LOL, i don`t think i`ll ever get my papillon to eat kibble again! my golden, diva would..she`s so easy going everything is cool to her! like jodi says, her stool will normalize...or what we call normal n kibble anyways. if it doesn`t add some more bone to her diet...calcium is a stool hardener...she might react to kibble and raw in the same day. hard to say...some do and some don`t. also if the skin is on the chicken it adds fat and some dogs react to fat.
Thanks for the info. She finally ate the kibble this morning. It was funny. She kept wathcing me open and close the refrigerator...waiting. She even stuck her head into the refrig. Finally, she ate. I don't know if I should give her one more meal of kibble tonight since she didn't eat yesterday evening...or if it would be okay to give her the chicken. I guess there's really no way to know for sure. What do you think?
I wish my husband was this easy to transition to raw!
> know for sure. What do you think?
Its funny because on the kibble, she is hungry and wants to eat hours before its time for me to feed her. The chicken seems to keep her full longer. She is driving me nuts...stalking the refrigerator! This is just too funny!
> refrigerator! This is just too funny!
She is doing good...and seems to be feeling better. We are still doing 2 meals raw (dinner / breakfast) and 2 kibble (dinner / breakfast). It will be one week on Thurs. I am watching her stools. When they get to be consistent, I will give her more raw.
more raw, the better. is your plan to transition them to 100% raw?
steaamed veggies, fruit and recreational bones.
her teeth went from nearly black to literally glowing white.
if i weren't a vegan, i'd consider gnawing those RMB myself!!
I started my dog on raw food last year. I used a dry kibble at first (Flint River) then used a modified recipe from this site :[www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com]. I also purchased a raw food called STella and Chewy's. I also used antoher brand that hand salmon in it. They tend to be expensive but my dog loved them. He has weight issues so i have switched him to a limited diet of dry kibble. I would take the raw foood and put a 1/2 c. of weak green tea on it and some Omega 3 and 6 oils. I still use the oil. WE also used Nature's Variety Beef and he loved it. He does not have any issues with his stools except for one brand. I don't want to use their name but it is a popular brand. He became constipated and I ended up throwing away the food. There is another brand he liked but I cannot remember the name (pete's I think). I generally mix raw a few days then dry. My dog has tartar problems even with brushing. He did not start a raw diet until 6 and had no transition issues.
> me i shouldn't combine the two? dang, am i making him worse?
depends on who you ask LOL. i`m on several natural dog feeding sites and one will say no don`t feed them together because of the different rates of digestive times and the digestive enzymes needed for different things found in kibble. one school of thought is that it takes alot longer to digest kibble so the raw will sit in the gut and get rancid and cause digestive upsets. some dogs are bothered by it some aren`t. another list will say that it`s a myth, it`s totally fine to mix. yet another will say, feed one type for bkfst and the other for dinner. one will say dogs don`t need vegees and one will say they do in a small quantity. my advice is to research and make your own choice using facts and logic. i won`t feed my dogs kibble....ive researched too much and know too many disgusting things about the dog food preparation methods to be able to feed kibble comfortably. i also had a very scary experience at the time of the huge dog food recall and i just don`t trust anyone anymore where my furkids are concerned.i don`t strictly raw feed either. i home cook for bkfst and i give raw at dinner. my dogs thrive and can`t wait to eat.
so when making your dog food, do you add any special vitamins? stuff that dogs need that the normal persong wouldn't really know? like taurine for cats, what is that? anyway, i'm not into health stuff, but i want my "kids" to be healthy, i'm still having a problem w/ the yeast infection on hoover (cat has hyper thyroid) i got some natural yougurt, but in'mnot sure if that's the thing to do? i also will be making new goop, as the stuff now has some fruit in it, which can have natural sugar, so anyway, what was i asking? oh yeah, do you add anything to your raw diet. thanks so much this has been a great site for me to find things out. thanks again.
as far as supplements here`s what i add but i`m not convinced it`s necessary...i add bone meal for calcium and i add an all around vitamin/mineral supplement. i give a fish meal once a week also.
hey; thanks for the help .. getting back to the raw diet, god i feel so stupid.. can i mix chicken in with the beef? i have some beefy goop left, but just went and got more chicken. do i need to blend it? or jsut cut it up? and i think i will give him the goop stuff in the a.m. and then 2 cups of kblle at dinner, that way he will still get all the vitamisn from the kibble,( it's the good kind, wellness, no grains, no rice no corn no wheat. he's allergic) no by products, etc. anyway.. i'm gonna go to the book store this week and try to find a book on nutrition. you all have been so helpful, any suggestions on books? thanks again lola.
no need to feel stupid! yes, you can mix. just be careful because some dogs can`t handle quick switches or the introduction of a buttload of new foods. chicken is the easiest to digest, that`s why they recommend starting with it. plus the bones are relatively soft so it`s good on their teeth and easy also to digest, plus it`s widely available for a decent price no need to blend california natural made by natura is also a great high end kibble for allergy sufferers (in case you ever want to change for the sake of mixing it up a little) 2 cups at dinner? be careful with the weight issue. usually with the high end kibbles you don`t need as much food. my golden was getting one cup per feeding and she weighs 65-70 lbs. the majority of my learning has been on the net and on various raw groups so i can`t recommend many books i`m afraid. also depends on who`s school of thought you`re going to follow...billinghurst is one, there are bunches though. just make sure they`re not trying to sell you all kinds of supplements and make it seem all difficult and such...just like the vegan way, people tend to make it complicated when it`s really not that difficult. do a bit of research on what the canine is species wise and try to mimic what he would eat here`s some websites to get you started if you want. the first is a die hard raw species list with some very educated and very opinionated people and very passionate about the proper diet for a true carnivore...just warning you they however are extremely smart and have put alot of energy into research.
I was wondering does this mean red meat on the bone.. like you buy at the butcher shop, or are you still talking about chicken on the bone?? and exactly what part of the chicken would this be??
> exactly what part of the chicken would this be??
like a bone in rump roast, pork roast, and the like. if you can see the bone chances are it`s too much bone and not enough meat. as far as chicken goes chicken quarters, chicken halves, whole chickens etc. again, there are many schools of thought on the "right" way to feed puppers. heart and lung and tripe is also considered muscle meat even though they`re organs. liver is considered an organ and should be 5% of their diet. there is prepared raw but the problem i have with that is it doesn`t clean and work their teeth cuz the bones are ground and it`s expensive. there is dehydrated raw where all you do is add water. many schools of thought.
tim/tom landsdale or lonsdale or something like that is a good one too. billinghurst is another but he adds alot of supplements and such. i`ll see if i can track down some more...i know i have them, just a matter of finding them.
any suggestions or explanations of what ccould have happened?
she probably caught her lip on her tooth .. my mother in law has a shitzu who always does this heh .. just flip up her lips and check an check her gums tongue , roof of mouth , under the tongue .. if you dont see anything major i wouldnt worry about it ..


