Marriage, marriage everywhere
by Nan Hunter on June 5, 2012 • In Constitutional law, DoMA, Marriage
It's going to be quite a year for gay marriage. The Ninth Circuit has denied the petition for rehearing of the February decision in which a three-judge panel ruled that Prop 8 violated the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution. Following on the heels of the First Circuit decision in the DoMA case, this means that cert petitions from the losing sides (in both cases, the side opposed to marriage equality lost) will be arriving at the Supreme Court's door at almost the same time. The defenders of Prop 8 and DoMA have 90 days to file their petitions, and the parties that prevailed will then have 30 days to respond with an opposition to cert.
The filings will likely be completed in late September or early October, and the cases will probably make it to the Court's conference calendar before the end of October. And that, of course, means just before the election. Will there be any spillover effect? Hard to say.
Whether President Obama will pay a price for having endorsed equal marriage rights is a question we won't know the answer to until the day after the election, since people may hedge their responses to poll questions on this topic. Of more direct consequence, voters in four states – Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington – will vote explicitly on whether gay couples should be able to marry in those jurisdictions. Will the pending Supreme Court cases take the steam out of voter mobilization efforts? Or will both sides throw extra energy into sending a message to the Court?
Those four states could produce the most important first since Massachusetts became the first state where gay couples could marry: the first popular vote in favor of affirmatively extending marriage rights to same-sex couples. Surely that will happen in at least one of those states. Whether that kind of voter endorsement will have any sway on — hmm, shall we say Justice Kennedy — is a big if, but it sure wouldn't hurt.

What is Chemistry
Chemistry exists everywhere, not just in laboratories, but in every living thing on land and sea and in our bodies. Chemistry is often described as 'the central science' containing a lot of formulas. So, if you enjoyed Junior Cert Science and have done well in it, and in Maths, you should be a good candidate for Leaving Cert Chemistry
Why Study Chemistry
This subject aims to provide a relevant course for students who will complete their study of chemistry at this level while, at the same time, providing a foundation course for those who will continue to study chemistry or related subjects following completion of their Leaving Certificate. Chemistry is considered most useful for careers in Pharmacy, Ag Science, Medicine, Engineering, General Sciences and Biotechnology.
What kind of student would Chemistry suit?
If you enjoyed Junior Cert Science and you have done well in this and in Maths, you should be a good candidate for Leaving Cert Chemistry
If you apply attention to detail and are able to describe the procedures of experiments and understand vocabulary
Students considering a career in any scientific discipline, such as chemistry, biology, environmental science, medicine, pharmacology, or material science
The Chemistry Syllabus
The subject aims to provide a relevant course for students who will complete their study of chemistry at this level while, at the same time, providing a foundation course for those who will continue to study chemistry or related subjects following completion of their Leaving Certificate.
The Leaving Cert. course follows on directly from Junior Cert Science, and deals with more topics in a lot more depth. The course includes 28 mandatory practical experiments which must be completed in the lab, as well as a written paper including questions on the experiments and examining the theory and applications of chemistry. There are an amount of calculations involved. Chemistry has been the second most popular science subject for some time now.
There is no element of continuous assessment but experimental copies must be available for inspection by State Examinations Commission
The syllabus consists of approximately 70% pure chemistry; the remaining 30% deals with the social and applied aspects of chemistry.
The syllabus is comprised of all the essential and relevant topics within general chemistry. The major topics involved include the following:
Reaction mechanisms.
There also is an option to be taken as part of the course which involves the study of atmospheric and industrial chemistry or the study of materials and electrochemistry.
Experimental investigations are an essential part of the leaving certificate course. Each student must complete at least 28 experiments over the duration of the course.
Experimental work is examined as part of the leaving cert exam and forms the basis for a minimum of three questions on the exam paper.
The leaving cert exam is three hours in duration. Each candidate must answer at least two questions from Section A (experimental section) and a maximum of six questions from Section B.
There are eleven questions in total on the exam paper, each carrying 50 marks.
There is no element of continuous assessment but experimental copies must be available for inspection by the State Examinations Commission. Students taking chemistry have to memorize the chemical components of a series of prescribed experiments. They will need to present the elements of four such experiments in their exam.
Chemistry is considered extremely useful for a wide range of career areas such as: Pharmacy, Ag Science, Medicine, Dentistry, Veterinary Science, Pharmacy, Physiotherapy, Engineering, General Sciences, Dietician, Nursing, Food Science, Biotechnology and Medical Laboratory Technology.

Konosuba. Don't recognize the character on the left, so it has to be from the second season since I'm waiting on the blurays.

The current autofocus always selects the brightest star.
Maybe the focus exposure time was too short? On some fields an exposure time of 2 seconds may be necessary to get an acceptable star.
OK, I will write you by PM when ready. (But only increasing the exposure time will solve).
Thanks. I'll check the exposure time when I get back to the observatory in 3 weeks or so.
If you add something like this into your script you can select the guide star you want to use for guiding! Just download the field you want to image and draw a box around the star you want to use. Then start your script!
Can you explain the syntax: Camera.Autofocus(60,x,y) ?
If I understand it correctly it will create an autofocuser window of 120 x 120 pixels with X, Y pixels as the window centre?
The number sets the size of the subframe used for guiding. Smaller number smaller subframe!
The X and Y are the coordinates for the subframe center!
I think I understand what might be happening. I've been using a guidescope to autoguide my 10in SCT. The SCT has quite a bit of mirror flop and I suspect that AA7 is using the first frame in the sequence to select the focus stars, but then uses the current frame in the sequence for autofocus, and so the selected rectangle in the current frame no longer contains the star selected for autofocus.

I know I have been posting a lot of crockpot recipes lately. I swear once Winter comes there is something cozy about pulling out my crockpot and smelling yummy food all day while it cooks. I am usually making several meals a day, so it is nice to know something will be done just in time for dinner without me having to keep an eye on it. I don't cook much with the crockpot during the Spring and Summer months. This recipe came out perfectly. Moist tender chicken with an amazing garlic gravy that is perfect to be served with mashed potatoes. I started with a whole fryer Chicken. I found some really good Free Range Organic Chicken for $0.99 a pound! Score!
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium- high heat. Cook the chicken, skin-side-down, until the skin turns golden brown (about 4 minutes).
Combine the onion, garlic and thyme in a 5 to 6-quart slow cooker and season with salt and pepper. Top with chicken, skin-side-up. In a small bowl, whisk together wine and flour until smooth and pour it over the chicken and into the slow cooker. Cover and cook until the chicken is tender- 3 1/2 hours on HIGH or 7 hours on LOW.
Serve chicken topped with sauce. Serve over mashed potatoes.

Taking the question of two of its viewers into account, Tecnópolis demonstrates how to make a magnet.


