Ten top young people win 2011 Golden Globe Awards
Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan awarded Golden Globes to 10 outstanding young individuals at the Government Office in Hanoi on Dec. 29.
It was the first time Golden Globes have been presented to outstanding young individuals in information technology, pharmacy and medical technology, biological technology and environmental technology, Nhan said.
Previously, the award was only given to outstanding individuals in information technology.
Each winner received 40 million VND (1,900 USD), four times higher than last year, he said.
The youngest winner at the 2011 Golden Globe Awards was Nguyen Vuong Linh, 18, a student at Viet Nam National University's College of Technology, who won a gold medal at the 23rd International Olympiad in Informatics in Thailand.
"To be the youngest winner of the award was amazing and I feel very proud. I want to thank my teachers and family very much for supporting me," Linh said.
Another winner, Tay-ethnic woman To Thi Nha Tram, 28, said: "The award will motivate me to do more and more scientific research and contribute to national technology development."
Tram, who works for HCM City's Agriculture and Forestry University, won first prize at the 2007 Eureka Student Scientific Research Contest.
Hoang Van Sam, 34, director of the Forestry University's Biology Diversification Centre, hoped the Government would allocate more funds for students studying science.
In response, Nhan said he would ask the Prime Minister to call on the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee to hold discussions with students before March 26.
Nhan also ordered the committee to broaden the awards to include more field of technology.
Meanwhile, the 20 female students from 18 universities were granted a Reward for the Brightest Female Student in Information Technology.
The Ministry of Science and Technology and Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union Central Committee set up the Golden Globe Awards and the Reward for the Brightest Female Student in Information Technology in 2003./.

Today I want to talk to you about a fantastic program that I take part in called Dormifam.
Before I even got into college, I was planning my freshman dorm. I had a Pinterest page filled with hundreds of images designing my idealistic living space. I was constantly searching on Amazon and Target for cute decor.
In March of 2018, after I had been accepted and enrolled into my dream school, I got an email from Dormify.com. I already loved their site and their products so I was excited when they asked if I would join a new program they were starting called Dormifam.
I immediately accepted, joined the facebook page and became one of the first hundred members of this group. There are many perks to being a part of Dormifam. We each got a personalized code to give out to our friends to give discounts on Dormify products, we were allowed access to sales before they were made public, and much much more.
Being a part of this group is being a part of a community that is nationwide. It has been so great to see Dormifam turn into a forum for college-aged students to ask questions, share ideas, and create a difference in our world.
The best part is, you can participate as little or as much as you want to. Dormifam lets you design your own experience, and I am so happy to be a part of it.


T.J. Warren led all scorers with 36 points, but Marcus Paige's 35 was enough for North Carolina to escape NC State with an 85-84 overtime win.
Warren's two free throws with two seconds left in regulation tied the game at 71, and he scored nine points in the extra session, but a missed free throw opened the door for the Tar Hells and Paige walked through it, scoring a layup with four seconds to go for the final, one-point edge.
Paige made a pair of three-pointers in OT and had 10 of North Carolina's 14 points in the extra session on his career-high night, going 11-for-21 overall and 7-for-12 from beyond the arc. The sophomore sensation was 6-for-8 at the foul line, with six rebounds, five assists and a pair of steals.
North Carolina improved to 21-7 and 11-4 in the ACC, while the Wolfpack dropped to 7-8 n conference play and 17-11 overall. While the Tar Heels appear to be a lock for the NCAA tourney, NC State still may have some work to do in order to get a ticket to the big dance.


Harry Potter meet Indiana Jones in this delightfully creepy story about a boy, his grandfather and some truly monstrous robots.
Alex's life gets turned upside down when his grandfather sends him an old toy robot and the note, "This one is special." He has no idea the robot hides a deadly secret. Soon he and his grandfather are running for their lives across snowy Europe. The people after the robot are unusually cunning and will stop at nothing to get it. Alex must trust his instincts to escape attack after attack and uncover the real reason the robot was sent to him.
With a mysterious premise, plenty of action and a main character you can root for, Monstrous Devices is the beginning of a fantastic new series. It has the perfect blend of history, magic and action. It is a must read (or listen). I especially recommend the audio version with excellent narration by Alan Corduner.


end of the buffer, in a dedicated "composition area".
makes it very convenient to *quote/cite from different messages*.
With a prefix argument, it prepends a citation line (e.g. "John doe wrote...").
This is similar to how messengers like Whatsapp work.
This is the real killer-feature of mu4e-conversation in my opinion.
What to you people think of adding such a feature to notmuch-show?

COVID-Sensitive Nutrition Marketing Messages for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in SUN Countries
In early May 2020, a survey of food system small and medium enterprises (SME) in 17 countries was conducted by the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) through national Scaling Up Nutrition Business Networks (SBN), convened by GAIN, the World Food Programme, and other partners. The survey aimed to assess the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated control measures on businesses and their support needs. GAIN and partners received 363 responses, with most being from micro- or small-sized firms; respondents were primarily firms in the processing and distribution sectors.
Sixty-four percent of firms reported urgently needing technical support to cope with the effects of the pandemic on their business. Main types of technical assistance sought were advice on sales or distribution (49 percent) or marketing (49 percent), business resilience planning (47 percent), development of online platforms (43 percent) and quality assurance and/or quality control (42 percent).
Marketing was the top technical assistance request in the following countries: Africa (Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Tanzania and Mozambique) and Asia (Bangladesh, Indonesia and Sri Lanka). Based on these results, it has been recommended that governments and other development partners take steps to support these crucial yet vulnerable food system SMEs during this period, to ensure they remain in a position to provide nutritious, safe foods in the future.
This brief outlines nutrition and health claims and COVID-sensitive nutrition marketing messages for national SUN Business Network SMEs that can be tailored to their local context to help promote products that can contribute to good nutrition and healthy diets during and post the COVID-19 pandemic.