Cabinet has approved the committee that will be responsible for capturing public opinion on the direction the country should take as it relates to legalisation of marijuana.
Prime Minister Dr. Hubert Minnis told reporters over the weekend that government intends to put together a diverse grouping that will be responsible for public education.
The committee announcement follows the Caribbean Community's (CARICOM) recommendation that the region should look at reclassifying marijuana.


The Investigatory world of Reverse Phone Lookups is not filled with "cloak and dagger" style operatives dropping secret information packets off in trash cans. Unlike the movies, professional investigatory work is more akin to a combination of a lawyer and secretary. It takes someone with a keen sense of objectivity and someone who has the ability to perform repetitive, tedious tasks to successfully perform Reverse Phone Lookups. It also takes access to a wide arrange of Reverse Phone Lookup Databases in order to properly do the job. Not having access to properly updated databases would be like hiring a home builder to build a home with no tools. It would not work properly. This is why Reverse Phone Lookup Databases are not all the same. Each database is curated by the company maintaining the database.
Why are Telephone Databases difficult to maintain and update?
Telephone Databases are massive. Updating every number all the time is work intensive and not many companies can keep an adequate update schedule with their database. This leaves gaps in information that are ill afforded in Investigatory work. Make sure to choose a company that pays to update their databases on a regular basis. Nonpub.com maintains a rigurous update schedule for our Reverse Phone Lookup Databases.
Don't Search Engines have updated Databases for Phone Numbers?
No. It may appear that Search Engines list regular, updated phone numbers when searching for valid information, but these search results can be tampered and altered. Astroturfing, listing sites, and other means make it possible for false information to show up above other information on Search Engines. This leaves a wide gap of trust between the person searching for information and the Search Engine because the Search Engine has no liability to deliver accurate information.
Who offers the Best Reverse Phone Lookups in the Industry?

Mounting servos in different locations can be a little bit tricky – a while back we developed a very simple "vertical" servo mount for sub-micro servos like the SG90 and the Generic sub micro servo . This isn't the most elegant solution, it is just a simple 3D printed bracket with a few mounting holes.
To use this servo bracket, just slide the cable through the slot in the end and push the servo into the holder. It is a snug fit – in most cases we don't even bother using a screw to hold the servo in place. The two 3mm mounting holes allow the entire assembly to be screwed or bolted down.
Please Note: Servo sold separately.

'Mum is here': Recording of Nora Quoirin's mum used in search
A heartbreaking voice recording of missing Irish teenager Nóra Quoirin's mum was used by police in the Malaysian jungle yesterday, as day five of the search took place.
The recording was played on loudspeakers near the Dusun resort in Negeri Sembilan where Nóra went missing. Her Belfast-born mum, Meabh, said;
"Nóra darling, I love you. Mum is here." The Irish Times reports that voices of other relatives have been recorded for use in the case as well.
Search-and-rescue teams, Indigenous trackers and members of special forces remain hopeful in their efforts to find the missing 15-year-old, who has learning and developmental disabilities.
"Nora, my love, mum's here."
A recording of Nora Quoirin's mother is being used by police searching for the missing London teenager in the Malaysian jungle.
Here's the latest on the search from the country: https://t.co/i3MRL945US pic.twitter.com/OCzF9nesur
— Sky News (@SkyNews) August 8, 2019
The family have spoken out after police leading the investigation wouldn't rule out a "criminal element" in the search for Nóra.
The 15-year-old came to the resort on Saturday for a two-week holiday with her mum, her French father Sebastien and her younger siblings. The resort is roughly 63km from Kuala Lampur.
The family are based in London, but the teen apparently has an Irish passport. Her dad raised the alarm on Sunday at 8am after Nóra was not found in her room, and the family believe she was abducted.
Meabh and Sebastien insist that their daughter would never have wandered off on her own in the middle of the night.
Urgent. Please help and share. my niece (Nora Quoirin) has gone missing in Seremban an hour or so from KL in Malaysia. She is 15 with special needs, and hasn't been seen since everyone went to bed last night. pic.twitter.com/XeCjTVwGZp
— Aisling Agnew (@AislingAgnew) August 4, 2019
The police force analysed fingerprints found in a resort cottage from which Nóra was reported missing, with deputy police chief Che Zakaria Othman saying investigations were ongoing to identify the prints which were at an open living room window, rather than the bedroom where she was sleeping.
Police stated they were "not ruling out any possibility" and that they believed Nóra was still in the local area. While initial reports commented that Nóra's bedroom window was opened, the police have denied this.
Divers have been searching the river which runs through the forest, and helicopters have been deployed. Indigenous Orang Asli people are also aiding the search, and trackers from the Senoi Praaq special unit.
I'd like UK people to know that Malaysians are religious and spiritual. The police don't only investigate, but pray too, along with local residents, that missing British teen Nora Quoirin may be found safely soon. It's big news in Malaysia and all Malaysians are concerned. https://t.co/pZp2ox3qCQ
— Animah Kosai (@SpeakUpAtWork) August 9, 2019
Her family said in a statement: "We must remain hopeful. Nóra is still missing, and she is very vulnerable, and we need to do everything we can to bring her home."
Her relatives have expressed thanks to the Royal Malaysian Police, the search-and-rescue teams, and the emergency services "for all they have done for us in this difficult time".
They are "completely overwhelmed" by the support they have received worldwide and are appreciative of the assistance of French, British and Irish police.
There is no evidence of foul play, but police are ruling nothing out. Sniffer dogs haven't picked up a trace of the missing teen, and about 250 search-and-rescue personnel have taken part in the search.
A post shared by (@beritaharian) on Aug 7, 2019 at 8:42pm PDT
The Star newspaper in Malaysia assessed that the total number of people reported missing in the Malaysian jungle this year has been noticeably higher than the past three years.
Fire-and-rescue department operations director Abdul Wahab Mat Yasin said that since January, there were 252 cases of people reported lost.
In the past, the Malaysian authorities have been criticised for inaction on numerous cases, such as that of Malaysian-born Australian citizen Annapuranee Jenkins in 2017. She has never been found.