Researchers from the Helmholtz-Zentrum Berlin für Materialien und Energie Institute demonstrate how it is possible to induce a magnetic order on a small region of a material by using a small electric field, instead of commonly used magnetic field.
Te researchers used a wedge-shaped polycrystalline iron thin film deposited on top of a BaTiO3 substrate (a well-known ferroelectric and ferroelastic material). Given their small size, the magnetic moments of the iron nanograins are disordered with respect to each other, this state is known as superparamagnetism.
Researchers from MIT, the Max-Born Institute, Technische Universität Berlin and the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY) say ferrimagnets-based spintronics devices could be faster than ferromagnets ones.
Ferromagnets are traditional magnets - such as iron. Ferrimagnets are materials that have two types of ions with magnetic moments that are not equal - and are also polarized in opposite directions.Using these two ion types could be used, according to the researchers, to create smaller bits in magnetic memory as these will allow faster domain wall dynamics to occur.
Researcher discover a 2D material that possessed an intrinsic ferromagnetism.
Researchers from the DoE's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory discovered that 2-D chromium germanium telluride (CGT) feature an intrinsic ferromagnetism. Up until now it was not clear whether magnetism could survive in such thin materials - but this discovery proved that it could of course.
The CGT flakes were produced using exfoliating (the scotch-tape method, the same one used to produce graphene in Manchester in 2004). This discovery can lead to extremely thin spintronic devices.
Researchers at Tohoku University managed to find the origin and the mechanism of ferromagnetism in Mn-doped GaAs. This phenomonon has been puzzling researchers for over 20 years, and this new explanation may help to accelerate the development of spintronic devices made from such materials.
Mn-doped GaAs crystals exhibit characteristics and properties of both semiconductor and magnet. It is possible to use an electric field to control the magnetism in such materials - which makes them very appealing candidates for spintronic devices.
Researchers from Japan and Vietnam report an iron-doped ferromagnetic semiconductors at room temperature. They say this is the same time that a ferromagnetic semiconductor is demonstrated, which is seen as a promising spintronic device material.
The researchers say that current theory predicted that a type of semiconductor known as "wide band gap" would be strongly ferromagnetic, and most research focused on that approach. But the researchers chose a narrow-gap semconductor (both indium arsenide and gallium antimonide were chosen) as the host semiconductor, which enabled them to obtain ferromagnetism and conserve it at room temperature by adjusting doping concentrations.
Researchers from Germany, France and the UK managed to switch on and off robust ferromagnetism close to room temperature by using low electric fields. They hope such work will lead to applications in low-power Spintronics devices.
Researchers developed a new technique called HARPES (Hard x-ray Angle-Resolved PhotoEmission Spectroscopy) that can be used to investigate the bulk electronic structure of different materials. In the first application, they checked the bulk electronic structure of the prototypical dilute magnetic semiconductor gallium manganese arsenide, and discovered that the material's ferromagnetism arises from both of the two different mechanisms that have been proposed to explain it. Understanding the source of ferromagnetism in dilute magnetic semiconductors is an important milestone toward using these materials in Spintronics devices.
HARPES, which is based on the photoelectric effect, enables scientists to study bulk electronic effects with minimum interference from surface reactions or contamination. It also allows them to probe buried layers and interfaces that are ubiquitous in nanoscale devices, and are key to smaller logic elements in electronics, novel memory architectures in spintronics, and more efficient energy conversion in photovoltaic cells.
According to Thomson Reuters a Spintronics researcher is a likely likely to be in contention for Nobel honors in Physics. They say that Hideo Ohno, Professor of the Laboratory for Nanoelectronics and Spintronics in Tohuku University is Japan may get the price for his contributions to ferromagnetism in diluted magnetic semiconductors.

Resolutions of the Boston Town Meeting - September 13, 1768
These Resolutions of the Boston town meeting were made in response to British troops being stationed in Boston. British troops were stationed there in 1768 by General Thomas Gage who was charged with calming down colonists angry with Great Britain. Having a standing army in their own city outraged Bostonians. They published this document, written by Samuel Adams, that declared their rights as British citizens. They argue that they are being unconstitutionally taxed and that having an army in their midst is unconstitutional as well. The document calls for a convention of the entire province to meet on September 22 to deal with the outrages against them. The British occupation of Boston eventually led to the Boston Massacre, in which several citizens were killed by British troops.
Resolutions of the Boston Town Meeting
The committee appointed to take the state of our public affairs into consideration reported the following declaration and resolves:
Whereas it is the first principle in civil society, founded in nature and reason, that no law of the society can be binding on any individual without his consent, given by himself in person, or by his representative of his own free election; and whereas in and by an Act of the British Parliament passed in the first year of the reign of King William and Queen Mary, of glorious and blessed memory, entitled an Act declaring the Rights and Liberties of the Subject, and Settling the Succession of the Crown; the Preamble of which Act is in these words, viz: "Whereas the late King James the Second, by the assistance of diverse evil councillors, judges, and ministers employed by him, did endeavour to subvert and extirpate the Protestant religion, and the laws and liberties of this kingdom," it is expressly among other things declared, that the levying money for the use of the Crown, by pretence of prerogative, without grant of Parliament for a longer time or in other manner than the same is granted, is illegal. And whereas in the third year of the reign of the same King William and Queen Mary, their Majesties were graciously pleased by their royal charter to give and grant to the inhabitants of his Majesty's province all the territory therein described, to be held in free and common socage; and also to ordain and grant to the said inhabitants certain rights, liberties, and privileges therein expressly mentioned; among which it is granted, established, and ordained, that all and every the subjects of them, their heirs and successors, which shall go to inhabit within said province and territory, and every of their children which shall happen to be born there, or on the seas in going thither, or returning from thence, shall have and enjoy all liberties and immunities of free and natural subjects, within any of the dominions of them, their heirs and successors, to all intents, purposes, and constructions whatever, as if they and every of them were born within the realm of England.
And whereas by the aforesaid Act of Parliament made in the first year of the said King William and Queen Mary, all and singular the promises contained therein, are claimed demanded, and insisted on as the undoubted rights and liberties of the subjects born within the realm.
And whereas the freeholders and other inhabitants of this town, the metropolis of the province in said charter mentioned, do hold all the rights and liberties therein contained to be sacred and inviolable - at the same time publicly and solemnly acknowledging their firm and unshaken allegiance to their alone and rightful sovereign King George the third, the lawful successor of the said King William and Queen Mary to the British throne.
Resolved, that the said freeholders and other inhabitants of the Town of Boston will at the utmost peril of their lives and fortunes take all legal and constitutional measures to defend and maintain the person, family, crown, and dignity of our said sovereign Lord George the third; and all and singular the rights, liberties, privileges, and immunities granted in the said royal charter, as well as those which are declared to be belonging to us as British subjects by birthright, as all others therein specially mentioned.
And whereas by the said royal charter it is specially granted to the Great and General Court or assembly therein constituted, to impose and levy proportionable and reasonable assessments, rates, and taxes upon the estates and persons of all and every the proprietors and inhabitants of said province or territory, for the service of the king in the necessary defence and support of his government of this province, and the protection and preservation of his subjects therein, therefore:
Voted, as the opinion of this town, that the levying money within this province for the use and service of the Crown in other manner than the same is granted by the Great and General Court or assembly of this province is in violation of the said royal charter; and the same is also in violation of the undoubted natural rights of subjects, declared in the aforesaid Act of Parliament, freely to give and grant their own money for the service of the Crown, with their own consent, in person, or by representatives of their own free election.
And whereas in the aforesaid Act of Parliament it is declared that the raising or keeping a standing army within the kingdom in time of peace, unless it be with the consent of Parliament, is against law; it is the opinion of this town that the said declaration is founded in the indefeasible right of the subjects to be consulted, and to give their free consent in person, or by representatives of their own free election, to the raising and keeping a standing army among them; and the inhabitants of this town being free subjects, have the same right derived from nature and confirmed by the British constitution, as well as the said royal charter; and therefore the raising or keeping a standing army, without their consent in person or by representatives of their own free election, would be an infringement of their natural, constitutional, and charter rights; and the employing such army for the enforcing of laws made without the consent of the people, in person, or by their representatives, would be a grievance.
The aforegoing report being divers times distinctly read, and considered by the town, the question was put: whether the same shall be accepted and recorded, and passed unanimously in the affirmative. Upon a motion made and seconded, the following votes was unanimously passed, viz :
Whereas by an Act of Parliament of the first of King William and Queen Mary, it is declared that for the redress of all grievances, and for amending, strengthening, and preserving the laws, parliaments ought to be held frequently, and inasmuch as it is the opinion of this town that the people labour under many intolerable grievances which unless speedily redressed threaten the total destruction of our invaluable natural, constitutional, and charter rights:
And furthermore as his excellency the governor has declared himself unable, at the request of this town, to call a general court, which is the assembly of the states of this province for the redress of such grievances:
Voted, that this town will now make choice of a suitable number of persons to act for them as a committee in convention, with such as may be sent to join them from the several towns in this province, in order that such measures may be consulted and advised as his Majesty's service, and the peace and safety of his subjects in this province may require; whereupon the Hon. James Otis, Esq., the Hon. Thomas Cushinq, Esq., Mr. Samuel Adams, and John Hancock, Esq., were appointed a committee for the said purpose, the town hereafter to take into consideration what recompense shall be made them for the service they may perform.
Voted, that the selectmen be directed to write to the selectmen of the several towns within this province informing them of the aforegoing vote, and to propose that a convention be held, if they shall think proper, at Faneuil Hall, in this town, on Tuesday the 22d day of September, instant, at 10 o'clock before noon.