Singapore's first association to promote healthy aging was launched on 14th June 2002 by a group of doctors and business professionals. Aptly named the Healthy Aging Association (HAA!), this is the first association in Singapore dedicated to educating and promoting awareness of, and to act as a catalyst in the practice of healthy aging.
To this end, HAA! - a non-profit organization - will provide a variety of activities and programmes to heighten the importance of a healthy lifestyle among the older population and to encourage those in their mid-life to start planning and taking action for a new chapter in their lives.
For the first time, a pool of highly experienced doctors have come together to offer voluntary help in the form of medical advice and education. In addition, they will collaborate with a group of non-medical people to work toward understanding and meeting the diverse needs of today's modern older generation.
The acronym 'HAA!' is both an assertive expression of the vitality of life and a defiant shout against the ravages of time. We cannot help getting old, but we can all continue to live meaningful lives if we can maintain our health and well-being.
HAA! is the only association in Singapore which focuses on the golden age group, 50s to late 80's. Health checks will be specially customized for those in this age group, without wasting time and money on unnecessary or irrelevant checks which are more suited for younger people. Health and nutrition talks will also be skewed towards their needs.
Regardless of age, one's mind and body can be as young and 'evergreen' as they wish it to be, provided one prepares for it. Aging brings with it hormonal changes, concurrent diseases, depression and marital friction which accelerate aging and affect one's sense of well-being. In the worst case, it renders one a burden not only to oneself but also to one's family and society. Once fit and active people have been seen to be reduced to a shadow of their former selves, retreating into a shell as they advance in years. HAA! aims to offer these people options to get back into shape, both physically and mentally.
We want to encourage the older population to do more challenging and meaningful things, thereby giving them a new purpose in life and to live healthily and independently, thus reducing their reliance on their children, relatives and the State. It is also about people establishing a social network, having fun, engaging in activities that interest them.
With more than 2.1 million Singaporeans now over the age of 45, and an expanding grey population, it is crucial for the public to be educated about aging, to make immediate and informed choices that will impact their mental and physical health. HAA! will promote the concept of healthy aging through a number of avenues including talks and forums & social activities.
Often, when people retire they find their social life and social network wanting, as their busy careers had previously put this part of their lives 'on hold'. Suddenly, there are few challenges, perhaps too much time on their hands and life begins to become unsatisfying. These can negatively impact on mental and physical health.
HAA! will educate people about the importance of the second part of their lives. It will not only be satisfying to themselves, but also positively contributing to society. HAA! also seeks to attract interested and like-minded people to join, either to serve as volunteers or members. As a non-profit organization, HAA! will have to depend on its membership subscriptions and donations from the public.
This group comprises of people between 50s to their late 80s where most people are mentally fit and physically active and are usually at the peak of their respective professions or careers. Because of our social system requiring such people to stop work, or retire, many people in this group find themselves suddenly without a meaningful existence where their achievements, their special skills and networking established over the years, are lost. It is our view that this group of people can be and should be revitalised and even start a second career over the next 20 to 25 years. Here, they can make positive contributions to the family and to the society, not to mention a new sense of purpose and challenge they would enjoy over the remaining years of their lives. To put them away in retirement mode would not only be a waste of their talents in human resource-scarce Singapore, but would inevitably increase the burden to the family and eventually to the society.
Singapore's population is increasing in median age as a result of decreased birth rate and increasing longevity resulting from good medical care and availability of good social amenities. A consequence of aging, which is both psychological and physical, inevitably results in falling hormone levels, concurrent diseases associated with aging like high blood pressure, diabetes and depression. All these changes severely impact on a person's sense of well-being, as well as severely restrict his ability to contribute to his family and society in terms of productivity and general usefulness. If not addressed, a large reservoir of human talent in the age group (from 55 to 80 years old) may become unproductive. In the worst case, they become a burden not only to themselves but to their families and society.


JM's Nicaraguan cigars- the only cigar I've ever seen where the manufacturer practically GIVES you the cigar. It's unlike anything we've ever seen here. These stogies are stuffed with Nicaraguan tobaccos, bound in a Connecticut broadleaf, and wrapped in a rich maduro leaf. Most selections are offered in super-size boxes of 50 (the 5 1/2 x 62 Gordos are in boxes of 24), giving you even more bang for your buck. In short: for short money, you're getting prizefighting flavor from this underdog. Get yours now!


Want to be notified of new releases in mozilla-l10n/android-l10n-tooling?
This repository hosts code to create and maintain the android-l10n repository. It provides both cross-product and cross-branch strings, joining the strings in several strings.xml files from different repositories and branches.
The best way to run this is to create the docker image, and run the process inside a docker container.
docker build -t android-l10n-tooling .
This is the process to transfer strings from the Android project repositories onto the android-l10n strings-only repository.
Outside of the container, you want to have the android-l10n repository. There you should make manual git changes, like changes to the config.toml file. That way, you don't need to set up your git identity inside the container.
We're using android-components as an example on how to update the quarantine branch of an Android project. Adjust the organization and repository name to match the project you're actually working on. Here are the steps, first, fire up the container.
Make sure to adjust the path to your android-l10n repository you have on your machine.
This should pull a new clone of android-components in your container, and update the android-l10n repository on your machine. It will create or maintain the android-components-quarantine branch.
If you'd like to check the result of the conversion for a local repository state of yours, you want to modify the branch in config.toml, and mount your local clone to /workdir/mozilla-mobile/android-components when starting the docker container.
This is the process to get strings from the android-l10n strings-only repository back into the Android project repositories. These commands are run in the same docker container as for exporting.
Outside of the container, you want to have your project repository, and mount that while running the command. Same goes for the android-l10n repository.
The first argument is the l10n.toml for the project as it lives inside android-l10n. The second argument is the path to the local checkout of the project repository.
This command doesn't do anything related to git, so you want to check out a git branch before running it, and add/commit afterwards.


Several months ago, I just heard about the beauty treatment salon known as CoLaz. One of my coworker said that she had tried the laser hair removal in CoLaz and she was very happy with the result. Also, some of my friends told me that the said beauty salon has very welcoming and professional beauty specialists.
Out of my curiosity, I went to this beauty centre just recently and tried their wide arrays of beauty-related services. Facials, Massage Therapy, Microdermabrasion, and Cosmetic Teeth Whitening are few of the excellent services I tried from them. And now, I can say that CoLaz is the best beauty salon ever that I have visited in my entire life. I am more than happy with my decision of trusting them. My face looks more beautiful and appears more radiant now. Those facial blemishes like whiteheads and blackheads are gone.
The beauty clinic's excellent cosmetic teeth whitening service also helped me to confidently make some big and beautiful smiles since my teeth become whiter than before. In just a matter of 20 minutes, the ever-friendly specialist was done rendering the service. What's even the best about it is there are no horrible side effects that will occur, and I can personally attest to that.
Another thing I can never forget on my entire beauty experience in CoLaz is my fantastic massage therapy experience. The therapy rooms are too cozy and relaxing for you to ignore. It is as if you are one with nature while having your relaxing moments here. Some real and artificial plants will welcome you in the room.
After my beauty sessions to them, I have said to myself that I can never find any other beauty salon that can match the excellence of CoLaz in rendering their services as well as in making their customers at home.

