In the Oct. 13, 2010 video which is now going viral, Dr. David Janda quickly and succinctly explains in language all those on the left and right can understand, exactly what is wrong with the Stimulus Bill and the Healthcare Bill. It's only 6 minutes - watch it, get up to speed with the facts of the issue, and then tell your friends in time for voting on Nov 2.
David says, "We're going to lose 46% of physicians, including me. I cannot walk into a room Jan. 1st 2013 and lie to the very people I've been helping for the last 30 years. I won't do it."
He stated the truth but some people who are good people just do not seem to get it. I do not know why and I worry for them. We must choose the right people to lead our country out of this social/commie/one world government and if we do not succeed there will be no turning back, America will be gone and so will your freedom to do or say anything.
And after it is repealed and Obama is voted out...him and every other "progressive" traitor to America and our Constitution need to be tried and executed. Just about every thing they do is treasonous. Time to start calling it what it is.
Dr. Janda mentions his colleague Dr. Rob Steele, who's running against the UAW puppet John Dingell. It's a tough battle against that union machine.
1. Make Bush tax cuts permanent.
2. Repeal Obamacare. Then deregulate consumption of healthcare and free up the healthcare & insurance markets.
3. Repeal Cap & Trade. Disband the EPA or at the very least, get it on a leash and stop it from imposing Cap & Trade by exec order.
5. Find a way to raise the bar on all new legislation. We're paying 636 people to make laws and guess what? They keep making new laws, which erode our freedom and liberty. STOP! Maybe the job of legislator should become part-time. Like 3 months/year.
Been reading a book, Prosperity's Predator, talks about this type of stuff and lots more, and why it happans. This is just one thing out of hundreds.

St. Jarlath's College has produced a yearly musical known as the Opera for the locals of Tuam since 1944, making it one of the longest continually running amateur shows in Ireland. While debating has a long history in the College, with the original Students' Debating Society being organised in 1972, it had fallen into decline in recent years. In 2008 however, Jarlath's teachers Ms Brighid Cannon and Ms Eilis Flanagan helped organise a group of leaving cert students into a small Literary and Debating Society. Read about the Gaisce, Presidents award for Transition Years in St. Jarlaths. Music has forever been an important part of life in Tuam, especially in the schools. Back in the days of boarding in Jarlath's, student bands were among the most popular extracurricular activities for students away from home, with an often experience being a band practice in the dorms ringing out across the grounds to be heard by the Senior team training below.

From November 30th to December 2th 2017, Lisbon, the city praised by Carlos do Carmo in one of his most famous fado, hosted the 25th Euronet meeting. The Euronet Portuguese Team gifted everyone with an astonishing organization. It wasn't just a meeting, it was a reunion of friends, an encounter of new colleagues, a scientific conference and a journey through Lisbon history.

L'interblocco (o interlock) è un componente utilizzato per bloccare una macchina o un dispositivo prima che si danneggi o metta a rischio la sicurezza delle persone. Per esempio in una lavatrice in caso di apertura del cesto l'interblocco blocca la lavatrice per impedire all'utente di ferirsi. Esempi simili si hanno in quasi tutte le macchine industriali che utilizzano sensori per impedire lesioni di operatori umani nel caso di errori degli stessi.

Gli interblocchi possono essere anche formati da interruttori esclusivamente meccanici (come ad esempio la sicura di un'arma da fuoco), per cui la presenza di un interblocco non implica necessariamente la presenza di dispositivi elettronici o elettrici.

Normativa, standard e classificazione

Gli interblocchi sono oggetto della norma internazionale ISO 14119 Safety of machinery — Interlocking devices associated with guards — Principles for design and selection, che classifica i dispositivi di interblocco a seconda del loro principio di azionamento, ovvero:
 meccanico: azionati dal contatto fisico o dalla forza umana;
 senza contatto: con azionamento induttivo, magnetico, capacitivo, ultrasuoni, ottico o RFID.