Gardaí investigating alleged attempted abduction in Meath
by Aoife Loughnane
Gardaí in Navan are investigating an alleged suspicious approach by a motorist to two children yesterday.
The incident took place around 4.25pm at Possextown near Nobber in Co Meath.
An aunt of the children posted to Facebook, warning other parent of the incident.
She wrote, ''Some old guy with longer, white beard and in a blueish vintage car," had stopped his car, then opened the door of it and "tried to abduct my niece and nephew walking to my house from theirs. They started running away so he drove off."
A spokesperson for the Gardaí confirmed that, ''Gardaí in Navan are investigating a report of an alleged suspicious approach on the 10/04/19 at approximately 5pm in Possextown, Nobbeer.''
They continued, ''A male described as being in his 50s is reported to have stopped and gestured two children to get in a car. No injuries and car reportedly drove off."
This incident comes just days after another alleged abduction in Co Kerry.
'I've been kidnapped' Backpacker raises alarm following abduction
A 24-year-old backpacker has made headlines this week after managing to initiate her own rescue following her abduction in Australia.
The female tourist, originally from Belgium, was abducted in Murraylands and subjected to a terrifying ordeal before managing to make contact with an acquaintance over 3,000 km away in Queensland.
According to Cosmopolitan, the young woman, who had her phone confiscated by her assailant, was driven to a remote farm house in the Adelaide town of Meningie before enduring multiple rapes at the hands of her abductor.
Thankfully, the 24-year-old managed to raise the alarm after secretly retrieving her laptop from her belongings and drafting a frantic message to the owner of the farm on which her friend was working.
The tourist, who has limited English, wrote: "I've been kidnapped, they've taken me out into the country two hours from Murray Bridge."
Offering further details into the message he received from the terrified tourist, farm owner, Chris Newman, said: "[It] described going over two ferries, [then it said] they've taken my phone, I've got my laptop out of my backpack and I've sent a message', or something like that."
In a courageous move, the young woman revealed the terrifying reality of her situation, adding: "I don't want to run away because he said he'll shoot me."
Following the tourist's desperate call for help, police in Adelaide launched a search before eventually locating the kidnapper's house.
According to reports, the victim's 52-year-old attacker has since been charged with three counts of rape and one count of unlawful detention.
Commenting on the crime, South Australia Premier, Jay Weatherill, said: "I hope this matter can be quickly investigated and the appropriate steps to bring the person to justice are taken."

Q: Simple search and replace without regex I've got a file with various wildcards in it that I want to be able to substitute from a (Bash) shell script. I've got the following which works great until one of the variables contains characters that are special to regexes:
VERSION="1.0"
perl -i -pe "s/VERSION/${VERSION}/g" txtfile.txt    # No problems here

APP_NAME="../../path/to/myapp"
perl -i -pe "s/APP_NAME/${APP_NAME}/g" txtfile.txt  # Error!

So instead I want something that just performs a literal text replacement rather than a regex. Are there any simple one-line invocations with Perl or another tool that will do this?

A: I don't particularly like this answer because there should be a better way to do a literal replace in Perl.  \Q is cryptic. Using quotemeta adds extra lines of code.
But...  You can use substr to replace a portion of a string.
#!/usr/bin/perl
my $name = "Jess.*";
my $sentence = "Hi, my name is Jess.*, dude.\n";
my $new_name = "Prince//";
my $name_idx = index $sentence, $name;
if ($name_idx >= 0) {
    substr($sentence, $name_idx, length($name), $new_name);
}
print $sentence;

Output:
Hi, my name is Prince//, dude.

A: You don't have to use a regular expression for this (using substr(), index(), and length()):
perl -pe '
  foreach $var ("VERSION", "APP_NAME") {
    while (($i = index($_, $var)) != -1) {
      substr($_, $i, length($var)) = $ENV{$var};
    }
  }
'

Make sure you export your variables.

A: The 'proper' way to do this is to escape the contents of the shell variables so that they aren't seen as special regex characters. You can do this in Perl with \Q, as in
s/APP_NAME/\Q${APP_NAME}/g

but when called from a shell script the backslash must be doubled to avoid it being lost, like so
perl -i -pe "s/APP_NAME/\\Q${APP_NAME}/g" txtfile.txt

But I suggest that it would be far easier to write the entire script in Perl

A: You can use a regex but escape any special characters.
Something like this may work.
APP_NAME="../../path/to/myapp"
APP_NAME=`echo "$APP_NAME" | sed -e '{s:/:\/:}'`
perl -i -pe "s/APP_NAME/${APP_NAME}/g" txtfile.txt

A: Use the following:
perl -i -pe "s|APP_NAME|\\Q${APP_NAME}|g" txtfile.txt

Since a vertical bar is not a legal character as part of a path, you are good to go.

A: Use:
 perl -i -pe "\$r = qq/\Q${APP_NAME}\E/; s/APP_NAME/\$r/go"

Rationale: Escape sequences

A: I managed to get a working solution, partly based on bits and pieces from other peoples' answers:
app_name='../../path/to/myapp'
perl -pe "\$r = q/${app_name//\//\\/}/; s/APP_NAME/\$r/g" <<<'APP_NAME'

This creates a Perl variable, $r, from the result of the shell parameter expansion:
${app_name//\//\\/}

${            # Open parameter expansion
app_name      # Variable name
//            # Start global substitution
\/            # Match / (backslash-escaped to avoid being interpreted as delimiter)
/             # Delimiter
\\/           # Replace with \/ (literal backslash needs to be escaped)
}             # Close parameter expansion

All that work is needed to prevent forward slashes inside the variable from being treated as Perl syntax, which would otherwise close the q// quotes around the string.
In the replacement part, use the variable $r (the $ is escaped, to prevent it from being treated as a shell variable within double quotes).
Testing it out:
$ app_name='../../path/to/myapp'
$ perl -pe "\$r = q/${app_name//\//\\/}/; s/APP_NAME/\$r/g" <<<'APP_NAME'
../../path/to/myapp

The lamination of PVC window profiles with decorative films is influenced by a variety of chemical and physical factors – especially in the reaction of the adhesive and primer systems which are used. KLEIBERIT offers decades of experience, know-how as well as a broad product range and continuously sets technical standards.
The KLEIBERIT product range focuses on the requirements of the new RAL GZ 716 as well as manufacturer requirements regarding faster and safer processing. Reactive hotmelt adhesives based on polyurethane (PUR) offer the most advantages and the best processing properties in combination with all RAL certified primers.
The requirements on adhesives and primer systems for wrapping aluminum window profiles are immense. KLEIBERIT offers a complete product range for all types of profiles and films, in addition to decades of experience. The KLEIBERIT product range focuses on the requirements of the new RAL GZ 716 as well as manufacturer requirements regarding faster and safer processing. The lamination of aluminum profiles requires suitable pre-treatment, e.g. powder coating, which is why suitable primer systems are necessary.
To increase the insulation properties, profiles can be filled with special polyurethane foams. This technology is relatively easy to use. During volume expansion, the 2 component PUR foam distributes evenly in the profile chambers.
Additional 2C PUR systems, depending on requirements.
Windows made from PVC or aluminum profile systems are frequently offered as systems which include window sills . This demands the same requirements and processing properties as for the lamination of window profiles – very good hydrolysis / thermolysis properties as well as high aging resistance.
In the lamination of PVC window profiles, different types of adhesive systems can be used, e.g. solvent based adhesives in combination with hardeners or hotmelt adhesives (thermoplastic, reactive PUR systems).
If the interior side of the PVC profile is also laminated, the same requirement properties concerning process and quality aspects apply to the adhesive / primer systems as for exterior applications and orientation to the RAL GZ 716.

The ability to coat roll materials with the HotCoating technology enables new design possibilities with excellent quality for window sill lamination. Extremely high wear and shock resistance is especially important for this application, similar to flooring.