Q: How to change values of variables using methods? I am having troubles incrementing the value of my instance variables. I tried making a method so that for every pet I buy, it will add that much to how many I already have. But when I print dogs variable, it says 0 even though I added 2. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks!
public class myStuff
    static int dogs;
    static int cats;
public static void main(String[] args) {
    myStuff.buy(dogs, 2);
    System.out.println(dogs);

}
public static void buy(int pet, int howMany) {
    pet = pet + howMany;
}

}

A: you cant do that in java, since it is pass-by-value

A: In Java, method parameters are passed by value (which means the value of dogsin your case is passed in the first Place, but never touched). Objects however, are manipulated by reference. So, if you want to increase the number of pets, you could use a class Pet with a value count
public class Pet {
    private int count;

    public Pet(int count) {
        this.count = count;
    }

    public int getCount() {
        return count;
    }

    public void setCount(int count) {
        this.count = count;
    }
}

If you then pass an instance of Pet to your buy function and increase the count via setCount, the value will be saved.

No Dutch, no Belgians and no Spanish international players in the HIL this year
Columns English, HIL, Olympics	3
The HIL is without doubt an added value in the international hockey calendar. It has proven this for 3 consecutive years and is about to embark on its 4th season… with new sponsors, new teams, new coaches… and new players. Next Monday (2016-01-18) the opening match will be played in Bhubaneswar between the local favorites the Kalinga Lancers and the Uttar Pradesh Wizards. Without doubt in front of a full stadium with thousands of hockey crazy Indian supporters, a couple of thousands more will follow the games on internet or local TV stations around the world and millions, yes millions… will watch the tournament on TV in India.
However since it is an Olympic year with Rio 2016 starting in just over half a year, the HIL will have to make do without the internationals from at least 3 top nations. No Dutch, no Belgian and no Spanish internationals are "allowed" to enjoy this wonderful addition to the hockey calendar. They will not be making their share of rupees to be able to continue to live as a full professional for their sport in this crucial year… Because they're off with their national team to South Africa and/or Argentina preparing for Rio and yes… even for pro hockey players the possibility of an Olympic medal ranks higher then making a living. So when put to the choice by their national coaches these guys really have no choice then to forsake this year's HIL and hoping the HIL teams will have a spot for them next season again. The Australians, the Germans and the English did manage to fit the HIL into their preparations before Rio… so their players (at least the ones that wanted to and were picked during the auction) will make their appearance in the HIL that is about to start.
I, for one, am sorry that not all top players were given the chance to compete (and make some money) in this great event. But it's no use crying o ver spilled milk… A truly great hockey year is about to start with lot's of hockey to enjoy all around the globe, starting of this Monday in India with the 4th HIL, followed by the top European competitions and peaking with the best of hockey in August during the Rio Games and finishing off in style back in India at the end of the year with the Junior World Cup…
2016 is going to be an exciting year for hockey !

Q: Sphinx. How fast are Random results? Does anybody have experience with getting random results from index with +100,000,000 (100 million) records.
The goal is getting 30 results ordered by random, at least 100 times per second.
Actually my records are in MySQL but selecting ORDER BY RAND() from huge tables is the most easiest way to kill MySQL.
Sphinxsearch or whatever what do you recommend?

A: I dont have that big an index to try.
barry@server:~/modules/sphinx-2.0.1-beta/api# time php test.php -i gi_stemmed --sortby @random --select id
Query '' retrieved 20 of 3067775 matches in 0.081 sec.
Query stats:

Matches:
<SNIP>

real    0m0.100s
user    0m0.010s
sys     0m0.010s

This is on a reasonably powerful dedicated server - that is serving live queries (~20qps)

But to be honest if you dont need filtering (ie each query has a 'WHERE' clause), you can just setup a system that returns random results - can do this with mysql. Just using ORDER BY RAND() is evil (and sphinx while better at sorting than mysql is still doing basically the same thing).
How 'sparse' is your data? If most of your ids are used, can just do soemthing like
$ids = array();
$max = getOne("SELECT MAX(id) FROM table");
foreach(range(1,30) as $idx) {
   $ids[] = rand(1,$max);
}
$query = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE id IN (".implode(',',$ids).")";

(may want to use shuffle() in php on the results afterwards as you likly to get the results out of mysql in id order)
Which will be much more efficient. If you do have holes, perhaps just lookup 33 rows. Sometimes will get more than need, (just discard), but you should still get 30 most of the times.
(Of course you could cache the '$max' somewhere, so it doesnt have to be looked up all the time.)
Otherwise you could setup a dedicated 'shuffled' list. Basically a FIFO buffer, have one thread, filling it with random results (perhaps using the above system, using 3000 ids at a time) and then the consumers just read random results directly out of this queue.
FIFO, is not particully easy to implement with mysql, so maybe use a different system - maybe redis, or even just memcache.

Do sad songs make us feel better or worse?
Published	 Thursday 18 July 2013	 Published	Thu 18 Jul 2013
By Marie Ellis
Sir Elton John once sang that "Sad songs say so much." But do they make us sad?
Researchers at Tokyo University of the Arts and the RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Japan set out to answer this question in a recent study published online. They posed the question, "why do we listen to sad music if it evokes sadness?"
The results show that, contrary to popular belief, listening to sad music actually makes us "feel more romantic, more blithe, and less tragic emotions."
In the study, researchers divided emotions relating to music into two categories: perceived emotion and felt emotion for 44 participants, who listened to two sad songs and one happy song. The participants then rated their emotions against 62 words or phrases, saying how much they identified with each on a scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 4 (very much).
Though the participants perceived that the sad music was "tragic," their actual experience of listening to the music was rated much more cheerfully.
The researchers write:
"The participants seemed to experience ambivalent emotions when listening to sad music. This is possibly because the emotion induced by music is indirect, that is, not induced by personal events, which somehow induces participants to feel pleasure as well."
The sad songs that participants listened to were Nocturne in F minor "La Separation" by Glinka and Etude G minor "Sur Mer" by Blumenfeld. Researchers also played these songs in a major key in order to control for the "happy effect."
They noted that emotions stirred up by music do not pose a direct threat to listeners, unlike emotions we feel on a daily basis. "Therefore," they say, "we can even enjoy unpleasant emotion such as sadness. If we suffer from unpleasant emotion evoked through daily life, sad music might be helpful to alleviate negative emotion."
Several studies have been conducted recently about the benefits of listening to music, most notably one about the benefits of music for both mental and physical health.
Even Sir Elton knows the benefits of identifying with sad songs:
"If someone else is suffering enough to write it down
When every single word makes sense
Then it's easier to have those songs around
The kick inside is in the line that finally gets to you
and it feels so good to hurt so bad
And suffer just enough to sing the blues."
Sad Songs (Say So Much), Elton John and Bernie Taupin
The researchers conclude that a new model needs to be created for examining musically induced emotions: "This new model must entertain the possibility that what we experience when listening to music is vicarious emotion."
Perhaps Sir Elton can help the researchers with their aims.