Biden Promises To Revitalize Rural Economies As 'No Malarkey' Tour Swings Through Carroll
December 1, 2019 Carroll County, News Nathan Konz
Democratic Presidential Candidate, Joe Biden, is sharing his plans to revitalize rural economies as he travels through Iowa on his eight-day, 18-county "No Malarkey" tour. The tour kicked off Saturday with stops in Council Bluffs and Denison, and Biden started his second day speaking to a crowd of approximately 150 people in Carroll. According to Biden, America cannot afford to allow rural areas to continue struggling because they make up the backbone of our nation's economy.
https://dehayf5mhw1h7.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/304/2019/12/01151606/Biden-1.mp3
Biden's plan to revitalize rural economies promises to strengthen the ag sector by pursuing favorable international trade policies, investing in net-zero emission farming practices, expanding wind and solar energy and setting aside at least $20 billion in federal funding to expand broadband access in rural areas. Biden says opportunities should exist for every American, regardless of where they call home.
Former Iowa Governor and U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack, is traveling with Biden on his tour. He says Democrats are fortunate to have so many qualified candidates running, but Vilsack and his wife, Christie, have put their support behind the former vice president.
Rich Stoffers, a retired educator, says Biden's message will likely resonate with Iowans, but he is unsure it will sway caucus-goers.
The "No Malarkey" tour continues through Saturday, Dec. 7 with stops in Storm Lake, Spencer, Mason City and more. Full audio from Biden's Carroll visit can be found included with this story on our website.

Antifa Member Arrested After Attempting to Topple Jackson Statue Also Reportedly Attacked Jack Posobiec
Home Civil Unrest
An Antifa activist known for assaulting conservative media figures has been arrested for his role in the vandalism of an Andrew Jackson monument.
by National File News
in Civil Unrest, Culture
An Antifa member known online for assaulting and harassing conservative personalities was arrested by federal law enforcement for his role in the attempted destruction of an Andrew Jackson monument near the White House; the accused has reportedly been identified as a "ringleader" in the attempt to destroy the monument.
Jason Charter was arrested on Thursday morning by federal officials and charged with destruction of federal property, according to Fox News.
The FBI's criminal complaint cites video of the incident and claims Charter can be seen assisting and directing the vandalism, as well as firsthand involvement in the toppling and subsequent burning of a statue of Confederate General Albert Pike in Washington.
Charter self-identifies as a member of the Antifa movement which was recently designated a terrorist group by President Donald Trump.
However, this is not the first time Jason Charter has been filmed engaging in criminal or otherwise suspect behavior. Last month at a protest calling for the removal of an Abraham Lincoln monument, One America News reporter Jack Posobiec was assaulted by a group of antifa protesters and physically forced to leave the area after having water thrown on him and his phone stolen. A tweet from Ian Miles Cheong identified a man in a red visor "who assaulted Jack Posobiec repeatedly and refused to let him go to the police."

Gateway Pundit reporter Cassandra Fairbanks also accused Charter of calling her phone number late at night "like a weirdo", and referred to a video Charter posted of himself addressing her saying "Cassandra, you need to take a chill pill. Nobody threatened you, nobody did anything to you… I was laughing the entire f***ing phone call"
https://twitter.com/CassandraRules/status/1278723814025768965?
It may also be noted that Charter, despite his involvement with the far-left group Antifa, was allowed to attend CPAC while several notable conservative media figures were banned due to accusations of being too far-right.
The Post-Millennial, with Gavin McInnes, considers that Charter may have been responsible for the latter's removal from the Conservative Political Action Conference. During McInnes's interview with Jared Holt, a far-left activist also permitted to attend CPAC, Charter confronted McInnes and left, only to be seen again as McInnes was being removed from the venue.

