Potty training your toddler is an exciting time! On one hand, you've reached the point in parenthood when you're ready to bid farewell to diaper duty. On the other hand, the realization that your baby isn't really a "baby" anymore is enough to break any parent's heart. Blind parents need to be organized and systematic when undertaking the task of toddler potty training. Consistency and patience are necessary to help your child progress through this developmental milestone. With careful planning and some child-friendly incentives, potty training is survivable for both parent and toddler. Having just recently completed training my own three-year-old daughter as a blind parent, here are my Tips for Toddler Potty Training.
1. Designate a Plastic Potty Area: Purchasing a plastic toddler potty allows you the flexibility to teach your child bathroom basics anywhere in the home. Once you have a designated area, place the potty on a small, washable throw rug or rubber play mat. This provides a tactile cue for blind parents, signifying where your potty is located. It also allows you to place your potty on a slip-free surface so your little one can sit safely and firmly without sliding across the floor. If the occasional accident does occur (and it will), the rugs can be washed, and the play mats can be easily wiped down with disinfecting wipes.
2. Make a Potty Basket: Toddlers are not known for their patience. How then are parents supposed to encourage them to sit patiently while they learn to do their business? The answer is simple, make a potty basket. Purchase a small sectional basket or bin. Then, head to your local discount store to fill it with small, interactive items for your child to enjoy like coloring books, crayons, sheets of stickers, or sewing cards. You may also want to buy a few new books to encourage reading while on the potty. Visually impaired parents should organize basket in such a way that they know where every item is located. Using a Pen Friend or braille, label each compartment accordingly so you can easily locate the items it contains. Present your child with their potty basket on the day you begin training and keep it in close proximity to your training area for easy use.
3. Let Beloved Characters Back Up Your Message with DVD's & Audible Apps: Parents need backup promoting the message that learning to potty train is a positive part of growing up that everyone experiences. Look to your child's favorite characters for emotional support during this journey with your child. Characters like Elmo and Daniel Tiger have books and videos relating to potty training. Blind or visually impaired parents can easily purchase books or download videos to their mobile devices. In addition, several potty training apps are available for both Apple and Android devices. Apps like Potty Training with Elmo ($3) provide stories and songs that visually impaired parents can use to reinforce potty training techniques. Once Upon A Potty ($2), based on Alana Frankel's famous children's book, also provides song and audible stories that blind parents can share with their child. Utilizing the accessibility features on your devices will provide easy access. Sharing stories and television shows with your child that reiterate the positivity of potty training will help your child become more comfortable with the process.
4. Make a Potty Chart: Monitor your child's progress by making a potty chart that incorporates stickers to keep track of their bathroom achievements. Blind parents may want to purchase braille-based stickers such as braille dots. These stickers provide brightly colored designs all children will enjoy with tactile braille messages for blind parents. Allow your children to come up with a design for their chart, either including one of the favorite characters or an interesting theme. My daughter chose Finding Dory for her potty chart! Every time she was able to use the potty, she received a braille dot sticker! Once she achieved five stickers, she got a prize.
5. Baby Wipes Are the Best Cleaning Option: Blind parents should stick to traditional baby wipes when cleaning their child after they have used the potty. Just as with diaper changing, wiping your child in a grid formation both up, down, and across will help ensure your child remains clean. The additional moisture provided in wipes, as opposed to the dryness of toilet paper, will also help visually impaired parents clean up any sticky messes during training.
6. Reward: Your child should be rewarded for their potty training efforts. Reward methods vary can vary from food related treats, like Lollipops or M&M's, to small toys or dolls. While some parents make look down on this method as a form of bribery, many experts agree that a reward system is beneficial in potty training. Learning to use the bathroom is difficult and frustrating for your toddler. Teaching them that they will be rewarded for working hard is not necessarily a bad thing. It will also serve as additional motivation, encouraging them to use the potty. It is important for blind parents to consider safety when choosing their reward method. Toys with small parts or smaller candy food options may potentially cause a choking hazard for your child. Use your own judgement based on your previous experience with the individual needs and development of your child, selecting a reward that is both safe and economical for your family.
7. Choosing the Right Language: Blind parents may be unable to see the usual physical cues associated with their toddler's bathroom needs, like shifting from side to side, crossing the legs, or holding their genital area. Instead of constantly asking your child if they "have to go to the bathroom," blind parents should periodically remind their toddlers to "listen to their bodies" approximately every 20 to 40 minutes. By utilizing positive verbal cues like "listen to your body," you are teaching your child to hone in on their own physical cues, giving them insight into knowing when they might need to use the bathroom. This prevents blind parents from relying solely on their child's visual cues for training.
8. Don't Rush the Process: Blind parents need to understand potty training is a marathon, not a sprint. There will be days when your child will not have any accidents. Then just when you think your kid has mastered the potty, they could regress in epic proportions! Be patient. Be kind. Give them the opportunity to learn as quickly or slowly as they need to. Have pull-ups and underwear on hand, but always make sure you carry a spare set of clothing in those beginning weeks of potty training. Remember, the only thing predictable about toddlers is their unpredictability. If you begin to feel overwhelmed in the potty training process or believe your child is showing signs he or she may not be ready, take a break.
9. Ignore the Potty Peer Pressure: Everyone has an opinion for the parent who's about to undertake potty training. Grandparents, co-workers, and other moms at the playground will undoubtedly offer you their opinion and pass judgment on when and how you potty train your child. The best course of action is to politely tune these people out. Don't succumb to the potty peer pressure. You know your child better than anyone else in the world. Train when you both are ready and take as long as you both need.

What you need to know about Zika Virus When Traveling
How is Zika Virus spread? It is spread by the two types of Aedes mosquito, which is known to exist in southern and eastern parts of the United States. (see map) The Aedes mosquito has not been detected in Wisconsin. It can also be spread from person to person thru sexual contact.
Estimated range of Aedes aegypti (left) and Aedes Albopictus (right)mosquito (Source: CDC)
The Aedes aegypti is the primary species that transmits the virus, the Albopictus species is less likely to spread the virus, but could. Here is a link for foreign countries and US Territories that have known Zika transmission:
http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/page/zika-travel-information
How many people in the above states will get Zika virus? It is hard to predict how many people could become infected in the above areas; efforts are underway to reduce those risks, and educate people on how to protect themselves.
What are the risks if someone has Zika virus? The biggest risks are for women who are pregnant, or could become pregnant. Zika virus has been linked to microcephaly, a serious birth defect that affects an infant's brain function. Zika virus can be transmitted from a mother to a baby during pregnancy. Women could become infected from a mosquito bite or thru sexual contact with an infected partner.
What are the symptoms of Zika virus? The virus typically causes relatively mild symptoms - fever, headache, skin rash, red eyes, and muscle aches. Symptoms usually clear up within a few days. In fact, many people who are infected have no symptoms, but could still spread the illness to a partner through sexual contact. There is no vaccine or specific drug to treat this virus.
What can people do to protect themselves from Zika virus?
Cover up. Wearing long sleeves and pants makes it more difficult for insects to bite. Pants can also be tucked into socks for added protection.
Stay indoors at times when mosquito activity is high. The Aedes mosquito tends to be active during the daytime.
Apply bug spray. DEET effectively repels both mosquitoes and ticks. Permethrin works, too, but may only be applied to clothes. Picaridin is another bug repellent, but only protects against mosquitoes.
Always follow the product label instructions.
Reapply insect repellent as directed.
Do not spray repellent on the skin under clothing.
If you are also using sunscreen, apply sunscreen before applying insect repellent.

