviewer suggests that they consider taking their show on the road.)
Seattle is not your typical urban locale. When it's not raining—which doesn't seem to be very often—the general populace gravitates to the great outdoors. The weekend of the festival was one of those rare non-rainy occasions causing the attendance to be less than anticipated. It has been suggested that for next festival in 1998, The Farmer's Almanac should be consulted before choosing the festival date. Those who missed this three-day event last November missed quite a treat of film, panels and access to the filmmakers.
Lyall Bush credits his conversations with IDA Executive Director Betsy McLane as invaluable aid to the Festival's planning. Another thing that he learned was that contacting filmmakers, looking for sponsors, and just plain all-around leg work takes a lot of time and energy. During the efforts for the 1998 festival, he will be enlisting the help of more volunteers. Those of us at the IDA who have worked long and hard on the IDA Awards know the importance of volunteers to help with this kind of organization. Funding and time constraints have pushed the date for the next festival to the Fall of 1998. If you are interested in submitting your film or volunteering to help with the next festival, please contact: Lyall Bush, Washington Commission for the Humanities, 615 Second Ave., Ste. 300, Seattle, WA 98104; phone: 206-682-1770 ; fax: 206-682-4158.

Rose quartz Raw is a type of quartz which exhibits a pale pink to rose red hue. The color is usually considered as due to trace amounts of titanium, iron, or manganese, in the massive material. Some rose quartz contains microscopic rutile needles which produces an asterism in transmitted light. Recent X-ray diffraction studies suggest that the color is due to thin microscopic fibers of possibly dumortierite within the massive quartz.

Yoga is a practice that has been around for more than 5,000 years. It combines stretching (asana), breathing (pranayam), and meditation techniques to help balance and strengthen the mind, body, and spirit.
As we age, our bodies become less flexible, less resilient. Yoga can be a powerful counter measure, helping us preserve our mobility and independence.
Yoga is NOT a competitive sport. There truly is a yoga for every body, a style that is right for you.
There are many schools of yoga and styles of classes, including Hatha (traditional, gentle), Power (a "sweat it out" approach of postures and breath work), and Restorative (slow and therapeutic in nature, soothing).
Every body has different needs, which can change daily. Yoga is about self-discovery. Challenging your comfort zones. Respecting where you are at. Being gentle, yet willing to go to your personal edge.
It's about being right here. Now.

My first full day at San Diego Comic-con this year was action packed, as to be expected. We woke up early in the hopes of lining up for the Westworld experience only to find out that the line had been already cut off. Too crazy!
I also went to the DC Icons: Blockbuster YA Authors Meet Iconic DC Superheroes panel with Marie Lu, Leigh Bardugo and Matt de la Peña. The three writers had a great hour talking about their upcoming DC books, with Bardugo's Wonder Woman: Warbringer novel coming out first on August 29.
Once a blacksmith's apprentice, Dante is wary of Adelina's presence on the team. Both hulking and menacing, Spider would like nothing more than to rid himself of the new recruit. Like the others, he is marked as a Young Elite by the dark irregular markings on his neck that go all the way down to his chest. He's known as the Spider for his abilities to see in darkness.
Read a new excerpt from The Young Elites!
For this contest, we are giving away a $25 gift card, a copy of the novel that the film is based on and more goodies! Many of us are lucky to have our health and it's never easy to see young people sick. But in their youth, there is hope and even the possibilities of love. The Fault in Our Stars is a guaranteed tear-jerker, directed by Josh Boone and starring Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort, and a Defective Geeks' favorite, Willem Dafoe.
Information on how to win below.