Pat-INFORMED is designed to help procurement agencies better understand the global patent status of medicines, for example to anticipate generic launch and to design tenders. It includes a free open access database of patent information, and a platform where procurement agencies can make direct enquiries to companies. This is already happening in many countries. For example, in the UK, the Commercial Medicines Unit asks brand owners about the patents that cover their products, and uses this to determine when to publish competitive tenders or to design tenders to take these patents into account. The patient access schemes liaison unit (PASLU), set up by NICE, also asks companies for information on expiry dates of relevant UK/ EU patents and Supplementary Protection Certificates (SPC) as part of the documentation required to negotiate patient access schemes.
The database currently includes patent information on small molecule drugs in certain therapy areas (oncology, hepatitis C, cardiovascular, HIV, diabetes, and respiratory), together with any products on the WHO Essential Medicines List that are not within these therapy areas. It covers a total of 169 INNs. However, it is likely that procurement bodies will still need to carry out further checks, for example for information on SPCs or pending applications. In its second phase, the initiative will extend to all therapeutic areas and explore the inclusion of complex therapeutics.

Onion, Dog That Killed Las Vegas Toddler Jeremiah Eskew-Shahan, Released to Animal-Rights Group
Phyllis M Daugherty
Onion, a 120-pound Mastiff-Rhodesian Ridgeback-mix dog that killed little Jeremiah Eskew-Shahan on his first birthday at his grandmother's home in Henderson, Nevada, has been turned over to the Lexus Project, an animal rights group based in New York.
Onion got a stay of execution because the Lexus Project petitioned the Nevada State Supreme Court to consider the case after Distinct Judge Joanna Kishner ruled that the group did not follow proper procedure and had no standing to intervene to take Onion to a sanctuary rather than allowing him to be euthanized at the Henderson Animal Shelter.
On Thursday, May 24, 2012, the Nevada Supreme Court rejected the petition to hear the case, saying that its intervention was not warranted, according to the Sun report.
However, that Friday, in a ruling that was not publicly distributed until Tuesday, May 29, the State Supreme Court ordered any action in regard to Onion delayed for 72 hours until District Judge Joanna Kishner ruled on the appeal to save the dog. The action to delay was necessary because Onion could have been euthanized on Tuesday.
According to the Las Vegas Sun report, after Kishner ruled, the Supreme Court ordered that the Lexus Project report back on the status of the case. The court indicated it would decide then whether to hear it. The Lexus Project said it wants Onion released and sent to a sanctuary in Colorado.
ONION RELEASED TO ANIMAL-RIGHTS GROUP "TO SPARE FAMILY MEMBERS GRIEF"
On January 23, 2014, Henderson officials announced they have turned the dog over to the Lexus Project. City officials decided to give up the court fight "in an effort to spare family members the grief of reliving the tragic events of the dog attack that killed" 1-year-old Jeremiah Eskew-Shahan.
"As part of the court proceedings, family members would have been required to testify and relive the horrible details of that day," city spokesman Bud Cranor said in a statement. "We didn't want the family to have to endure that tragedy all over again."
Robin Mattasch, president and co-founder of the Lexus Project, confirmed the settlement, reports the Star Valley News.
Mattasch would not say where Onion went, but she said he will not go to the Colorado sanctuary to which the group originally sought to send him.
According to the city's statement, its agreement with the Lexus Project indemnifies the city of future liability for the dog, "which was picked up from the Henderson Animal Shelter well cared for and in good health."
"It also requires that the group transfer the dog out of state to a licensed dog-rescue facility and provides assurances that the animal will never be allowed to be adopted out or in an environment with children present.
"The city is also requiring the Lexus Project to pay for a memorial for Jeremiah Eskew-Shahan that will be placed in a city of Henderson park."
"The litigation for Onion has been dismissed, and he has been relocated permanently to a rescue," Robin Mattasch said. "And out of respect to the family of Jeremiah Eskew-Shahan, we will make no further comment on this subject. It's over."

Winter and snow can be more fun than you have ever imagined. We collected a few kooky ideas, in case you have somehow been trapped in a winter boredom.
1. Yellow snow. A friend of mine told me how, when she was little, she played a favorite game with her father. As soon as it snowed, they would go to the park with a plastic bottle, filled with yellow food coloring. They poured some of the liquid on the snow and waited for someone to pass by, in order to start eating the yellow snow.
2. Ride the slopes with a plastic bag, instead of a sledge. Don't be looking around like this idea is meant for someone else – it works for adults too. Throwing away your supermarket plastic bags is not eco-friendly, so use them for snow entertainment.
3. Jump in the snow, with nothing but your swimming suit on. It sounds terribly unwise, but it's what they do in Finland, after a sauna, and nobody has ever died yet. In fact, it makes you stronger. Just don't spend too much time lying around in the snow.
4. Make a snowman. Dress him up in clothes from the nearest carelessly unattended low-handing clothesline.
It has been snowing, like, forever.
I've got a pink adapter.
Alright, not everyone can be a poet.
6. Eat an icicle. Save a passerby.
7. Start shoveling snow for money. If they don't pay you enough, put the snow back.
8. Go ice skating. Instead of skates, bring rollerblades.
9. Pretend to be a Japanese tourist, in your own town. Visit the museums; take a picture of every street sign, bench and life-threatening icicle over the sidewalk. In a heavy accent, ask a stranger to take a picture of you in front of an old car.
10. Sit on the sidewalk and put your hat in front of you. On a piece of cardboard, write that the world financial crisis has brought this upon you, and you immediately need coins to buy ice-cream.

In response to criticism that Amazon doesn't pay its workers a livable wage, Jeff Bezos announced beginning November 1, 2018, all U.S. and U.K. Amazon employees will earn a $15 an hour minimum wage.[197] Amazon will also lobby to make $15 an hour the federal minimum wage.[198] At the same time, Amazon also eliminated stock awards and bonuses for hourly employees.[199]
Amazon, seeing the obvious opportunity here, reportedly outbid none other than Google to become Twitch's parent company three years later, with the AWS infrastructure a big part of why Twitch CEO Emmett Shear decided to take the deal. Now, four years later, Twitch has outlasted both YouTube and Facebook's attempts to snatch away its market share and, given the popularity of titles like Epic Games' Fortnite, has become an even more integral fixture of modern online life and youth culture. Amazon has more recently integrated Twitch into its Prime subscription, giving subscribers free games and complementary channel subscriptions.
That's a lot of people to compete with, but it can pay off. While smaller items like clothing, consumables, and books won't see that large of a price cut, Black Friday is still worth the pre-dawn alarm if you're after deals on big-ticket items. Think: Household appliances, grills, TVs, and other electronics. "Stores use the doorbusters to whip you into a bargain-shopping frenzy in hopes that you'll buy more than the advertised bargains," says Lisa Lee Freeman, co-host of the Hot Shopping Tips podcast. "The stores often barely break even or even lose money on doorbuster specials, but they make it back when shoppers stick around and buy other items that may not be such great deals."
Throughout the store there are features like "Most-Wished-For," a collection of products that are most added to Amazon.com Wish Lists; "Trending Around NYC," hot products that NYC-area customers are buying on Amazon.com; "Frequently Bought Together"; and "Amazon Exclusives." These features, along with customer review cards with quotes from actual customer reviews, make it fun and easy to shop.

