7 Voice-Activated Apps Waiting for Your Command
These seven apps prove that if you speak up, you get exactly what you ask for.

Not everybody listens when you speak. Which may be one of the reasons why the Amazon Echo is so popular. The voice-controlled sphere can take your music requests, read you the news, adjust the lights, and jot down your thoughts. It's like having your own personal butler named Alexa.
But you don't have to spend $180 for voice-activated services; plenty of apps will do the job for far less. Beyond the personal assistants built into smartphones—Siri on iOS, Google Now on Android, and Cortana on Windows—there are a number of apps that respond to your voice. More than just a gimmick, it's a helpful, hands-free way to get things done. Whether you want to avoid distraction or are unable to manipulate a touch screen, a voice assistant can be your best friend.
Some of the tasks voice-guided apps tackle are really specific (like ordering a pizza), but some can really save you, whether you're taking a photo or going for a run. These seven examples show that sometimes if you speak up, you get exactly what you ask for.
1. PromptSmart
Whether you're in front of a crowd or a camera, teleprompters can easily trip you up. Instead of trying to keep up, use PromptSmart, which follows your voice. You can upload .docx and .txt files and choose the font, size, and color of text. You can mirror your text, so you can use PromptSmart with teleprompter glass, and you don't need an Internet connection when the time comes to speak.
2. RunGo
If you don't have a running companion, you do now. RunGo lets you map out your run and then gives you voice navigation along the way, while letting you listen to music and take calls. There are also pre-planned routes for New York, San Francisco, Washington D.C., Seattle, Toronto, Vancouver, London, and Sydney, which are available offline. RunGo also keeps track of time, distance, pace, and calories burned on your run.
3. Selfie Assistant
The camera on the back of your phone has far better resolution than the one on the front of your phone. Which is why your selfies can sometimes leave a little something to be desired. Selfie Assistant helps you take better shots with your phone's rear camera by talking you through a photo and letting you know how many people are in the shot when you can't see the screen. Android users can download a similar app.
4. SideChef
Smartphones and tablets are great for finding recipes but not necessarily following them. They turn off when your prep steps are taking too long and navigating through them can become a bit of a sticky situation when you're handling ingredients. SideChef is the sous chef solution. It speaks each step and then listens for your "next" before moving on. The recipes come from chefs, bloggers, and other SideChef users and are all rated.
5. Domino's
Seamless has gotten you used to ordering food without talking to a single person. But what if you wanted to take that one step further and didn't even want to type in your pizza order? Domino's will have you living the dream. The app's voice assistant Dom lets you dictate and place your order.
6. iTranslate
You don't have to speak the language to visit a foreign destination but it helps. If your fears of getting lost or accidentally ordering a dish you hate have you sitting at home, pack your bags. iTranslate translates conversations in real time for over 90 languages.
7. Comcast XFinity X1 Remote
A remote control means you never have to get up to change the channel. Controlling your TV with your phone means you (almost never) have to search for a lost remote. And having Comcast means you don't even have to push a button. The Xfinity X1 Remote app really listens to you. Ask if your favorite show is on, whether there are any funny movies available on demand, or if your team is playing.

Коррадо III Тринчи (Corrado III Trinci) (ум. 14 июня 1441) — итальянский кондотьер, последний сеньор Фолиньо (1421—1439).

Сын Уголино Тринчи. После смерти отца стал сеньором Фолиньо вместе с братьями — Никколо и Бартоломео.

В 1421 году кастелян (управляющий) Ночеры Умбра Пьетро ди Разилья заподозрил Никколо Тринчи в любовной связи со своей женой. Он пригласил братьев Тринчи на охоту и убил двоих, но опоздавший Коррадо остался жив. Он с помощью Браччо да Монтоне (друга своего отца) штурмом взял Ночеру, при этом кастелян выбросился из окна башни и погиб. Таким образом Коррадо стал единоличным правителем Фолиньо.

Он несколько раз воевал с папой Мартином V и его кондотьером Франческо Сфорца, в результате потерял Монтефалько, Ночеру и Треви (который получил от папы в 1421 году во временное владение).

Сменивший Мартина V Евгений IV сначала подтвердил за Коррадо III титул папского викария и признал его власть над городом Монтефалько (помимо других владений). Но в 1439 году в результате многочисленных жалоб жителей Фолиньо папа послал против него войско во главе с кардиналом Джованни Мария Вителлески. После нескольких недель осады горожане тайком открыли ворота.

Коррадо III пытался бежать, но был схвачен. Он содержался в Сполето, затем в замке Сориано, где 14 июня 1441 года был задушен вместе с сыновьями Уголино и Никколо. Фолиньо перешёл во владение папы.

Young Mike Wazowski, who is dreaming of becoming a scarer when he grows up, goes on a tour around Monsters, Inc. during a school field trip. In order to be hired to the factory, he has to attend college first, so 11 years later, Mike is enrolled to Monsters University, where he meets James P. Sullivan. During every semester, Sulley only relies on his natural ability, and one day, during the final exam, Dean Hardscrabble fails him and Mike after breaking open a Scream Can. But in order to save themselves from the consequences they were about to face, they enter the Scare Games, to prove that Mike is scary enough. He and Sulley are in team Oozma Kappa, while their rival team is Roar Omega Roar. In every one of the first four challenges, all of the other teams besides Oozma Kappa and Roar Omega Roar are eliminated, and in the last challenge, Oozma Kappa wins a close victory -- only because Sulley cheated by lowering Mike's level way down low, which proves that Mike is not very scary after all. Still determined, Mike breaks into the door lab and through a door to the human world, and is unable to scare any children inside a summer camp cabin. Sulley comes to rescue him, and after he does so, he and Mike are expelled, while the other members of Oozma Kappa are in the scare program. Luckily, the two were the first to surprise her, and she wishes them luck. Sulley and Mike are hired to the mailroom, and working their way up, they are now part of the Scarer Team.