GradeSaver, 10 June 2012 Web. On the surface, the three stanzas progress to a cynical assertion of the nature of womankind. Thus each stanza has an introduction, a raising action, a climax, a falling action and a conclusion. If thou find'st one, let me know, Such a pilgrimage were sweet, Yet do not, I would not go, Though at next door we might meet, Though she were true when you met her, And last, til you write your letter, Yet she Will be False, ere I come, to two, or three. What he says here is that, even if you were the sort of person who could accomplish all the feats of the first stanza, and you conducted this extensive search, you still wouldn't be able to encounter a female who's faithful.
Says if you are used to seeing odd, impossible things, then go find him a woman. As we all know mermaids sea fairies and they were used as mythical figures in ancient stories. Its tone is mostly depressing Theme- Its impossible to find true love. Falling stars are a cause of great destruction and hence the poet compares a falling star to the nature of women. In his song, Donne comes full circle.
The title of the poem itself is rather intriguing. The poet wishes he could go and see such a woman if she existed, but he knows that she would turn false by the time he got there. If thou be'st born to strange sights, Things invisible to see, Ride ten thousand days and nights, Till age snow white hairs on thee, Thou, when thou return'st, wilt tell me, All strange wonders that befell thee, And swear, No where Lives a woman true, and fair. He shows that the nature of a woman is similar to a star; both are destructive and will cause damage. In 2016, Boog City published a play:AnTi-GeNtRiFiCaTiOn WaR dRuM rAdIo. This poems gives the readers a huge insight into the lives of Donne. It denotes that he had never been in love before and was caught off-guard.
Do you agree or disagree with this message? Old drawings often depicted the root as male or female, depending on the number of branches it bore. Yet the way Donne builds to this conclusion is beguiling. They travel, and return to tell tales and make choices that turn out well or poorly. If thou be'st born to strange sights, Things invisible to see, Ride ten thousand days and nights, Till age snow white hairs on thee, Thou, when thou return'st, wilt tell me, All strange wonders that befell thee, And swear, No where Lives a woman true and fair. His love poetry moves from physical attraction to spiritual unity most of the time.
Yossarian has a slightly sick sense of humor and way of looking at things. The impossible tasks also include conceiving a child with a mandrake plant, gaining full knowledge of the past, solving the mystery of thé Devil's cloven hoof why is the Satan's hoof split? Yes, on the surface the poem could read as a way for a young, scorned lover to cope with a woman who was false to him. He cleverly states that to find a woman who is honest in love is as difficult as it is to catch 'a falling star'. Here, a personified Death cannot boast in its power, for death merely transitions the soul from a physical state to a spiritual one. To Donne, religion was not a separate part of life, but the wellspring from which one's every day drew sustenance. The expression is inflated even further here, though, by Donne's use of a conditional statement, a statement that describes a possibility and typically begins with 'if,' to open the second stanza.
Here's one of my first attempts to speak to high school students in writing. It's the epigraph to Stardust. This is yet another one of his techniques used to build up the suspense and deliver his message to his readers successfully. The love sonnet is arguably a misogynistic form, constantly objectifying the beloved. Is the poem, then, simply a defense of his inconstancy? I think he is having a laugh and I like it. This probably had a deep impact on him and caused him to write the poem. We get a way more complex vision of humanity than Donne presents in his poem, and we think that's just what Gaiman intended.
Stardust What's Up With the Epigraph?
Always interested in the intersections between poetry and music, he organized a tribute to Anne Sexton's rock band for The Poetry Society of America, and joined Greg Ashley to perform the entire Death Of A Ladies' Man album for Sylvie Simmons' Leonard Cohen biography in 2012. This is a literary device known as adynaton. A mandrake root was a mythical root in medieval lore, said to grow under hanged men, and also to be useful somehow with witchcraft. Nevertheless, even though he was able to accomplish all the feats of the first stanza, and despite his extensive searching and encounters with 'strange wonders,' the narrator claims he will still be unable to find a woman true to her word. He adds sarcastically to the list of impossible tasks, the task of finding the wind that brings prosperity to the honest minded people; he means that only dishonest people do well, and that to have an honest mind is to fail. Belittling cosmic forces Donne's poetry sometimes seems to relish in belittling great or cosmic forces.
If thou be'st born to strange sights, Things invisible to see, Ride ten thousand days and nights, Till age snow white hairs on thee, Thou, when thou return'st, wilt tell me, All strange wonders that befell thee, And swear, No where Lives a woman true, and fair. Or we can write it all off because it offends us and all we learn is what offends us - in other words, what we already know. If the traveller finds one, he is to report him immediately. He parodies the theme of eternal love found in traditional romance poetry with the use of an enormous number to illustrate the lengths to which a true lover's dedication extends. This is, of course, because she would've already said the same things to two or three other men before her first could ever get back. Near the end of the stanza the poet suddenly asks serious questions: what can cure the sting of envy, and how can an honest mind advance? However, this comic scenes and phrases are quite tragic when they are thought about, as most things related to war are, which makes this comedy completely absurd.
The poem is characterized by a fixation on lovers' complications common both to elegy and to metaphysical poetry - 17th-century verse marked by its use of complex imagery primarily to explore concepts of religion or love. Some more poetic devices include alliteration, echo, and diction. Death and the Hereafter Death is a common image in Donne's poetry. This poem can be viewed as a reaction to the extreme purity in Courtly Love poetry. Aside from overtones of love and faithlessness, Donne incorporates another elegiac staple into his 'Song': the use of extreme exaggeration to refer to something as an impossibility, also known as adynaton, which is Greek for 'not possible. Are there any other reasonable ways to interpret this poem? Paradox is important to Donne because in it he sees the resolution of the problem of man: we live in a world wholly given over to evil, so much so that goodness and holiness are considered deviant from the norm.
Some of these are: 'I ne'er was struck. He might have suffered setbacks in his relationships, where women would have betrayed him with other men. Is he going to simply ignore women for the rest of his life? The early lines prepare us for a cynical perspective that calls to mind the attitude of the jaded courtier singing to a collection of adults who are well-schooled in the vagaries of love. If thou be'st born to strange sights, Things invisible to see, Ride ten thousand days and nights, Till age snow white hairs on thee, Thou, when thou return'st, wilt tell me, All strange wonders that befell thee, And swear, No where Lives a woman true and fair. Furthermore he challenges the reader to teach him to hear mermaids singing which is again impossible. The poem also has an overwhelming use of extreme exaggeration, such as 'learning to hear mermaids' and 'journey of 10,000 days' to refer to something as an impossibility. Finding answers about the devil's body is as magically unreal as finding lost time, catching a falling star, getting a mandrake root pregnant, and finding an honest woman.