Video: Trump and Putin Meet, What Does The Future Hold?
Posted by Ryan Herbison | Jul 10, 2017 |
Luke had a very special guest on today… Angelo John Gage, and he talked about a slurry of important issues dealing with Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin. With all the latest developments that happened after the G20 summit, and the potential ramifications for American foreign policy and with what's taking place inside of Syria.
He wanted to talk to Angelo mainly because he doesn't tell you things that you want to hear. Angelo has pissed-off people in the white nationalist community, as well as both pro and anti-Trump, he is also a US Marine Corps War vet. He's been there, he's seen it on the ground, and he's been making important videos telling people exactly what's happening. Angelo doesn't go soft; he tells you exactly how he sees it.
Luke: Angelo, I wanted to talk to you about all these things that are happening, unlike a lot of the other popular social media figures who are pro-Trump you held Trump's feet to the fire. You were one of the few people who didn't placate for views and fame. You told people the hard truth whether they wanted to hear it or not. People were angry with you, just like people are angry at me for calling out Donald Trump when he bombed the Syrian air base. When he took down that Syrian airplane when he was doing things that were incredibly horrible towards world peace and the future of Syria. Now with the latest developments that just happened between Trump and Putin what do you take from these latest meetings?
Angelo John Gage:
Well, I like Putin, starting with back in 2013 when 'apparently' Assad gassed his own people. Putin was like wait, let's just hold on for a second. While John Kerry was pushing for war, Putin said let's send people in there, let's see what is going on, let's take away those weapons. So I liked Putin for that, he's not the kind of person that just goes in, and begins to bomb everybody to show off the strength of a country.
Trump Supporters often claim that Trump is playing 4D chess, which is the most ridiculous thing I ever heard. I like Putin; he is a chess player. I like that we can work with Russia, why are crazy liberals or leftists against world peace. We're not at war with Russia yet, that's great, I don't want World War Three with any country. I've been to war twice, so to all of these people who are playing Call of Duty, who want to go to war should know. Nobody wins in a war, the politicians might, the special interest groups do, the globalists and the bankers will, but the soldiers, the children and the families who are obliterated don't. I got PTSD, a lot of my friends came back messed up, some of them never came home. War is not something that's good, we should always avoid it, but the special interests they want war and are glad to see it. I'm hopeful to see two world powers, get together and hopefully do something good, get rid of ISIS.
It does seem like there was a shift at that G20 meeting but it is difficult to determine what is going on. If you look at US defense spending, they spend almost as much as the other ten highest countries in this world. More than China, more than Russia, more than the UK, Japan, France, Saudi Arabia, India, Germany, Italy, and Brazil combined.
If you look at the United States as a country we've been at war, for almost 220 years, the country is only 241 years old. One interesting factor thing in this whole game with ISIS is that there is so much information missing from the mainstream dialogue.
I have one chart up here showing you all the countries that ISIS operates in, all the countries that are against U.S. foreign policy objectives. Look at what happened in Libya, Egypt, Syria, Turkey, Kurdistan, Iraq, and Afghanistan, all of them have been targets of ISIS. While other countries like Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the UAE, and Kuwait who have co-operated with the United States, those countries don't have ISIS destroying their nation.
There's a bigger scheme here, with the policies of George W. Bush, Barack Obama and now with Donald Trump. Trump has continued some of those failed, horrible policies. What are some of the bigger truths for you, when it comes to the bigger geopolitical picture that we're all dealing with? What do you think people need to know more about?
Angelo:
You know Israel is very powerful, it's a very small country, if you criticize the government of Israel or some other country you are called an anti-Semitic or an Islamophobe. That would be like criticizing Nigeria and being told you're racist. It's not the case, and we all know it. If you listen to the UN reports Israel, Qatar, all of our allies are funding these different rebels, including the United States. Yes, rebel groups and AIPAC is a powerful lobby with the US Government, and there are other lobbies from other countries. Look at the Saudis they're very powerful. Trump's giving them four hundred billion dollars in weapons, what do you think they're doing with those.
It's interesting, WikiLeaks posted that Qatar and Saudi Arabia are clandestinely funding ISIS. Trump gives them four hundred billion in arms, where are those arms going? It's important to see that our allies are involved, there's interest in the Middle East with many different alliances. We're spending our tax dollars supporting their air forces, which are shooting down planes that are taking on ISIS.
Hillary Clinton email reveals she knew of Saudi & Qatar government funding for ISIL (ISIS) by August 2014 https://t.co/tlWxkEZ8FN pic.twitter.com/RmaFi9lQQP
— WikiLeaks (@wikileaks) June 5, 2017
Israeli government officials have come out and admitted that they'd committed war crimes, in Palestine. The U.S. has also committed war crimes, which is one of the reasons why I woke up. When I got back from the second tour in Iraq, I was just googling things when I learned that we were dropping white phosphorus in Fallujah. They say we are looking for chemical weapons, but when you see the pictures of corpses that are completely toasted black skeletons, you change your perspective. The Israelis do that in Palestine, and Saudi Arabia is doing it right now in Yemen.
So we're using this nonchemical weapon that burns you to a crisp when it touches your skin. I'm thinking 'wait I thought we were the good guys,' so I started questioning Iraq and then 9/11, that's where I started. I started going through everything, asking about everything and watching all the videos. I started researching all of this, and I got into different types of politics.
I pissed off every group the SPLC, white nationalist, leftist Trump supporters, and one of the reasons why I pissed off Trump supporters Luke is because everyone voted for Trump. Now when I saw him and what he was saying during the campaign that we're going to bomb the hell out of ISIS. I thought awesome; we're going to make America great and rebuild the wall, all these wonderful things. No more globalism, that's what I wanted to hear and what did he do. He launched Tomahawk missiles into Syria without investigation, a sovereign country who's fighting ISIS.
That was it for me; he just killed people. This man killed people just to show strength. We're the only country on planet earth that has ever nuked civilian targets. Hiroshima and Nagasaki were civilians heart we nuked them. I mean everyone knows we're crazy, even Obama was droning people the whole time. It's not defense spending, I say it's offense, it's offensive, we're spreading our bases all over the world. We keep creeping in, killing Qaddafi, killing Saddam, were they great people, I don't know. Apparently, Libya was amazing under Qaddafi. Saddam maybe he was a little mean, I don't know, but all we do is a regime change. We do it for special interests, for our allies, while you and I pay for it all, it's terrible.
There are the drone strikes that Barack Obama conducted, including the one that killed a 16-year-old American citizen. Donald Trump carried out an attack recently that was planned by Obama and it killed an eight-year-old American girl. You see Trump colluding with Henry Kissinger, and continue the same policies of Barack Obama. I have sounded the alarm for some time, and people hate me for it as you know if you've been watching my YouTube channel.
I don't hate any group of people; I am not racist, I am not anti-Semitic. However, I do not like governments who abuse their authority. Like when Israel decides to bomb Syrian government forces that are fighting radical Islamic terrorists. These same rebel groups that Israel provides support to, that they take care of in the Golan Heights region. I'm reporting this news, but other press is afraid to go that far because they're concerned about being labeled. It's common sense, we speak the truth, not to placate an audience, not for fame, not for money because you deserve it. We don't care about this outside society, and that's why I wanted to have you on Angelo. Your one of the people who has been holding their feet to the fire, one of the people who are not afraid to be critical of them. In this media game, if you want to be successful, you pick a side, a gang, an affiliation. If you stick to that side, the other will hate you, but supporters will follow you and defend you. You will get the greatest number of followers but guess what, that dichotomy I believe is breaking down, the truth is somewhere in the middle. It is gray, it is not just black and white, there are bigger ramifications, there are bigger things that we all need to understand.
The way you came about this was from a very personal experience; you went through it, you saw it. Is there anything else you want to share, about the journey that you have been on whether it's waking up or speaking the truth and having people being mad at you. What sticks out to you the most from this journey that you have been on?
I started with Fallujah then I learned about World War Two and the banking system. I ended up watching David Icke; he's got a very spiritual approach to things. I got into everything; I read all these different books and groups then I realized that everything was about picking sides. It's all left or right no matter what, race, religion, and politics. Meanwhile these globalists, they're all over the place, they're all one big agenda, they're all different people working together to control everyone. They want us in these boxes, these categories, where we fight over all of these petty problems, and they manipulate us. I realized it's all just good versus evil.
If you are a good person, I don't care what color you are, or where you are from. We have to work together to stop evil people. The evil people are a minority on the planet; we have the power to do it. My journey was going through all these different realities and different truths. There are a lot of them, they are very deep, but it's ultimately irrelevant to the bigger picture.
We have to take action because you could sit there and read a thousand books. It's like if you were a surgeon, you go to medical school, but you never performed a single surgery. What if you never take action in the real world, then you're not a surgeon, your just one on paper. I got addicted to reading conspiracy theories and information, and I didn't do anything with it other than to make some videos, I had to start taking political action.
When Trump bombed Syria, my heart broke. Imagine going to war twice, thinking your there to save these people. There are children; I would throw them water, they were thirsty and starving, we weren't supposed to do it. Then coming back home, being thanked for your service, then learning that it was all nonsense, it was all a lie.
Then I busted my ass to get Trump elected. I was in all the chat rooms; we were destroying the narratives. I'm in there with people who are making up new hashtags; that trend like crazy. I am busting my rump getting people to vote for Trump, including my family, everyone I know. Then he ordered the Syrian Tomahawk attack, and my heart just snapped it, just broke.
So now I am trying to hold Trump accountable, for what he's done. So either Trump's in on it or he's just too naive, or he's playing 4D chess.
We're on the brink of World War 3, it's ridiculous, it makes no sense at all.
A lot of people have become famous because of Trump, many pundits, that have all these followers, they don't want to go against him. It's not about Trump; we could make America great again with or without him, there's almost a cult of personality with him.
Here comes Trump from out of nowhere, he's not part of the establishment, he kicked everybody's ass in his first try, becomes president, it was the greatest victory. I remember watching the election waiting for him to win, we got our country back.
A lot of people have this faith in things; they don't even care if the person comes through or not, they just live in a fantasy world. While we are here in the real world. That's why when people say let's just turn the Middle East into a sheet of glass, which pisses me off. There are people there and children. The people that are saying these things, they haven't been to war. I've been there it's horrendous, it changes your life, it will mess you up.
I'm susceptible to it; I won't even watch a war movie. I can't watch "Saving Private Ryan," I will be crying. I'll tell you straight up; it's because they make it very real looking, you know you lose people, one second you're talking to a guy, the next second his head's gone. There are people that want us to go to war, war hawks like, Madeline Albright former Secretary of State who said that Iraq was worth the 500,000 dead children. Think how many stadiums you could fill with their dead bodies. These people are cold-blooded, psychopaths, they are mentally insane.
They are a minority, so we are the majority, but they have a great way of playing on our tribalistic ways. You can be part of a particular race and be proud and happy and your parentage. I'm all for identity, I'm all for protecting yourself, and your people and culture and everything. You can't allow yourself to be manipulated over pride; it's okay to be happy. You have to work together with people, who are on the same side as you, even though they might not look like you, they might not quite think like you, but they're under attack as well.
The globalists are doing this whole thing of picking us off one by one, you know let's pit this group against that one, it's all divide and conquer. Eventually, they will try to destroy us all. We need to convince other groups, that while we may have different views on things, we're all under attack and we need to help each other out.
Even the Republicans and Democrats they're all pretty much on the same team, we pick a side, we vote for who we want, we argue about the small things that don't matter.
What about the Federal Reserve, what about the income tax of 30%, every four years you work for a year for free. Our forefathers had a revolution over 3% tea tax. Meanwhile, we're getting taxed to death, and they are making up theories about global warming, that it's our fault, it's not the sun.
Nobody cares because it's all a big dog and pony show, it's all bread and circus's, we got our gadgets our Netflix, our cars that talk to us, our phones are smarter than us. It's like what Alex Jones says, that it's a technocracy.
There's a lot of attention towards drama, should this civil disobedience be done this way or that way. Hang on, wait a minute; there are people dying in Yemen and Syria because of horrible foreign policy decisions. People don't want to see that; there is a lot of money to me made, there's a lot of clicks, there's fame, ego, and pride. Instead of caring about everyone in this world, they care more about themselves or their group or their gang or their affiliation and the material things they are tied to. These people just get me mad. That's why I'm so happy, that there are people like yourself.
I just wanted to leave you with the last question, we know it's down to just love and fear, that's the two basic dichotomies, how do you see things going in the future especially with Donald Trump as our president and with the situation in Syria?
I hope that have some agreement where they stop mingling in Syria. I hope that Trump keeps his word and bombs the hell out of ISIS. I hope he is really playing 4D chess and just playing everyone. I think Putin knows what he's doing, so I have more hope for Putin. I hope Trump delivers; I'm not going to worship him if he says he is going to do something than I am holding him accountable.
If Trump is naive or being deceived maybe he will stop doing it. It's up to us to be vigilant and keep the pressure on the people that work for us. We like the guy; he is really funny, he makes funny jokes. However, that's how you get seduced, and it becomes a cult of personality. Then you let him slide for killing people. There has to be justice in this world, without it, we are just animals.
We have to be more than that, so my message Luke is that, yes it's fear and love. We've got to start loving ourselves enough and respect each other, so we don't have this new world order elitism trample us.
We don't have any self-respect because we're sellouts. We don't hold our leaders to their promises because were too comfortable. I would rather fight to the death than be enslaved, that's just me.