Went to an Airshow today and the Thunderbirds were the Demo team finale and about 4 manuevers into the show, #4 had to land IFE. They suspended the show while one of the opposing solos lead him in and he landed without incident and was met by all the Fire Support. The five other planes just kind of flew around in the distance for about 15 minutes until they cleared #4 off the runway and then they attempted to resume the show sans one aircraft but it was kind of lame for the rest of the show. Kind of hard doing all the "Diamond Formation" stuff with only three planes. I know as well as anybody about planes breaking but in the 30+ years watching them (T-birds, Blue Angels, Red Arrows, Snow Birds, etc.) I can't ever remember anything like that happening.
The show announcer didn't say anything about the reason?
At Salinas one year, the Snowbirds had one of their planes hit a bird, so it landed for a checkup. Then they resumed the show.
No she just calmly said that #4 had a problem making necessary for him to land then she went on for a while about the pilot's training to handle situations like this and how they were following the proper procedures to have him land safely. It must have been serious enough for him to shut down at the end of the runway and need to be towed off. Most IFEs they err on the side of caution but can usually taxi back into the chocks no problem.
I imagine their maintenance is top-notch, but don't they fly some of the oldest F-16s?, or did they switch to-C models?
Yeah they're flying Block 52s now but I believe they're pretty stripped down to just NAV stuff they need to perform.
During a display of the USN Blue Angels at Leeuwarden, the Netherlands in 2006. One of the F-18's punctured a tire during take-off, the aircraft calmly returned to base with arrestor hook deployed. Made a arrested landing at the beginning of the runway, pilot got out of the aircraft, got into a van and was dropped at the spare aircraft. In the meantime the "punctured" F-18 was pulled from the runway, and 10 minutes later the spare F-18 was already in take-off. After this the show continued as planned. With this action the Blues showed to me that they are a real professional display team with balls, and keeping in mind that the show has to go on. Instead of cancelling the whole display, or flying a display with less aircraft as planned.
TB, well I'd imagine, somewhere on the web somebody must have posted more info on that IFE.
Regarding the BA at EHLW, I'd rather had them fly with one less aircraft, as I remember it took ages because the runway needed to be swept first, and then the spare had to hook up with the remainder of the formation. Looking at my photos, it took 40 minutes altogether. I can't remember if something was supposed to fly after them, but if there was, it was cancelled. Nevertheless I was happy the show did go on, and the display was amazing (but next day had better weather, and no puncture).
In my mind it was only a short time the BA F-18 was again in take-off, but you have photographic evidence, and can recall the exact time. The Blues was the final display of that day, but I was happy they took the time to get the spare into the air. It makes the show so much nicer and larger with more "bugs" in the air.
Yeah it was the last act for the day, looking at Saturday there was nothing that followed them and it also ended around 1630 hrs. I thought last display had always been 1630-1700 hrs, but apparently that's only in recent years. So nvm, glad they got the spare up.
I found some comments on the web. It was a hydraulic failure, it apparently landed without brakes (but runway was long enough to manage without hook/cable), and someone said there was a large puddle of hydraulic fluids under the jet. So that explains the emergency services and towing.
Would the wheelbrakes still be fine if it was the airbrake?
Thanks Niels! That does explain everything.
Your airbrake joke reminds me of Bugs Bunny using the "airbrake" and stopping the plane about 5 feet from the ground then jumping out. If only.
It was not a joke though. I'm not a mechanical guy. If there's an issue with the hydraulics, would that mean both type of brakes have issues? Or are they completely seperate circuits?
Sorry, I thought you were kidding.
Modern aircraft have multiple and redundant Hydraulic systems that allowed him to land safely despite having a leak. I assume the F-18 airbrake would be a separate system than the wheel brakes. Flight controls are in the Primary system and peripheral systems are in the Secondary system. Emergency procedures allow for systems to be isolated in the event of a leak or failure. These systems operate at 3000+ psi and can empty the system quickly if not isolated.

There are some veggies listed out that are the best to be eating, especially during induction. I'm wondering if anyone knows of some that would be good to add to a roast instead of the standard potatoes and carrots.
Doing well so far - on day 6 and I've lost 5 pounds already!!! Figured I have about 77 more to go, but hey, I'm started!
The goodone is brocolli, as its low in GI, high in vitamins and pretty low in carbs !!
Oooh yes make a broccoli, cauliflower and cheese bake. The recipe should be here in the forums, makes a big batch so great for leftovers.
Mix up and pour over broccoli/cauli and cook in over for around 40mins.
wow - good recipe....ill be sure to try that one out myself !!!
another fave is a zucchini, onion, tomato bake, with cheese ontop. you add garlic and a little water, layer the other 3 vegies, grate chees on top and bake. very yummy (haven't worked out carbs to that yet sorry).
I had roasted eggplant on the weekend and that was really nice as well. Dont know the carb count though but am assuming it cant be much as it is on the approved vege list I think.
Obviously it will be a little more if roasted though.
Thanks everyone! While I didn't get replies soon enough for last nights dinner, I will be putting the info away for later. Didn't end up using veggies in the roast. Did sautee some sliced zucchini with a small can of sliced mushrooms - all in bacon grease. Yum! Overcooked it I think - especially since Atkins says the best way to eat the veggies is as close to raw as you can get. At least that is what I got out of it. But, I don't do raw veggies.
Will have to try the veggie bake - so far I've been steaming broc and cauliflower and shredding mozarella ?? and chedder cheese over it. Not bad and easy.
Will be interested in trying turnips - I've got bad visions of them with rabbits for some reason, but maybe in a roast!
Looks like I've come down with a cold this morning - wonderful. Hopefully the Atkins vitamins I started last night will help. Using the Basic 3.

Asset Maintenance
Eskom to take Koeberg nuclear power plant Unit 2 off the grid
Koeberg nuclear power plant.
In South Africa, Eskom plans on doubling its maintenance efforts including taking Unit 2 of its nuclear power plant off the grid for a month.
The state-owned utility reports a significant reduction in demand for electricity as the COVID-19 national lockdown takes full effect.
South African news
Nuclear Power insights
Electricity usage has dropped by between 7,500MW and 9,000MW since the lockdown came into effect last week. This has allowed Eskom to operate without the need to implement loadshedding.
As such, the utility is making use of the opportunity of the low demand to carry out important short-term maintenance of its generation infrastructure.
"We have increased planned maintenance to 9,032MW, while unplanned outages or breakdowns have been reduced to 8,572MW as at 16:10 on Wednesday [1 April]," announced Eskom in a statement.
These figures compare to the planned maintenance of 4,256MW and unplanned outages or breakdowns of 12,175MW on 25 March 2020, the last day before the national lockdown.
Koeberg Unit 2 part of planned maintenance
In order to protect the integrity of the system, Eskom has taken some generation units offline.
"From midnight on Friday, 3 April 2020, we will add Koeberg Unit 2 to these units, which are all available to return to service at short notice should the need arise. Koeberg Unit 2 is scheduled to return to service by 30 April 2020, if not called before then," said Eskom.
Furthermore, the utility explained that as part of protecting the integrity of the power system, Eskom has also issued force majeure notices to the wind independent power producers.
"These notices serve to alert the wind IPPs of the possibility that Eskom may from time to time curtail their supply to the grid during the national lockdown. Should this remote possibility happen, the IPPs will be afforded one day of relief for every day, or part thereof, of lost production. This will ensure none of the wind IPPs are worse off than before the force majeure."
"Last week the Eskom Single Buyer Office sent a letter to all operating Independent Power Producers to confirm that the categorisation of essential services only applies to facilities currently in operation," says @futhigirl, CEO of @_sawea #LockdownSA https://t.co/23fNfEFLfC