I'm sure I've mentioned how much of a difference it makes having someone by your side to help go through all the tough stuff in life. But, I feel it bears repeating. Virginia has been a wonder and has taken on so many different roles over the past couple of months that to list them all would be a feat in and of itself. And, all of this she has accepted without complaint… including all of the stuff she has to do just to keep me maintained. She cleans and flushes my two ports every day. She's been trained to change my dressing once a week. And, now, she's just learned how to give me an injection (I know full well, I'd not be able to do it to myself). We hope this is just a temporary assignment, but since my white blood cell count is still sluggish in its increase, my oncologist ordered some injections of G-CSF to help stimulate the bone marrow into producing more white blood cells. So, lucky Virginia gets to add another skill to her repertoire.
I received a couple of Bio-Domes from a colleague whose son (I think) designs and sells them. They are the perfect chemo cap for the summer (or spring and fall, too). Thank you!
You're looking rather dapper in your hat! It looks good on you!
You and V make a very strong pair. You're lucky to have each other.
And something tells me that (although it is probably nice for her to hear), you knew that V was somethin' special even before all of this crazy business. I've only known her for a short time and I even knew that. Lucky you, to have each other.
In sickness and in health, right? This is what true love is all about. Dan, you've got yourself an amazing wife. Three cheers to Virginia for shouldering the load. It is hard, for sure, but I'm certain she would say she wouldn't have it any other way.
She's a good woman, but I knew that.
To tell the truth, you are kind of a hottie in that hat and no hair. Who knew??
I think about you guys a lot. If that helps.

They are the fruit not only of personal experience and long familiarity with the hesychast writings of Orthodox monasticism, but also of the spiritual tradition of his native Romania. Through the texts we are given the outline of the icon of humanity restored to God in Christ.


teamTBB - 1st & 2nd at Ironman UK!
The boys of teamTBB dominated the day putting their will on the race and taking 1st and 2nd overall. Dan and Stephen worked together on the swim and bike to build up a big advantage then ran together for the first half of the marathon before Dan took the lead and went on to win. On the women's side, Bella showed why she is toughest Ironlady in the world battling through a tough day to finish just outside the podium.
In the men's race, Dan defended his title and has two Ironman UK titles now to his name. Stephen showed he is back with his great 2nd place finish.
I am really happy to retain my title, I've been working really hard at home and the work paid off. I now have to get over to mont tremblant and get enough points for kona. Was awesome racing alongside Stephen and running side by side.
I was happy to finish IM UK on a day that I struggled all day. Of course it was not what I wanted but I am proud to have got to the finish line when I could have stopped many times before. It was great to see Stephen and Dan being so strong out there. ThankYou to all the amazing support out on the course. Now it's time to celebrate Charlie's 2nd birthday!
At teamTBB, we are so proud of the boys working together to get 1,2 in Ironman UK and always a pleasure to see Bella battling hard through adversity!
Congrats to teamTBB on an amazing Ironman UK! 3rd year in a row the men's title is with teamTBB!

Q: Unsigned/Signed Integer Addition with Casting In C++, is it guaranteed that if I used the signed & unsigned versions of a fixed-width integer to perform an operation, I will get the same result?
That is, if I do:
uint64_t a = [any number];
uint64_t b = [any number];
uint64_t resultOne = a + b;
uint64_t resultTwo = (uint64_t)(((int64_t) a) + ((int64_t) b));

Is it guaranteed that resultOne and resultTwo would always produce the same output no matter what values I use for a and b?

A: With unsigned types, addition is guaranteed to wrap around: if you add 1 to the maximum uint64_t, you get 0.
With signed types, in both C and C++, wraparound is undefined behavior: anything could happen, and in practice the compiler can do things you don't expect if you have optimization turned on.
So no, this is not guaranteed by the standard.
However, many compilers give an option to, as an extension to the standard, guarantee wrapped behavior for signed types, in which case the answer is yes. For example, see -fwrapv of GCC and Clang.