Good Day, Regular People: What Is The Serenity Suite At BlogHer?
Since 2006, BlogHer has been creating a place for conference attendees to find some quiet when they seek it; a comfortable room they can go to -- to help calm social anxiety nerves, take a breather, or just ::center:: (I can't be the only that needs to sit and press two fingers to my temples, alone). This year is no different.
That place is The Serenity Suite at BlogHer.
Last year, a team of dedicated and caring bloggers led by Maggie and Heather, made sure someone was always there to greet you as you walked through the door -- and they are back!
What the Serenity Suite is is an alcohol free zone, which makes it the perfectly convenient place to take a break away from booze and not have to be alone somewhere if you don't want to be.
This year will be very special. Serenity Suite will be honoring our beloved Susan Neibur, of whymommy, whom we lost much too early, this past February. We'll have note cards in the suite, where we want you to tell us your memories of Susan, or of anyone in your life that has battled or is now battling cancer. Write their names down, talk to us about them, let's have everyone who comes into the Serenity Suite know about them.
I am honored and excited to be one of the crew volunteering my time with The Serenity Suite this year. I'm so happy that The Suniverse will be there with me, on Thursday night, 7 - 9 p.m.
So if you find yourself in need of some personal space and wishing for a place to go, stop by and talk to us, or come and sit quietly. Take a nap if you'd like, sit and stare into space if that's what recharges your batteries. Whatever you need, we'll be your haven for as long as you need us to be.
Any way you're there, we'll take you. And we'll be so very pleased to meet you.
If you are looking for an onsite recovery meeting the suite is the place for you! Visit the suite and times will be posted.
Heather is updating her site often with new and exciting details - check it out!
P.S. For those of you in recovery (of any kind), we will have local recovery meeting times and locations available on site.
A place like that would be nice any day. I'm always stuck using my bathtub!
Anyway - I look forward to seeing you there!
Oh that is such a great idea. And very cool of you to volunteer your Blogher time there. I hope you meet a ton of amazing people.
I think you have helped me finally figure out what use I can make of our spare bedroom...perfect name included! Now if you would just check on me once and awhile!
You are so lovely, Alexandra. Can't wait to see you next week!
I didn't realize it's an alcohol free zone which is great for people in recovery. I can almost predict who WON'T be in alcohol-free zones!
This sounds so wonderful! Thank you - I am sure I will be passing by for a time out. And you are definitely one woman I want to meet.
The Serenity (Now) Suite was a huge source of relief during my first BlogHer two years ago. We (and when I say "we," I mean "I") socially awkward types really need the destressification it provides. Yeah, that's a word; I don't care what Words With Friends has to say about the matter.
We are so honored to have you on the team this year, lady. THANK YOU.


The notion of the 'pilgrim' is a wonderfully rich and powerful one for Christians and other believers. As relevant today as it has always been. To be a pilgrim doesn't necessarily mean travelling to some devotional shrine in a far off land – for all of us there is the spiritual journey towards the core of our being.
For all things are His.
Here, now, all the more.
Whose call he has heard.


Batman '66 aesthetic is burned into the very fabric of pop culture—bright lights, bold colors, biffs, boffs, and kapows. But these recently resurfaced pieces of production art go behind the scenes in seeing how that aesthetic was eventually brought to life.
The artwork, by Leslie Thomas, was recently resurfaced by Batgirl Bat-Trap. Thomas' work for Batman has been shown publicly before; several pieces of art were donated to Virginia Commonwealth University's Comic Arts Collection and later publicly shown at the New-York Historical Society exhibition last year.
With Adam West's take on the Caped Crusader's recent resurgence thanks to new comics, new toys, and even a new movie, it's cool to get an insight into how the show's iconic look was originally imagined behind-the-scenes. You can see more of Thomas' Batman artwork over at Batgirl Bat-Trap.

Rotorcraft Highlights of 2015
Graham Warwick | Aviation Week & Space Technology
Seemingly ending a long-running, often-controversial effort to buy new light helicopters for its armed forces, India's Defense Acquisition Council in May approved an offer from Russian Helicopters to supply 200 Ka-226Ts to be coproduced in India. A contract has yet to be signed. The Ka-226T is powered by two Turbomeca Arrius 2G1 turboshafts.
Russian Helicopters
Russian Helicopters and China's AVIC signed a framework agreement on May 8 to jointly develop the Advanced Heavy-Lift (AHL) helicopter, to be manufactured in China. To be powered by a pair of 8,000-shp-class engines, AHL is planned to have a takeoff weight of about 38,000 kg (84,000 lb.) and to carry an external load of 15,000 kg in hot-and-high conditions.
Sikorsky's S-97 Raider made its first flight on May 22 at West Palm Beach, Florida—the first of two industry-funded prototypes of the high-speed light tactical helicopter. Powered by a General Electric YT706 turboshaft, driving rigid coaxial rotors and a pusher propulsor, the Raider is designed to cruise at 220 kt. armed with external weapons and 240 kt. clean.
Airbus Helicopters' H160 medium twin made its first flight on June 13 from Marignane, France. The first aircraft is powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada PW210Es, but subsequent prototypes and production H160s will have more powerful Turbomeca Arranos as standard. The Arrano-powered second prototype is expected to fly by year-end. Entry into service is scheduled for 2018.
Airbus Helicopter
Airbus Helicopters launched a two-year concept-definition phase for the X6 heavy-lift rotorcraft in June. The twin-turbine, fly-by-wire helicopter is expected to enter service in the 2020s to replace the current AS332/H225 Super Puma family. Aimed at oil-and-gas, search-and-rescue and VIP missions, the X6 will enter service with all-weather capability including full deicing.
Airbus Helicopter concept
Canada accepted delivery of the first six of 28 CH-148 Cyclone maritime helicopters on June 19, at Royal Canadian Air Force base Shearwater at Halifax, Nova Scotia—almost seven years later than scheduled when the contract was awarded in November 2004. Initial helicopters are in interim Block 1 configuration, for training. Sikorsky is to deliver fully capable Block 2 Cyclones from 2018-21.
Bell Helicopter's "super-medium" Model 525 Relentless made its first flight on July 1, at the company's Amarillo, Texas, assembly center. The 16-passenger 525 has a composite airframe, two General Electric CT7-2F1 turboshafts driving a five-blade composite main rotor, fly-by-wire flight controls and a Garmin G5000H glass cockpit. Four test aircraft are planned. Certification is scheduled for 2017.
Bell Helicopter
In July, Japan became the first international customer for the V-22 Osprey tiltrotor transport when Bell Boeing received a U.S. Navy Foreign Military Sales contract for the first five of up to 17 Block C aircraft. In January, the Navy announced plans to acquire 44 V-22s to meet its requirement for a carrier onboard delivery aircraft to replace its Grumman C-2A Greyhounds.
Sikorsky/Dean Sfikas
Delayed by a main-rotor gearbox redesign, the U.S. Marine Corps' Sikorsky CH-53K King Stallion heavy-lift helicopter made its first flight on Oct. 27 at West Palm Beach, Florida. Powered by three General Electric GE38-1Bs, the CH-53K is designed to lift 27,000 lb. and carry a 12,000-lb. load 110 nm—three times the hot-and-high lift capability of the CH-53E. Initial operational capability is planned for 2019.
Lockheed Martin's $9 billion acquisition of Sikorsky closed on Nov. 6. The helicopter-maker has become part of the Lockheed Martin Mission Systems and Training business that is prime contractor for the U.S. Navy's Sikorsky MH-60R/S Seahawks and principal supplier to Sikorsky on the Navy's VH-92A presidential helicopter and the U.S Air Force's HH-60W combat rescue helicopter programs.

Low oil prices hit the oil-and-gas market, forcing commercial operators to delay procurements and manufacturers to make layoffs. But the international military market remained active.