Emerging designers in the region are engaging with traditional heritage in new ways. The Human-Centred Design method has been used by Banafsajeel (a curatorial platform) and 1971 (new design space in Sharjah) to better understand this creative movement and to facilitate it moving forward. Project leaders, Noor AlDabbagh and Dana Al Sadek, shed light on ways that traditional heritage is getting reinvented in the Gulf, and showcased two local examples with different perspectives.
This talk was preceded by a hands-on workshop where 38 participants learned the HCD method for themselves.
Noor AlDabbagh is the founder of Banafsajeel, a curatorial platform that engages artists and designers through collaborative projects and creative learning experiences. She graduated from Harvard with an honors degree in Visual Studies and obtained her MA in Art Business from the Sotheby's Institute of Art in London. Banafsajeel's theme for this year is Reinventing Heritage, focusing on designers drawing inspiration from traditions in the Gulf.
Dana AlSadek is Public Programme Manager at the Maraya Art Centre and 1971 Design Space. She works alongside guest curators, artists, filmmakers and arts educators on curating contemporary exhibitions and public programmes. She holds an MA in Law, Development and Globalisation from SOAS in London and a BA in Business Administration from the American University of Beirut. Dana is also the organiser of Pecha Kucha Nights Sharjah, a member of Global Shapers Dubai Hub and co-founder of Reel Palestine, a Palestinian pop-up film festival.
Zainab Al hashemi is a Dubai-based conceptual artist focusing on what she calls 'construction design art'. She employs design solutions in her work, such as in her truss.t installation featured this year in Dubai Design Week. Zeinab completed a residency at the Delfina Foundation in London this past summer, and has participated in previous years in a number of locally based programmes such as A.i.R Dubai 2012. She obtained her BA in Multimedia Design at Zayed University, and since then has exhibited her work in Dubai, Sharjah, Beijing and Washington DC.
Hamad Khoory is an architect and partner at the Dubai-based studio Loci Architecture + Design, who designed the 'Abwab' pavilions at Dubai Design Week this year. Hamad completed his BA in architecture (BArch '08) and his Masters in architecture degree with a concentration in design & research (MArch '09) both at the Wentworth Institute of Technology, between Boston-USA & Berlin-Germany. His experience in multinational companies includes W.S Atkins and RMJM as well as Ruy Ohtake Arquitetura e Urbanismo in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Human-Centred Design (HCD) is a creative approach to problem-solving that focuses on the people designers are designing for, and that results in tailor-made solutions based on people's needs. Participants in this workshop learned the basics of HCD, to help in their own organisation, project or field. In this fun, fast-paced crash course they did the HCD process, in order to consider applying it to their own projects or organisations. This workshop was followed by a public talk presenting a case study on utilising HCD to benefit emerging designers in the Gulf: the Reinventing Heritage project by Banafsajeel.
Beth Yoder is managing partner at Global Teams, based in Dubai and operating globally. She has been facilitating engaging and creative intercultural learning and development for individuals and organizations for almost 20 years. She completed her MA in Intercultural Relations and has been a returning fellow at the Summer Institute for Intercultural Communication since 2005.