Infirmary Invasion! (Kelani is Searched)
Half Moon Bay Weyr - Infirmary
This long, rectangular cavern smells faintly of antiseptic and strongly of pleasant medicinal herbs. The general atmosphere is one of bustling but orderly quiet and strict cleanliness. The back of the room is dominated by a small hearth for heat and medicinal preparations and by swinging double doors that lead to a small DragonHealing bay, an emergency surgery for human patients, the main storage, and the staff area where Healers can eat, shower, change, and the like during their longer shifts. The front of the room is a waiting and reception area where patients and staff can check in to receive treatment and begin work, respectively. The east wall of the room features examination, birthing, recovery and outpatient treatment rooms while the opposite wall is curtained off to provide privacy and bed-space for patients requiring overnight care.
Half Moon Bay can certainly handle most of the routine and sometimes urgent treatment needs of its residents here. It lacks some of the equipment available at the main Healer Hall. Once they are stabilized, patients requiring specialized or ongoing care are surely transferred there.
Winter in the North - Month 2 of Turn 2716
A wet morning at the weyr, such is the way of winter. It may not be the cold season here but it is certainly the wet season. Those that can are keeping to the indoors. Others have work indoors whether they wish it or no. Kelani is standing at one of the counters looking over the case files from the night before doing morning 'rounds' on the few patients in residence. She looks quite in her element here, in her neat healer's tunic and looking all rather serious.
"I told you, I know where I'm going and I don't need an escort." That would be Sephany, sounding just about at the end of her rope in the patience department. Hands loose at her side, but fists balled up and tense, she walks in from the soggy bowl and into the blessedly dry infirmary. "And I told you, that I don't care, I've got my orders." And that would be the greenrider, following Sephany and looking EQUALLY at the end of her rope in the patience department. She's a short thing; no more than five feet really, with shoulder-length brown hair, brown eyes, and lightly tanned skin. Altogether rather monochromatic with the brown leathers to boot. "She didn't mean you literally had to stick with me. She meant 'don't leave her behind'." Grump. Growl. But clearly, they are not going to be in agreement. And since she can't shake her tail, Seph might as well ignore her. As soon as they are in the door, grey eyes are scanning the room for familiar faces and, without much surprise, land on Kelani. "Hello Kelani," spoken with a much friendlier voice as the weaver closes the distance, greenrider in tow. "You look… very professional," she offers with a bright smile that almost wants to be mischievous.
The argument near the entrance at least gets Kelani's attention and she closes the folder she was looking through quite intent to put an end to the rukkus. Well that is until she sees the source of the rukkus, "Sephany.." She calls out in surprise, "What brings you here?" She asks as she crosses the distance between them. The comment on her appearance gets a little shrug and somewhat self concious smoothing of the tunic. "Well I suppose I am doing something right then." She replies with a half smile and glances over to the rider and nods her head politely to her before looking back to Sephany, "So who is your guard?" She asks in a lower voice.
"You just looked very… studious," decides Sephany with a smile. "Very intent upon your work. It's a good look," she assures her. As for why she's here? "For you! Well… I mean, I did come to see Sev and check out his new place. And then I was hoping to catch Tanit now that she's back, but I suppose she's out with the dolphins or something…" in the rain? Maybe. "But I also came to see you, too." A few steps, and Seph plants her arms on that table to allow her body to lean into it. "I haven't seen you since… well…" Since she was pregnant and terrified. Ahem. "And I meant too, really. I wanted to thank you for… keeping my secret." MOOT POINT NOW, but ah well. As for her companion? Both Seph and Dragonrider roll their eyes at the 'guard' comment, but it's Sephany who deigns to answer. "She's not my guard; more like my escort? I mean, she brought me here. But she's only sticking to me like glue because she takes her job a bit too seriously," like someone else we know, (coughKelanicough). "And because she wouldn't stop calling Risali 'ma'am' and got herself assigned to shuttle-service." Sounds legit, right? But anyways. "Kelani, Nylca. Nylca, this is Kelani." There's a tip of the greenrider's head; brown hair dripping only a little with the motion, and a quick, "Ma'am" that more or less proves Seph's point. "But how are you?"
"Well it is work I enjoy. There has been a hint I will be walking the tables soon. I can hardly wait." Kelani says with bright eyes at the woman as if is her life goal. Well …it is. To be an independent healer! "Yes yes, she is back. I suppose they might be out in the rain..water is water right?" She says though with a wrinkle of her nose. "As long as there is no lightening." She smiles at the thanks, "It is part of the code of a healer..I was your healer and as such I could never have told." She offers professionally, "How are you doing now?" She asks in a more personal tone that suggests there was perhaps at least an undertone of friendship to all that happened. "Sev has been doing alright I think…you know him. He has been training me up, but has been a bit moody lately but he won't talk about it. Maybe a visit from his sister will be just what he needs?" She suggests before canting her head to the greenrider, "Thank you for your diligence."
"I wish I was that close," to walking the tables. The confession comes in a wistful tone, though there's resignation as well. "Taking the break for Jaspyr set me back. And now at Xanadu…" but Sephany shrugs her shoulders and lets her own woes be dropped. "And regardless of whether or not it is part of the code, I still appreciate it. I know he's your friend, and it wasn't fair of me to ask… he knows now by the way. Doesn't know you helped me, but he knows about Jaspyr." A bit of a longer inhale, and then a tighter smile. "I am doing alright. I'm down at Xanadu for a little bit, and it's so weird to live somewhere so… open." As for her brother? A slide of grey eyes to the side as she admits, "We haven't spoken as much as we used to… but it's fine. I think things are on the mend." But it also means she has no idea why he'd be upset, and the notion that he's tense has her chewing on her lower lip. It's the comment on diligence that gets her back, and she groans in good-natured protest. "Oh, don't, really… diligence… she needs to lighten up," and there's a glance for the greenrider who, after flashing Kelani a somewhat pleased smile for the compliment, has turned to look out the door of the infirmary and into the bowl with some intensity; arms folded behind her back. As if she expects danger or intruders or anything besides just patients and healers and rain. "See?" says Sephany, dropping her voice in a feigned whisper, "I told you she takes her job too seriously." But despite the protest, it's clear enough that the pair, weaver and rider, have some sort of acquaintanceship that allows for friendly teasing.
"So Jaspyr it is?" Kelani asks of the name of the babe, "And he is doing well?" She continues, having lost touch in the turn with her own focus on things. There is a dismissive shake of her head at the apology, "I am glad I could be there for you and in part because he is my friend. I know he couldn't be there for you then…so in a way I did it for him as well." Kelani responds with a little shrug of shoulders. "Yeah, I was a little delayed myself, but back on track now." She says with a bob of her head and grins at the teasing Seph gives to the rider, "I have a couple shadows here myself at times, your brother one of them. They mean well but at times…yeah it can be a bit much..even if I appreciate it. Though I won't tell them that." She says in a low conspiratorial voice. "There was this woman who was a bit weird and R'sner made sure I was safe..picked me right up and put me behind him. It just means they care I reckon."
A nod of her head, and Sephany agrees with, "Yes. Jaspyr," but gives no explanation as to the origins. "And he's adorable. Has my hair and—" a brief stutter before she continues with, "his father's eyes. My mother is fostering him in Igen." Again. No explanation as to why, though it doesn't seem a difficult decision for the weaver. "Delayed? What happened?? Did you get hurt?" and despite the fact that clearly, whatever happened has passed, there is concern evident in tone and expression as Sephany stands just a bit straighter in an attempt to look over Kelani from behind the table. But no; clearly all is well at this time. "Oh Faranth… has he been doing that thing that makes you feel like you're five turns old again? All hovering and overprotective?" Ugh. SHE KNOWS THE PAIN. "Nylca's not like that," she offers, and there's a twist of the greenrider's head at the mention of her name; a glance of brown eyes between Kelani and Sephany before she goes back to staring out at the bowl with an expression that gets more and more distracted as time goes on. "Excuse me…" and suddenly Nylca is making for the door at a quick pace as a shadow passes over it. It leaves Seph and Kelani at the table to chat, though there's a curious look spared her companion before the weaver is back to the topic at hand. "Wait… who's R'sner? And he picked you up?" Incredilous, and then mischievously… "Did you like it?" But before she can really get going, the commission at the entrance draws her attention again. Suddenly there is a hulking form in the doorway, a great green, tabby-striped dragon who's trying to shove her way into the infirmary. "No you cannot come in! It's just rain, you won't melt," is the answer from her rider, hands lifted to push at the snout of her dragon as she tries ineffectively to shove the creature back out. "And… that would be Laeth. And yeah, that's normal," and very quickly dismissed by Sephany. "But anyways. You shouldn't let my brother treat you like a child…"
"I am sure he is a very handsome fellow." Kelani assures her with a warm smile but does not press too much on the matter seeing that Sephany seems uncomfortable. At the concern she displays for the healer she gives a little shake of her head, "Oh nothing too bad. I was searched…then got a bad sprain right before the hatching so had to withdraw. I think I have caught up from my time and well..it was a learning experience in itself." Well don't ask her friends how they feel about HOW she caught up. At the question of her brother there is a little shake of her head, "Not quite so bad now that I am 18. He is even teaching me how to fight…ok how to defend myself. You know I didn't have any siblings growing up, I guess I get to experience what having a big brother is like." Putting a good spin on overprotective friends. The question of R'sner gets a little shrug and she looks down at her paperwork, "Well he is old enough to be my Da..we are just friends is all.." She wrinkles her nose a little before glancing up, "Maybe a little..like…" Maybe a touch of colour darkens her skin as she shakes her head, "But we aren't like that…" Then there is the the green shadow at the infirmary entrance and any further discussion on THAT can of worms is halted. There is a bit of a smile at the discussion with the dragon, "Do all greens dislike water?"
A fond smile flits across Sephany's expression at the thought of her son. But the subject of him is pushed aside when the nature of Kelani's brief craft-setback. "Oh! Oh…" because Search is exciting, but twisted ankles are not. That gets a sympathetic look from the weaver, who offers, "I've never been Searched… But I'm glad it was only something minor, and you've recovered. How terrible…" for the setback? For the injury? For having to drop out of candidacy? Unclear. But there's sympathy all the same. "Is he really teaching you… to fight?" And something about this knowledge has a frown tugging at the corners of her mouth; a bit of an unreadable expression passing over her face. For a moment, she's quiet and pensive, though does her best to hide it. "He is pretty nice to have as a big brother…," admitted after a pause, the pensive look fading into one of affection; smile once more curling at the corner of her mouth. It turns into a bit of a wrinkle-nosed grimace for the discovering that R'sner is not, in fact, what she had assumed, and there's a quick, "Ah, I see…" that turns into lifted brows for the second part. Mischief alights in those grey eyes as color blooms briefly across Kelani's cheeks, and Sephany can't help but to giggle and tease, mouth opened and breath taken for JUST such things before… well. A giant green dragon trying to cram herself in the infirmary is rather distracting. A twist of her torso, and she exhales out an exasperated sigh. "I don't know about all greens, but Laeth is weird. She'll beg you for food if you don't watch out…" and then Nylca is shooting the pair a desperate look, along with an equally desperate plea to, "Help me?? She won't budge. This is embarrassing!" shove-shove. Seph spares a glance for Kelani, looking about ready to dissolve einto laughter. "Do you want to help, or…" see what happens? But even as she says it, she's moving towards the door and that big ol' head, putting her hands on green hide and shoving at her. Cause that'll work. Not.
"Yeah…it was all a bit complicated. How I felt about it, how I feel now. Like..a task left undone?" Kelani says with a little shrug perhaps still uncertain about the experience and her feelings on it. Clearly she is goal orientated so perhaps that more than anything is what bugs her. She can't help but smile at the reaction to the fighting, "I think its something his weyrmate taught him…but I think it would be weird to learn from him. At least I know S'van won't hurt me…not really. Some bruises are to be expected but I know I can trust him and it makes me feel safe while we are training." She says with an awkward little shrug. Then there is the greem road block and well we just can't have that. Kelani makes her way over to where the rider is standing and looks up to the green, "I know its wet out there but patients can't get in if you sit there." She says with hands on her hips as if telling on an errent patient. "You really must move…I believe there are some guest weyrs around if you really must stay out of the wet."
It is good that there is a giant green dragon distracting Sephany; all this talk of fighting, and self-defense, and weyrmate (her brother's weyrmate, at least) may have resulted in a further round of twenty-questions as the weaver sought to know each and every detail of information she clearly was not privy to. But she does offer a cheerful, "I'm glad you trust him," and a slightly less cheerful and almost bitter, "Bet he'd never train me," that tries to be playful but sorta falls short. Anyways. Dragon. Invading the infirmary. Nylca and Sephany with their hands pressed into that snout, and having about as much success as they would trying to move the stone walls instead. And then Kelani, who's decided to adopt her Healer-Voice and attempt reason with the dragon instead. Or firmly tell her to get the <bleep> out of there. One whirling eye fixes on the hip-handed junior journeyman, whirling green and blue, and a whuffle that sounds so pitiful it could break a heart. Seph groans. Nylca growls, and Laeth just… stays put. "She says it's not about the rain it's about… Oh." And there's a sudden cessation of pushing on the part of the dragonrider, and a very distinct look leveled at her lifemate. A look that is clearly disapproving. "Next time, just say so. Now get out." And this time when the dragonrider lays her hand on that face, Laeth obeys and withdraws, leaving Sephany to stumble forward and skip a few steps to catch her balance. "What the fu… Faranth was that all about?" demands the blond, who looks just a little bit stressed at having nearly face-planted into the floor. But Nylca looks worse; thoroughly embarrassed as she turns to Kelani, dragon-pushing hand suddenly shoved into her pocket "She… wants you to come to Xanadu. To Stand as Candidate. That's why she wanted in. She thinks… well. Do you want to go?" and she offers over a white knot while Sephany just stares.
"Maybe now he might?" Kelani says with a sympathetic look to Sephany. "I don't think he would have even entertained the thought a turn ago." Then there is this dragon to deal with. Blocking her Infimary. A sigh when her words were not headed and then a wide eyed look at the question from Nylca. A glance at the the now departing dragon then back again and then to Sephany. "Why must they always invade the infirmary to ask?" She finally responds and the hands go back to her hips as she looks back into the infirmary for a moment. Already there are a few knowing looks and giggles from some apprentices, "No no, none of that from you lot this time." She looks down at the ground at her feet for a moment as she ponders the question before taking a breath and giving a nod. "Yes…I have to see it through. Impress or no, I need to know." She finally answers as she looks up to the rider and Sephany. "Do you mind if I finish out my shift? I…have to settle some things here and I have a friend who can bring me."
"Probably because you are in the infirmary?" supplies Sephany, mischief glinting in those grey eyes as the shock and surprise (and near-death experience) fades. There's a look on her face, something she conceals with pleasant smiles and anticipatory glances between Kelani and Nylca, but lurking under the surface. But when Kelani decides to go for it, there's nothing but joy. "Good," and Nylca thrusts the knot at Kelani more firmly. "Thank Faranth, because I don't think she'd leave if you said no. Really. You don't know Laeth…" and there's relief evident in that face of hers, tension melting away now that that has been settled. As for waiting? "I don't see why not? We weren't going to leave just yet," and there's a glance to Sephany, who nods in confirmation. "If you're not ready by the time we are, just catch a ride or ask one of the dragonriders to call me and Laeth, we'll come and get you. And just ask the Assistant Weyrlingmaster, Kera, once you arrive. She's been herding candidates and knows where to take ya.— OK I have to make sure she's not causing a fuss," and Nylca ducks out into the rain to ensure Laeth isn't invading any other inappropriate spaces, leaving Sephany to jump in with a quick, "I can show you, once you're there. I'll be working with them… you… the candidates. I'm assisting with the robes," is the explanation.

