The Grand Theft Auto series started in 1998 and is nicely-known for its free-roam style of gameplay. Players progress via the storyline by performing predominant missions and various aspect missions involving journey, driving, stealth, and role-enjoying. The Last Of Us is an incredible post-apocalyptic survival adventure online game that was originally revealed in December 2011 and released in June of 2013. I feel a sudden urge to play Age of Empires once more, but maybe now could be time to dwell into Anno, as a result of I've wished to play it for a looong time, however still haven't. The first game i ever played was the Age of Empires, and since than i have all the time cherished the technique games, and the last one i've played is the Anno 2070 and it was nice!
On this page you may find 16 of my favourite options that I actually have played over and over throughout the years. Ever since I started taking part in the original Grand Theft Auto I've been hooked on the gameplay that the collection provides. This service permits you to enroll in or affiliate a Google AdSense account with HubPages, to be able to earn cash from advertisements on your articles. No knowledge is shared unless you engage with this characteristic. Play by the 36-mission singleplayer campaign, expertise the life-like terrain, and wield the unbelievable powers of the Gods.
StarCraft 2 affords an excellent single-player marketing campaign and likewise has a vibrant multi-participant community, due to the in-recreation ladder and matchmaking system. As such, StarCraft 2 will particularly appeal to those who are after a competitive RTS recreation. The series takes itself a lot less significantly, nevertheless, and has a really comical and light-weight-hearted strategy to gameplay, which makes for a very refreshing experience. I thoroughly loved this collection and had some good laughs at just how loopy a number of the missions had been. I suggest buying this sport via Good Old Games though (particularly 1 and 2) to stop compatibility issues.
Huh, I can't bear in mind how many hours did I spent playing Fallout and RPG video games basically. It's one in every of my favorite gaming genres. As far as the true-time technique genre goes, I've never been more impressed with a game than I am with StarCraft 2. Get your fingers on the very best modern day RTS game that takes place in our very own galaxy. The Saints Row series has a powerful emphasis on open-world gameplay and permits gamers to roam its huge open world and complete the storyline at their very own tempo.

Last night I tried out this recipe for Sun-Dried Tomato and Bacon Chicken and it was GREAT! Soooo good and and took only 20 minutes to make. Best part – it's another healthy recipe :) I got the recipe from one of my favorite blogs, The Girl Who Ate Everything (surprise, surprise). This girl makes the best stuff - I like how her recipes don't need a lot of prep or baking time and they don't use a ton of crazy ingredients.
Here's her recipe – definitely try it out!
- I used 1/2 can of diced tomatoes (drained) instead of whole tomatoes. Hubby thought it was better this way and it saved some time!
I give this a 10/10 – hubby LOVED it. We both agreed this would be even better (if that's possible) by marinating the chicken in the sun-dried tomato dressing overnight, so we will plan ahead and do that next time.

SAGAMORE BEACH — The Dunkin' Donuts on Meetinghouse Lane was closed Saturday after authorities were called to investigate an unknown substance found in the building, a Bourne fire official said.
Rescuers were called to the coffee and doughnut shop to respond to medical emergency and a person was brought to Tobey Hospital in Wareham with injuries that were not life-threatening, Bourne fire Deputy Chief Ryan Haden said.
Dunkin' Donuts staff found a bag of an unknown substance in the building around that time and firefighters requested a state HAZMAT team to the scene.
The building remained closed as of 9 p.m., Haden said. He could not specify the victim's injuries or the type of substance.
Bourne police said they did not have any information on the incident.

Lauren Beukes On Writers and Their Cats
Community 03-08-16
This post is part of our International Women's Day celebration. See all the posts here.
This is a guest post from Lauren Beukes. Lauren is a former journalist who got to interview homeless sex workers, electricity cable thieves, and township vigilantes among other interesting people, before she turned to writing kids cartoons and full-time novel-writing. Her books include Zoo City, Broken Monsters, and The Shining Girls and have been translated into 26 languages and won multiple awards, including the Arthur C Clarke Award, the University of Johannesburg Prize, The Strand Critics Choice Award, and the August Derleth Prize. She lives in Cape Town, South Africa, with her daughter. Follow her on Twitter @laurenbeukes.