The concept of wellness is now percolating in the minds of government officials, who are attempting to finance adequate health care. How can we manage in the face of limited funds and rising health care costs? Keeping well is one solution. Hence the concept of "wellness." How can wellness be sustained or even restored? Are there ways for citizens to shoulder more responsibility for their own health?
Approximately 50,000 Albertans are already taking their physical, mental and spiritual wellness into their own hands by participating in yoga classes. The way was paved in the late 1960s by pioneers who were willing to experiment with new ideas brought here from India, Germany, Australia and elsewhere.
But let's go back in time to the heady days of the sixties—Beatlemania and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi—when the world frothed with new music and new ideas. In the first recorded account of yoga in this province, Gerda Krebs describes 1960s Alberta as "a yoga wasteland." But Krebs, who later taught yoga on cable television for 20 years, was never to forget her first class with Friedel Khattab. She was seduced into a lifelong commitment. Others too had felt the calm, the joy and the ecstasy, and they naturally reached out to one another.
This band of "yoga pioneers" shuttled between Calgary and Edmonton, and later Red Deer, to meet and exchange knowledge. Time, distance and slippery winter roads didn't deter them. Small as the community was (fewer than 20 people), they had the homesteader determination to establish yoga in Alberta. "It would be cruel not to let the Western world know about the benefits," they agreed.
In 1966, Dr. Mohan Singh, then a professor of exercise physiology in the University of Alberta's faculty of physical education, began to share his ideas, introducing two full-credit courses. Amazingly, enrolment was three times the expected number. At the same time, a graduate student of his, Hubert Dhanaraj, was researching the physiological effects of yoga. Then, in 1968, Friedel Khattab in Edmonton and Hilda Pezarro in Calgary began teaching yoga to the public.
Albertans began to open up to Eastern philosophical ideas. However, negative perceptions still abounded. Some people saw yoga as a mind-control technique and therefore a cult. Krebs was once refused permission to teach a class in a church basement. It was high time to establish yoga's credibility.
Albertans began to open up to Eastern philosophical ideas. However, negative perceptions still abounded.
that yoga is a positive, healthy activity. The following year, Alberta Culture, Youth and Recreation gave yoga its blessing as a fitness activity, with financial support for clinics and workshops.
With the government and the University of Alberta recognizing its benefits, yoga now had some credibility, and in 1974 the Yoga Association of Alberta (YAA) was born. The officers were Mohan Singh (president), K.D. Prithipaul (vice-president), E. E. Bako (vice-president), Dorothy Havrelock (secretary) and Hubert Dhanaraj (advisor).
Because some instructors were distinctly under-qualified—teaching after having read just one book—the first step was to establish a training program for teachers and to set certification standards. International and national teachers were invited to workshops that were open to all.
The YAA Hatha Yoga teacher training program requires a two-year involvement with yoga prior to registration. Within two years after registration, the student teacher must complete a required number of hours with a senior teacher. Studies include yoga philosophy and related psychology, anatomy and physiology, yoga techniques and their therapeutic applications, and teaching practicums.
"Right from the beginning it was decided that teachers in the YAA would reflect many different yoga traditions. This was wise, as I see how dynamic and creative the association has become and how it has expanded," wrote Pezarro in the 20th anniversary issue of the newsletter Yoga Bridge in 1996.
In the early days when the pioneers were asked what type of yoga they did, they simply said, "classical" or "traditional." These terms have been used interchangeably to refer to the philosophy and practices systematized around 200 BCE into a classic text by the ancient sage Patanjali. However, traditional yoga more accurately refers to the practices before Patanjali's work, and classical yoga to everything that evolved from his yoga sutras.
If the same question is asked today, answers vary from Iyengar, Astanga, gentle, Hatha or Raja to "I don't know." The practitioners themselves may or may not understand what these classifications mean, but they are derived from the 5,000-year-old science of life.
Each of the Hatha Yoga styles offers opportunities for workouts, for gentle exercise, for psychotherapy, or for restorative physiotherapy.
patterns. A systematic body of knowledge about the human condition materialized, as did techniques for liberating ourselves from that conditioning and for moving toward self-realization.
Different forms of yoga, depending on which core practices were emphasized, grew from the central philosophy of liberation. They can focus on the study of spiritual texts (Jnana yoga), selfless-action (Karma yoga), loving devotion to a power greater than self (Bhakti yoga), meditation (Raja yoga) and physical training (Hatha yoga), to name but a few.
Hatha yoga is the most popular form in the West. Its focus on asanas (postures) and pranayama (breath work) is an entry point for the doers and achievers of western culture. The benefits include relaxed muscles, reduced pain, deeper breathing and more energy. These physical improvements are felt almost immediately, which captures the interest of participants who are wired for instant results.
Many streams of Hatha yoga have formed. For example, two yogis who were both pupils of T. Krishna-macharya cultivated popular disciplines. Iyengar style, founded by B.K.S. Iyengar, focuses on body alignment and precision of poses, which are facilitated by blocks and straps. The Astanga style, founded by Pattabhi Jois, focuses on movement through a series of connected, complementary poses. It uses particular breathing techniques and perineal and abdominal locks.
Each of the hatha yoga styles meets different needs, making yoga accessible to people of varying abilities and interests. They offer opportunities for workouts, for gentle exercise, for psychotherapy, or for restorative physio- therapy. Some instructors integrate methods from a variety of teachings. Classes or private sessions can meet the needs of competitive and recreational athletes, senior citizens, the injured, the ill, the mentally challenged, the stressed and the curious. Often, however, classes are com- posed of students with an array of interests and needs merely because the time fits their schedules.
Instructors frequently hear remarks like, "I have been using yoga to manage my chronic back condition," or, "My knees have stopped aching because I have learned how to align them over my feet." Such comments reflect the beneficial effects which regular yoga sessions can have on the musculo-skeletal system. This ability to effect change—be it physical, emotional or spiritual— gives individuals a sense of harnessing the body's forces.
Through yoga, people are able to manage their chronic injuries better. Those with fibromyalgia can release tightness in their tissues and increase their energy. People with multiple sclerosis find some relief from the turmoil in their bodies. Pre- and post-natal women develop strength and steadfastness during the intense experiences of pregnancy and childbirth.
The effects of yoga are gradual and subtle, but they can redirect the downward spiral of being a victim into the upward spiral of taking an active role in improving one's health. This shift can feel like being unplugged from a high-voltage electric current the sources of which are the external demands of work, school and relationships—all those goals, deadlines, expectations and attitudes we place on ourselves. As yoga techniques kick in, the voltage decreases, enabling us to enter a more relaxed state.
Physicians, physical therapists, nurses, chiropractors, acupuncturists, massage therapists and psychologists are all recommending yoga to patients and clients. People take classes in rehabilitation centres, hospitals, public schools, post-secondary educational institutions, senior citizen centres, fitness centres, offices, community halls and church basements. Yoga in Alberta is no longer eyed with suspicion. It is now an accepted way to enhance wellness.
Marcia Langenberg is an Edmonton yoga instructor and president of the Yoga Association of Alberta.