Beck Is Married! Inside You Star Elizabeth Lail's Wedding Ceremony
Elizabeth Lail revealed she married dentist Nieku Manshadi! Their New York wedding featured a tea ceremony, s'mores and a flower arch: "We laughed and cried the whole way through."
By Lindsay Weinberg May 06, 2021 8:22 PMTags
WeddingsCelebrities
Watch: Penn Badgley, Elizabeth Lail & Shay Mitchell Talk New Series "You"
Though Beck's love life went belly up in You, the actress behind the character finally got her happily ever after IRL.
Netflix star Elizabeth Lail married pediatric dentist Nieku Manshadi in an intimate spring ceremony on April 24, she shared with Brides.
The pair tied the knot at Hasbrouck House in Stone Ridge, New York, where they also marked their first anniversary as a couple. "It felt right returning to a place from our story and sharing it with those we love," Elizabeth, 29, told the outlet.
The newlyweds celebrated with 22 guests, as they "decided not to wait" until after the pandemic and instead got married with a small group to remain COVID-conscious. "We didn't have a strong vision so we went with what felt right and true to us," she explained, noting that the day-of "felt like a surprise party that kept revealing itself all day," thanks to special moments with family and friends.
Elizabeth and Nieku met "the good old-fashioned way," as she recalled, during a mutual friend's party in Williamsburg, New York. They got engaged in August 2020 in Montauk: "We were at our own little bonfire during sunset on the beach making s'mores when Nieku proposed with my grandmother's wedding ring."
Secret Star Weddings and Elopements
On the morning of the big day, Nieku led a hiking expedition for guests, and Elizabeth planned a tea ceremony, saying, "It was such a peaceful, grounding way to start the day. It was so meaningful to share a practice I love with the people I love."
They presented each other with a love letter during their first look ahead of the ceremony. "It was such a beautiful moment to really connect with one another before adrenaline sweeps you away," the Once Upon a Time star said.

They later exchanged traditional and Baha'i vows in front of an "arch of flowing flowers" by florist Dark and Diamond, which Elizabeth appreciated for bringing "so much joy to our ceremony."
She donned a custom Andrea Hawkes gown made of Marrocaine silk that "made me feel like the woman I am becoming." The groom was gussied up in a Freemans Sporting Club navy suit, along with an IWC watch.
Another magical part of the day was their "incredible" playlist. Elizabeth walked down the aisle to "Crazy Love" by Van Morrison, and they played "Elephant Gun" by Beruit after their first kiss as husband and wife. "I haven't stopped singing these songs since," she gushed.
The party then headed inside for dinner at Hasbrouck House's Butterfield restaurant to enjoy a vegan lentil dish, followed by s'mores by the bonfire outdoors.
"I wanted our tables to feel like we had cut fresh flowers from my grandmother's garden," Elizabeth explained of the décor, adding that the venue had a decidedly "homey feel."
Her favorite part of the evening was the speeches, revealing, "Ours were so heartfelt and funny. You had to be there."
She went on, "We didn't plan on dancing due to the size of our party, but somehow got swept up by the music once dinner was over... Nieku's family is Persian and taught us all how to dance."
The bride reflected of her special day, "Our wedding was so small and intimate we couldn't help but have every aspect reflect a part of us... It was primarily our two families coming together for the first time. We laughed and cried the whole way through."
Diane Keaton, Kathryn Gallagher, Ashley Park and more stars have congratulated the happy couple.
Clearly, it was a New York wedding fit for an Upper East Sider, as Elizabeth will soon appear in the HBO Max Gossip Girl reboot.

The last time that Lindsey Buckingham played with Fleetwood Mac was January 26th, 2018, when they were honored as the MusiCares Person of the Year. They played a short set that included "The Chain," "Little Lies," "Tusk," "Gold Dust Woman" and "Go Your Own Way" and things seemed OK from the audience, but there was a behind-the-scenes battle when Buckingham objected to the use of "Rhiannon" as their intro music. Nicks was also enraged when he smirked during her long speech.
Nicks has yet to explain her side of the story in any detail, but the Radio City set remains the last time the classic Rumours lineup played together. Here's video of them doing "The Chain" from the show with Harry Styles. This audience-shot video was obviously created by a Styles fan since he's often the only one even visible in the frame and there's a frenzied scream of "Harry's on stage with them!" throughout the whole thing, but it's the best version that's available on YouTube right now.
Buckingham has put all of his solo dates on hold as he continues to recover from the heart surgery and the Fleetwood Mac tour is plugging away with dates on the books through late September. What happens after that is anyone's guess. This health episode may inspire Nicks to make peace with Buckingham and set the stage for a reunion tour a couple of years down the line. And even if his voice was permanently damaged from the surgery, few fans will care just as long as he's back on that stage where he belongs.

Alton Sterling's Family Demands Action From Baton Rouge Officials
By David Lohr, www.huffingtonpost.com
Resist!

"It's just another dead black man on the street to y'all!" Sterling's aunt said.
Alton Sterling's frustrated family members and their supporters confronted Baton Rouge officials this week, demanding an update in the nearly 3-month-old investigation into the 37-year-old black man's death.
A police officer fatally shot Sterling near a convenience store where he sold CDs in July. The shooting sparked protests across the country against police misconduct.
On Monday, 50 demonstrators had gathered outside City Hall to march to the governor's mansion when they realized they had an unexpected opportunity to speak with officials in the building.
"While we were outside, we found out a police reform meeting was being held inside," Arthur Reed told The Huffington Post on Tuesday. Reed is founder of Stop The Killing, the group that released cell phone footage of Sterling's death.
The protesters, including Reed and several members of Sterling's family, decided to go inside.
"We're concerned by a lack of answers in the shooting," said Reed. "The family had a simple question: 'What is the status of the investigation?'"
I think that his situation had its day, as far as national media attention. Alton has been overshadowed by other tragedies that have taken place, and he is not getting the attention he deserves.Arthur Reed, Stop The Killing
But because the Department of Justice is heading up the investigation, Sterling's friends and family are having trouble getting their questions answered.
"They told us they don't have any information," Reed said of city officials. "They said they haven't been briefed by the feds. We just feel this is taking an extremely long time. In most cases, family members would be briefed on how far along they are, and Alton's family hasn't heard anything."
Sterling's aunt, Sandra Sterling ― who says she raised him ― told attendees she was upset.
"I feel left out, because y'all are not calling me no more," she said, according to The New Orleans Advocate. "So it makes me think that I don't matter no more. So if I don't matter no more, Alton don't matter no more."
Veda Sterling, another aunt, demanded action. "I'm not going to wait," she said. "We're tired of waiting."
The day after Sterling's death, the Justice Department announced it was opening a civil rights investigation into the shooting. At the time, officials from the office of Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) assured the public the investigation would be transparent.
Less than two weeks later, Gavin Long, a former Marine from Missouri, opened fire in Baton Rouge, killing city police officers Montrell Jackson, 32, Matthew Gerald, 41, and East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff's Deputy Brad Garafola, 45. Long wounded three other officers.
The protests ceased, and national media attention drifted away from the tragedies in mid-August, when torrential rain in southeastern Louisiana caused massive flooding that inundated entire communities and claimed more than a dozen lives.
But since the flood waters have receded and more police killings around the country have set off protests, Sterling's loved ones are growing angry that authorities aren't being transparent about the investigation into his death.
"Y'all don't care about Alton," Sterling's aunt, Lorna Sterling, shouted at Hillar Moore III, district attorney for East Baton Rouge Parish, during Monday's meeting. "It's just another dead black man on the street to y'all!"
Moore, who has recused himself from involvement in the case, did not respond to the criticism. He later told The Associated Press, "There is nothing that I can say from any standpoint to alleviate their emotions."
The Justice Department hasn't indicated how long it will take to complete its investigation. On Tuesday, DOJ spokesman David Jacobs replied to HuffPost's inquiries with a copy of a July 6 press release:
"The FBI's New Orleans Division, the Civil Rights Division and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Louisiana have opened a civil rights investigation into the death of Alton Sterling. The Justice Department will collect all available facts and evidence and conduct a fair, thorough and impartial investigation. As this is an ongoing investigation we are not able to comment further at this time."
"That statement is still accurate," Jacobs said.
Dwindling national media attention is making it easier for the federal government to drag its feet, said Reed, who says he's working with local officials to organize a public meeting about Sterling's case.
"I think that his situation had its day, as far as national media attention," Reed told HuffPost. "Alton has been overshadowed by other tragedies that have taken place, and he is not getting the attention he deserves. There's a lot of unanswered questions in this case and we want those answers. Everybody is tired of excuses. We need action."