Trust Local Wally to show you the best spas, resorts and luxury hotels in Napa's Yountville area. Updated photos, unbiased reviews and cheapest rates.
Yountville is the ultimate Napa Valley hotel destination. It's a tiny town filled with luxurious resorts and Michelin star restaurants and plenty of wineries within walking distance. In fact, Yountville has so much to see and do that you might find yourself spending an entire day there shopping and tasting and taking in the natural beauty of the area.
Hotel options in Yountville are on the upper end, luxurious and at times expensive. But you won't find a better destination for a romantic getaway, a perfect location for strolling the town in the morning with a cup of coffee and then walking to dinner at the end of the day.
And don't forget to make your dinner reservations as soon as you book your hotel as every restaurant in Yountville books up fast. Check out the Yountville dining guide for my top picks!
Short on time? Don't want to drink and drive but still want to pack maximum wine tasting into your day? Then walk the Mile of Wineries in Yountville, stopping at the dozen or more tasting rooms along the way. I've outlined the simple trek in my Walking and Tasting Agenda, the perfect way to spend a day or afternoon. Some of the wineries even offer discounts if you have a Wine Pass. Look, I know you've already heard me say this but the pass is the way to go since most wineries are charging $20 or more per person to taste. Click here for more info on how to get a pass.
Villagio Inn and Spa has long been the ultimate destination when staying in Yountville. With its full spa, fireplaces in the room, spa bathrooms, and full resort style complimentary breakfast (with omelet guy and bottomless champagne) you'll be surrounded by luxury.
Rooms are large and well appointed, the best ones are upstairs and away from the back where the noise from Highway 29 could be a problem for some. Huge whirlpool bath big enough for 2, maybe 3 if you are adventurous. Top pick, if you can't book here consider Vintage Inn, its sister resort Vintage Inn is next door that is quite similar is slightly less luxurious.
LEED certified, eco-friendly, the only thing that is not sustainable will be your wallet as Bardessano is easily one of the most expensive places to stay in Yountville. That said, if your second car is a Tesla and you appreciate a hotel room that looks better than the HGTV dream house, Bardesso is for you.
In-room spa services, a hip bar and restaurant that features produce grown in their own gardens, complimentary bicycles, yoga, even a shuttle to take you to the nearby restaurants and wineries. If budget allows, splurge on Bardessano and expect to be enveloped with luxury. Romantic, honeymoon approved.
OK, so it's not exactly in the town of Yountville but close by, three secluded acres set alongside the Napa River. With only 12 suites, it's perfect for those wanting to escape the crowds and enjoy a private and exclusive getaway. Romantic? Why of course.
Fireplaces, oversized whirlpool tubs with green tea bath salts surrounded by candles, gourmet breakfast served anywhere you want, complimentary afternoon wine, expect to be pampered. Rates are actually better than you might think, priced very similar to other resorts but offering a very different and upscale experience. A nice alternative to the mega resorts, escape to Milliken Creen Inn and Spa.
This isn't my beautiful house. It's better! Looking more like a fully appointed upscale home than a hotel room, North Block Yountville is a chic and sophisticated alternative to the big resorts. Each of its 20 rooms are well appointed with keen attention to detail, from the mahogany front doors to the oversize soaking tubs to the luxurious thick wool carpeting.
Expect the best, from heated floors to an inviting pool. Complimentary bicycles are electric powered, perfect for exploring the many nearby wineries and restaurants in Yountville. Top notch and no compromise, North Block Yountville is for those who appreciate the very best.
Moderately priced hotel walking distance from the heart of Yountville. Huge rooms, fireplaces, good value.
Above average hotel set right in the vineyards. Great pool, moderately priced, comp. breakfast, fireplaces.
Excellent location, the sister resort to Villagio with similar amenities such as included breakfast, fireplaces, spa baths.