It seems that these days just meeting Father Christmas is not quite enough, there has to be some sort of experience attached too. Knowsley Safari Parks version is "Enchanted", an evening event after the traditional safari experience is closed. We went along last Saturday and it is actually rather good!
My children are 5 year old twins and still firmly believe, so anything vaguely Christmas related is already winning in their eyes. They are also rarely out and about after dark, so to set off to a safari park at 4pm, with the promise of a meeting Santa whilst we were there, was an adventure before it had begun!
You arrive for Enchanted at the main safari gates and check in in the same way. We were then efficiently directed to the car park, where parking was plentiful and free and once we had wrapped up warm (being a safari park it is obviously open to the elements) we were ready to explore.
We had booked a 5.45 slot with Santa and arrived about an hour before this, to give us time to explore the enchanted forest, which was probably just about right. The "forest" was delightful. It basically follows the path of the day time foot safari, but because it is dark and the animals are presumably sleeping somewhere else, it takes on a whole different feel. It is beautifully lit with projections of snow flakes, trees full of stars and stunning illuminated animal sculptures; "gentle" Christmas music is playing; and as you meander around, actors dressed as various birds and insects (think ballet costumes, sparkly facepaint and wings with fairy lights rather scary realistic insect heads!) are dancing around, happy to chat, show off their costumes and pose for photos. Then about half way around there is a pit stop where you can toast marshmallows on open fires (all very safely and well supervised), and, as it should be, but rarely is at these things, this is included in the price, with the staff very relaxed if someone drops theirs and needs another etc.
At about 5.30, we then headed to find Santa's grotto. It was just a stones throw from the forest walk, but does involve going through the fairground rides section. These are obviously not included in the price, but are actually quite reasonable at just £1 a ride (with adults able to ride for free if your child is under a certain height or needs company) or you can purchase an £8 per child wrist band which gives you unlimited rides. We hadn't come to go to the fair and looking at the amount of rides my children would like, I didn't think we would actually want £8's worth anyway, so I just bought 3 tickets each, which they were quite happy with and they had one merry go round ride and a look at what they would go on afterwards, before we went off to see Santa.
Santa's Grotto is outside the restaurant. We got there just before our allotted time and I was surprised to see there was quite a long queue. It was a good five minutes or so before we were inside the grotto entrance and then probably another 20 minutes before out actual turn, so perhaps they need to work on their time slots, but the children didn't seem to mind! The entrance itself was decorated beautifully, with an illuminated "flying sleigh", Christmas trees, snow, giant baubles etc and then a large decorated door, leading to the "promised land!!". Finally, it was our turn and it was well worth the wait!
An elf took us through and Santa was sitting in a gorgeous room with a roaring fire, it was real picture book stuff. His costume was excellent and his manner quite delightful! My children were slightly nervous as we went in, holding on to my hands, but as soon as they saw him they were mesmerised and instantly relaxed!
"Well haven't you grown since I last saw you" he said, which I thought was a great opening line! "Did you like the presents I brought you last year? I remember there were some lovely things". And so it went on! Luckily they were on the nice list and of course promised to stay on it from now until Christmas Eve. They were then given a present out of one of the sacks in the room – Oscar got a bug hunting explorers kit, and Martha a sand art set. The presents looked good quality without being too over the top and being "something to do", were I felt, universally appealing and in keeping with the outdoors nature of Knowsley. They were both delighted with the experience and instantly declared that he was most definitely the REAL ONE!
We finished our evening out with a couple of goes on the dodgems, which are always good fun and walked back through the enchanted forest, stopping off for a last marshmallow en route!
All in all, it was a lovely experience, the forest was a great pre-amble to the grotto, with Knowsley playing to their animal heritage with the theme of the illuminations; and their Santa was the quality gentleman he always should be!
Uncharacteristically, Oscar and Martha had decided to dress up for the occasion, with Oscar wearing a Santa Costume and Martha going as "Mary", so it makes for some unusual photos!!
Enchanted is on Friday-Sunday evenings, from now until December 23rd, from 4-7pm. It costs £14 per child and £5 per adult. We were invited by Knowsley Safari Park, but the review is my own!
Flight Attendants Have Been in the Clouds Since 1912!