Bored of Indian egg dishes? Try out these 'egg'licious dishes from around the world
We bring you a clutch of somewhat lesser- known egg recipes; they make for healthy, filling breakfasts, but can be equally turned to a wholesome lunch or dinner.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that almost every culture in the world has its own variations of egg. This is certainly true of India, with an almost unsurpassed variety of egg recipes — bhurjee, the inimitable Eggs Kejriwal, masala omelette, and the vast range that the Parsi community offers i.e. poro, akoori, par eeda.
Çilbir: Although this recipe pairs two somewhat startling ingredients — poached eggs sitting on a sea of garlicky yoghurt —their marriage is rather delectable. Creamy, buttery, moreish, cilbir is one of Turkey's favourite comfort foods.
Shakshuka: Although this recipe pairs two somewhat startling ingredients — poached eggs sitting on a sea of garlicky yoghurt —their marriage is rather delectable. Creamy, buttery, moreish, cilbir is one of Turkey's favourite comfort foods.
Huevos Rancheros: Here's a classic Mexican breakfast dish that is exceedingly similar to shakshouka. At its core, huevos rancheros is a dish of eggs and tomato salsa, served over corn tortillas. A delicious breakfast, it can be made even more invigorating by the addition of beans, avocados and cheese.
Omurice: This Japanese egg preparation consists of soft-scrambled omelette that is draped over fried rice and drizzled with sauce. The omelette is lightly cooked, in order to keep its belly soft and full of creamy curds; it is then slit open over the rice, so that the insides ooze out and dress the rice.
All these recipes are scrummy and finished in the blink of an eye. Runny, creamy, crunchy, savoury, these dishes are easy enough to make for yourself, and elegant enough to impress guests. The names are intriguingly fresh, but the flavours are familiar and comforting — these are the eggs you didn't know you craved.