Home / Mobile Phone & Accessories / 7 Common Scams We're Still Falling For
7 Common Scams We're Still Falling For
Posted on August 29, 2017 by mrlus in Mobile Phone & Accessories
The other day, I received an SMS from Uber containing a two-factor authentication code that I hadn't asked for. Panicked by the prospect that someone was trying to hack an account that stores my credit card details, I embarked on a flurry of password-changing, starting with my Outlook.com account—where I found an email from PayPal informing me that my account had been compromised. Now doubly panicked, I clicked the enclosed link to log in and change my password, and was about to enter the last character of my current password when I glanced at the URL in the toolbar—it didn't say paypal.com.
As a relatively tech-savvy person who writes about internet security, I'd nonetheless been the target of two nearly successful scams in the space of an hour—what gives?
"Cybercrime is growing, and one of the biggest areas is credential-stealing—the theft of someone's login details," says Jon Clay, director of global threat communications, Trend Micro. Login credentials are valuable—and to obtain them, cyber criminals try to infect users' machines with threats such as trojans that can spy on all activity on a computer, keyloggers, which can track inputted characters, or spoof screens that invite unwitting users to voluntarily give up their username and password (known as phishing). Once criminals have these details, they can not only breach the account in question, but potentially set into motion a daisy chain of account breaches that could lead to identity theft.
"In the vast majority of cases, cyber criminals are trying to obtain money," Clay says. Ransomware is a form of malware that entirely bypasses credential-stealing to encrypt a user's device, rendering it and its files inaccessible unless a ransom is paid. And the use of ransomware is skyrocketing. Symantec found that the average ransom demanded in such attacks in 2016 was $1066 per person—266% higher than the year before—while on mobile, ransomware attacks have risen by 250%.
Cyber threats, from ransomware to spy software to phishing attempts on valuable logins, commonly gain access to users' devices when users unknowingly click a malicious link in an email, on a webpage or in an online ad. The increasing availability of personal information online via sites such as LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook means that scammers are getting more precise at social engineering—manipulating people to click on malicious links or give up personal information by using seasonal cues, current events or, more insidiously, facts gleaned from their public profiles.
"Social engineering is all about exploiting users' irrational behavior," says Rahul Telang, professor of information systems and management at Carnegie Mellon University, who's currently working on a project examining consumers' security and privacy behavior. "You may know something is too good to be true—that winning lottery ticket, a get-rich-fast plan, a chance to meet your life partner—but the rewards are so high, you think, why not try?"
The chance of making such a cognitive error rises when scammers use language or make offers designed to appeal to our specific circumstances—or when we aren't on guard.
Scammers love email
We all know what spam email looks like—it's the stuff that our email filters normally catch, with subject lines that use our email handle as a first name, notify us of vast lottery winnings or offer various bodily enhancements. But spam filters have gotten so sophisticated that when an email does slip past—as with my PayPal spoof email—we're not necessarily in the right frame of mind to catch it.
"The most common ways cyber criminals can get to you is through your email," Telung says. "When you're checking your emails, even if you're not interested in shopping, if an email says you've got this great deal, you're likely to click."
Scammers' psychological tricks can even include the time of day. "There are many cases where spam is sent at certain times of day when people are less likely to be diligent, such as in the morning," Clay says.
Subject: "Your account has been compromised!"
Spoof emails from financial accounts are on the rise, and this scam targets the rising fear of the consequences of hacked bank (or PayPal) accounts by claiming an account has already been hacked. Users are then exhorted to protect their account by clicking a link to change their password—except they're really taken to a bogus screen that records login details, sending them straight to hackers, who now have access to a previously safe account.
"We are seeing phishing as a big one to steal credentials," Clay says. "In most cases, the link pops up a phishing screen to get details, or downloads a banking trojan that contains a keylogger or runs scripts to transfer funds out of the account."
Subject: "Please check your tax return"
Around tax season, scam emails appearing to be from the IRS tend to make the rounds, says Clay—usually with a request for your personal information or for taxes associated with a large sum of money you've mysteriously come into. These links end up taking users to a phishing screen or a malware download that gives the criminal access to the victim's computer. "Financial scams are often successful because people are concerned about their finances, and if they receive an email about an audit, or their taxes, they tend to take action," Clay says.
Seasonal spam
Holidays can also bring on a wave of seasonal spam, ranging from shopping discounts, which, in a sea of similar promotions from your favorite retailers, can be hard to spot, to greeting cards from email addresses that appear to belong to friends or family.
"Black Friday is a big one. You might see scam emails offering links to a 50% off coupon," Clay says.
Emails from friends
You may have received an email from a friend purporting to be in trouble overseas and in need of cash, recommending you donate to their favorite charity, or, in a particularly virulent phishing scam earlier this year, with a link to a Google Docs document that led to a Google sign-in page and request to authorize "Google Docs" for email—which would give the scammers control of the user's account.
"Criminals are getting smarter [about getting] access to your social network data," Telung says. "It's easier for them to impersonate someone close to you and send an email that you're more likely to trust."
Be very wary of any email that tries to get you to click on a link or open an attachment, especially if it involves some urgency, Clay says, such as a breached account or friend in distress. Stoking panic is one way of pushing users into a state of mind when they may be less vigilant about looking for signs of fraud.
If you're on a computer, hover the cursor over a link you're being asked to click, and check the bottom left of your browser window—you should see the true URL you'll be directed to.
Check with your financial institutions for guidelines describing the type of communication you can expect. For example, the IRS doesn't initiate contact to request personal or financial information, while PayPal emails always address the recipient by first and last name—which my spoof email did not.
Bad ads on good sites
Nobody loves online ads, but the last year has seen a spike in the prevalence of "malvertising," malware-ridden ads that redirect browsers to phishing sites or sites that serve more malware.
"A lot of people still click on ads. Criminals are now targeting legitimate websites with malvertisements designed around current news events or the time of year—such as tax time, Christmas, Black Friday—that invite users to click a link that ends up infecting their computer with malware or ransomware," Clay says.
Because of the way online ads are served via third-party automatic platforms, websites' security controls usually can't detect or block malvertisements. Like online ads, which appear to certain users based on their past browsing, malvertisements can be targeted to particular profiles and times of year, making it all the more likely that an unsuspecting user will click on an appealing offer, especially when the ad appears on a trusted site, such as The New York Times, Newsweek and MSN—all of which were hit by a major malvertisment attack last year.
In many cases, users don't need to click on the ads to be infected: Malicious script can run as soon as the ads loads—an attack known as a drive-by download.
1. Download all security patches for your OS, browser and other programs. Malware works by targeting security holes in browsers and plugins, most notably Flash or Java—both of which are notoriously full of vulnerabilities. If your systems are up to date, malware has a lesser chance of slipping in undetected.
2. Enable "click-to-play" for plugins such as Flash and Java. This stops plugins from automatically running page elements, including ads, until you click them. You can find this in your browser's Settings menu, under Plugins.
3. Uninstall plugins you don't use. The more plugins, the more potential vulnerabilities there are for a drive-by download to target. Websites are increasingly eschewing Java, for example, and Microsoft's Silverlight plugin, once essential for Netflix and some radio stations' "listen online" options, is also far less prevalent.
Finally, "avoid clicking on things you weren't looking for," advises Telung.
Unsolicited two-factor authentication texts
Many accounts, from banks to Gmail, use two-factor authentication to protect users' data by requesting a code, often sent by SMS, in addition to a password. However, researchers recently demonstrated that it's possible for scammers to spoof these texts.
In the scam, the criminals try to log into the account—or change the password—which would trigger the SMS code to be sent, as occurred with my Uber account. After that, a second—spoofed—SMS requests that the user reply with the code to confirm that the account is theirs—thus delivering the authentication code into the hands of the hackers.
1. If you haven't tried to log into your account or change your password, ignore such texts.
2. Never reply to these texts with the authentication code or any other login details.
3. Change your password.
4. Where the accounts support it, change the code delivery method from SMS to an authenticator app, such as the ones used by Gmail and Outlook.
The 80% off sale
Whether it's free business-class flights to Australia or a clearance sale on totally authentic designer sunglasses, scams circulated via Facebook were the most common online attack method in 2016, according to Cisco's annual security report.
One prevalent scam involves spoof pages for trusted brands advertising unbelievable sales, which are shared by unsuspecting Facebook users. These ads then appear in their friends' feeds—and because it appears as a recommendation by someone they know, they're all the more likely to click through. The links may lead to phishing sites that make a play for credit card details, or to legitimate-looking online shops where victims end up purchasing counterfeit goods.
1. Look up the website or company name—often, if it's a scam, others will have fallen prey and posted about it on site-review websites such as Trustpilot or Reviewcentre.
2. Look up the URL registration at Whois.net, which will tell you how long the domain has been active, among other details that should give you an idea of whether the site is legitimate.
3. If the site appears trustworthy, make sure the transaction is done over a secure (https) connection.
4. Use a credit card, not a debit card—credit transactions can be reversed by banks in case of fraud.
Securing the digital gates
Awareness about cyber fraud can go a long way to avoiding malicious links and sites, but as scams become more sophisticated, internet users will need to be increasingly dependent on software providers that can detect an ever-evolving array of cyber threats.
"Criminals are really starting to target legitimate websites with malvertising, redirects to bad sites, and malicious scripts that download malware as soon as the site loads," Clay says. Where human error is still the "in" for most cybercrime, the rise of threats such as malvertising and drive-by downloads that can infect a user's computer with barely any interaction means that strong security software is more crucial than ever.
"Cyber security is a war between scammers trying to figure out how to get into your machine and the security companies trying to stop them—and the user is just in the middle," Telung says. "At some level, the game can be so sophisticated, even well-informed people may not be able to avoid being scammed. Users just have to hope they have the tools to prevent attacks."
Those tools include a comprehensive security program with advanced features such as firewall, phishing detection and website scanning to flag potentially dangerous destinations. As Clay notes, cyber security is no longer just about blocking viruses.

Décision relative au coronavirus


On Jan. 30, Nominating Committee Chairwoman Katie Smarilli sent Smith a letter explaining that he had not been "approved" for the election.
There are 10 seats up for grabs on the 86 member council, with 30 candidates in the running.
Smith said there is "no justification" for his name to not be included in the running.
According to the complaint, Smith has tried to address the issue without going to court without success.
Smith is not the only excluded candidate.
Four alumni-elected trustees (Anthony Lubrano, Bill Oldsey, Ted Brown and Alice Pope) were dismissed from contention, as was former assistant football coach Jay Paterno.
Alumni council member Deborah Beidel, who was critical of the committee's decision, said in January that there were seven other potential candidates, most of whom were part of the watchdog group Penn Staters for Responsible Stewardship.
Smith also submitted a petition for a preliminary injunction that would place his name, and those of the other potential candidates, on the ballot.
The PSSA elections take place May 12-31 and results are announced June 1.