A fire tore through a Bronx apartment building on Thursday, killing at least 12 people, including a toddler, and leaving four others fighting for their lives in New York's deadliest blaze in decades.
The fire broke out around 6:51pm (2351 GMT) in a 25-apartment building near the Bronx Zoo, one of the most popular tourist attractions in the US financial capital.
A one-year-old child was among those killed as Red Cross volunteers handed out blankets and emergency responders set up a makeshift shelter in a nearby school on a bitterly cold night.
Tearful residents spoke of hearing shouts of "fire, fire" in the building and a mad rush to exit the property, battling past the smoke, with just the clothes on their backs into the sub-freezing night.
Mayor Bill de Blasio called it an "unspeakable tragedy," in the middle of the holiday season when families come together, as the city of 8.5 million straddles Christmas and New Year festivities.
"Tonight here in the Bronx there are families that have been torn apart. This is the worst fire tragedy we have seen in this city in at least a quarter century," de Blasio said.
"I am sorry to report 12 New Yorkers are dead, including one child as young as one year old," he told reporters after fire fighters extinguished the flames.
"There are four people critically injured who are fighting for their lives, other serious injuries as well," he added.
The blaze began on the first floor and spread rapidly throughout the five-floor walk-up on Prospect Avenue, with fire fighters on the scene within three minutes, department chief Daniel Nigro told reporters.
Television footage showed fire fighters plucking panicked residents to safety from a fire escape.
Two of the dead were discovered in a bath tub full of water, where they had apparently sheltered from the blaze, US media reported.
Nigro said it was "way too early" to comment on the cause of the inferno.
At least 12 people were rescued, but the search of the building continues, and the death toll could rise further, the mayor warned.
"This tragedy is, without question, historic in its magnitude. Our hearts go out to every family who lost a loved one here and everyone fighting for their lives," said Nigro.
"People died on various floors, they range in ages from one to over 50," he added. "In a department that's certainly no stranger to tragedy, we're shocked at this loss."
It was the second deadly New York residential blaze in less than two weeks. A mother and three children were killed in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn when a fire tore through their home on December 18.
In March 2007, 10 people were killed in another fire in the Bronx that tore through a home to two immigrant families, itself the worst fire in the city since 1990 apart from the September 11, 2001 attacks.
The New York Times said Thursday's blaze was the worst in the city since 87 people were killed in a 1990 inferno at a Bronx social club.

Q: Export Functions of DLL's as seen by depends I was looking over the list of  functions that were exported from a dll using depends and i noticed some weird symbols included with the names. They are of the format
??0Function Name@@QEAA@AEBV0@@Z
Also 0 maybe replaced by some other number.
The number of @@ and the alphabets  vary.
Can anybody tell what they represent?

A: That's the name of a C++ identifier that was decorated by the C++ compiler.  You can run the undname.exe utility from the Visual Studio Command Prompt to convert it back to the original C++ declaration:
C:\>undname ??0Foo@@QEAA@AEBV0@@Z
Microsoft (R) C++ Name Undecorator
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

Undecoration of :- "??0Foo@@QEAA@AEBV0@@Z"
is :- "public: __cdecl Foo::Foo(class Foo const & __ptr64) __ptr64"

Which makes it the copy constructor for the Foo class, compiled to 64-bit code.  The exact decoration algorithm is not documented that I know of.  In general, name decoration is used to avoid linker symbol collisions, necessary because C++ supports overloading.  You can suppress decoration by using extern "C" but that can't work on a C++ class.

A: In some situations you might be interested to undecorate these names programatically using an API Microsoft is providing UnDecorateSymbolName.

Vs. 40 There were also women looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome. 41 When he was in Galilee, they followed him and ministered to him, and there were also many other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.
When Jesus was on the cross, Mark mentions that there were women looking on. These women didn't just see Jesus for the first time from a distance while he was crucified. Mark says that they were with Jesus back in Galilee during his ministry. They followed him and ministered to him.
They followed Jesus. Wherever Jesus went, they went. This was demonstrated in the passage. Jesus was on the cross, they followed even then. They probably understood more than the apostles of what it meant to follow Jesus at that time.
They also ministered to Jesus. This is a different use of the word we're not used to seeing. We usually ask God to minister to us, or for a church to minister to us. But to minister to Jesus?
The word that is translated "minister" is the Greek verb diaconeo. The root of that word is where we get the Greek noun diaconos, which is where we derive the English word "deacon".
These women were deacons to Jesus? In a way, yes. When you look to what the original ordained deacons did, they served and cared for the believers. They ministered to the believers. That is what these women did for Jesus. Luke 8:3 mentions women who ministered to Jesus out of their means. In other words, if they had anything that belonged to them that Jesus needed, they would give it to Jesus to care for him.
Following Jesus is tough. But to be his minister? That's even tougher. It involves giving of yourself for Jesus. Most importantly, it involves love.
Jesus says he did not come to be served, but to serve. He's using the same word, diaconeo. Jesus is King. He is Lord. But yet he says he came to serve, not to be served. These women were served by Jesus. They were cared for. They were healed. They were saved. Whether they were a prostitute, a leper, or demon possessed, they were ministered to by Jesus by being healed and forgiven. They experienced love. Their natural response was to love back. They followed Jesus because they loved him. They ministered to Jesus because they loved him.
How do we minister to Christ? We must first ask ourselves, do we love Jesus? Have we been saved from our own brokenness in sin by the blood of Christ? Have you experienced his love? If so, is your response to love him back? If not, maybe you don't quite understand how much you need him. If you do love him back, then follow him. Go where he has called you to go – to go and preach the Gospel to the nations. Minister to him wherever you are. The Church is the body of Christ. When you minister to believers, you minister to Jesus. When you provide food, a place to stay, a ride to Church, visit in times of need for a fellow believer, you minister to Jesus. Even when you give your offerings to your church so they can pay their bills and mortgage, you are ministering to Jesus. And while you're doing this, you do it because you love Jesus. Not because you want glory, attention or fame. You simply want to follow and minister to the one who saved you.
Lord, remind us of your amazing love which was shown in the way you ministered to us on the cross. Let your love inspire us to follow you and minister to you in this world.
We follow Jesus even if we have to suffer for it. We minister to him even if we have to give of our own selves for his church. We follow Jesus and minister to Jesus because he loved us, and we love him.