What a start, with the entrance to the car park blocked off and then when the temporary entrance was found due to building work many parking spaces were missing and most of the others were in use.
Despite this we saw the biggest involvement in the gala since the District was formed with 29 Beavers, 7 Cub packs and 8 Scout Troops. It meant that we had to run heats for all the races and with me increasing the number of events for Cubs, bringing them to the same level as the Scouts, we ran out of time to carry out a presentation. I was under strict rules from the pool booking officer that we had to be clear the pool by 9.30. I am in the process of visiting Packs and Troops to hand out the medals, certificates and Trophies.
May I thank all the officials, helpers and the adult support team for all the assistance on the night.


An ideal Christmas present for all ages!
When directed to your/mermaids Paypal page, there is no option for adding any extra shipping to Spain.
It accepted my order with no problems, but don't you need more for non UK shipping?
Paypal is a rather cheap and cheerful (I hope) shopping cart.
To make things very simple I've kept shipping the same for everywhere. It averages out in the end as postage not that different these days. I (or rather the charities) make a few extra p on some and lose a few on others.
I just bought a CD, or rather I ended up buying 3, unfortunatley the page seemed to go crazy and I have been billed for 3 seperate CDs is there any way you could refund for 2 of them.
Don't you just love paypal?
I, on the other hand, would like to purchase 2, yet I seem to only be able to order one at a time?
Well done for all the hard work Pete. As if making a living, trekking Peru and having a family isn't enough. Still, you know what they say; 'if you want something doing, ask a busy man'.
I think that is fixed now. You should be able to now order several and combined with the Saxophone Instruction DVD also.
If you already ordered 2 I'll refund the difference in postage you would have paid.
I borrowed an old junker with no pads that was going to be fixed up anyway.
Come on Pete, don't be so modest, it was a custom gold plated MKVI to prevent corrosion, with silicon coated pads, played with a synthetic reed, - the live video recording had to be made underwater in a specially made tank at Shepherdspie Studios in order to get that sleazy stripper sax sound which is why it sounds like a bari because the sound waves travel more slowly underwater - wasn't it?
Actually it was filmed at the Sealife Centre Weymouth, but the black & white footage was shot at Shepperton Studios.
Pete - received it really quickly, thanks.
It is fantastic - congratulations Love the video and all the tracks are amazing.
Guess what my friends are getting for Christmas?
I absolutley love it, really demonstrates just how versatile the saxophone, and clarinet etc, can be in the right hands, congratulations.
1 - When is the next one being released.
2 - Is the Grafton on the rear cover yours.
Just bought a copy, and fyi after the purchase, paypal redirects you to Mermaid Records, which is supposed to be a page on your site, but a message comes up "Page Not Found".
Really looking forward to getting my hands on the CD.
Thanks I'll look into that, Paypal huh.
Also received my copy this morning. Listening to it for the 2nd time now and enjoying it immensely.
Given that most of the tracks were written for film or TV, they all work fine as pieces of music in their own right, and the album flows really well. That's often not the case with similar projects or, say, instrumental soundtrack albums.
Only downside is that I keep finding myself thinking "Damn, I'll never be able to play the sax like that!" lol.
As I'm principally a guitarist I have to say also that I love Chris Pearce's blues guitar licks on Voodoo Chill. Lovely playing.
Is the Grafton on the cover a nod to your Ornette roots, Pete?
A hint of Harlem Nocturne in Naked City too? Nice.
Yes, Chris is great. (That's him in the video too balancing on a slippery wreck on the Itchen estuary). My first alto was a Grafton, not because of ornette, but more by coincidence so i recently looked for and found one in top condition, and yes, naked City is unashamedly influenced by Mr Hagen.
I usually find advert music very frustrating as the one's you like never seem to be allowed to develop to their full potential/finale,obviously difficult given the tight timing, so I find it both satisfying and very enjoyable to be able to hear, prehaps, what the composer was intending a piece becoming given the chance. And as already stated above all the tracks stand as fine pieces of music, both composing and playing in their own right, definitley one that will get many repeat plays.
Pete - any chance of a sound sample of you on the Grafton, or maybe something on the next album.
Got mine today- really really great with nice surprises.
In fact my 8 year old son is listening to it right now to go to sleep to and enjoying it alot (not because it's boring rather because he likes jazzy/bluesy sort of stuff as it calms him down at night- he has some strange ideas but that comes from a combination of him being my son and also because he has mild Asperger's...).
Did you put the stamps on yourself Pete as it came super-quick?
First thing - top customer service. I ordered my copy Thursday night and it arrived first thing this morning (Saturday).
Also, I had decided that if I could ever play something on the tenor half as well as "Letters from Paris" I'd retire and not bother anymore.
Listened again tonight and it just gets better. Many congratulations.
The wedding do will feature lots of Mr Lucky!!
I have a large staff of little workers put the stamps on, whistling a merry tune all the while.
Many thanks, I'm more than a little touched.

Q: Phrases using the Arabic particle "al" as a separate word apart from "Al Qaeda" and "Al Jazeera" Many words incorporated into English a long time ago have the Arabic particle "al" incorporated into them. For example, "algebra" and "alcohol".
But does English have commonly used phrases with the Arabic particle "al" as a separate word apart from "Al Qaeda" and "Al Jazeera"? I can think of "El Alamein" (why is it "El"?) and Al-Shabaab, but nothing else.
I tried looking for Wiktionary's entry on "al" to see if there's a list of compounds formed from it, but the only info it had was under the non-Latin version ال and therefore doesn't have a list of English phrases using it.

A: Al is the definite article in Arabic language. In our Egyptian colloquial dialect, we tend to pronounce it as El. I do not know about other dialects.  So Al is the standerd Arabic and El is the daily language.

A: There are phrases like al fresco and al dente, but of course those are Italian not Arabic; what exactly is your interest?