I normally wake up at five am, not from any writerly duty, to use that magic quiet time to steal some words before I have to get my daughter ready for school, although I should, but because our kitten, Sage, jumps onto the bed and starts frantically purring and padding and nipping at my fingers to let me know she was out adventuring but now she's back and shouldn't I stroke her and make a fuss and feed her. But this Monday I woke without her to ominous quiet.
I've had several writer cats over the years. Smoky, my half-Siamese, half-Persian grey, watched me writing stories in long hand from the time my five year old tiny mind was blown when I discovered that writing was a job you could have, Like, you actually get paid to make up stories! For a living! I've never wanted to be anything else since then, although it took me 20 years before I published my first short story.
But Smoky was there when I was 17 and writing my first novel, an epic fantasy about tricksy demons and a cursed heroine, lending furry moral support, while I cracked out 60,000 words two-finger typing in Word Press on my Pentium 1. (That novel is going to remain in a drawer where it belongs, to the end of time, and will be burned on my death, as it deserves, thanks for asking). She died of old age in Johannesburg.
In 1999, living in Cape Town, I got a black kitten with a white star on his chest from a friend. I named him Mir, because the space station was in the news at the time, a bright glint in the darkness. Shortly afterwards, I moved to New York for love, and then to Chicago to get over the heartbreak and left Mir with my dad. When my aunt asked him about the name, my dad, always the raconteur, told her an elaborate story about Mir being literally a space cat – that the Russian space agency had devised a fund-raising endeavour to fertilize cat eggs in space and sell off the space kittens for $250,000 each, but because I did the PR for them, they paid me with the runt of the litter. She believed it for months.
Mir was a huge tom, who sometimes got mistaken for a dog at first glance, full of grump and charisma. When I came back, he sulked for days, refusing to let me touch him. He'd sit on my desk and idly bat any loose objects on to the floor, while I was writing my first book, a non-fiction pop-history, Maverick: Extraordinary Women From South Africa's Past. If he claimed my chair, he'd defend it with tooth and claw and the only way to get him to relinquish it was by spinning it round and round til he got dizzy and jumped off.
When Mir went missing one night, we put up posters all around the neighborhood offering a reward and advertised in the local paper. We had a pet psychic phone us to say she knew he was alive and would be coming back soon, which was plausible, seeing the last time he'd gone missing we'd found him at a neighbour's down the road, luxuriating in front of the fire being fed roast chicken.
A day after he was missing, a man with a limp and twitching speech, clutching the reward poster, rang the doorbell to say he'd seen a boy bury our cat in the field. I thanked him, but said I'd need proof. Could he show me? But he was struggling to communicate and I thought he was making it up.
By the end of the week, I was desperate. I walked down the road, knocking on every door to ask, and seven doors down, a young Dutch guy answered, and said, why yes, he had seen my cat. He went for his daily morning walk with his cup of coffee and his dog and he found Mir dead on the side of the road, obviously hit by a car. And he doesn't like cats and he thinks black cats are bad luck, but he couldn't stand to see a dead animal lying there, so he went back home and got a black plastic bag and a spade and carried his body to the field where the African immigrants come to play soccer in the afternoon. And he buried him under a tree, so he would have shade, with a view of the sea, and near the highway, so he wouldn't be lonely. I wept at his thoughtfulness and for our big mean tom who was so loved.
Nikita and our ginger tom, Sputnik, aka Boy, saw me through Moxyland and Zoo City and The Shining Girls and the birth of our daughter, Keitu in 2008. When Boy nuzzled Keitu for the first time, she broke out in a rash, but he never bit or scratched her, even though her favourite move was collapsing on top of him.
Boy used to sit on my desk, curled up next to my laptop while I wrote late into the night, terrified of my success and the pressure of winning awards, of getting a big book deal, and trying to write to live up to the most evil high expectations – my own. He was never overly affectionate, but he'd keep me company in the lonely hours of writing, when I was stuck in my head with imaginary people.
I got divorced in 2014 and the cats stayed with my ex in the home they knew. Boy died of cancer last year and when my daughter, now seven, is having sad or complicated feelings, she goes to: "missing Boy" as her way of explaining how she feels. She says his ghost walks with her and keeps her safe.