The UK Commission produced a conference poster to highlight the wealth of information available from the UK Commission's Employer Skills Survey 2011. We wanted an eye-catching poster that would stand out from the crowd and help us communicate key findings clearly. We've reconfigured the poster for our blog and would welcome your feedback.
Are you a policy maker? Is presenting information in this way useful in finding out about and accessing data?
Are you a business? Does presenting information in this way help you to understand the skills environment?
Having used the Employer Survey in recent years, this provides an excellent way of presenting the material in a short & sweet way.
Would it be possible to provide some form of pictorial representation of training by region. Might provide a visual emphasis of the need to increase training in the regions.
Pointing out the cost and time issues without suggestions for how to overcome them is more likely to make business decision makers just nod and agree and not do anything about it.
Interesting as a training provider though!
useful way of providing information but presenting the stark facts with no analysis may lead people to make the wrong conclusions. large companies are always going to train more if the question is do you train people and many companies only consider off the job courses as training and do not think you mean learning. Facts without some analysis can point to obvious conclusions which may or may not be true.
Thanks for all of your feedback, it is really appreciated as it helps inform our future work. This year we have been looking at different channels which we can engage with employers and the infographics (along with the animations on our youtube channel) are one channel. We are going to be producing content for different audiences in future and we will think about what kind of info/messages will resonate most with employers but all of your comments so far have been useful to take on board.
Peter- A colleague of mine is producing a whole series of maps which look at specific questions from the survey and maps the results by local authority and local enterprise partnership level. When these are available, we will put up a blog post so please keep checking back.
Leia and Stewart- Thanks for your comments. The purpose of the infographic (and our animations on our youtube channel) was to pull out key findings from the survey report and present them in an accessible format. However, you are right to point out the need for context and further analysis.
Thanks again all for taking the time to comment. We will feed this into our future work and specifically the thinking for our forthcoming work on the Employer Perspectives Survey which is to be published in December.
I think your infographic gets across key results really well & is easy to translate.
Are you also producing infographics around your results for skills gaps / shortages / needs by sector / occupation?
Let me know what you think. We are currently planning our future work showcasing our research findings through the blog so we may look at producing a similar infographic to look at this area in more detail.
Both the webisode animations on You Tube are excellent, a really interesting way to package the information - I have shared them via Twitter & will share via LinkedIn also.
I would be really interested in finding out further detailed information around skills shortages from your survey...could you point me in the right direction? Have you looked at producing any information in webisode animation or infographic by region / sub-region, providing a localised breakdown?
Thanks for this - very interesting. I'd very much like to replicate in the voluntary youth sector and would be interested in helping to promote the next survey to our members. Do let me know if you're interested in collaborating at all.
The infographic works well to present the information. but it would be more effective if it also gave some information about the benefits of training. Big companies train more people than small companies is not exactly unexpected. The type of training and it's effect on performance would be far more useful. I worked for a large organisation which used e-learning. They would say they trained their staff, but most people just flicked through mandatory courses without actually leaning anything. Should that really count as training your staff?

Home Projects About HMWF Research Area
HMWF sponsors research using the lands and waters of the Lake Superior basin generally, but with particular focus and priority on studies of the Huron Mountain region of northern Marquette Co., MI. This is a particularly pristine area embedded in a much larger region with very little development. It includes an unusually wide array of terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Terrestrial habitats range from mesic forests, to dry, sandy outwash plains dominated by jack pine, to extensive granite and sandstone outcropping areas. Aquatic and shore-line habitats range from the cliffs and beaches of Lake Superior's coast to a wide range of inland bogs, wetlands, streams, and lakes.
Most HMWF-sponsored projects make use, in particular, of the lands of the Huron Mountain Club. This private holding of more than 8000 ha includes most of this range of habitats in unusually pristine condition. About half of the Club lands support old-growth forests. The Foundation provides exclusive research access to Huron Mt. Club lands; because access is limited and the lands are patrolled, research sites are unusually safe from interference.


Brick by brick, we are transforming our health care ministry. In doing so, we are creating new opportunities to make a positive difference in the lives of those whom we are called to serve. The bricks that we add to our healing foundation come in many shapes. Our "bricks" may be a collaborative initiative to reduce readmissions, a medical home to better manage our patients' chronic conditions, a better process to improve quality or an innovative curriculum to teach the nurses of tomorrow.
HSHS St. Vincent Hospital has a long history of collaborating with the Brown County Public Health Department to plan for our community's future health needs. We worked with the Brown County and City of DePere Health Departments to identify Brown County's top health issues through the Community Health Improvement Process (CHIP). Representatives from HSHS St. Vincent Hospital served on both the steering committee for this project and the Community Partner meetings where the priorities were identified. Action plans were developed by identifying community strengths, existing resources and gaps.
Project SEARCH is a one-year transition program that immerses students with developmental disabilities in a combination of classroom instruction, career exploration and hands-on training through a series of three 10-week work-site rotations. HSHS St. Vincent Hospital partnered with ASPIRO, Bellin Health, CESA 7, area high schools and the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development – Division of Vocational Rehabilitation to bring the program to the community.

Award-Winning Chef Joins NY Culinary Art School
February 21, 2012 - By Beverly Lansing
An award-winning pastry chef recently announced his intention to join the educators at an acclaimed culinary arts school in New York, NY this spring.
Pastry Chef Michael Laiskonis will begin working as the Creative Director for the Institute of Culinary Education in March, where he will spend his time helping the school create advanced curriculum and will work in the classroom teaching students at the culinary art school.
Chef Laiskonis decided to join the team at the culinary art school after years in the restaurant business, during which he won multiple awards as a pastry chef and innovator. He is most widely known for work done while he was the Executive Pastry Chef at Le Bernadin restaurant where he helped achieve a four-star rating from the New York Times.
The Institute of Culinary Education is a renowned culinary art school founded in New York in 1975, with a whole-industry approach; teaching students about the art of cooking as well as entrepreneurial and company-based career skills. The culinary art school and Chef Laiskonis have been in talks for a few months about the position of Creative Director, a new position created specifically for his new role at the Institute of Culinary Education (ICE).
Laiskonis says that he met with the president of the culinary art school to talk about how his years of experience would translate into the school setting at ICE. It was decided that Laiskonis, also an advisory board member at ICE, could serve in numerous capacities at the school; namely as creative advisor for curriculum matters as well as student education.
Laiskonis also blogged, "While the restaurant kitchen provided abundant resources to play and experiment, in addition to a stage on which to apply them, there never seemed enough time to pursue all of those ideas I've scribbled down over time."