The Ugly Hockey Sweater: Asians Suffering From Microaggressions?
Kids at that age are asexual and she won't want her friends to find out she likes him. So she'll take it all out on George Zimmerman.
Who's white when he kills a black guy but who could also be someone's POC ally at college.
Nobody will think that he's gay by high school.
And then when we unlearn racism by Holocaust Zimmerman could ride a high because of the time Adolf Hitler wanted to take over the entire world and gas everyone and create a race of 7-foot tall blue eyed blond super soldiers.
If women weren't such over-privileged racist airheads in the first place it would have been hard for educators to work with their friends in Hollywood to give the impression that when you flood the country with people from racist, homophobic shitholes vibrancy happens and it becomes OK to be gay.


Bosnia does not have lyrics to its national anthem. Serbia's president doesn't think Europe's largest genocide since the Holocaust happened. And Albania wants to celebrate its centennial with criminals. It's been a hell of a month for bad policy in the Balkans.
When starting a country, your starter kit usually comes with a founding document, a flag, and a national anthem. I suppose two out of three isn't bad, but after 17 years, Bosnia still does not have a national anthem. The absence of these lyrics is at the fore this month, because last week the European Union's report on Bosnia's progress all but called it a failed state.
The Dayton Accords, which ended the Bosnia War and gave birth to a republic, created a rotating presidency and a number of other safeguards to make sure that public institutions in Bosnia were inclusive to the Serb, Croat, and Bosniak communities. These safeguards have functionally ground Bosnia to a halt. Last year, Bosnia was famously kicked out of FIFA because their three-person presidency did not comply with FIFA regulation, nor did it work. To show how low of a bar this is, FIFA has allowed North Korea, Saddam Hussein's Iraq, and the awful 2010 British National team to play in sanctioned tournaments.
The problem with FIFA last year is indicative of the country on the whole. The creation of Bosnia by the West—namely the U.S.—has hogged tied the country's governing systems. Within this mild anarchy, those with power and money hope Bosnia remains in gridlock, because they are able to operate with impunity. This will only perpetuate a broken system.
Just last week, the inability to come to terms on a spending bill closed the Bosnia National History Museum after 124 years of operation. That means that this museum made it through Hapsburg control, two Balkan Wars, two World Wars, Communism, the dissolution of Yugoslavia, and a war that bared Bosnia's name. However, they couldn't keep the doors open in a time of peace and self-governance because of the absence of a will to even come to the table.
The next time you roll your eyes at another continuing budget resolution from Congress, just remember: we at least agree on the lyrics to sing at a ball game.
Last week, Serbia's new President, Tomislav Nikolić, stood his ground as a Srebrenica Truther.
Nikolić said that the 8,000+ Bosniaks (Muslim Bosnians) that were slaughtered at the hands of Bosnian-Serb troops at Srebrenica during 11 days in July of 1995 did not constitute an act of genocide.
In 2004, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), located in The Hague, ruled in Prosecutor v. Kristič that what occurred in Srebrenica, as a matter of law, was nothing other than genocide. That holding was later reiterated in a separate case in 2007 at the International Court of Justice. Reality and the international community have been clear: the Bosnian-Serbs acted with genocidal intent in Srebrenica.
The timing of this comment is not just idiotic, but like everything in the Balkans, it is also political. This week was the start the ICTY trial against Bosnian-Serb leader Radovan Karadžić for, amongst other charges, genocide at Srebrenica.
Nikolić contends it was happenstance that Bosnian-Serbs were the perpetrators, but it wasn't a genocide. Karadžić goes farther and says it didn't happen as history remembers it. A quick history lesson would teach us a. that Serbia had essentially a "Final Solution" for the Bosniaks in Bosnia, and b. that Srebrenica wasn't the only place this happened, showing a pattern. While the Serbs themselves, including the President, maintain that clear lines existed between the Bosnian-Serbs and the Serbs of Serbia; this is nothing else but a willful denial of the facts. Richard Holbrooke, America's negotiator during the Bosnian War, wrote about his experiences with Slobodan Milosevic, Serbia's president during the wars in Bosnia and Kosovo. He noted on a number of occasions when the Bosnian Serb leaders like Ratko Mladić (also on trial at the Hague) and Radovan Karadžić were incommunicado, that a stern talking to Milosevic would turn up a Bosnian-Serb leader or a temporary cease fire. At a minimum, there was a working relationship between Milosevic in Serbia and the Bosnian Serbs; at worst, Milosevic aided and abetted some of the worst human rights abuses of the late 20th century. Either way, Serbia's leadership was out right complicit in these atrocities.
Nikolić can't claim ignorance to this period of Serb history, because during that time he was the press secretary to President Slobodan Milosevic.
In a region still healing from Europe's worst wars since 1945, comments like those of President Nikolić and Karadžić devalue the human life lost at places like Srebrenica. It also creates a dangerous delusion and lack of responsibility amongst Serbs back home. The Bosniaks, to this day, will point out that the Serbs never officially apologized for the atrocities during the war. This denial by President Nikolić is a drastic step back from both reconciliation and reality. We can only hope that the ICTY sets the record straight, again, on Srebrenica.
American political news, for the past two weeks, has spent too much time on Big Bird's future. The fact that such a small portion of our national budget that is put to such a good cause could be such a big to do is amazing to me. And while public broadcasting's budget will continue to needlessly take up public discourse in the States, Albania will take the cake for a needlessly bad budget cut idea.
In a month's time, Albania will celebrate the 100th birthday of the first Albanian Republic. For most countries, a good centennial would include a lot of flag waiving, beer drinking, and fireworks (and, except in Bosnia, the singing of a national anthem). To make the festivities more inclusive, Albania's parliament introduced a bill this week that would free anyone who was sentenced to less than two years in jail for "non-serious crimes". Besides the fact that the Albanian criminal justice system is sentencing people guilty of serious crimes to less than two years, I have a problem with this.
The premise, "Who can party harder than petty convicts?" is a strong one. However, it hardly seems to me that Albania's biggest party since 1912 will be enhanced by those otherwise serving time for theft, sexual assault, and home invasion. We will find out next week what Albania's parliament thinks of this bill; however, no matter how they vote, the mere fact this is being considered makes me think that firing Big Bird isn't, objectively, the worst money saving proposal of all time.
While this post focused on the political short comings in the Balkans, there are some lessons the U.S. can learn from this region. This year, the United States Congress passed 66 bills into law. If you subtract the renaming of post offices, purchasing of land for courts, laws specifically for D.C., and a new commemorative coin, the number is closer to 45. This is just seven more laws than the nation of Kosovo passed in the same time. And while we were not dealing with social security, the debt ceiling, or education reform, Kosovo was. Even with all of the structural hurdles Kosovo has regarding sovereignty, their economy, and endemic corruption, they were able to pass almost as many substantive laws as the United States.
There are lessons to be learned in the Balkans for everyone. However, it is important to remember that in this election season where Labor statistics are supposedly faked and puppets are a financial burden that we, if nothing else, can always sing our national anthem together. At least those lyrics are something we can all agree on.