YOG Education Programme Accessible to Youth Sports Event Organisers With a Single Click
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has made the educational content offered to young athletes during the Youth Olympic Games (YOG) available to the Olympic Movement.
Thursday, December 2, 2021 - 8:40am
NEWSROOM: International Olympic Committee
International Olympic Committee news
The "YOG Education Programme @ Youth Sporting Events" can now be freely accessed from the IOC website by International Federations (IFs), National Olympic Committees (NOCs) and organisers of sports events and championships. The toolkit is free and easy to download for these organisers, who can make use of the whole programme during sports events. The content has been designed specifically for elite young athletes between the ages of 15 and 18 who are eager to learn how to become champions on the field of play and in life.
According to the Olympic Charter, "Olympism is a philosophy of life (…) blending sport with culture and education." More than a century after the Charter was first published, education remains one of the fundamental pillars of Olympism and the YOG.
Since the YOG Singapore 2010, nearly 10,000 young athletes, plus local young people during the various Games editions, have had access to educational programmes delivered in parallel with the sports competitions.
"With this programme, all sports event organisers can now offer their young athletes a fun, educational and engaging programme that covers the most important topics for this age group: athlete safeguarding, improving performance, and assistance outside sport and with career transition," said Christophe Dubi, the IOC Olympic Games Executive Director. "This is precisely what makes the Youth Olympic Games so successful. The content is now accessible digitally and is easy to use on site."
A programme to coach, support and safeguard athletes
The content of the YOG Education Programme @ Youth Sporting Events has been put together under the leadership of the IOC. It contains three areas of focus: athlete protection, performance, and assisting athletes outside sport. The activities are self-explanatory and just need to be downloaded onto a computer or tablet by event organisers. The content is varied and can be tailored to all situations and formats. Athletes can watch videos, download apps with immersive scenarios, take quizzes, play computer games, access online learning platforms, learn about exercises to prevent injuries and even explore various opportunities for a smooth transition from competitive sport into the workplace.
The first section includes content created and produced by the IOC, the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the International Testing Agency (ITA). The "Play True" quiz teaches young athletes how to protect themselves. The Athlete365 videos raise awareness about the importance of athletes taking care of their mental health to be at their very best in sport. "Draw the Line" is another online activity that describes the various forms of harassment and abuse, and the "Believe in Sport" app lets users create their own avatars, placing them in 10 different scenarios involving varying cases of manipulation.
The second section is all about encouraging athletes to stay active, with a focus on fewer injuries, more sport and better performance. The "Get Set – Train Smarter" app offers a series of training exercises tailored to each sport on the Games programme.
The final section gives budding professional athletes education-, training- and career-related advice through tests and online resources developed by Athlete365.
Just a click away for event organisers
Designed for IFs, NOCs and event teams organising youth championships or games, this guide has been developed for them to successfully, easily and economically implement an educational programme before, during and after an event.
Ingmar De Vos, the President of the International Equestrian Federation (FEI), said: "I am delighted that young athletes from all over the world can now benefit from this educational programme, and I look forward to rolling it out in the equestrian world. We have a great responsibility to educate the next generation of athletes, to help them succeed on a sporting and human level, support them, and ensure their well-being."
The toolkit provides practical advice on how to run the activities – such as how to set up a designated area for them. It also contains recommendations for briefing the activity leaders on site, plus all the ingredients needed to stage a well-attended, successful event.
All the activities (resources and links) are free to download to the organisers' devices and are delivered on site.
All the educational content of the YOG Education Programme @ Youth Sporting Events can be accessed free of charge from the IOC website.
The International Olympic Committee is a not-for-profit, civil, non-governmental, international organisation made up of volunteers which is committed to building a better world through sport. It redistributes more than 90 per cent of its income to the wider sporting movement, which means that every day the equivalent of USD 3.4 million goes to help athletes and sports organisations at all levels around the world.

The globalization process continues to dismantle policies and regulations safeguarding the rights of people, their health, environment and livelihoods that are perceived by neoliberal pundits as "protectionism". Increase in prices has reduced the government's ability to sustain social welfare services, such as health, education and employment and shifting control of these services to privatizations. Life became more and more complex; it seems difficult to choose the right products and services in a sort span. Every human being is involved in their day to day routine works and having no time to deal with any third party causes arisen due to the legal complexity and get harassed. There are countless happenings in our routine life, while we need immediate attention and prior advice may refrain ourselves from pseudo acts.