I got a new kitten, Ivy, a calico with weird face-markings. My friend Dale Halvorsen, aka award-winning cover designer Joey Hi-Fi (who has done all my South African covers, which are closest to the souls of my books) describes the way they make her look as a "burn victim Ewok."
When Dale and I started writing our horror comic, Survivor's Club, together, we elected Ivy as our third co-writer. We'd hold up pieces of paper with two plot options on them and let her paw the one she thought was the better choice. She'd climb Dale's leg like a tree, clawing her way up his jeans and would bat at my fingers while I was typing.
But Ivy was lonely and bored, so in November last year we went to a rescue organization called Raise 'n' Rescue and Keitu picked out a tiny black and white little girl kitten called Sage to come home with us.
Sage was precocious and fearless. She rugby-tackled Ivy and chewed on her head, climbed everything climbable and made great leaps off tables and window sills and down the staircase. She insisted on sitting on our laps while we were writing, but her favourite thing was chasing cockroaches. This made her an even better writer cat than normal, because as you probably know, writers are very fond of snacks. And snacks produce crumbs and crumbs, well, crumbs attract roaches, although I'd never seen one until the great huntress Sage started dragging them out of the dark crannies they hid in and into the dining room where I work during the day, so she could chase them around, while I lifted my feet off the floor and yelped "Just kill it, already!"
All past tense.
Because Sage didn't come home at all. My housemate said she'd heard a terrible ruckus from the dogs in the house behind us at 3am. Worse than usual.
Full of dread, I went down the road, calling for Sage, listening for her little raspy meow, the jangle of the tag on her collar, and ringing all the other door bells on the way to ask, just in case.
"Jesus Is Lord" it proclaimed in the window of the squat 1930s house painted a fleshy pink, tucked away behind the black wrought iron fence. I rang the intercom and after a minute, a woman peered out from the lace curtains, "Yes, can I help you?" she said, warily.
"My kitten is missing, we heard your dogs barking at 3am, maybe…"
"Just a minute. I'll go see."
She took so long to come back I thought, I hoped, she'd forgotten about me. Gone to check, nope, nothing there, and got distracted by daytime television or something.
I was about to ring the doorbell again, when she emerged from the side of the house, carrying a little body wrapped in a white blanket, a black and white paw sticking out stiffly in front.
She was crying, "I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I feel terrible. What can I do? I can't bring her back, but I feel so bad, what can I do, please tell me?"
She passed me that small stiff package through the fence. "There's nothing. Please. Thank you." I said, numbly. "Thank you."
I carried Sage home, holding her against my chest to fumble with the keys to open the door. I sat on the kitchen floor and unwrapped the blanket to see her cold and rigid, her life fled away. She was covered in grass, her fur plastered with mud. There was no blood, no bite marks. They must have thrown her and broken her neck or snapped her spine.
At least, I thought, a thousand at leasts: at least it was probably quick, at least they didn't rip her apart, we heard the barking, so I was able to find her today, at least we know what happened, at least we can bury her.
But all the at leasts weren't as comforting as I thought they'd be. I sat next to her on the kitchen floor and sobbed and sobbed and then I washed the body with a wet cloth, stroking the mud out of her fur, one side, then the other.
Love is blow-drying your dead cat so she'll look okay when your seven year old comes home, so she can say goodbye. Love is the friends who come round to sit with you while you do it and hold your hand.
The rigor mortis wore off by the time Keitu came home from school, so she was able to hold Sage's body, wrapped in the blanket, in her lap, sobbing.
She wrote Sage a letter: "I love you so so so so so so so so so so so so so so so much. I miss you so so so so so so so so so much I could die. I hope you find ghost cockroaches to chase in heaven. I hop you find the soul of Boy and Mir so you can play with them and pouns on them."
We buried Sage in our garden, in a grave strewn with rose petals, with her favourite toy and a little bit of food and water and a treat, for the afterlife, and a prayer to Bast, the Egyptian Cat Goddess to guide her there. We planted sage over her grave so she could give life to something growing.
And we told stories about her and what she meant to us, because that's all we really have in life, the stories we tell about ourselves that stay behind, and the pets that share in them, and for writers, that keep us company in the lonely telling of them.