Council takes next steps in multi-million pound regeneration plans
Eastbourne Borough Council is forging ahead with ambitious plans for projects across the town to strengthen the visitor economy following its successful £19.8 million Levelling Up bid from government.
Ahead of submitting the bid, a stakeholder group was set up and more than 45 initial projects were discussed extensively with the following three schemes chosen, which met the bidding criteria:
Victoria Place: the creation of a vibrant, pedestrianised cultural district, including the refurbishment of commercial units, with excellent cafes and restaurants serving food and drink all year round and boosting Eastbourne's night-time economy.
Black Robin Farm: to create a world-class cultural, education and visitor centre on a former dairy farm on the Downs that will firmly establish Eastbourne as the eastern gateway to the National Park, creating more than 5,000 learning opportunities per year.
Towner 2023: a programme of public art and visitor trails to celebrate the history and culture of Eastbourne, linking with the centenary celebrations of the Towner gallery. This combines with some small-scale investments in the gallery itself to enhance learning and visitor facilities.
Councillor David Tutt, Leader of the Council, said: "It's a really exciting time for Eastbourne as we seize this opportunity to breathe new life into a key part of the town centre, making a stronger connection with our beautiful seafront and the South Downs National Park.
"Eastbourne was one of just four councils in East and West Sussex to receive this money, so this is a notable achievement and a huge well done to everyone involved so far.
"The stakeholder group assessed dozens of great ideas in preparation for the bid and agreed that Victoria Place, Black Robin Farm and Towner 2023 would have the most positive impact for the town. Like so many residents and business people, I greatly look forward to these exciting schemes being realised."
The stakeholder group comprised councillors, Caroline Ansell, Eastbourne and Willingdon MP; Christina Ewbank, CEO of Eastbourne Chamber of Commerce (who chaired the group); Eastbourne Hospitality Association; the Your Eastbourne Business Improvement District and the East Sussex College Group and others.
A detailed programme of works will now be drawn up including the development of project briefs; feasibility and survey work; legal, financial and commercial due diligence; and engagement with key stakeholders as well as the South Downs National Park.
A board is also being established to oversee the work being carried out.
Councillor Tutt added: "All Levelling Up funds must be spent by March 2024 so we are driving ahead with these projects which will further enhance our cultural and tourism offer and ensure Eastbourne's continued status as one of the UK's most popular coastal towns to live, work and visit."

Estonia was one of the easiest countries I've travelled around made possible by excellent infrastructure and a high level of service. Below are some travel tips for visiting Estonia.
Visa: Estonia joined the EU in 2004, the same year it joined NATO. Estonia is part of the Schengen Agreement bloc which allows for free movement between Schengen member countries – a combination of EU and non-EU countries. Not all EU countries are members of Schengen. A Schengen visa entitles its holder to travel within Schengen countries for a period of no more than 90 days in a 180 day period. For further information on Schengen travel refer to the European Commission website. Citizens from a number of countries can enter Estonia visa-free.
Language: Estonian is apparently one of the most difficult languages in the world to master. Not to worry, there is a high level of English fluency in Estonia. Eesti is the country's Estonian name which is why Estonian website URLs end in the letters 'ee'.
Even the graffiti in Estonia is in English!
Time Zone: Estonia is GMT/BST +2 hours.
Estonia Geography: The Gulf of Finland borders Estonia's north coast. Estonia is separated from Russia on its east side by Lake Pihkva, Lake Peipsi and the river Narva. South East Estonia shares a direct land border with Russia. Latvia lies to Estonia's south. The Baltic Sea lies to Estonia's west separating it from Sweden.
Estonia is a relatively flat country with the highest point only reaching 318 metres. Approximately 50% of the Estonian countryside is covered in forest.
Estonia history: During the Middle Ages Estonia changed hands between the Danes and the Swedes until the Russians invaded in 1710 and stayed there until 1918. Independence only lasted until 1940 when the Soviet Union annexed Estonia as part of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, a secret agreement between Stalin's USSR and Hitler's Germany to carve up Europe.
Estonia became independent once again in 1991 and I've outlined Estonia's road to independence in my Nickname e-Stonia post.
Best time to visit Estonia: The weather is a big factor when visiting Estonia. Snow falls in October and stays there until March so a great time to visit if sub-zero temperatures are your thing. The shipping lanes between Tallinn and Helsinki are kept open with ice-breakers during this season. I visited in early October and it was bitterly cold, hovering between 3° and 8° Celsius with a constant Baltic wind. Only in the months of June, July and August does the temperature exceed 20°C.
Estonian people: I found people in service industries to be helpful, honest and efficient but in general I found the people to be of a shy disposition which meant casual conversation with locals was difficult to initiate at times, something solo travellers would notice most. Those that I did manage to engage with were exceptionally friendly and courteous.
Estonians are law-abiding, tolerant and not in the least bit intrusive. Estonia is the sort of place you could walk around with a parrot on your head and nobody would bother you.
Approximately a quarter of the population is ethnic Russian. Despite the ubiquitous presence of churches the overwhelming majority of Estonians are atheist.
Electrical plugs: The standard continental European type which is the two round pin plug/socket of 220V-240V. WIFI is widely available in Estonia.
Getting around Estonia: Estonia's flat landscape makes it an easy country to traverse and ideal for a cycling holiday. With only a population of 1.3 million, Estonia doesn't suffer from congested roads. This, along with an excellent road infrastructure, makes Estonia an easy country to drive in according to those whom I spoke to who rented cars. Bus travel was my main method of transport given its frequency, reliability and cheap cost. Tickets and timetables are available on the T pilet website.
Estonia's domestic rail network serves the main cities and is operated by Elron. Tallinn has an excellent tram system.
Getting to Estonia: Visiting Estonia is easy as it's at the epicentre of Baltic travel. Capital Tallinn is reached by ferry from Helsinki with several daily sailings. Tallinn is also connected to Stockholm and St. Petersburg by ferry.
Buses serve Estonia from Latvia, Lithuania and St. Petersburg. The LuxExpress bus service between Tallinn and St. Petersburg comes recommended and which I have covered in my St. Petersburg travel guide.
Passengers travelling by train from Latvia to Estonia will have to change to the Elron service at Valga. There is a direct train service from Tallinn to St. Petersburg.
Tallinn has good flight connections with the rest of Europe, served by a wide range of airlines. I flew direct to Tallinn with Ryanair from Dublin.
Food and drink: As I outlined in my Nickname e-Stonia post, Estonian food was a pleasant surprise. Meat is combined with berries whilst fish is cured for the winter as Estonia's coast freezes during that season. Estonia is one of the best places in the world for spirits, particularly those of the warming variety.
Is Estonia safe to visit: I found Estonia to be an exceptionally safe place to visit for solo female travellers. I saw boisterous groups of Brits and Finns availing of Estonia's cheap alcohol at the weekend in Tallinn but it was more of a silly and annoying nature than threatening. Estonia is also a very clean country to visit with a big emphasis on the natural environment.
I went to Estonia expecting relics of the Soviet Union only to find a piece of Scandinavia. In Nickname e-Stonia I look at how this former soviet state has re-invented itself as the tech capital of Europe.
Despite the grey skies I found Tartu to be utterly charming with some of the best cafes I've visited. I explore this university city in Tartu: As sweet as it sounds.
Lonely Planet's Estonia, Latvia & Lithuania guide proved to be a reliable resource.
The Oscar-nominated film, Tangerines, was my cultural immersion into Estonian prior to my visit.
Thanks for such a helpful guide to Estonia. Inspires us to put it on the "bucket list" What made you choose Estonia?
I wanted to go to the Baltic region plus fit in a trip to St. Petersburg so Estonia was the obvious choice. My brother visited the country a few years ago as well so following in big brother's steps, I guess.
Great post! I don't think I ever heard of the language.
Thanks for the comments, Mazoli. Estonian is apparently a very difficult language to learn and resembles few other language families. With one of the smallest populations in the EU I guess it's not a widely spoken language either. Nevertheless, the English fluency in Estonia was superb – on par with Denmark and the Netherlands.
Estonia is stunning in your post……thank you.