Home Life Greece starts evacuation of 6,000 refugees from islands per EU deal
Greece starts evacuation of 6,000 refugees from islands per EU deal
… from Russia Today, Moscow
Merkel is responsible for most of the refugee chaos, sparking the great land rush to the EU
[ Editor's Note: My, my… how quickly the authorities can move when they want to. On the day after the Turkish-EU refugee agreement, the Turks miraculously shut down the Aegean Sea human smuggling operation at the flick of a switch, rounding up the 1700 who were getting ready to leave and taking them to reprocessing centers.
Today we have Greece saying they will have the 6000 island refugees in temporary camps cleared out in another day, with the first ferry load of 2500 on their way now. This all could have been handled this way earlier, but someone did not want that.
It all goes back to Merkel and her flamboyant attitude of throwing Germany open to a million plus refugees a year, and then dumping on the southern EU members to deal with the deluge, some of the poorest. She showed total absence of leadership, as did the EU, who supplied no added manpower for sea rescues, faster processing, or security people — everybody relying on the Tooth Fairy to take care of things.
It looked like dysfunctional government… until today, when we see once again that they do what they want to, when they want to. Refugees now will have to face changing over from fleeing the war, to fleeing the rebuilding that will be needed to see if that qualifies them for entry.
The EU benefits are like winning the lotto in Syria, if it had one. Merkel and the EU should be putting their $3 to $6 billion Euros into getting the Syrians out of Turkey. They could then start rebuilding their country via the reconstruction needed, all the jobs that would create, versus being in the lottery business of helping those with the cash to buy their way out, which is what has been happening.
I have mixed feelings about when refugee benefits are so high for leaving versus those in-country that people will risk their lives and their children's lives to get the refugee benefits… Jim W. Dean ]
– First published … March 20, 2016 –
Hopefully these days will be ending soon
Greece, with help from the EU, has started the evacuation of 6,000 asylum seekers from temporary camps on Greek islands, following the EU-Turkey repatriation agreement struck on Friday.
On Saturday, it was announced that the majority of people were set to be evacuated within 24 hours. The ferry with the first 2,500 refugees was due to leave on Sunday.
The EU has pledged to provide 2,300 security and legal experts, as well to help the evacuation, with the first ones arriving during the weekend, the Greek newspaper Kathmerini reported.
Plus, Germany and France promised to send to Greece 300 officials and "technical expertise" to assist the process, according to German news agency DPA citing a letter from German Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere and his French counterpart Bernard Cazeneuve to the European Commission.
"This is necessary in view of the current situation in Greece and is an important expression of European solidarity. We hope that many Member States will join our example," the two wrote in the letter.
Despite the move, refugees are confused about what to expect after the repatriation, Deutsche Welle reported. Also, not all of the asylum seekers were to board the ferries: newcomer refugees were to stay until their registration is confirmed.
For every Syrian refugee coming back to Turkey, the EU pledges to resettle one asylum seeker from Turkey, according to the deal between the EU and Turkey, agreed on Friday. The goal of the deal is to prevent the refugees from taking the dangerous route across the Aegean Sea: some 4,000 people have died there over the last few years.
The main stage of the repatriation process is set to begin on April 4, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said.
This comes on the backdrop of Greek authorities' statement that there are some 47,000 undocumented refugees in the country, and 21,000 of them came to Greece in March alone, according to the United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR)'s estimates.

Tina Turner 'What's Love Got To Do With It' show at Blackpool Opera House in July
Elesha Moses Paul recreates the great sounds of Tina Turner in 'What's Love Got to Do With It?'
Published: 16:36 Thursday 20 June 2019
Celebrate more than 50 years of one of the most iconic female solo artists of all time as singer Elesha Paul Moses takes to the stage as the legendary Tina Turner in What's Love Got To Do With It. in a new show at the Opera House in Black
The professional musical star, who has previously appeared on the X-Factor and The Voice, will arrive in Blackpool next month for one-night-only at the Opera House as part of the new show's UK tour.
The ultimate tribute show, which features timeless hit songs including Proud Mary, Private Dancer, What's Love Got To Do With It?,River Deep, Nutbush City Limits and Simply The Best is set to wow Tina Turner fans on Saturday July 20.
Brought to you by the award-winning producers behind the hugely successful Whitney - Queen Of The Night, What's Love Got To Do With It? is the ultimate tribute concert paying homage to one of the most iconic and much loved musical artists of the 20th Century.
Speaking about recreating the iconic female performer live on stage Elesha says: "Tina's not got a growl as such, it's just something which is there in her tone. It's really difficult to explain. People think it's shouting but it's not, it's a very particular tone that she has.
"When I started mimicking Tina, it was great to watch her and learn from the energy and fun she puts in, and her way of moving is so distinctive.
"She's so free with her performance, and carefree running around, kicking her legs up – it's so much fun to take that on, and it's an amazing quality not many artists have."
On her personal highlights from the show she adds: "Oh, there are so many I love. Proud Mary is obviously so much fun, but I also love Typical Male and I Can't Stand The Rain.
"But for my absolute favourite… I'll go Proud Mary. It always used to be Simply The Best which people really loved and went mad for – but these days it's definitely Proud Mary."
Elesha's vocal talents are supported on stage by a full 10-piece live band.
What's Love Got To Do With It? is brought to you by Cuffe & Taylor in association with Paul Roberts Productions

Robotham Michael
TimeWarner, London 2005
Here comes another Australian writer, who has made it to nr.1 on an American best seller list, put together by no other than Stephen King, and Robotham proudly presents this fact on his website, among other stunning details about his reading tour in northern Germany.
His critics are full of praise about this debut thriller, and I would have been so, too, before reading the rather overcooked showdown at the end.
Robotham introduces a very likeable, very humane protagonist, the 40ish Joe O`Loughlin, a very successful London psychologist, who is married to beautiful Julianne, has a sweet daughter, so everything in his life is just fine. Then he is diagnosed with Parkinson´s disease. He is thrown off balance and instead of going home to his wife he spends the night with a friend and former prostitute.
When the body of a Catherine McBride is found in a canal, detective Ruiz first asks Joe´s professional advice, then he becomes the prime suspect, because Ruiz finds out, that Catherine not only once was Joe´s patient, but phoned him the night she died. Joe is drawn deeper and deeper into the affair; another patient of his, young Bobby Moran, signals, that he knows more about Catherine´s death than he wants to confess to his therapist.
Julianne throws Joe out of the house, when she finds out he had been with a prostitute, his best friend Shock betrays him, and he has to hide from the police.
Although he struggles with his deteriorating health, he bravely sets out to find the real killer, which leads him to Liverpool and to a very dramatic, very thickly laid on finale. Simon Beckett has shown how to overdo exactly that, and I feel a bit sorry Robotham couldn´t just rely on his very convincing hero to find a convincing solution.