Juvenile Justice Policy Paper
Home Essay Samples Juvenile Justice Policy Paper
Juveniles are all persons under the age of 18years and as minors, they deserve a kind of justice system that favours them to improve their lives teenage ill behavior is a worrying trend amongst many English and American nationals as it is at this age that one can either make or break their lives. It is seen as a decline in the unity in the families and community as the child is nowadays considered only as the parents responsibility and not that of everyone as a whole as in the past. This brought about concern on wanting to come up with a juvenile justice system to avoid a situation where when, these persons would blame the government for not seeing the importance of an alignment project so to speak (Bishop, et al. 1996). The youth being the future, this tends to be a fragile topic to handle in the essence of them being the next leaders and citizenry, it is important to come up with ways of reducing juvenile misconduct.
Homelessness a factor encouraging behavior in the Juvenile Justice system and has an effect of access of bail upon arrest thus they are in remands. Other factors are: Aboriginals or live alone, mental incapacity due to torture when younger or experiences in life. School dropouts who cannot get decent jobs or run away from home and school lead to use of drugs and alcohol and eventual crime. There are several consequences which are: an escalation of recidivism which is all a repeat of the same bad behavior. There is overcrowding in this institutions to a point that one can get illnesses and there is overworking of the facility workers (Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, 1999). Also with this come factors that contribute to increase which are;
Lack of stable accommodation; Since they have nowhere to go once they are out, they still opt to be within the correctional facilities as they are ensured of a roof, food and place to sleep.
Bail Act; This was enacted in 1978, and it gives a limit on the bails to uphold irrespective of the offence.
Unworkable bail restrictions; This are characterized and restrictions like curfews and perimeter limitations.
In the recent past there have been two types of occurrences which have led to the handling of juvenile handling over time. The first is that the society seems to have taken up the habit of unlawful misbehavior and not leaving the juveniles out of it as they tend to behave as they observe the second is a disparity from of the past from the knowledge of the present. This has caused quite an essence of contempt that there is a problem with our juvenile custody system together with ways of solving it and its reason (W.J. Warren, 2005).
In the early 20th century, there was an inclination to doing good in the society which involved capital offences even for children, approved schools and in-house police custody as the police had enough time to burn, and then they could discipline the children. All this was before the job culture hit in leading to individualism (Public Policy Research (IPPR), 2006). This article also was of the suggestion that the social inequity and parents not having enough time for their children as they are in and out of work is enough to prove that children are acting wrongly.
Criminal behavior from the past was more polite as compared to the brutality today more unjustified as not much investigation was being conducted worsening by the new generation. Government action has come to take upon this holding by calling upon a vague 'golden age' myth of peace and Concord to justify 6the upcoming criminal justice policies of moving back to behaviors of the 1930s of respect for all in society (Platt, 1977). The second is a disparity from of the past from the knowledge of the present; this involved Approved Schools and Borstals in the 1950-1960s which were common for meting out undignified treatment and atrocious punishments Northern Echo, 2003) which was based on the system of the time, known as "the regime of Victorian reformatories". With the human rights declaration of today, such treatment is highly unaccepted and illegal terming those punishments as uncivilized.
There is a problem which is associated with the superciliousness based on what is observable in that there was as much similar problems as there are today (Geoffrey Pearson,1952). In comparison it was will noting that the children of those days in the past in Approve schools, the children go without food, proper beddings or recreational facilities and upon this, they would be compelled to change but as compared to today, that is very hard to achieve as they come out even worse than they got in (Falconer, 2004). There is almost nothing new in the establishment of and actually what has changed is the leniency in the juvenile justice system. Both these myths are more of apparition As compared to things on the ground in that child back then got into as much trouble as today because of the lack of jobs and idleness.
The juvenile justice system has developed chronologically through history proposing that existing government has amongst the least persuading attributes in dealings with juvenile criminals. In that there is more compromise on youthful crimes resulting from dispossession and not personal responsibility. Diminished responsibility of the young criminals existed way before in the 17th century believing that children were "doli incapax" – incapable of distinguishing right from wrong unless proven otherwise. The Reformatory and Industrial Schools Act came about to mainstream the gaps that existed while juveniles were receiving custodial sentences in correctional facilities (Falconer, 2004). The Children and Young Persons Act ensured that duty of courts was to have the child's best interests at heart. Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) which are rights to life, survival and development, against discrimination.