families, thanks to the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and a USDA Specialty Crops grant, administered by the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food (UDAF).
"The New Roots Farm is an agricultural program that focuses on immigrants and refugees," said Grace Henley, Food Enterprise Program Manager, IRC. Approximately 25 families farm the plot of land IRC leases from Salt Lake County near 3900 South and 700 West. The IRC recently received a second grants from the Specialty Crop fund to continue the work started in fiscal year 2015.
The crops were Asian and African produce. Along with the land to grow the crops, the IRC started a Saturday Farmers market and a farm stand to provide a distribution method for the produce. Finally, staff members created an ethnic specialty crop manual and catalog, so other interested growers could benefit from the work and research the IRC and the refugee farmers did.
For 2016, Immigrant and refugee farmers will be experimenting with Latino specialty crops.

MI modular home. Michigan floor plans, pictures, info on all modular homes.
A Michigan modular home is a home that is built in sections at an industrial unit and afterward delivered to a construction site where it is pieced together on location. This practice is believed to save customers time and money. These unique homes give the impression of being and feel of a traditionally-built house. No matter what condition the owner have, most modular home manufacturers have learned to make adjustments that will meet the requirements of those specifications. Modular home prices can be kept down because of the way they are constructed. Modular homes are assembled from modules produced in climate-controlled clean factories, and because they are ordered in advance, the manufacturer can order exactly what he needs to make the modules for the homes on order. By ordering parts for several homes at once, the manufacturer can buy in materials bulk and get them at discounted rates.
We currently build Modular Homes in the following states: IL, WI, IN, IA, KY, MI, MO, and OH.

Many people think that being positive is unrealistic, that when things are going bad it makes sense to be negative, cynical, pessimistic, hopeless, etc. WRONG! Regardless of the circumstances, by maintaining a positive attitude, avoiding a sense of victimhood, insisting that failure is not an option, being proactive, being open-minded, persisting and persevering, the outcomes usually always turn out better.

As Valentine's Day looms closer, it's easy to fall under the spell of Cupid's arrow and think of romantic nights out with someone special. Whether it's your first or tenth date, this time of year sends butterflies fluttering around your stomach, but let's hope it's the nerves of a first date and not your food allergies causing a rumble in there. So, when should you tell your significant other or first date about your food allergies? When is the right time to air this tumultuous subject? The answer is as soon as possible, like, do it now… I'll wait.
There's no point in stalling till your inches away from your allergen, or second guessing what they ate before you go in for a kiss. Treating your food allergies like a mysterious secret waiting to be unravelled is not a good dating tool. It's a serious topic that deserves to be mentioned upfront with honesty and confidence. If you're anything like me, you tend to undervalue your food allergies around new people for fear of how they will react to the little inconveniences it may cause them. It's a nasty habit I picked up in school; no one wants to be different or stand out, so I brushed off the seriousness of my allergies or neglected to tell people right away. I waited till the absolute last second causing myself serious anxiety from being near my allergens when it could have been avoided. It's a habit I try to break every day in adulthood but unfortunately it rears its ugly head every so often.
This bad habit of ignoring the seriousness of our food allergies or hiding them under a rug should never carry over into our dating lives. It's a subject that will inevitably come up, and chances are much like a lump under a rug: it's going to trip you up, make you fall flat on your face and seriously ruin your day. Picture this, you're on a date with the greatest person, you're shy, they're nervous, and so far, the evening has been wonderful. And then the two of you walk you up to the doors of a beautiful Thai restaurant where your date has made reservations for you. Great! The only problem is you're extremely allergic to tree nuts, peanuts, and sesame. Uh oh, now you have go through the awkward process of telling them about your allergies, why you can't eat there, why you didn't tell them beforehand, etc. To think all this could have been avoid if you were just open and honest about your food allergies.
Be confident and proud of your food allergies! After all, they are a part of you and help make you the amazing person you are! Tell them about your food allergies, how serious they are, where you can eat comfortably and anything else that makes you feel safe. It's better to be upfront honest with them rather than misguiding in order to appear easy-going or not too picky. Chances are they'll understand, listen and heck, even care about your allergies and safety! And if they don't care or try to help, they're really not worth dating in the first place, are they? Valentine's Day can be romantic, fun, exciting, or anything you want it to be. The butterflies in your stomach or nerves at the table should come from harmless first date jitters and attraction, not the food on your plate. Telling new people about your food allergies can be tough and even scary sometimes. But the weight you'll feel when it's lifted off your shoulders is immense, and it'll leave the rest of your evening open to discussing similar interests, sharing candid smiles and enjoying one seriously romantic evening. After all, your allergies are a part of you, and you want someone to love you for who you really are.
Something I know now to be the corner stone of my food allergy identity is confidence. Confidence taught, learned, and exercised at a young age is key to becoming an adult who speaks up about their food allergy in every situation. If your confidence is stolen or stifled, it can cause many kids to become ashamed of their food allergies. Then they may attempt to hide their allergy from others or dismiss the seriousness of it which makes the potential for a reaction so much larger. Instead of fighting for your child to have certain foods in a classroom, we should be explaining the severity and importance of awareness. Confidence can be a shield for ignorance and a tool to help change the perception many have about food allergies.
Confidence is the most important skill you can craft when it comes to having a food allergy and it's something that I think needs to be instilled at a young age. We as a food allergy community need to be building each other up, and helping to educate those around us so no one feels bad or ashamed on a daily basis. If we understand at a young age that we are all unique and beautiful, then the classroom and world will be a far more accepting place.
There is a saying: It takes a village to raise a child. As a community, we should be working together to help those with food allergies gain a voice that is proud of their food allergy. Confidence in myself and my fellow classmates would have made a world of difference between eating alone and helping everyone understand food allergies at my school. It seems like a small skill, but those little seeds tended to over years in school and into adulthood will create an aware, powerful counterpart in the food allergy community. A community that is dedicated to educating others, but more importantly, confident and proud in themselves.
As with most humour, there is the potential to offend your audience. As someone who has lived with anaphylaxis my whole life, I often find comfort in my ability to laugh things off or look at the brighter side in life. I understand wholeheartedly that this is a serious condition with potentially life-threatening consequences. If any of these jokes are distasteful and offensive to you, I apologize. They are, in my opinion, the best (and worst) food allergy jokes out there!
Did you hear about the Frenchman who could only count to seven?
What does an allergic person have in common with bees?
Did you hear about the convict who had allergies?
Why didn't the child with allergies play the board game Clue?
What did the night owl say to his pal the early riser?