Keurig is the original single-serve coffee maker – founded by two former college roommates who wanted to solve the problem of stale, bitter workplace coffee. So, they created the concept of single-serving pods and a coffee machine that would brew them. The Keurig was so unique and so popular at offices that it wasn't long before people wanted this coffee pot for their homes.
What makes the Keurig so unique? It has its own brewing system, which actually takes place it the K-cup. K-cups are the small, sealed cups with just enough coffee to brew one cup. When you are ready to brew the coffee, you simply place a K-cup in the Keurig where it's container is punctured so that pressurized water can flow through it to produce a fresh, single cup of coffee.
The Keurig Coffee Maker includes a large capacity water reservoir so that you don't have to measure water each time you brew a cup of coffee. It has a sleek design and multiple settings that allow you to customize your coffee experience. Since the popular Keurig burst onto the scene and into the homes of people everywhere, other brands have worked to create similar coffee machines. Today we'll look at what makes the Keurig such a great coffee maker and how its alternatives measure up.
Five temperature settings so that you can control the brewing process.
An 80 oz water reservoir that holds enough for 10 cups of coffee.
Ability to brew different sized cups up to 12oz, or you can even brew a full carafe of coffee in your Keurig.
Large touch screen feature makes it easy to program your Keurig with your own personal settings.
Yes, the Keurig has many fantastic features, but it may not be for everyone. In fact, you may find that one of these great Keurig alternatives is more your style. Let's look at some of the alternative options to the Keurig.
The Hamilton Beach Single Serve Coffee Maker is an extremely popular choice. It offers two different ways to brew – by the cup or by the pot.
Programmable clock and timer that allows you to set the time your coffee brews up to 24 hours in advance.
Two-way brewer feature so you can use pre-measured soft pods, or freshly ground coffee in your coffee pot.
Brew strength selector that lets you change the level of strength of your coffee.
Like the Keurig, Hamilton Beach coffee maker provides several options for the size and strength of your coffee. However, it looks more like a standard coffee pot and is a very affordable alternative.
The Ninja Coffee Bar Brewer has a unique look and features that allow you to make all kinds of tasty coffee treats. Whether you want to enjoy a simple cup of good black coffee, or a frothy iced, coffee-house style drink, you can make it at your Ninja Coffee Bar.
Variety of coffee making options like classic, rich, iced brew, or a specialty drink.
Auto-IQ One Touch Intelligence delivers the right amount of water for the size and brew that you choose.
Patent-pending brewing technology with thermal flavor extraction delivers rich, full-flavored coffee in every cup.
Similar to the Keurig, this great coffee machine allows you to make a single cup or more of coffee without all the measuring. However, this machine is a full coffee bar with numerous styles and blends to choose from.
Option to choose from five different cup sizes ranging from 4 to 12 oz.
Charcoal water filter ensures you have the best tasting cup of coffee.
Hot water button so that you can brew tea and hot cocoa too.
This Cuisinart coffeemaker is similar to the Keurig in that it makes a good, single cup of coffee. However, that is the only thing that this coffee pot does. If simplicity is what you want, then the Cuisinart is a great option.
The Black + Decker 12-cup Thermal Coffeemaker keeps your coffee hot long after it is brewed. Plus, its no drip perfect pour spout is specially designed to prevent you from spilling hot coffee as you pour.
Its Evenstream Showerhead which extracts the maximum coffee flavor by evenly dispensing the water over your coffee.
Customizable brewing options that you can set to brew 1 to 4 cups of the perfect cup.
LCD display including a timer that lets you know how much time has passed since your coffee was brewed.
What makes this Black + Decker coffee pot a great alternative to the Keurig? It's an affordable coffeemaker that allows you to brew up to four cups of your favorite grind.
The Aicok Single Serve Coffee Maker comes with a sleek design and a large removable water tank. With many great features and an affordable price, this coffee pot makes a great option.
Quick brew technology that allows you to make a tasty cup of coffee in a mere 30 seconds.
Capacity to hold up to 45oz of water so that you can make multiple cups of coffee with minimal effort.
One touch buttons for programming your coffee pot to make different sizes for different tastes.
This single serve coffee maker has many of the same features as the Keurig, plus you can even use your favorite K-cup pods in it. However, with its quick brew and one touch features, the Aicock Coffee Maker is in a class of its own.
The Black + Decker Brew n' Go Personal Coffeemaker is ideal for making a quick cup of coffee on the go. It is small, compact, and hassle-free.
Mesh metal filter eliminates the need for paper filters. It works great with both soft pods and coffee grounds.
15oz stainless steel travel mug ideal for taking your coffee on the run.
Automatic shut-off feature after your cup is brewed so you never have to worry about turning your coffee pot off.
If you like the single serve feature of the Keurig, then the Black + Decker Brew 'n Go is a great and inexpensive alternative.