True Fractionated Coconut Oil is a clear, colourless oil which does not leave a greasy feel, or stain sheets or massage towels. Superb for massage for babies and the elderly, it is also suited to very fine pores, or where a non-greasy after feel is sought.
It is made from a fractionation process which separates light and solid parts of Coconut Oil. This fractionation leaves the coconut oil very light and allows it to sink right into the skin, and together with the ease with which is washes out of linen, is much sought after by massage therapists.
Also known as "FCO" in the cosmetic an d personal care world, it is not a "go to" use in Cold Process Soap because that "solid" stearin part has been removed, using regular Coconut Oil for soapmaking will result in harder bars with more lather. Because it contains only the medium triglycerides, means that is always liquid, at all temperatures. It's an excellent carrier for Essential Oils and Fragrance, and for making lotions and creams "less heavy".
One of our recent discoveries we love is a Fractionated Coconut Oil Butter made with our Butter Easy Sunflower Wax - it's gorgeous on the skin and in formulas.
Fractionated Coconut Oil is very stable and has a virtually indefinite shelf life with no rancidity issues.

The Love Song of Laura Ingalls Wilder
By Sharon McCartney
Product Form Paperback / softback
2008 Winner of the Acorn-Plantos Award for People's Poetry
The Love Song of Laura Ingalls Wilder is an unusual collection of poems that combines craft, innovation, humour and down-to-earth insight in a focused and riveting read that will charm poetry buffs of every stripe.
The poems in The Love Song of Laura Ingalls Wilder subversively and imaginatively inhabit the voices of characters from Wilder's famous Little House books--human and non-human, animate and inanimate--but launch them in new directions. Rather than acting as extensions of Wilder's stories, the voices, characters and details in the poems become vehicles for modern-day questions and observations.
With titles like "Ma's Green Delaine Dress," "Mary's Fingers," "Pa's Rifle" and "Pa's Penis," the poems in The Love Song of Laura Ingalls Wilder are anything but conventional. Peculiar, gripping and exquisitely crafted, The Love Song of Laura Ingalls Wilder is an unforgettable new collection.

In all my years designing web sites, I don't recall a client yet that is versed in copyright law or website ownership. I don't find this strange at all. If you've never had to deal with it, there's no reason you would know about it.
… nor do I pretend to be. I am only passing on some very basic information based on what I've learned in my years of business.
If you should ever experience a copyright issue that you or your web designer cannot work out on your own with something like a simple "Cease and Desist" letter to the offending party, don't try to take it any farther on your own. Your next step should be to contact a lawyer, preferably one that's versed in Internet copyright law.
Copyright law says that the creator of the design and content on a web site automatically becomes the legal owner of said design or content the moment it's designed or written. It's customary to post a copyright statement on one's web site but it's really not necessary nor is it required by law. Let's face it, since when do a few words on a web page stop someone from stealing your content if they really want it? If you think a copyright statement is going to stop them, you need to back up and then move forward in re-think mode.
If you want to review the actual laws, one of the best sites to do so belongs to Attorney Ivan Hoffman. Attorney Hoffman is considered to be the most highly regarded authority on the subject of Internet web site law. He provides an impressive list of links for web site designers and site owners that you may wish to review.

This is why rodent and wasp numbers are on the rise
The unusually warm weather has seen an influx in the number of pests, with the return of the heatwave now providing the perfect conditions for not only rodents such as rats and mice to thrive, but wasps too.
Monday, 23 July, 2018, 17:39
The British Pest Control Association (BPCA) has recently seen an increase in the number of call-outs in regards to wasps, as the warm weather brings extended opportunities to feed.
Kevin Higgins, BPCA Technical Advisor, explains that although they already expected this summer to be a big year for wasps, "the warm spell has had an impact, and the numbers are rising significantly, exceeding initial expectations.
"This early abundance of fruit in the fields and gardens gives better feeding conditions in which they can thrive. Wasps get giddy on the fruit, it makes them slightly inebriated, and this is when they are most likely to sting".
This activity usually takes place at the end of the season, but changes in the usual climate conditions are now bringing that forward.
The BPCA is now expecting the wasp season to extend if the warm weather continues, making 2019 a huge year for wasps, as these conditions allow for more queens to thrive.
Rodents on the rise
The unusually warm weather of late has seen an influx in the number of pests
Calls-outs to tackle rats and mice have also kept constant, which is unusual for this time of year, as these tend to drop during the summer months.
It's believed that instead of moving away from the shelter of homes and making for outbuildings and outdoor environments, rodents are still opting for the former.
Although the BPCA are unsure of the exact cause for this, they are making investigations.
One theory is that there is a good deal of fruit around this year due to the warm weather and that rats and mice don't have to travel as far as usual to feed.
The BPCA is now expecting the wasp season to extend if the warm weather continues
Pest population
The technical team at BPCA keeps a watching brief on the UK pest population, keeping a record of and sharing information and best practice with its members to ensure the public is protected.
Mr Higgins states: "We'd urge the public to be pest aware this summer as the unusual weather makes an impact on their numbers.
"Wasps, rats and mice can be a real nuisance, and a public safety issue too".
Calls-outs to tackle rats and mice have also kept constant, which is unusual for this time of year
BPCA advice on how to protect against rodents:
Get in contact with a pest controller who can help minimise pest activity with a range of techniques
Make sure all waste food is in sealed bins with closed lids
Look for gaps or holes around pipes and cables entering buildings and make sure they are sealed. If you can get a pencil into the gap, the rodent can also enter
BPCA advice on how to protect against wasps:
Be careful when children have ice cream or lollies as wasps are attracted to these
Keep a sting remedy to hand
If you don't have access to this, cutting an onion in half and placing it on the site of the sting can also help