The February 2017 Popsugar Must Have box shipped early so that everyone would have it before Valentines Day. I thought that was pretty nice of them to do! On the other hand, I can't say that this was my favorite box ever. I don't know. It just seemed... empty? I adore Popsugar Must Have and have had very few flops in my almost four years of subscription so I'm not complaining super hard. Just observing.
Since I love Popsugar so much, I knew I would be snagging a six month subscription over the holidays. I did that for a great price and with the new ability to Upgrade subscriptions, I also added on a 3 month subscription using the great MSA coupon. I work pretty hard to make sure I don't have to actually pay full price for my boxes which was a lot easier when they always had $10 or $20 off coupons. They did away with those deals last year but even paying full price, I still enjoyed every box.
What You Get: You'll get an exciting monthly box full of fun, full-size products that are hand-selected by the Popsugar editors. Full-size products and premium items in beauty, fashion, home, fitness and food.
Tribe Alive Foldover Clutch- This is definitely an amazing item! It's high quality with good workmanship. It's probably going to last forever. I love the design and I like the black and ivory color scheme as well. It's fairly good sized, too. I can get a lot of stuff in there. I'm not sure how much I'll use it, though. I tend to prefer something with handles or a loop strap even on my clutches. We'll see. This is pretty nice, too nice for me to just want to give it away.
Battington Lashes Monroe 3D Silk- These are gorrrrgeous! It says you can use them up to 25 times. I'm TERRIBLE at putting on fake lashes. I've actually never managed to do it. I mean, I've tried. And tried. And tried. But I can never get them to stick in the right place and then I manage to make it so you can see the glue or something dumb. Currently I get lash extensions which are expensive but the results are so glorious I can't stop. I still keep these fake lashes, though. Hoping that one day I'll use them. Maybe for Halloween or something. I don't know how some people can put them on so perfectly! I feel like I've watched a million YouTube videos on how to do it and I still can't. Ugh. Lash glue is also included.
Kris Nations Jewelry Love Script Necklace- Didn't we get something like this before? Oh, haha, yes, but it was Sept 2015. I'm not a big fan of words or hearts in my jewelry. I know some people LOVE hearts (obviously, or they wouldn't be so popular) but I have never liked hearts on anything, now that I think about it. Not in my art, not in my pillows, nothing. You will never find wooden blocks saying Love or Laugh or Live in my house. Haha! I'm not even sure why I don't like them. Must just not be my style.
Revlon Super Lustrous Love is On Lipstick- This is a bonus product and yes, it's a red lipstick. At first I was groaning about "another red lipstick" but then I opened it. It is a glorious shade of red. It's on the blue spectrum and it tends toward almost fuschia. I mean, it's definitely red but it's more pinky with not even a hint of orange. Yeah, I love it. And I normally hate red lipstick. Mainly because if it's orangy or coral it makes my teeth look yellow. So if you're a Winter, try this.
VERDICT: Okay, so this box has an excellent retail value of over $200 but I still am pretty "meh" about it. I like the clutch (and the lipstick) and that's about it. I think I expected a little more foof for a February box. I mean, it's still an excellent deal for me since what I don't like can be gifted or swapped but still. Is it just me or did anyone else feel a little bit let down when they opened the box?
If you'd like to sign up for Popsugar Must Have, you can do that here. You'll start with the March 2017 box. Use code REFER5 for $5 off your first box.
I was kind of blah over the purse just because like you I never know what to do with a clutch. I need to have a string or something since I do tend to have sticky hands, lol. I actually adore the necklace although I have never worn one with any words on it before. The size is perfect, very dainty. I think it was a good box but there was no real wow factor but I will actually use everything in the box even try my first fake eyelashes. I was going to give the lipstick away but thanks to your review, I'll try it. Great review!
Maybe that's what it is. There's no "wow" factor. I wish you the very best of luck and hand steadiness with the eyelashes! You've got to be better than me at it! Haha!
I've been a PopSugar subscriber from the beginning. They really delivered month after month but something seems to have happened in the past two months. The January and February boxes were completely uninspired with products we've seen before and sloppy packaging (small items rattling around in too big boxes). I've read that the subscription business model is suffering and I think PopSugar is showing signs of stress.

7 inch singles were instrumental to the development of the Jamaican music industry, more affordable than full lengths for the consumer, they also allowed the labels to turnaround what was being recorded into music played from their booming sound systems as quickly as possible. In that spirit, Get On Down will be reissuing some of the most crucial reggae and ska sides on 45. This time out we revisit a single Lee Perry first issued right after his fabled Black Ark Studio was first up and running. On the A-Side you know you've got something special when a cut kicks off with Lee Perry growling like a lion, "borrowing" heavily from Al Green's "Love And Happiness" for "Jungle Lion." On the B-Side Perry lets The Upsetters do the roaring with the cut being remixed into "Freak Out Skank." First issued in 1973 on Perry's own Justice League imprint with a UK issue following almost immediately, miss this and you'll miss one of the most crucial developments in the sonic evolution of Scratch's 1970s output.

The old marble flooring was replaced by a light brown parquet for a warmer ambiance. The bathroom was completely renovated with light tonalities as well.

Why Judaism?
Peoples who live on the edge, living between two very different types of society, are among the most interesting and the most fruitful subjects of study for the historian. Sometimes these are people living in 'dark ages' when a long established system is breaking down and new ideas are being introduced, which will soon blossom forth into a new civilisation. But there are also peoples who live geographically on the edge, in boundary zones between two different centres and who are thus pulled in two different directions.
The two great Jewish Kingdoms in the 8th century BC, Israel and Judah, situated between the Philistines and the Phoenicians to the west and the desert kingdoms to the east.
A good example of this are the Jews. They lived in a border zone between the fertile fringes of the Mediterranean occupied by the Philistines and the Phoenicians, and the desert territory to the east, across the River Jordan occupied only by a few hardy herdsmen. They also lived in another border zone, between the great civilisations of Egypt to the south and Mesopotamia to the north and east. In such border zones strange religions often flourish, drawing their strengths from the clash of different ideals and seeking in their mysteries to resolve these differences. And it was in such a border zone that the Jewish religion, one of the world's greatest religions was born. And in turn, Judaism also gave birth to two even greater religions: that of Christianity and Islam.
Their greatest innovation was monotheism, the concept that there was just one god, and that god was their god and that they were therefore the 'chosen people'. It is hard for us today to appreciate the novelty of this belief, for we have been brainwashed through many generations into believing that monotheism is not just a superior form of religion, but also the obviously correct and original religion, and that the worship of more than one god is something that is not only perverted but somehow unnatural.
Yet religion to a considerable extent reflects political structures. In a basic tribal society, it is perhaps inevitable that each tribe, or each village should have its own god who looks after the village. When the villagers or the tribes begin to come together to form chiefdoms or towns, they bring their gods with them. The gods are in origin local, but soon get linked, with several gods being joined into one, or one god acquiring several characteristics. Most successful empires have a variety of gods as this enables the rulers to bind together a number of different tribes with their local gods.
It is perhaps difficult for us to realise that polytheism is the norm among great empires, and monotheism should really be regarded as the exception among religions. Monotheism tends to arise with an attempt to centralise, to have one supreme ruler matched by one supreme god. In Egypt, when the Pharaoh Akhenaten tried to rationalise the political situation and to move to a new centre at Amarna, he also promoted the worship of a single god, Aten. Buddhism is an attempt to bring together the variety of Hindu gods, and similarly in the Roman world, when Constantine wished to concentrate power, he promoted Christianity and the worship of a single god.
Let us therefore consider the history of the Jews, and how they came together to form the religion that spawned both Christianity and Islam.
On to: The History of the Jews
Note on the header. This is, of course, the Dome of the Rock, which is a Moslem shrine. However it overlies the site of the Jewish temple, and is thus also the most sacred site for both Jews and Christians. It is therefore not entirely irrelevant; in any case, it is difficult to find any aesthetically pleasing photo of any site in Jerusalem; this is the one site that is, from the aesthetic point of view, really top notch.