Florida traffic stop leads to meth seizure | The Figueroa Law Firm, P.A.
On behalf of The Figueroa Law Firm, P.A. posted in drug crimes on Wednesday, April 10, 2019.
A routine traffic stop on the evening of April 3 led to the discovery and seizure of a significant quantity of methamphetamine according to a report from the Gainesville Police Department. A 41-year-old Gainesville man and a 38-year-old Deltona man were taken into custody at the scene in connection with the seized drugs. Media reports reveal that they have been charged with trafficking narcotics and possessing drug paraphernalia and are being held at a detention facility operated by the Alachua County Sheriff's Office. The bonds for both men have been set at $51,000.
According to the GPD, the car the two men were traveling in was pulled over on Interstate 75, which is also known as Florida State Road 93, at approximately 7:45 p.m. for speeding and tailgating. The officer who made the stop says that he became suspicious when he noticed one of the men attempting to conceal an item by placing it between his legs. The officer claims that he then searched the man and found a plastic bag containing 5.2 grams of a substance that appeared to be methamphetamine. A subsequent search of the car is said to have led to the discovery two sandwich bags containing a further 193 grams of the drug along with digital scales and a meth pipe.
Police then obtained a search warrant for the Gainesville man's apartment where another meth pipe and a bag containing 16.2 grams of the drug were allegedly discovered. The Deltona man is said to have told members of the Gainesville-Alachua County Drug Task Force that he assisted the Gainesville man in his alleged drug distribution activities by renting him cars and driving him to purchase narcotics.
Experienced criminal defense attorneys would likely advise individuals facing drug possession, distribution or trafficking charges to make no admissions to police officers or prosecutors without first consulting a lawyer. This is because proving criminal charges beyond any reasonable doubt is rarely straightforward for prosecutors even when the evidence seems strong, and they are usually willing to make significant charging or sentencing concessions to avoid the risks of a jury trial.

Bill Cosby has been moved into general population at SCI Phoenix, a maximum security prison in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
Bill Cosby has entered general population at the Pennsylvanian where the convicted sex offender began his sentence four months ago. The 81-year-old former actor was initially placed in special housing at SCI Phoenix — a new maximum security prison that opened last year. Now Cosby — who is legally blind — is in a single cell in a two-storey unit at the facility in Montgomery County. Fellow inmates have been assigned to assist him throughout the day due to his age and disability, according to state prison spokeswoman Amy Worden. The 3,830-bed, handicap-accessible facility is staffed by 1,200 full-time employees and sprawls across 164 acres inside its double ring of razor wire fences and has a 1.5 mile perimeter. The prison offers programs including sex offender treatment, victim awareness and impact of crime classes. Cosby was sentenced to three to 10 years in prison on September 25, 2018, following his conviction earlier that year for drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constrand in 2004. 07 Feb 2019 Pictured: Bill Cosby has been moved into general population at SCI Phoenix, a maximum security prison in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.

Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky Reveals "Crypto Payments" Is a Top Request for Users
Airbnb, a prominent United States Marketplace for lodging, could soon accept payments in cryptocurrency. The announcement was first made as a hint by the company's CEO, Brian Chesky.
The Unfolding Developments
Airbnb's CEO Chesky said that the most requested feature by customers is to be able to pay for reservations in cryptocurrency. He responded to the poll, revealing that it was the most popular choice out of 4,000 options. This was after he asked, "If Airbnb were to develop anything in 2022, what would it be?"
Other suggestions included transparent pricing displays, a guest loyalty program, and updated cleaning costs. Other suggestions focused on longer-term stays and savings, improved customer service, and commercial spaces.
The Airbnb CEO stated: "We are in fact looking into this as well," acknowledging the possibility of expanding to commercial sites. Despite the fact that there is no official word on it, the well-known accommodation booking site may begin to accept cryptocurrencies as a payment option.
A Twitter user pointed out that cryptocurrency may be utilized for payments in nations where cross-border transactions are restricted. "We are looking into this," Chesky replied. Moreover, Chesky stated that since 2013, the firm had seen a payment volume of USD 336 billion.
Airbnb currently has over 5.6 million rooms available worldwide. According to the firm's website, since its inception in 2007, Airbnb has served more than 1 billion consumers. More than 4 million hosts have featured their homes on the site.
Airbnb currently accepts payments via Visa, MasterCard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal. In September 2021, the Airbnb CEO stated during an interview with Fox Business that crypto payments had been a long-standing demand.
The Future of Crypto
Cryptocurrency mass adoption is the order of the day. Chesky said that he is pleased people are beginning to grasp how the new technology has improved their lives. His influence can be traced to Brian Armstrong.
Brian Armstrong, the CEO of Coinbase, was a technical product manager for Airbnb, which IPO'd in December 2020.
In some regions of the world, cryptocurrencies appear to be gaining popularity. However, El Salvador was the first country to make Bitcoin a legal tender. Meanwhile, AMC Theaters has announced that it will accept Shiba Inu cryptocurrency (SHIB).
AMC is one of the largest companies in the United States. It has long accepted Ethereum and Litecoin crypto as payments. Additionally, Elon Musk has expressed interest in accepting cryptocurrency as a payment method.
However, not all governments appear committed. China is one of the most outspoken opponents of cryptocurrencies. On the other hand, India is considering its position on cryptocurrency in the future. The country's first-ever crypto index was recently released by the worldwide cryptocurrency super app Cryptowire.