What Is The Best Tool To Use For Facebook Analytics?
Actually, Facebook Insights is an incredibly useful tool for determining the proper direction and performance of your brand's Facebook profile. Want more facebook post likes? There are many useful metrics within Facebook Insights and some that you should entirely ignore.
The Post engagement metric tells you the number of people who have interacted with (Liked, Commented or Shared) one of your Posts. It also identifies Post Clicks, but your CTR (see below) covers this variable far more effectively.
Having many people see your content (Reach) is largely meaningless if they don't interact with it. Engagement is the only measurable sign of your audience responding.
This number gives you a way to compare Posts across the board. Without it you won't know if good Engagement on a specific Post is due to the quality of your content, or if it was simply seen by more people.
The Engagement Demographic graph tells you the age and gender of the Facebook users who engaged with your Posts.
The People Engaged metric is vital to ensure your content is reaching your target audience.
While it's important to know the Engagement of your Posts, your bottom line is knowing how many people were interested in your content enough to act on your Calls-to-Action.

Sandy Brechin grew up in Kirkliston, West Lothian and has been playing the accordion for twenty years. In fact, he has been playing the same accordion (albeit with a few minor repairs) for the last twenty years! He was taught by the late Chrissie Leatham, in Edinburgh, and also by her son, Owen Murray, who is now Professor of Accordion at the Royal Academy of Music in London. He has developed his own unique approach to the art of accordion playing and his innovative style is instantly recognisable.
"This man is going to make a big impact on the traditional and not-so-traditional music scenes with his funky accordion, catchy compositions and refreshing personality. Spirited powerful playing of equally spirited and powerful tunes" - The Scots Magazine
Over the years, Sandy has played in many bands, but is probably best known for his work with the Scottish bands, Bùrach and Seelyhoo, with whom he has toured extensively in Europe, Canada, the USA, and the Far East. A frequent guest on radio and television, Sandy is also in much demand as a session musician, having recorded on several CDs outwith his own groups' recordings. Also known as a talented writer, some of his compositions have been published and others recorded by bands like "The Iron Horse". On the rare occasions when he is not touring with the bands, he still plays for ceilidh dances with his own hugely popular electric ceilidh band, "The Sensational Jimi Shandrix Experience".
In February 1997, Sandy played on the National Lottery Show Live in the final of The Great British Song Contest, the competition run by Jonathan King to select Britain's entry for the Eurovision Song contest 1997, as part of the band "Do Re Mi, with Kerry". The song was called "Yodel in the Canyon of Love", and aroused a great deal of interest at the time, because of its quirky nature! The British public voted for the winning entry by telephone poll, and Yodel was just pipped at the post by Katrina And The Waves, who then went on to win Eurovision. However, Yodel was released on the Polygram label later in 1997 and was voted favourite album of 1997 by one of the pundits on American music magazine, Billboard.
In 1998, Sandy toured the Faroe Islands again, playing with the Faroese version of "The Sandy Brechin Band", made several tours to the South of Spain and Sandy and Colin performed on the Gaelic Television programme, "Tacsi", with members of Capercaillie, Relativity and Shooglenifty. The Sandy Brechin Band also played a double bill with Capercaillie in August 1998 in Guingamp Celtic Festival in Brittany, and toured Iceland for the first time in July 1999, performing at the Reykjavik Accordion Festival, and on Icelandic radio and TV. In February 1999, Sandy toured the USA and Canada, along with concertina players Alistair Anderson and Niall Vallely, on the "Twice Upon a Squeezebox" tour. In July 1999, Sandy played solo at Kaustinen Folk Festival in Finland, in a series of concerts sponsored by the British Council.
Sandy is also well known as a teacher of accordion. He has taught at many workshops, such as the Edinburgh Feis ( a Scottish traditional music workshop for children), "Folkworks" music workshop in Durham, and "The Youth Gaitherin'" workshop in Edinburgh. He has produced two acclaimed DVDs Play Scottish Accordion Beginners and Intermediate as well as a book of his tunes "Out of His Mind".

Poll Finds That Most Students at Golda Och Academy are Not Worried About North Korean Threats
Samantha Rigante '21
Despite increasingly frightening rhetoric by President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un, most Golda Och Academy students say they are not afraid of a North Korean threat to bomb the U.S. mainland.
The majority of students at GOA disagree with President Trump's handling of the North Korean situation and most are not worried about North Korean threats to bomb the United States, a new poll finds. More than 50 percent of the students – 62 percent – believe that North Korea will not follow through on its threats to send nuclear missiles over to the U.S. mainland if so prompted.
The United States's relationship with North Korea was never good, and the conflict became worse when President Trump took office. Trump's language has been harsher than past presidents regarding the conflict and he has issued many more threats to them. On January 2, 18 days before his inauguration, he stated that "North Korea just stated that it is in the final stages of developing a nuclear weapon capable of reaching parts of the U.S. It won't happen!"
On February 11, North Korea tested their first Inter-Continental Ballistic Missile under the Trump administration. This brought harsh reactions from Trump and his administration, with their threats getting more dangerous as the missile tests increased.
This poll comes in the midst of fiery new tensions between North Korea and the United States. On October 7, President Trump tweeted that "Only one thing will work!" with North Korea and that "Presidents and their administrations have been talking to North Korea for 25 years.. Sorry, but only one thing will work!"
Two days after that, on October 9, the President again took to Twitter to voice his opinion, claiming that "Our country has been unsuccessfully dealing with North Korea for 25 years, giving billions of dollars and getting nothing. Policy didn't work!"
Out of 16 students interviewed – of which ten identified as Democrat, four Independent and two Republican – the poll found that feelings on the issue were not partisan, with GOA Independents, Democrats and Republicans expressing a lack of fear regarding the threats.
"It's really not that scary to me," freshman Aaron Gutterman. "North Korea is far away and Kim-Jong Un is just trying to scare Americans because he doesn't like them."
The poll, taken by students ranging from grades nine to 12, also shows a large majority disagree with the President's handling of the issue. Again, party lines were not evident here, with both Independents, Democrats and Republicans disapproving of the President's handling of the situation.
"I think that the President doesn't have a good understanding of the situation," freshman Marin Gold said. "I also think he doesn't really understand the consequences of his actions."
Ninety one percent of the students believed that a diplomatic solution was the correct response to the North Korean threats. No one prefered a military solution, and only one student had no opinion on the subject. On all issues, every grade felt similarly.
Trump's feud extends to his cabinet, top military generals and Congress. On September 26, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff – a board of senior generals who advise the President, the Military Department and Homeland Security on issues pertaining to the military – told Congress that his views on the North Korean issue are the same as the State Department's and Congress' rather than the President's.
Rex Tillerson, Trump's Secretary of State, is attempting to start talks with North Korean diplomats in hopes of finding a peaceful solution to the issue.