A Publishers Weekly starred review
In the inhospitable lands of the Utah Territory, during the winter of 1888, thirty-seven-year-old Deborah Tyler waits for her husband, Samuel, to return home from his travels as a wheelwright. It is now the depths of winter, Samuel is weeks overdue, and Deborah is getting worried.
Deborah lives in Junction, a tiny town of seven Mormon families scattered along the floor of a canyon, and she earns her living by tending orchards and making work gloves. Isolated by the red-rock cliffs that surround the town, she and her neighbors live apart from the outside world, even regarded with suspicion by the Mormon faithful who question the depth of their belief.
When a desperate stranger who is pursued by a Federal Marshal shows up on her doorstep seeking refuge, it sets in motion a chain of events that will turn her life upside down. The man, a devout Mormon, is on the run from the US government, which has ruled the practice of polygamy to be a felony. Although Deborah is not devout and doesn't subscribe to polygamy, she is distrustful of non-Mormons with their long tradition of persecuting believers of her wider faith.
But all is not what it seems, and when the Marshal is critically injured, Deborah and her husband's best friend, Nels Anderson, are faced with life and death decisions that question their faith, humanity, and both of their futures.
Ann Weisgarber was born and raised in Kettering, Ohio. She has lived in Boston, Massachusetts, and Des Moines, Iowa. She is the author of The Promise and The Personal History of Rachel Dupree, which was longlisted for the Orange Prize and shortlisted for the Orange Prize for New Writers. She lives in Texas.
"Weisgarber's marvelous third novel (after The Promise) is set in the rugged canyon country of southern Utah during the winter of 1887–1888 as a Mormon woman struggles to hold her faith in the face of religious persecution and her fear of the law. . . . This is a rich, powerful, and wholly immersive tale grounded in Utah and Mormon history."
—Publishers Weekly, starred review
"[The Glovemaker] is compelling historical fiction, with a judicious weaving of late-19th-century history, fascinating explanations of Mormon practices and memorable characters who hold the reader's interest from beginning to end. Highly readable and accessible, the voice of each character rings true, and we care what happens to them. . . . Part love story, part religious explication, part mystery, this novel judiciously weaves all of these fictional trajectories into a seamless whole. . . . Not only does this book bring to life an important part of American history, but a deeper understanding of religion and geography, and the challenges and struggles of living in the West in the 1880s. It's a journey you won't forget."
"Weisgarber makes effective use of early Mormon history to explore moral choice, and compression in language, setting, number of characters, and chronology lends this tale an unusual force."
"In The Glovemaker, historical novelist Ann Weisgarber beautifully paints the harsh, lonely environment of the Utah Territory during the winter of 1887–1888 while creating tense moments and life-altering revelations for her heroine, Deborah. . . . Through the snow and wind, Deborah balances precariously between the tenets of her faith and her newfound courage. Weisgarber's strong grip on suspense keeps the pages turning until the last storm passes and Deborah finds peace within herself."
—BookPage
"A compelling story balanced on the knife edge between religion and ethics, crime and sin, compassion and fear."
—Mary Doria Russell, author of Doc and Epitaph
"The Glovemaker is another triumph from one of our country's finest historical novelists. Once again Ann Weisgarber gives us a spellbinding, multi-layered heroine whose survival is jeopardized by the harshness of the land and the man she loves. A tale of moral complexity as compelling and suspenseful as the great American classic, The Ox-Box Incident, The Glovemaker deftly explores a woman, alone with her conscience and the devastating consequences of serving community over self, finding the strength to choose right over righteousness."
—Sarah Bird, author of Daughter of a Daughter of a Queen and Above the East China Sea
"Against the backdrop of a bitter Utah January, novelist Ann Weisgarber's The Glovemaker kicks off a taut exploration of right and wrong, of good and evil, with a simple knock at the door. . . . The Glovemaker is a . . . rewarding [novel]. It's just right for a winter night and worthy of some rumination."
"Ann Weisgarber excels at the slowly unfurling tale . . . A skillful read, beautifully evocative of time and place. Highly recommended."
""When I first started reading Ann Weisgarber's new book, I had no expectation that a novel about renegade Mormons in Utah in the 1880s could turn out to be so precisely suspenseful that, if Alfred Hitchcock were alive, he might snap up the film rights. The Glovemaker is a humane, high-velocity glimpse into the ever-simmering dilemmas of faith and conscience."
—Stephen Harrigan, author of The Gates of the Alamo and Remember Ben Clayton
"The Glovemaker, placed in Utah in 1888, is a beautiful novel that while deeply anchored in history feels oddly relevant in today's world. Told primarily from the point of Deborah, a Latter-day Saint in Mormon country who cannot stand to watch federal government lawmen hunt Mormon men and their families. The issue then was religious liberty and Deborah finds herself in the thick of it."
—Jan Jarboe Russell, author of The Train to Crystal City
"Ann Weisgarber is a historian of the first degree, but her true strength lies in crafting sweeping and often poignant fictional narratives of the iconic women who helped settle the American heartland. Ms. Weisgarber, in The Glovemaker, has once again created a heroine of extraordinary grace and courage in a challenging, at times violent, but ultimately sublime landscape."
—Kathleen Kent, author of The Heretic's Daughter
"The Glovemaker, Ann Weisgarber's engrossing, troubling, honest-to-goodness third novel, is as stark and touching as the lives described, as tense and testing as the Utah backlands where it's set, as fine as any fiction you will read this year."
—Jim Crace, author of Harvest and The Melody
"'I loved everything about this book—the characters, the plot, the vivid and unique setting—but most of all I loved the fact that it felt so raw and honest."
—Juliet West, author of The Faithful
"Ann Weisgarber has a gift for wringing the beautiful out of the brutal and the invisible. Once again, she searches out a little known slice of history and exposes the difficulties through the eyes of an extraordinary female character, this time in a bleak winter setting in LDS Utah. The story isn't a mystery, it's a drama, and one that left me in quiet contemplation with a strong desire to visit the area...in the summer. Reading Ann's work is always a treat."
—Pamela Fagan Hutchins, USA Today-bestselling author of the What Doesn't Kill You series
"In this tension-filled and beautifully written novel about loyalty and love, courage and conscience, Ann Weisgarber introduces us to a frontier woman forced to make a split-second decision that could shatter her family and her entire fragile community—or redeem them all."
—Tripfiction.com
"While this is excellent character-centered literary fiction, its plot feels as taut as a thriller . . . The Glovemaker stands out for its well-wrought setting and its portrait of faith, independence, and courage at a pivotal historical moment."
—Reading the Past
"A very good read—affecting, honest, authentic. . . . You will want to read it to the end. . . . Well-researched and very well depicted, [The Glovemaker] is a gift for Mormons and non-Mormons alike, for all readers of historical fiction interested in the background of the beautiful, unique state of Utah. Read it and be enlarged."
—Association for Mormon Letters, Julie J. Nichols
"The Glovemaker is an intriguing historical novel about an "in-between place" filled with in-between Saints. . . . A tense, suspenseful story filled with empathetic characters and interesting historical details. . . . [Wiesgarber] addresses the issue of plural marriage with sensitivity and empathy (especially toward the women and children in polygamist families). This, coupled with skilled prose, interesting characters, and an engrossing plot, kept me reading and enjoying The Glovemaker."
—Association for Mormon Letters, Susan Jensen
"Weisgarber's marvelous third novel (after The Promise) is set in the rugged canyon country of southern Utah during the winter of 1887–1888 as a Mormon woman struggles to hold her faith in the face of religious persecution and her fear of the law. . . .