Public and political opinion of juvenile crime are a combination are a wrongful that give one a sense of melancholy and unawareness of actual facts on the ground and give position of juveniles which is often quite punitive leading to grievous consequences. The punitive and self imposed confidence in modernity has brought about political satisfaction of the juvenile system.
There were similar problems shared with juveniles and adult prisoners meaning that they should also have constitutional rights being protected emphasized in the case of; Kent v. US 1966 and in re Gault 1967 ensuring their rights are also upheld (Loraine, & Allison, 1994). The Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, was enacted to ensure that the government and local communities provide preventative, community-based services to youth subject to being delinquents through the U.S. Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention; thus giving the government a sense of caring for its citizens. The case of Thompson v. Oklahoma set the precedent for juvenile sentencing as was held by the U.S. Supreme Court that the execution of juveniles' under16years of age was unconstitutional. Death penalty for minors was unconstitutionalized in 2005 Roper v. Simmons.
Correctional facilities emphasize on diversion giving consensual commitment of an offence and the revelation not being used against them and instead a fair trial process is conducted this of course is presented with evidence. Certain principles have to be maintained when dealing with juveniles:
The response should be proportional to the offence and in best interests on child and community;
in as much as there are restrictions, one should have a sense of their rights respected;
restriction if crime was against another person;
as he is still a child his best interests should be at hand.
Alternative to imprisonment should be explored such as; care, guidance and thorough supervision, counseling; probation; foster care; education and vocational training programmes and detention should come when all ventures have been explored.


Forums - Sony Discussion - inFamous 2. What the %$#! happened!?
To everyone in this thread that stated that they "are broke": Ask yourselves, did you go broke buying PS3 exclusives? If the answer is no, I do not accept your excuses. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. ASHAMED!
hey, I got the hero edition on day one! I did my part.
£50 on the PSN store is disgusting.
I called this in January that PS3 games would see low sales. I straight up called it. The fact is there's too many games and the kind of users who go out of their way to support 1st party titles and research them online are stretched thin with all those games as well as the HUGE number of quality multi-plats. Your going to see the same thing with Resistance and Uncharted and Ratchet and Clank. They will all sell lower than their predecessors. MS from a business perspective has the much better strategy. Release a few games from 1st party, hype the hell out of them, and see big sales. Sony may be better for the "Core Gamer" by providing a lot of experiences but financially MS has the better strategy.
Only if we look at it from game profits POV.
Because somehow PS3 mysteriously outsells X360 despite higher entry price , psn hacking and move being nowhere near as succesfull as kinect.
Also don't look at me, i bought the Hero Edition and got the Platinum trophy for the game, awesome game and deserves every sale! I'm sure it will sell on par with the original, or more once all done!
my PS3 died...so not blame me...blame Sony!!!
It should have been multiplatform.

Q: GIT push fails from Windows Machine to SFTP site mapped by win-sshfs We decided to use our SFTP site as a bare GIT repository for our windows development machines.  We were able to create a repository, clone it to the dev machines, and push our initial checkin.  Subsequent pushes at a later date have failed:
$ git push origin master
Counting objects: 21, done.
Delta compression using up to 8 threads.
Compressing objects: 100% (20/20), done.
remote: error: insufficient permission for adding
an object to repository database./objects
remote: fatal: failed to write object
fatal: sha1 file '<stdout>' write error: Broken pipe
error: failed to push some refs to 'w:/mvc-solution.git'

Our setup:
I am on a windows machine and have a drive letter W mapped to our sftp site.  I am able to map my drive W: to the sftp site using win-sshfs.
We installed git on our windows machine using msysgit.  git version says this:
git version 1.9.5.msysgit.0

We did a cd /w to get to our repository location, and then ran git init --bare mvc-solution.. Then we cloned the repository to the developer machine ( git clone mvc-solution.git c:/myDeveloperCodeRepo ) and then changed into the developer directory ( cd c:/myDeveloperCodeRepo ).  We dropped the source code into the directory, ran git add ... and git commit -m 'Initial Checkin'.  We then ran git push origin master without any problem.  We verified our code is on the SFTP site via FileZilla and also via the mapped W: drive letter.  Elated, we told our boss that we created a repository with our SFTP site to manage our Windows code.