Survey Finds Bad Air Quality Kept Many LACo Residents Indoors at Times in 2021
Posted by Contributing Editor on December 7, 2021 in Education | Leave a response
Half of Los Angeles County residents avoided going outdoors at some point in the last year because of air-quality concerns related to wildfires — a 30% increase from 2020, according to a USC Dornsife College survey released Tuesday on how residents are impacted by their environment.
The "USC Dornsife-Union Bank LABarometer" is a quarterly survey of randomly selected L.A. County residents that measures social conditions across four different areas — livability; mobility; sustainability and resilience; and affordability and prosperity.
Every quarter of each year, data are released concerning one of the areas — with Tuesday's data focusing on sustainability and resilience.
The report drew on data from July 19 to Sept. 5 and covered 1,244 randomly selected respondents. The survey was conducted in both English and Spanish.
"The startling increase in the percentage of Angelenos who didn't want to leave their homes because of unsafe air resulting from wildfires really speaks to the growing threat wildfires pose to quality of life in Los Angeles," said Kyla Thomas, director of LABarometer at the USC Dornsife Center for Economic and Social Research.
"Compared to just a year ago, our results suggest that more Angelenos are feeling the impact of climate change on their daily lives and plans."
Other "takeaways" from the survey were:
— 59% of Angelenos say their next car is likely to be an electric or hybrid vehicle, a 23% increase from 2020. Specifically, 4 in 10 expect their next car to be zero-emission, a 24% increase from 2020;
— 75% say climate change is caused mostly by human activity, up 3 points from 2020;

— Black residents are more likely to work outdoors, unsheltered, and thereby be at greater risk of exposure to harsh environmental conditions. More than a quarter (27%) work outside with no cover, compared to 18% of Latinos, 15% of whites and 10% of Asians;
— The percentage of respondents who believe climate change is a threat to their well-being increased four points to 77%, while the percentage who think local government is doing enough to fight climate change held about steady at just 18%; and
— Two-thirds of Angelenos say their own actions can make a difference in fighting climate change. Seniors (60+) were 23% more likely than young people (18-39) to believe individual actions could make a difference.
"The fact that a large majority of Angelenos expect their next car to be an electric or hybrid vehicle doesn't just have implications for air quality and the fight against climate change — it raises important questions about urban planning, including what happens to the city's 500-plus gas station sites when new gas-powered cars are no longer available," said Christopher Hawthorne, director of 3rd LA at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences and chief design officer for the city of Los Angeles.
"The ripple effects from the switch to electric vehicles will be felt across the city for decades to come."
By following the same residents over time, LABarometer aims "to capture trends and shifts in residents' attitudes and circumstances, allowing decision-makers in the public and private sectors to better understand the evolving lives and needs of L.A. residents," according to the survey.

Brocchi: "The biancocelesti will fight for the Champions League"
An unfortunate first matchday for Lazio, who after losing to Napoli by a scoreline of 2-1 mist now must focus on Cristiano Ronaldo and Juventus this upcoming week. Current assistant manager at Chinese side Jiangsu Suning and former Lazio and Italian midfielder Cristian Brocchi spoke to Radiosei about the first match, Juventus, and much more.
Reliving Lazio vs Napoli: "It was a difficult match for Lazio as they started out very well, but then Napoli woke up after Immobile scored. The Azzurri have a lot of quality in their squad and the first goal was a classic, an action that they know by heart, while the second was a crazy strike from Insigne. A draw would have been the right result, but we are only at the beginning of the season and the team will be able to bring out the best in themselves".
Discussing the defensive track record: "To suffer fewer goals is also due to the desire to create opportunities. I believe that Lazio has shown that it knows how to get results thanks to the team organization and the improvement of its performers in relation to this."
On new acquisition Milan Badelj who started in the match against Napoli: "Badelj? He is a reliable player, an excellent purchase whose presence will definitely be felt throughout the season".
An opinion on tactics: "The best solution is always provided by the coach who sees the squad closely every day. To compose the midfield it is necessary to deploy those that integrate better with each other and with the style of play that is required. Only Simone can understand and evaluate players as they are. At a tactical level, after performing a 3-5-1-1 so well, it is difficult to think of being able to change. The conditioning of the players does not seem to be at one hundred percent yet and even Simone confirmed this himself. It's normal for the first match, but then it takes a lot to start again and take the right path".
Talking about Juventus vs Lazio: "Matches like the one on Saturday are beautiful to play in. The knowledge of having the whole world wanting to watch the game is a great feeling. It will be very difficult to beat the Bianconeri, but anything can happen in football".
Finally, in discussing the transfer market: "When you already have a team with excellent players, the best thing is to not distort it. The fact of not having sold Milinkovic is very important and putting other players in uncovered roles makes the squad benefit at the end of the day. In Italy, there is always the will to change, but Lazio has all the qualities to enter the Champions League. They almost did it a year ago, I do not see why they can not repeat themselves this year".

Thinkpriest.org Priesthood in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee: What is a Vocation?
"What will you do with your life? What are your plans? Have you ever thought of committing your existence totally to Christ? Do you ever think that there can be anything greater than to bring Jesus to people and people to Jesus?
The word "vocation" derives its meaning from the Latin root vocare, which means "to call." In the Catholic Church, your "vocation" refers to God's call for you and your life. Jesus calls all of us in a unique and intimate way to know Him, love Him, follow Him, and serve Him.
God has placed on each one of our hearts the desire for fulfillment, a desire for deep and authentic happiness. This desire is ultimately fulfilled in a relationship with God in Jesus Christ. True happiness is found in Christ – in our relationship with Him, in His will for us, and in a life given completely to Him. A vocation, then, is our path the perfect happiness, a journey by which God draws us closer to Himself through a life of holiness.
Your vocation truly is a calling. This means that it does not come from the world, or from ourselves. Rather, a vocation is an invitation from Jesus Christ to follow Him.
The most fundamental and primary vocation of all people is the call to holiness. Holiness is not the luxury of a few, but the simple duty of all. We all are called to be holy - to know, love, follow, and serve God with our entire being. We all are called to live a life of virtue and to make a gift of ourselves to our neighbor in sacrificial love. We all are called to an intimate relationship with Christ through the sacraments and a life of prayer.
The call to holiness touches us in the very depths of who we are. It is the reason for which we were created. It is the meaning of life! God – who is all Goodness, Truth, and Beauty - created us for himself. He is the fulfillment of the deepest and truest desires of our heart. In the depths of our heart, we realize that God loves us infinitely, so much so, that his love gives us our very identity. We are as his beloved sons and daughters.
This is the lofty calling that all people share. All baptized men and women are called to become saints. We call this the "Universal Call to Holiness," and it is a life-long pilgrimage. We all are sinners in need of God's mercy. Only through God's grace and mercy are we able to persevere in this life of holiness.
Jesus Christ, in and through the Church, invites individuals to a unique life of holiness by means of one's particular vocation. Particular vocations refer to the unique state in life by which men and women are called to live out the universal call to holiness, their primary vocation.
Our particular vocation is the way that we are uniquely called to respond to the' universal call to holiness. Each particular vocation is a way of following Christ, growing in holiness, and serving the Church and the world. It is our path to greatest holiness, and therefore to our greatest happiness, life in Christ. Jesus Christ is calling many men to freely give of themselves and lay down their lives in service to the Church and the world as priests.