The Loews Regency Hotel Announces Sant Ambroeus Hospitality Group As Partner for Hotel's Two New Restaurants
Sant Ambroeus Hospitality Group to open two new restaurants in the historic NYC hotel, which will re-open its doors after its first-ever full renovation in the Fall of 2013
New York, NY – (January 30, 2013) – The Loews Regency Hotel announced today a partnership with Sant Ambroeus Hospitality Group to open and manage two new restaurants in the Loews Regency Hotel when it reopens in the fall of 2013. Restaurateurs Gherardo Guarducci and Dimitri Pauli, owners of the celebrated restaurants Sant Ambroeus, Casa Lever and Felice, will open an Italian grill concept in the hotel's new flagship restaurant, which will also serve as the home for the famed Power Breakfast.

Plants & Flowers for Poor Soil & a Dry Shade
Persistent gardeners can find great plants for challenging poor soil and dry shade.
1 Low Maintenance Shrubs and Hillside Landscaping Ideas
2 Slow Growing Hedges
3 Does Pink Muhly Grass Grow Flowers?
4 A Large-Leaf Perennial Plant That Has a Pink Flower in the Spring
Living in an area known for poor, dry soil conditions is no reason to have a dreary garden, especially in the Mediterranean growing conditions of U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zone 8 through 11. A large variety of plants, many of them domesticated American natives, flourish in sandy, gravelly soils with little moisture and nutrition and partial or poor sun. Take advantage of ground covers, perennials and shrubs that prefer tough growing conditions.
Clumping Ground Covers
Bugleweed, dead nettle and bishop's hat are all hardy to USDA plant hardiness zone 9 and are particularly useful in the dry shade under trees, which compete intensely for available moisture. Bugleweed (Ajuga reptens) spreads at a moderate rate. Overlapping leaf clusters send blue flower spikes 6 to 12 inches above bronzy green foliage from late spring to mid-summer. Dead nettle (Lamium maculatum) has beautiful silver-green foliage and late-spring flowers that are pink, white or yellow, depending on the variety. Clumps reach approximately 1 foot in height, even in full dry shade. Some species of barrenwort or "bishop's hat" (Epimedium spp.), "Frohnleiten" for example, grow well in dry shade, sending forth yellow spring flowers resembling single roses.
Long-stemmed Ground Covers
Virginia creeper (Parthenocissus quinquefolia) does not flower perceptibly but sends out long stems with distinctive 5-leaf foliage clusters. Plants tolerate full sun to deep shade and moist to dry soils and can reach between 30 and 50 feet in length. Periwinkle, or myrtle (Vinca minor), stems usually reach between 12 and 24 inches in length in a sprawling habit. Foliage may be green or variegated with white or gold, and the plant takes its common name from late-spring-blooming star-shaped blue flowers.
Spring and Summer Bloomers
A desire for blooming perennial flowers is hard to fulfill in dry shade. Spring-bloomers include Lenten rose (Helleborus hybridus), which reaches 1 to 2 feet in height, with late-winter/early spring blooms in colors from brownish purple to pale green. Later in spring, old-fashioned bleeding heart (Dicentra spectabilis) offers arching stems of distinctively-shaped pink blossoms. Summer foliage dieback is unattractive and leaves a noticeable gap. Whether classified as a border plant or a ground cover, lilyturf (Liriope muscari) grows in 6- to 12-inch grass-like clumps, with an abundance of summer purple or lavender flower stems in partial dry shade; blooms lessen as shade increases. Native geranium, or cranesbill (Geranium spp.) is usually recommended as hardy through USDA zone 8; add its blue flowers to sheltered dry shade sites.
Some large shrub genuses, like manzanita (Manzanita spp.), contain so many varieties that you must seek out the ones that will do best in your particular growing situation. Christmasberry, also called California holly (Toyon) blooms with white flowers July through September in Mediterranean climates, tolerates shade and thrives in dry conditions. Christmasberry is frequently planted on hillsides and can become 10 feet or more high and wide. In the garden, expect dimensions closer to 6 to 8 feet high and 4 to 5 feet wide. Common elderberry (Sambucus canadensis) can grow to 6 feet high and wide with clusters of white summer-blooming flowers and berries valued by both humans and wildlife. Popular with Native Americans and pioneers, this native tolerates a wide variety of growing conditions, including dry soil and partial shade.
Two other smaller shrubs, described as holly-leafed, tolerate dry shade and poor soil. Holly-leaved buckthorn (Rhamnus crocea Nutt.) attains a height and width of 2 to 3 feet, with yellow flowers that bloom in March and April. Red berries follow. Holly-leaved mahonia, or Oregon grape (Mahonia aquifolium) is only one member of a genus of tough berried evergreens that grow to between 2 and 4 feet high and wide. Small white flowers are succeeded by blue-black berries that attract birds and wildlife all winter long.
Poor, Dry and Shady Variations
The broad span of micro-climates within the generally Mediterranean growing conditions of zones 8 through 11 means that finding the perfect plant for challenging conditions may take research. Your local county extension services office can add to your plant list and help you evaluate your specific growing conditions. Many plant families contain particular varieties that are suited to your needs.

My god........so my question is, when we spanked you as a child (forbidden now), did you feel better? Happier?
I don't remember it that way, but who knows? Strange Russian science seems to think that it was a tonic. The mind boggles.