Home ISP US WEST Targets Offline Consumers
US WEST Targets Offline Consumers
By internetnews.com Staff | November 22, 1999
US WEST is looking to tap into the remaining 60 percent of American homes that do not have access to the Internet.
The local telephone company wants to make "Web-tone," the data equivalent of dial tone, for the majority of the U.S. homes that do not currently have access to online services.
Over the next few months, consumers subscribing to US West Internet services may be able to use one message box to check all their e-mail, voice-mail and faxes, by phone or computer. Additional features permit subscribers to comparison shop for goods and services online, take phone calls from their TV or surf the Internet while watching television.
Sol Trujillo, U S WEST (USW) chairman, president and chief executive officer, said the new service give consumers the tools they need to make the Web a more useful part of their lives.
"This is the Internet made easy," Trujillo said. "People tell us they like the opportunity and power of going online. But they want it simpler, more convenient and to work seamlessly with other devices like their phone and TV."
The portal upgrade is part of US WEST's plans to rollout consumer-friendly services over the next six months.US WEST, currently awaiting regulatory approval for its merger with Qwest Communications International (QWST), also plans to expand their Digital Subscriber Line services, dial-up and wireless Internet access.
By widening their web appeal through alternative access formats, including Internet appliances and television sets, Joe Zell, US WEST !NTERPRISE president, said the company plans to provide consumers with the tools to comparison shop online, access consumer rating information, find local businesses online, and do real-time stock trading.
"This will make life easier for online consumers. Our goal is to help consumers cut through the clutter on the Web, and enjoy the benefits of simplified messaging, online comparison shopping, and soon, online entertainment," Zell said.
"We're also working to widen the Web to more people with Internet appliances that make getting online as easy as picking up the phone or watching TV," he added.
Customers subscribing to US West's "WebVision" program receive the service over set-top-box, connected trough a wireless keyboard and remote control that switches between Web surfing and TV. For dial-up users, Caller ID appears on your TV screen, and a set-top-box speakerphone lets customer's place and answer telephone calls through their TV.
U S WEST WebVision programming is currently in Minnesota and will be offered in other cities early next year.
U S WEST has formed an alliance with nationwide retailer CompUSA to offer potential customers a preview of the service and place orders from any CompUSA (CPU) store in the Denver area.
US WEST provides a full range of telecommunications services including wireline, wireless, data networking, directory and information services to more than 25 million customers nationally in 14 western and Midwestern states. The company currently provides Internet services to more than 350,000 customers in the United States.

"You put your video games in my comics!" "No, you put your comics in my video games!"
Graphic Lit: Levitation & Wire Mothers
For several years now, writer Jim Ottaviani has been mining a rather unique niche in the comics world, producing graphic novels about the history of science with a variety of different artists.
Now he's at it again, with a pair of books — "Levitation" and "Wire Mothers" — that explore what Ottaviani calls the "science of the unscientific."
What that refers to is the areas where science crops up in unexpected ways in popular culture (though I could be wrong).
Take "Levitation," for example. Set in the late 19th and early 20th century, when magic tricks seemed less like parlor games and more like impossible feats of wonder, the book explores the history surrounding the well-known trick of elevating a person into the air.
Ottaviani explores not only the science behind that elaborate bit of prestidigitation, he also details the personalities that helped perfect it, from English magician John Maskelyne to American Harry Kellar and his heir, Howard Thurston.
The rivalry between Kellar and Maskelyne is one of the best parts of the book, as Kellar desperately attempts to uncover the trick's secret until finally committing an act of brazen audacity. These magicians, Ottaviani suggests, might act like noble gentlemen on the stage, but they are brazen cutthroats behind the curtain.
Janine Johnston's art is appropriately lush, given the subject matter, and provides a fine snapshot of the time period.
"Levitation" is engaging but slight and only provides broad portraits of the egotistical magicians in question. Ultimately I wanted to learn more about them than I did the title trick.
On the other hand, I found "Wire Mothers" fascinating, both in its portrait of psychologist Harry Harlow and in its discussion of his famous experiment involving baby monkeys and the wrought-iron surrogate moms the book's title refers to.
I remember reading about Harlow's experiment — where he reared tiny primates on ugly wire and cloth contraptions — back in my intro to psychology course in college and being aghast. Why on earth would anyone attempt to undertake something so seemingly cruel and harrowing?
It turns out Harlow had good reason for his investigations. Believe it or not, there was a time, not too long ago, when psychologists, following the wake of B.F. Skinner, encouraged parents not to be too affectionate to their children, demanding that they refrain from hugging or kissing. Love, in their minds, was a fanciful, fairy-tale notion that could easily be relabeled as "proximity."
Harlow rightly viewed such theories as dangerous nonsense and used his monkeys to prove to the world that love indeed existed and was absolutely vital to a child's development.
Ottaviani and artist Dylan Meconis detail not only Harlow's experiments, but also provide a compelling (if brief) portrait of the man, who suffered from depression and alcoholism, and was thwarted at many turns by colleagues who refused to recognize his accomplishments.
Both "Levitation" and "Wire Mothers" suffer somewhat from the same awkward narrative structure ("Hey there invented character intended to stand in for the reader! Allow me to regale you with lots of exposition!"). Both, however, ultimately provide compelling, educational glimpses into areas of history that have mostly been ignored by the general public.
While ultimately I preferred the urgent humanism of "Mothers" to the cold theatrics of "Levitation," either book is worth seeking out, whether you have a yen for science or not.