Hirafu, Niseko, Annapuri Ski Resorts.
This morning I headed up the Hirafu Gondola with Alexander and Andreas, my two mates from Sweden. The day was clear and the wind had died down. First up, we skied down to Niseko Village through the trees and down the gullies. Then up the gondola and headed off to Annapuri. We went through Gate 1 and traversed a little bit then went down the fall line. Up top the snow was icy due to the previous days's wind.
Then we headed up the quad chair and another double and went through Gate 7. Mostly it was tracked out. But there were a few patches of fresh snow here and there.
After Annapuri, we headed back to Hirafu and headed through Gate 9 to the waterfall run.
Finaly I got some photos of me. woohoo.
This afternoon my Swedish friends asked me to come along to the climbing wall at Niseko. I was not going to climb any walls but went along to take some photographs.
Alex posing at the bottom.
Alex and Andreas started off at the climbing wall. I liked this one because of the contrast.
This one is on the bouldering wall.

A Frozen Meal in Winnipeg
October 15, 2017 Erin Food 0
If you're into food and travel, you may have heard of RAW:almond. If you're into food and travel AND you live in southern Manitoba, I'm just going to assume that you have. For those of you that haven't heard of it, I'll provide a quick overview: it's a fine-dining pop-up/art installation on the frozen Assiniboine River in Winnipeg. (The art installation part of this is the warming hut design competition on the Forks River Trail.)
Winnipeg is often overlooked as this tiny frozen city on the prairies. I kind of love that it's mostly overlooked, though. The food scene in Winnipeg is fantastic and ever-evolving. RAW:almond is a reflection of this, showcasing many of the city's exciting young chefs, as well as notable chefs from other Canadian cities.
The Forks, where the Assiniboine River flows into the Red River, has been extremely special to the Cree, Anishinaabe, Sioux, and Nakoda people for over 6000 years. I want to learn more about this yet!
We've had weirdly warm weather lately, so it was a very comfortable, windless evening — VERY strange for Winnipeg in January. We were a tad concerned the ice would break and we'd slide into the river and drown… but this obviously did not happen. We simply had warmer weather for this remarkable outdoor dining experience.
Our reservation was for 9:30 PM, so we had time to go for a stroll on the frozen rivers. We never go boating on the river in summer (but I will try to make it happen next summer) so this was my first time viewing the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, and the Louis Riel Bridge, from the middle of the Red. It felt like wet snow was hanging in the low clouds, warm, like a shimmering blanket over the city.
I'd always thought of The Forks as Winnipeg's most basic tourist site — sort of where you'd go when you're hanging out with a bunch of people and can't really agree on what to do next. I'd actually never walked on the ice, nor skated the trail. And so, this was my first time walking on the actual Fork of the two rivers. It was kind of surreal.
At last it was time for us to be seated.
Steve and Andrew shared red wine, which I'm allergic to… so I just had whiskey. And the girls next to us bought me a shot of Jägermeister. Hooray for shared tables! *clink*
We were at table number one, which was the table of Chef Eric Lee from Pizzeria Gusto.
Above: pumpernickel pasta with mushrooms and parmesan.
Deep-fried foie gras! Also creme fraiche, pickled beets in red wine vinegar (which Chef Eric Lee made himself), roasted carrots, and carrot puree. Obviously the highlight was the foie gras… but the beets with vinegar were divine… the acid cut through the richness of the foie beautifully. Steak with arugula and parmesan two ways — traditional, and molecular. I can't remember what kind of fish this was. Halibut? Swordfish? Very delicious and fresh. But honestly, the highlight here was the tiny Japanese crab, nestled on the tasty asparagus. This is my SECOND little crab. Because the girl across from me was too scared to eat it… so I benefited from her terror. Chocolate hazelnut tarte. Decadent. The perfect conclusion to our evening.
Verdict: we'll always strive to return to RAW:almond!

travelling, learning other counties, jogging, swimming, dancing, theaters, exhibitions, aerobic.
I was born in Sant Petersburg and lived here all my life so far. I'm well-educated and communicative. I was always keen to learn about new counties so I've travelled quite a lot and I've worked in the international environment for a while. I enjoy being open-minded and to learn new things. I prefer my life to be quite stable however if I feel that changes will bring me to a new level I never hesitate to get involved. My routine life contains of work, a lot of sports and travelling. I also love dogs (but I'm allergic to cats unfortunately).
Living somewhere abroad should be an amazing experience I would like to try. I also want to build up strong and supportive relationships and to have children in the future. I feel I need a sole mate to share the life with and to support each other.I dream to meet a positive, with a good sense of humor. Who will be romantic in relations and with serious intentions to create a strong couple, family. I think that for a real man distance is not an obstacle. If you are a gallant and communicative man, can guess desires of a real woman and prefer to be surrounded with care and love, I would be glad to meet soon!


WASHINGTON: The Saudi ambassador to the United States Khalid bin Salman, brother of the powerful crown prince, has returned to Washington after leaving the US capital in the wake of the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, an official said Wednesday.
"His Royal Highness the Ambassador is in Washington" embassy spokeswoman Fatimah Baeshen told AFP.
The diplomat returned to Riyadh in early October shortly after the killing of the dissident Saudi journalist at the kingdom´s consulate in Istanbul.
Two key Republican senators said Tuesday a briefing by CIA director Gina Haspel had only strengthened their conviction Prince Mohammed was behind the crime — a charge he denies.
According to US media reports, the CIA had evidence that Prince Khalid had spoken to Khashoggi before his death and assured him that he would be able to visit the consulate, where he planned to go to get documents he needed to marry his Turkish fiancee, without any risk to himself.
The Saudi foreign minister Adel al-Jubeir meanwhile was also in Washington Friday to represent his country at the funeral of former president George H.W. Bush, according to Baeshen.

Q: output cache with Sql Dependency Cache in web farm or load balanced environment I was just wondering whether any way exists to use Output cache with SQL Dependency in Load Balanced environment or Web Farm Scenario? By this I mean that following scenarios should be achieved:

*

*When performing insert update or delete operation, the cache should be updated on both the server right away i.e. either manually or  automatically. here I succeeded upto some extent that my cache was updated on the server where the current Insert, update or delete request is being processed using following code:

SqlCacheDependency dependency = new       SqlCacheDependency("DependencyName","TableName");
 HttpContext.Current.Response.Cache.SetValidUntilExpires(true);
 HttpContext.Current.Response.AddCacheDependency(dependency);
But when same code was requested on another server using explicit IP address of the server, the cache was not update.

*Is there any automated way to notify all the servers in the web farm to update their cache by any means i.e. auto notification or explicitly requesting all the server.

*Is there a specific way to update Output Cache with Sql dependency of a particular asp.net mvc controller action?
Also, I have IP addresses of each servers in the web farm by which each of them can be distinguished.
Thank in advance,
Lalit