On Sept. 26, deep inside Taliban-controlled territory in Afghanistan's Helmand province, Afghan counternarcotics agents backed by their Australian counterparts seized and destroyed $350 million worth of illegal narcotics. The operation set a record for drug seizures in Afghanistan, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Two weeks earlier, the same authorities busted the largest heroin-producing facility found in Afghanistan since 2006, capturing drugs worth $150 million if sold in the U.S. Both operations took millions of dollars from the pockets of insurgents who might otherwise use the money to buy weapons and ultimately mount narco-terrorist attacks inside Afghanistan.

Child Hunger Ends Here Launches
With one in four American children struggling with hunger, ConAgra Foods(R) (NYSE: CAG), in partnership with Feeding America(R), is asking consumers to act now by taking part in a new initiative to fight child hunger. ConAgra Foods' Child Hunger Ends Here(TM) campaign is designed to draw attention to child hunger in the United States and provide consumers with simple ways to help end it. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 17.2 million children are at risk of hunger across the nation in communities that include rural towns; suburban neighborhoods and urban centers - making it clear that hunger is a reality for many Americans.

Q: Create tar file on Solaris and untar the file on Linux is it right? I want to create tar file on Solaris (Solaris 10 ) as Kit.tar
and untar the Kit.tar on Linux machine ( linux red-hat 3/4/5 )
Can we be safe with that untar process on Linux machine? ,
I want to be sure that all files (binaries and files) that extract from Solaris ( as tar cvf Kit.tar * )
will be exactly on the Linux machine  ( as tar xvf Kit.tar )
SYNOPSIS from the MAN page
on Linux
   tar <operation> [options]

   Operations:
   [-]A --catenate --concatenate
   [-]c --create
   [-]d --diff --compare
   [-]r --append
   [-]t --list
   [-]u --update
   [-]x --extract --get
   --delete

on Soalris
 tar c[BDeEFhilnopPqTvw@[0-7]][bfk][X...] [blocksize]
     [tarfile] [size] [exclude-file]...
     {file | -I include-file | -C directory file}...

A: Sure, that will be OK - tar files are not tied to a single platform.

A: TL;DR; — yes, tar files are fairly standard, you will be able to handle them on a wide range of UNIX-like systems. This is so unless you use GNU-specific tar extensions in your files. See http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/Extensions.html for details.
Console options might be different — this is due to the fact Solaris'es tar relates to bsdtar, while most Linux distributions use GNU utilities.
See this question for details: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/101561/what-are-the-differences-between-bsdtar-and-gnu-tar

linux red-hat 3/4/5

Do you mean Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3/4/5?
Red Hat Linux was RHEL's predecessor back in the 1990s and early 2000s. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat_Linux for details

A: When going in the direction from Solaris --> Linux it is generally okay to create with Sun's tar and then extract with Linux tar (aka GNU tar). This is because GNU tar is a superset of Sun's tar.
But to be safe you should really make it a habit to always to use GNU Tar on Solaris, in particular if you are unpacking something that originates from another platform, say Linux. (meaning going in the opposite direction)
GNU Tar is installed by default in Solaris 10 and later. On Solaris 10 you'll find it in /usr/sfw/bin/gtar.
Personally I've made it a habit to always use the gtar command on Solaris in favor of the tar command. Then you don't have to think about it.

Useful Information To Trinidadian Girls
The nation houses people of several different countrywide, ethnic and spiritual roots. As a performance, Trinidadians https://toplatinwomen.com/trinidad-women/ do not associate their nationality with ethnicity, however with nationality, cultural identification with the island destinations while complete, or perhaps both Trinidad or Tobago particularly.
Afro-Trinidadians and Tobagonians
A larger number migrated back in the Nineteen Eighties when essential oil prices fell into, sending the Republic in a deep tough economy. Trinidadians and Tobagonians are the second greatest group of English-talking West Indian immigrants inside the United States. Trinidadian and Tobagonian Americans (also referred to as Trinbagonian Americans) happen to be Americans of full or incomplete Trinidadian or Tobagonian ancestry or immigrants launched in Trinidad and Tobago.
Both island destinations were visited by Captain christopher Columbus on his third voyage in 1498 and claimed inside the name of Spain. Trinidad remained in Spanish hands till 1797, nevertheless it was largely settled by French settlers.
The is property to people of many various across the country, ethnic and religious roots.
Although citizens make up the majority of Trinidadians, there's a significant number of Trinidadian expatriates, two citizens and descendants property worldwide, predominantly elsewhere inside the Anglosphere.
Both equally islands have been visited by Christopher Columbus on his third voyage in 1498 and claimed within the name of Spain.
Interpersonal interpretations of race in Trinidad and Tobago are occasionally used to specify who is of African descent.
As a result, Trinidadians will not equate the nationality with ethnicity, but with citizenship, ethnic identification with the islands while whole, or either Trinidad or Tobago specifically.
In addition to ingredients which are native to Jamaica, various meals are generally launched and tend to be actually grown domestically. A diverse number of seafoods, tropical fruits and chicken can be found. Jamaican culture is made up of the beliefs, norms, prices, and way of life that outline for you the people of Jamaica. The culture is certainly mixed, with an ethnically several society, stemming from a historical past of inhabitants beginning with the original Taino people.
Afro-Trinidadian and Tobagonian
Later, Cornish which could always be argued motivated the development of the Jamaican patty, an embrollo styled turnover full of spiced meat. Several Jamaican dishes dishes are variations over the cuisines and cooking types dropped at the tropical isle from elsewhere. Popular Jamaican dishes include curry goat, fried dumplings, ackee and saltfish (cod).
The first recorded account of black immigration for the United States through the Caribbean days again to 1619, if your small group of voluntary indentured workers arrived in Jamestown, Virginia, over a Dutch frigate. The migrants labored because free persons until 1629 when a Portuguese vessel came with the principal shipload of blacks captured off the western world coast of Africa. In the 1640s Va and different advises began instituting laws that took away the liberty of blacks and expanded them mainly because chattel or personal property. Trinidad, like a great many other islands in the British Western Indies, offered as a clearinghouse for slaves en route to The united states.


Alcohol is made by converting sugar(whether it's the grapes natural sugar or added sugar) into alcohol during the fermentation process.
Dry means not sweet. Dry wine is made by allowing all of the sugar to convert into alcohol during the fermentation process.
Sweet wine is well, wine that is sweet because of residual sugar, or sugar left over(not converted into alcohol) from the winemaking process.
The degree of sweetness in wine is based on how much sugar is allowed to remain after fermentation. The process of creating sweet wine is called halted fermentation.
Halted Fermentation is where you stop the fermentation before all sugar has converted to alcohol.
Therefore, depending on when you halt the fermentation will dictate how sweet the wine will be.
Another method to make wine is called Suisse Reserve. Suisse Reserve is more connected with German winemaking. This makes wine sweeter by adding unfermented grape juice to wine that has already been fermented.
Some wine makers will even add unfermented grape juice and sugar.
Chaptalization DOES NOT make wine sweet. I only mention Chaptalization because people often confuse this process with making wine sweeter. This method is where you add sugar to unfermented grape juice in order to create a higher alcohol level in the wine.
Wine Tip: All wine is DRY or NOT SWEET unless specified. You can assume that unless you're ordering off the dessert wine list or the dessert wine section in your liquor store that it's all dry.
There are wines that are more fruit forward. Fruit-forward wines can give the impression of sweetness, but they aren't sweet; they just have ripe juicy fruit qualities.