Listen to "The Great Detectives Present Rocky Jordan" on Spreaker.
Rocky Jordan is a series many see as evocative of Casablanca as both featured American café owners facing adventure and intrigue in Middle Eastern cities. The film became a sensation in the 1940s and A Man Named Jordan was introduced over the West Coast CBS network towards the end of World War II. Jack Moyles, played Rocky, the no-nonsense owner of the Instanbul-based Café Tambourine. For the first six months, A Man Named Jordan was a daily serial in which Rocky matched wits with Axis powers in the waning days of the war and made a tidy profit along with the way. After the war A Man Name Jordan became a weekly half hour series that bounced around the schedule until 1947. According to John Dunning's Encyclopedia of Old Time Radio, the series gave Rocky a pretty good supporting cast of characters including a girlfriend, a best friend, and a "man Friday." Unfortunately, only two unconnected serialized episodes and no half hour episodes of A Man Named Jordan are in circulation.
Thus when Rocky Jordan premiered over the West Coast CBS network on October 31, 1948 it was a revival of a series that was quite popular at the time but which has been lost to the ages. In this series, Rocky has relocated from Istanbul to Cairo and outside of his restaurant staff, he's alone. Although when trouble calls coming, a visit from Captain Sam Sabaaya of the Cairo Police would be in order. The writers of the series used the Army's Pocket Guide to Egypt as a guide to writing the series which gives the show a flavor of authenticity, even if the knowledge is occasionally a bit shallow. The series often reused scripts and ideas from other programs and made mainly cosmetic changes to move a story that's set in Los Angeles to Cairo.
Still, at it's best Rocky Jordan manages to make good use of its setting and atmosphere, with solid performances from Moyles, and well-written mysteries. The series ended in 1950, but saw in revival in 1951 when famed Hollywood tough guy actor George Raft (who turned down the leading role in Casablanca) taking over the role of Rocky Jordan in a Summer replacement series that was broadcast over the entire CBS network. The series was considered for another revival when CBS decided to produced a serialized detective show in the mid-1950s. Jack Moyles recorded an audition for the series, but unlike the Mister Keen, Tracer of Lost Person and Mr. and Mrs. North serialized programs, the new serialized Rocky Jordan never aired. CBS would find success in the serialized format with Yours Truly Johnny Dollar instead.
Star Bios:
Jack Moyles (1913-73): Moyles began his radio career in San Francisco over station KGO before moving to Hollywood in 1944. Moyles is best remember for playing Rocky Jordan in two separate series over CBS, but he also starred the American Forces Radio series Douglas of the World while also having regular roles as Sergeant Pete Karger on The Line Up and Major Daggett on Fort Laramie. In addition, Moyles was a talented character actor who appeared frequently on programs such as Suspense, The Whistler, Gunsmoke, and Yours Truly Johnny Dollar.
George Raft (1901-80): George Raft's career began on Broadway and led to Hollywood where he became known for his roles as gangsters in films like the 1932 classic Scarface. Raft also turned down a variety of roles in films that were iconic roles for other actors including High Sierra and the Maltese Falcon which Humphrey Bogart took and Double Indemnity which would star Fred MacMurray. In the 1940s, Raft started in the radio series, The Cases of Mr. Ace. In the 1950s, Raft starred as Lieutenant George Kirby in the Detective series, I'm the Law. His popularity waned in the 1950s but he made a comeback in Some Like It Hot in 1959.

BARAGA — The Village Council moved closer to a decision on whether it will donate to the Baraga Shrine.
Village Manager LeAnn LeClaire, said the village could use WPPI funds for the donation.
Council members discussed whether it would be a one-time donation or ongoing.
Trustee Sandra Johnson proposed a donation of $500 or $1,000, but council members thought that was too high of an amount to use from the village's energy funds. They unanimously agreed $500 was fair.
LeClaire was not able to speak with somebody from the shrine, as discussed at the last meeting. Her reasoning was that she was not sure who to contact, so the board offered some suggestions.
Because LeClaire did not talk to someone from the shrine, Village Council President Wendell Dompier thought the council needed more information about the shrine's finances before making a donation.
"Why don't you find out what kind of bills they run monthly?" said Dompier.
The motion to approve the donation was tabled for the next meeting.
The council also passed a resolution of support for the partnership for the non-motorized trail project with KBIC, as previously reported.
Lastly, the council voted to increase its contribution to Portage Health Foundation from $2,000 to $3,000. They have been contributing to the foundation for years.
"It is for more help to keep the operation going," said LeClaire.
With the increase of this contribution, the council will be lowering the amount of a different contribution.