Home 1 Money stolen from festive fundraisers
Money stolen from festive fundraisers
By carasulieman -
By Cara Sulieman
A CALLOUS thief stole £200 from a charity while they were busy raising money in a Scots shopping centre.
A multiple sclerosis sufferer and three members of staff from MSTC Lothian were busy wrapping shoppers' Christmas gifts when the burglar struck.
The collection jar – thought to have contained between £150 and £200 – was sat on the table at the event in Ocean Terminal in Edinburgh.
It was the fourth day the volunteers had been wrapping presents for donations outside Debenhams in the busy centre.
The theft happened at around 3pm, shortly after centre Director Gordon MacRae had received a £20 donation from one happy customer.
He said: "I am utterly shocked, saddened and ultimately disgusted someone could steal from a charity right under their noses.
"We were extremely busy and people were being very generous.
"For a small charity like us, £200 is a lot of money – money we can't afford to lose. I feel very sorry for those who donated money in good faith, and our helpers who donated their time, that it won't go to helping our members.
"I sincerely hope they find the tin but to be perfectly honest don't hold much hope. I would appeal to anyone who thinks they might have seen something suspicious to get in touch with the police."
The small charity supports people on the east coast of Edinburgh living with MS and a range of other conditions.
Around 200 people benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy at the centre which is known to relieve the symptoms associated with the chronic condition and some other conditions.
A Lothian and Borders Police spokesman said: "This was a callous crime, and we are appealing for any information that can help us identify who is responsible.
"Anyone who was in the area outside Debenhams department store between 2.45pm and 3.15pm, who noticed anyone acting suspiciously there, should contact Lothian and Borders Police on (0131) 311 3131.
"Similarly, anyone who has any other information that can help us locate the stolen collection tin and its contents should also get in touch."

The developers have given us access to use HTML codes in our profile area, though using the STYLE tags are blocked.

Country estate Vaeshartelt - Maastricht
This beautiful country estate is now a hotel, restaurant and event location, but its history goes back centuries. In the 10th century, Queen Gerberga was regent over the area of Hartelt, as it was called then. After she relinquished her administrative function in 968 and went to live in the monastery of Reims, she donated all her possessions - including the area of Hartelt - to the Abbey of Reims. This is the first written mention of Hartelt.
In the 14th century, Hartelt came into the hands of Servaes van Mulcken and since then the area has been called Hartelt van (Ser)Vaes or Vaeshartelt. In 1841, Petrus Dominicus Regout purchased the country house for King Willem II. After the latter's death, Regout takes over the country estate. A landscaped park is laid out to a design by the Belgian garden architect Jean Gindra. After Regout's death, however, the estate is rapidly becoming more and more austere, with many of its elements disappearing.
The main building, which dates back to the 18th and 19th centuries, was restored in 1994, and two contemporary wings with conference rooms and 84 hotel rooms were built on the foundations of the former buildings. In 2013, the so-called Bloemenheuf was added back to the estate. An experimental garden has been created here, where 200 standard fruit trees have been planted with as many as 80 different types of old fruit varieties, two kilometres of various types of slate and berry fruit and a vegetable garden. This garden also contains the Bee Pavilion, which came from the Floriade and has been given a second life at Vaeshartelt. This fits in with the philosophy of the estate, which is managed entirely organically and ecologically.

HAMILTON, Ohio —
The growing memorial where 19-year-old Shon Walker's life was cut short, also serves as a reminder for many that his murder has still not been solved.