On Sunday evening in Lisbon I stopped in a bar on my way to dinner and ordered a gin and tonic. I asked how much and was told 5.50. A little steep, I thought, as I was fishing for the money in my wallet. Then I felt the urge for another, so I ordered a second gin to use up the rest of the tonic in the bottle. I asked again how much, prepared for a fight if he tried to charge me another 5.50 as I didn't take a second bottle of tonic. "Cinco euros, por favor." There was only one other client at the bar, and I was only there ten minutes, so the barman clearly knew I had had the second gin, but the total came to less than the price of a single. I didn't argue, but I left a tip.
Tonight in Madrid, on my way home from dinner with MGG, I stopped in a bar for a coffee and a brandy as a nightcap. The barman put the bottle of brandy and a huge glass on the counter while he went to get the coffee. When he came back I indicated with my raised eyebrows and nodding head that I'd prefer my brandy in the glass. "Serve yourself," he said. So I did. Generously! Then we got talking and I said I'd like another. Again I was invited to serve myself. The bill? "Cinco euros, por favor" (Spanish and Portuguese are quite similar in their written forms). Five euros.
These European traditions really should be shared.


Part of the basic ComFiTec option in the new blanket line from WeatherBeeta, this blanket offers WeatherBeeta quality at an incredible value. The Repel Shell outer allows water droplets to bead and run off the blanket, preventing saturation while working perfectly with the waterproof and breathable coating. A ripstop cross weave strengthens the fabric to help control and limit tears, while a warm, insulating heavyweight polyfill adds comfort.
66", 69", 72", 75", 78", 81", 84", 87"
WeatherBeeta Turnout Sheet and Blanket materials are waterproof and designed to keep your horse dry. However, if your horse is turned out in a field without a run in shed or shelter during prolonged rain or heavy downpours, your horse may still get wet, especially in the neck and tail areas.
Love this blanket! The durability is great and fits my horses perfect.
I'm very happy with this product. The weight is just what I was looking for and it's at at lower price point than Rambos. The waterproofing seems good, too. The blanket is on a pony that often gets shoved out from the run-in shed and gets wet; I'm impressed with how dry it stays. My pony must have approved because the first thing she did was break it in by rolling in the mud.
With in 2 weeks the inner liner has a hole at top and bottom of there the sur-single connects. I'll be sending it back for a replacement.
Great price and fits horse well. Plenty warm enough for PA.
This Weatherbeta Blanket 69 fits my 15.1hh 4 3/4 year old Arabian gelding perfectly with still a little room for growth.
Love the fact that it's 1200D ripstop and will take whatever he can dish out.
All of my previous Weatherbeetas have been outstanding adding!
I bought 3 of these last spring, and have used them on my horses these past few weeks during our historic cole weather on the east coast. Unfortunately all 3 of these blankets have torn, significantly, during their first use. It's sad that I'm going to have to take all three of my new blankets to get repaired, after only 2 weeks of wear. As I mentioned, I've had many other Weatherbeetas that are making quality. These, however, I can not say the same about.
Weatherbeeta blankets are the best.
My first Weatherbeeta blankets lasted over 5 years under the worst conditions. I have a mare that is really rough on blankets and even hers lasted that long. I still have the one for my gelding that I bought at the same time. I have 2 Weatherbeeta "rain-coats". I purchased these new blankets because it has been getting extremely cold here and Stateline Tack was having a sale on them, and I just LOVE the brand!!!
My horse is a stocky quarter horse and weatherbeeta just fits him better than others and it is durable.
Weatherbeeta blankets fit my horse and have stood up well.
I recently purchased the mid weight for my mare, and my stallion now needs a heavy weight so since I am so happy with the mid weight, I went ahead and ordered the heavy. Weatherbeeta lasts forever. Affordable and a really good value for the money.
Looking for a warm jacket of our horse for our colder nights.
I have another Weatherbeeta and like it!
I bought a Weatherbeeta blanket because I have bought them over the years and have found them to fit my mare perfectly and last for years. This is the first time I have tried the ComFiTec, have loved the Orican Freestyles of the past.
Where to measure the horse?
BEST ANSWER: Stand your horse as square as possible. Measure from the center of the chest along the side of the body to the point of the horse's hindquarters just before the tail. If your horse ends up measuring between sizes, choose the one closest to your measurement unless your horse is particularly big-bodied.
Does Weaterbee make a blanket that has the neck attached or one that you do not have to have a halter on for the neck cover. I do not want to leave halter on with an other horse in the pasture?
What is the weight of the fill in this blanket?
Are there hooks to attach a neck cover?
How is the best way to measure for a winter blanket. My horse has always been a size 78 but is a little big on her as she is older ?
BEST ANSWER: Start from the center of the chest and around to the back of the rump. This will determine the size.

Q: what is the canonical way to start a daemon in rhel/centos-6 init script? I found lots of good documentation for ubuntu's start-stop-daemon and there is a man page for a binary daemon.
But from what I can tell the canonical way to start a daemon in a rhel/centos script is to source /etc/init.d/functions then use the daemon() function. But I can't find any good examples or documentation.
What is the canonical way to start a daemon in rhel/centos-6 init script?
my first attempt was:
#!/bin/bash
source /etc/init.d/functions
daemon --user USER nohup /path/to/your/binary arg1 arg2 >/dev/null 2>&1 &

A: The documentation and example you are looking for is located at /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysvinitfiles on CentOS/RHEL. Here is the documentation for the daemon function specifically:

daemon  [ --check  ] [ --user ]
          [+/-nicelevel] program [arguments] [&]
    Starts a daemon, if it is not already running.  Does
    other useful things like keeping the daemon from dumping
    core if it terminates unexpectedly.

    --check <name>:
       Check that <name> is running, as opposed to simply the
       first argument passed to daemon().
    --user <username>:
       Run command as user <username>

With CentOS/RHEL 6, you also have the option of using an upstart job file instead of writing a sysv init script.

This includes nurses, midwives, porters, cleaners and hospital caterers who will see their wages rise. NHS staff working incredibly hard, day in, day out, right across the country.
We are committed to the delivery of world class public services and ensuring that public sector workers are fairly remunerated for the vitally important work that they do.
This increase in pay is only possible because of the balanced approach the government is taking – investing in our public services like the NHS and helping families with the cost of living while at the same time getting our debt falling.