Recruiters at Robert Walters want Irish emigrants who have gained experience in financial services.
A DUBLIN-BASED recruitment firm is hoping to lure Irish emigrants back home by holding a number of job fairs in Australia for positions in the Irish financial sector.
Recruiters at Robert Walters are to send consultants to Melbourne and Sydney in the coming months to find Irish graduates who have gained experience in financial accounting, general accounting, audit, funds and insurance while on working visas.
We have spoken to a huge number of our clients, who have told us to tell emigrants with experience 'please tell them we're recruiting'. So we want to give them the message that the market has picked up in certain areas.
Campbell says that the company already has a large number of Irish on their books in Australia and has not only placed them in positions over there but has already found jobs for a number back in Ireland.
We're hoping to meet between 300 – 400. Over 200 have already confirmed they're attending and we'd be hoping to place the vast majority.
Campbell said they are specifically requesting Irish graduates because most of the positions are permanent but that Australian graduates looking to come to Ireland on a working visa should also attend as a number companies are hiring on a contract basis.
The job fairs will take the form of interviews during the day followed by a drinks reception in the evening. The first event will take place in Melbourne on 26 August with Sydney following suit on 2 September.
Those interested should visit http://www.robertwalters.ie/ for details on how to get in touch.

Iran's President Rouhani felicitates Muslim leaders on Eid al-Adha
Iran's President Hassan Rouhani has, in separate messages, extended his felicitations to leaders of Muslim countries on Eid al-Adha (the Feast of Sacrifice), which marks the culmination of the annual Hajj pilgrimage.
In his congratulatory messages on Tuesday, Rouhani described the occasion as "the season of slaughtering worldly belongings, giving up desires in the way of the true beloved, and manifesting pure faith in and obedience before God."
He expressed hope that thanks to the blessing of Eid al-Adha, all Muslims around the world would be able to achieve divine perfection and mercy by freeing themselves of the desires of the heart and sacrificing their lives and property to help other Muslims and fellow human beings in need.
Rouhani also wished health and success for the Muslim leaders as well as happiness and pride for their people.
Muslims traditionally celebrate Eid al-Adha, one of the most important religious festivities, with the sacrifice of animals such as sheep, rams, goats and cattle.
The act commemorates Prophet Abraham's submission to divine order to sacrifice his son, Ismail. Just before sacrificing his son, God provided Prophet Abraham with a ram to sacrifice instead, after he successfully passed the divine test.
Also on Tuesday, Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif took to Twitter to congratulate all Muslims on the feast, praying for a world without terrorism.
Congratulating all Muslims on the auspicious occasion, Zarif pointed to this year's Hajj being performed on a minor scale due to the pandemic, and prayed to God to rid the world of not just corona but also other viruses, which he described as "arrogance, coercion, terrorism—including economic and medical terrorism."
Felicitations to all Muslims on auspicious occasion of #EidAlAdha
As far fewer perform Hajj because of pandemic, let's pray to the Almighty to rid the world of not just corona but also other viruses: arrogance, coercion, terrorism—incl #EconomicTerrorism & #MedicalTerrorism.
— Javad Zarif (@JZarif) July 20, 2021
Iranians were expected to attend Eid al-Adha prayers in mosques across the country. This year's eid prayers were to be held with strict adherence to physical distancing and other safety protocols to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

across to me and others as intellectual snobbery. Period. Many "scientists"
the absurdity in this game?!!
>line between science (reality) and popular culture (fantasy).
killed off by the pop culture media. Beware of DOGMA!!
>uptight, and now we can add juvenile and stupid to list as well.
that I think you or anyone *is* a "chowderhead" or "stupid" or "juvenile".
I mean that in my opinion someone is *displaying* attributes of "stupidity"
these views as a personal attack.
Please let's not let science become anymore dogmatic than it already is.
The world does not need another religion.
Getting all uptight over this issue just seems pointless and a waste of time.

Q: Java - How to write a method that scans from text file I need to be able to have a method scan a line from a file and store this, so that in the driver class the method can be called to store the next line of the file, and then the  toString() method of the class can be used to print out the what was scanned. How would I do this?

A: Read a text file using java.util.Scanner
File file = new File("file.txt");

try {

    Scanner sc = new Scanner(file);

    while (sc.hasNextLine()) {
        int i = sc.nextInt();
        System.out.println(i);
    }
    sc.close();
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
}
}

A: I assume that you mean a normal .txt file so have a look at this previous answer here

Already named an Essential New Tune by Pete Tong, we are expecting big things for this track. "Need In Me" is a nice change from more intense anthemic house and is the perfect chill daytime track. Look to be hearing this a lot during the next few months.

Audrey Braccini Winemaker
As the first domaine to begin bottling on the estate, and with its long-standing focus on vinifying each parcel separately, Domaine Ferret has played a key role in defining the quality of the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation.
Domaine Ferret
from: France
Domaine Ferret has long been a producer of top Pouilly-Fuissé cuvées.
The first domaine after World War II in Pouilly-Fuissé to move from bulk wine production to bottling on the estate, for greater control of quality
Vinifies each vineyard parcel separately, to highlight individual terroirs
Owns 42.5 acres of vineyards on the appellation's best sites
Farms its vineyards sustainably
Situated in the heart of Fuissé, Domaine Ferret has long been a producer of top Pouilly-Fuissé cuvées. The estate was managed by the Ferret family from its founding in 1840 until it was purchased by Louis Jadot in 2008.
Domaine Ferret's is one of the oldest estates in Fuissé.
A Pouilly-Fuissé Pioneer
Domaine Ferret has played a key role in defining the quality of the region. It was the first domaine in Pouilly-Fuissé to begin bottling on the estate, shortly after the Second World War. Further, its long-standing focus on vinifying each parcel of vines separately has allowed for the identification of the top terroirs. The Domaine Ferret portfolio falls into three tiers: Classic, Têtes de Cru and Cuvée Hors-Classe. The Tête de Cru and Hors-Classe parcels that have been identified are a precursor to the stratification of the appellation system (which is currently under consideration by the Institut National des Appellations d'Origine). As in the Côte d'Or, the wines in each range reflect their particular terroir, and these top cuvées are produced only in great vintages.
Prime Vineyard Siting
Domaine Ferret's estate vineyards are comprised of 18 hectares throughout the Pouilly-Fuissé appellation; 14 of these are located in the amphitheater of hills surrounding the town of Fuissé and 4 are near the Roche de Vergisson, in the north of the appellation. These terroirs and the relatively low yields, allow the production of exceptional cuvées. The vineyards are managed sustainably with an aim toward an even more rigorous respect for environmental concerns.