Black Hebdo est un journal hebdomadaire français, paru en 1976, destiné aux Français noirs d'ascendance antillaise et africaine.

Historique
Premier journal s'adressant à la diaspora noire de France, il fut créé en 1976 par le producteur et journaliste originaire des Antilles, Gésip Légitimus ( - ), le comédien Ibu et le journaliste camerounais Pierre Coula ( - ).

Le jour de la finale Saint-Étienne-Rennes, Black Hebdo s'offre une promotion exceptionnelle qui surprend tout Paris : avant et pendant le match, un immense ballon gonflable ovale survole doucement le ciel de Paris au-dessus de Boulogne et du Parc des Princes dans le  où se joue le match. Sur ses flancs est apposée la photo d'un bel enfant métis portant sur sa tête le casque gaulois. On peut y lire : « Le journal du monde noir ». Le match est reporté par Europe 1. À chaque intermède, la radio ponctue : Si tous les Français avaient les mêmes ancêtres, ils auraient les mêmes lectures… Black Hebdo, le journal du monde noir !

Le groupe noir américain de presse, éditeur du magazine Ebony s'était intéressé au projet Black Hebdo. L'une des actions de ce groupe était le financement de cette campagne de promotion parfaitement réussie.

La campagne promotionnelle de Black Hebdo inquiéta la classe politique française qui exigeait des réponses aux questions suivantes : « que revendiquent ces Africains et Antillais réunis autour d'un projet éditorial soutenu par les Afro-Américains ? Ont-ils une ambition politique ? D'où provient leur financement ? ».

Alors que Pierre Coula recevait la visite des Renseignements généraux, le groupe antillais Kassav, au zénith de sa gloire, convaincu par le journaliste Gésip Légitimus, s'intéressa au journal. Silvère Samba, soixante-huitard gauchiste et organisateur professionnel hors pair fut appelé à la rédaction graphique.

Dans les jours suivant la campagne promotionnelle de Black Hebdo, le ministère de l'Intérieur français s'abonna au journal, en dizaines d'exemplaires afin, sans doute, de maîtriser la ligne éditoriale de cette publication insolite dont le slogan indisposait clairement les autorités.

Une nuit du mois de , un attentat à la bombe au sein des locaux du journal, rue de Trévise, dans le  de Paris, détruisit le matériel de travail.

Tandis que les enquêtes s'organisaient autour du drame, le contrôle fiscal sollicita les cahiers comptables. Le lendemain, un collectif de personnes physiques et morales de la rue de Trévise porta plainte contre le journal pour « trouble de jouissance » ; la commission paritaire s'enquit de savoir si Black Hebdo était en règle…

Black Hebdo aura vécu peu de temps, mais la disparition de cet hebdomadaire laissera un vide dans le monde noir de l'Hexagone. Il avait eu le temps de fédérer des mentalités autour d'une pensée : appartenir à la communauté noire, tout en étant disséminés à travers les continents, se façonner sans complexe un dessein, revendiquer le droit à la différence.

Since 1999 Healing Today Reiki Masters have attuned thousands of Reiki students all over the USA. Our group classes have been attended by healthcare workers (Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, RNs, LPNs, Physical Therapists, Dietitians, Massage Therapists), clergy, office workers, tradesmen, and others from all walks of life. Reiki is traditionally taught at three levels. The first class, known as Reiki level 1, teaches the student the basics of energy healing for self and others. Despite all that is accomplished with Reiki, it is a natural process, therefore easy to learn. No prior experience in health care or natural healing is required. The workshops are fun, very casual and beneficial to people of all ages and backgrounds. The Reiki level 2 class teaches the student techniques of distance healing. Also at this level the student is taught the Reiki symbols. The Reiki level 3 class is the Master/teacher level. At this level the student is taught the attunement process and the basics for teaching Reiki to others. The level 3 attunement is a wonderful experience and is highly recommended even if the student has no desire to ever actually teach Reiki to others. For more info please email to; info@healingtoday.com or call 813-748-0761. To learn more about Reiki please visit; Healing Today Reiki or Reiki FAQ.
A Reiki level 1 class will be held on Saturday, January 12, near the junction of I-526 and US-17 (Savannah Hwy.) in Charleston, 29407. The classes are limited in size and must be pre-registered. Directions are sent with confirmation.
The training is for traditional Usui Reiki. The student is taught the basics of Reiki including the hand positions for self healing and for the practice with others. The total cost for level 1 is $85.00 and includes attunement, handout, and certification. At the end of class you will receive your certificate.
The class will be taught by Richard Fiallo, Reiki Master. Richard has been teaching and sharing Reiki with others since 1999 and has personally attuned over 8,000 different students. The classes are always fun, informative, and include lots of hands-on experience.
The level 1 class will be from 10am-3pm. See below for info on level 2 class.
A scheduled group workshop for level 2 will be held on Saturday, January 12, near the junction of I-526 and US-17 (Savannah Hwy.) in Charleston, 29407. The classes are limited in size and must be pre-registered. Directions are sent with confirmation.
The class will be from 3pm-6pm.
This is an all inclusive 1 day class. At the end of the day you will leave with your certificate. The level 2 class is open to anyone who has previously completed level 1. The cost for level 2 is $95.00 and includes attunement, handout, and certification.
We realize that many students drive a long distance to attend these Reiki classes so we now offer the Level 1 and Level 2 classes at different times so that the student may take both classes on the same day. Of course this is the student's option. If you would like to take the Level 1 and Level 2 classes on the same day simply register for both.
A Reiki level 3 (Reiki Master) class will be held on Sunday, January 13, near the junction of I-526 and US-17 (Savannah Hwy.) in Charleston, 29407. The classes are limited in size and must be pre-registered. Directions are sent with confirmation.
This is an all inclusive 1 day class. At the end of the day you will leave with your certificate. The class will be from 10am-3pm. The level 3 class is open to anyone who has previously completed level 1 and level 2. The cost for level 3 is $185.00 and includes attunement, handout, and certification.
The level 3 class in Traditional Usui Reiki is the Reiki Master/Teacher level. At this class the student is taught how to pass attunements to others and the basics for teaching Reiki to others. The class is always small for individual instruction.
We often get students for Level 3 who have taken their Level 1 and Level 2 class with another teacher and that is quite alright. Please bring with you a copy of your level 2 certificate or the name of your teacher and register for only the Reiki 3 class.
Please note: Group classes are limited in size and all seats are reserved. If you are unable to attend please notify Healing Today at least 48 hours before class. You may reschedule class for next class offered. No cash refunds.
Healing Today Reiki Masters have provided Reiki Training to thousands of students throughout the USA. We are proud that many of these students are using Reiki on a regular basis in their personal and professional lives. Here are some photos and comments.
Reiki is wonderful for self healing and also very beneficial to friends, family, pets and livestock.