Epulze teams up with 4D Esports to present Dota 2 Lima Major
Image credit: Epulze
Tournament platform Epulze has partnered with esports production company 4D Esports for the upcoming Dota 2 Lima Major.
The Lima Major was officially announced by Valve earlier this month, with 4D Esports revealed as the host of Dota 2's first-ever LATAM Major. However, it has now been revealed that 4D Esports will team up with Epulze to present the Major.
The tournament platform has previously worked with 4D Esports on the South American Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) as an English broadcast partner of the event. Epulze is currently embarking on a similar joint venture for SEA DPC 2023 with Esports Business Network (EBN).
Last year, 4D Esports came under criticism from players and fans within the Dota 2 community due to missed payments to teams competing in SA DPC 2021-2022 Tour III. In December, the company announced that all payments have now been settled. 4D Esports will not be hosting that regional DPC league this year, with organiser ESB selected for its 2023 season.
Dota 2's first major of the year kicks off on February 22nd, with the event being held at Arena 1, Costa Verde San Miguel, one of Peru's biggest venues. The release notes that an opening ceremony is planned, with a soon-to-be-announced band performing at the Major.
Esports Insider has teamed up with the University of Warwick for ESI Next Gen. To find out more, click here.
Markus Lövgren, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Epulze, commented: "Epulze's and 4D Esports' combined knowledge and experience put us in a great position to host a fantastic event for Dota 2 fans in Peru, LATAM, and the rest of the world."
Alongside the Lima Major, Valve also revealed that its other two Majors will take place in Berlin, Germany and Bali, Indonesia. These events will be run by ESL Gaming and IO Esports, respectively.
Tom has been part of Esports Insider's team since October 2020 and is currently the platform's Editor. When not playing Football Manager, he enjoys reporting on the mobile esports scene as well as the betting sector.

La battaglia di Fort Albany fu una battaglia combattuta nel corso della guerra di successione spagnola il 26 giugno 1709 tra un gruppo di volontari francesi ed i loro alleati nativi contro i canadesi della Compagnia della Baia di Hudson presso la fortificazione di Fort Albany a sud della Baia di Hudson. Circa 70 francesi e 30 indiani attaccarono il forte, all'epoca sotto il comando di John Fullartine. Fullartine respinse l'attacco, uccidendo diciotto uomini tra cui diversi ufficiali ed il comandante francese. Per parte sua perse due uomini in un'imboscata prima dell'inizio dell'attacco.

Antefatto
Dopo la creazione della Compagnia della Baia di Hudson da parte di investitori inglesi nel 1670, presso la Baia di Hudson venne stabilito un florido commercio di pelli di animali e pellicce. Dagli anni ottanta del Seicento, la compagnia aveva fondato inoltre diverse stazioni commerciali presso le foci dei fiumi nella baia, e gli indiani viventi nella zona vennero invogliati a consegnare qui le loro pelli in cambio di beni europei come cibo, fucili, munizioni ed altri oggetti.

Il successo di quest'impresa catalizzò l'attenzione delle autorità della Nuova Francia che obiettarono agli inglesi l'invasione di territori su cui loro pure avanzavano delle pretese, e che il commercio di pellicce nell'area andava turbando i loro traffici commerciali. Con la spedizione del 1686, e poi con la Guerra dei Nove anni (1689–97, nota anche come Guerra di re Guglielmo nelle colonie inglesi), razziatori della Nuova Francia ripetutamente attaccarono gli avamposti della compagnia, catturando spesso beni e vie di collegamento, impedendo così alle pelli di raggiungere l'Europa. Con la fine della guerra, solo uno degli avamposti della compagnia, Fort Albany (così denominato perché collocato presso la foce del fiume Albany, attuale Ontario settentrionale), rimase nelle mani della compagnia.

Quando scoppiò la Guerra di successione spagnola (nota nelle colonie inglesi come Guerra della regina Anna) nel 1702, l'idea di razziare quest'ultima vestigia dell'autorità inglese nell'area iniziò a percorrere le menti delle autorità della Nuova Francia. Nel 1709, un gruppo di coloni francesi decise di lanciare un attacco contro Fort Albany. Il governatore della Nuova Francia, Philippe de Rigaud Vaudreuil, diede il proprio assenso al raid, ed aiutò pure la spedizione con suoi fondi privati. Gli investitori nella spedizione si aspettavano di recuperare le spese con le pelli ricavate dall'operazione. Il comando della spedizione venne dato a Nicolas d'Ailleboust de Manthet, razziatore di frontiera con esperienza, il quale secondo i resoconti non era mai stato presso la Baia di Hudson in precedenza. Manthet reclutò 70 francesi e 30 Caughnawaga Mohawk, e si spostò verso il fiume Moose viaggiando nella James Bay a bordo di canoe locali sino a giungere a Fort Albany alla fine di giugno del 1709.

La battaglia
Fort Albany era abitato da una compagnia di impiegati sotto la direzione di John Fullartine, da lungo tempo impegnato nella compagnia e che era stato per diverso tempo prigioniero dei francesi durante i primi raids della zona, nazione che quindi egli conosceva molto bene. Fullartine venne allertato di una spedizione francese da una serie di commercianti Cree, ed ebbe pertanto tempo per preparare le proprie difese; il numero esatto dei difensori non è noto per la scarsità di informazioni al riguardo.

Tutto ciò che si sa circa l'evento è che i francesi attaccarono ma questo assalto non ebbe il successo sperato e sia Manthet che il suo secondo in comando rimasero uccisi durante l'azione. Le perdite francesi ammontarono a 18 in totale (inclusi i due capi), mentre la compagnia perse solo due uomini che non si trovavano nel forte al momento dell'inizio dell'attacco e che vennero colpiti nel corso di un'imboscata.

Conseguenze
Dal momento che la compagnia non aveva inviato alcuna nave da Fort Albany nel 1709, gli ufficiali a Londra si accorsero subito che qualcosa non stava funzionando in America. Francis Nicholson, che era venuto a conoscenza di una fallita spedizione contro la Nuova Francia dalla provincia di New York nel 1709, portò a Londra diversi capi mohicani per ottenere il supporto necessario per una nuova spedizione per il 1710. I mohawks informarono gli ufficiali della compagnia di aver saputo dell'attacco per essere stati a Montréal al tempo della spedizione. Fullartine compilò un rapporto completo dell'evento quando tornò in Inghilterra nel 1711, ma esso ad oggi è introvabile.

Il governatore Vaudreuil venne criticato dai ministri di governo di Parigi per il suo ruolo insufficiente nella preparazione della spedizione. La Compagnia della Baia di Hudson riprese tutti i propri avamposti nel 1713 quando il Trattato di Utrecht pose fine ala guerra, ma Francia e Gran Bretagna continuarono a disputarsi i territori per i decenni successivi.