Then, one day later, we made changes to the developer machine code (added a directory with some files -- spreadsheets, text files, images).  We added the files, commited them, and then tried to run git push origin master.  No joy. Instead, we got the message above (...failed to push...). In other words, were not able to push the files to the sftp bare repository anymore.
We remounted the mapped drive connection (win-sshfs) without any problem, and made sure we could access the sftp site using just Windows Explorer and the W: drive.  We also tried running git config core.sharedRepository true ; we have tried different internet connections, both over wifi and ethernet from different locations.  No luck.  Again, we are not on Linux, Mac or any other Unix-type machine.  Other than GIT, we aren't using any unix-like shell and we are just using typical Windows tools to manage our files.  The same developer machine that did the initial checkin is the developer machine that attempted to do the subsequent push.

A: OK, I found out how to fix things.  The problem seemed to be with the sshfs program I was using, and not GIT.  To get this to work, I downloaded Eldos Net Drive Free
Then, I set the timeout settings to 60 seconds (just to make sure, might not be necessary), after clicking on the profile settings button. I was able to almost push with GIT, but I got an error message saying "couldn't set refs/heads/master".  I checked the repository and there was not any problem with the HEAD file.  In the end, it appears GIT tries to do some file move/rename action, which wasn't supported over the mapped SFTP drive.  But, in my case, the fix was easy.  I went into the profile settings again (for the Eldos SFTP net drive program), and put a checkmark in the checkbox that says "Delete existing target before moving."  I ran the "git push origin master" command, and it went through.  It was really slick.  So, now we have a shared GIT repository using the SFTP site, which we map using that net drive program, and then use the Windows Git program to run GIT commands.
Update:
OK, it appears that Eldos Net Drive no longer works and is no longer supported.  This solution will no longer be available as a fix for using Eldos Net Drive to map drives to an SFTP server.  Also, several errors that occurred with other SFTP drive mapping tools now occur with Eldos Net Drive.  None of the settings available in the new version of Eldos Net Drive fixed the problem.

Discrimination Against Those With AIDS
When one ... look[s] at the experiences of people with HIV/AIDS, two things stand out. The first is the diversity of people with HIV/AIDS. The second is how often and in how many ways people with HIV/AIDS are stigmatized or discriminated against. Sometimes it appears as if the various people with HIV/AIDS have only two things in common: HIV infection and HIV-related stigma and discrimination.
HIV/AIDS and Discrimination: A Discussion Paper
An Epidemic of Stigma and Discrimination
In many ways the stigma of HIV/AIDS has had an even wider reach and a greater effect than the virus itself. The stigma of HIV/AIDS affects the lives not only of people with HIV/AIDS, but also of their lovers, families, and caregivers. It affects not only those who are stigmatized, but also those who stigmatize them through their attitudes or their actions - in the community, on the job, in professional capacities, in public office, or in the media. Often, the stigma of HIV/AIDS adds new prejudices to old.
Since the beginning of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, there has been a second epidemic - one of stigma and discrimination. Today, stigma and discrimination associated with HIV/AIDS are still pervasive, but the forms they take and the context in which they are experienced have changed.
This epidemic of stigma has consequences: people with HIV/AIDS have been prevented from seeking or obtaining the health care and social support they require; adults with HIV/AIDS have lost their jobs or have been denied employment, insurance, housing, and other services; children with HIV/AIDS have been denied day care.
Stigmatization has also been a barrier to prevention efforts: because of their beliefs and values, some people (and governments) have chosen to withhold information about preventing the transmission of HIV, and have supported laws and policies that make the victims of stigma more vulnerable to HIV infection.
One Step Forward ...
The early societal panic about AIDS has diminished. The federal and several provincial human rights commissions have adopted policies that clearly state that disability or handicap provisions in existing human rights acts protect people with HIV against discrimination. More and more Canadians know someone who lives with HIV or has died of AIDS, prominent celebrities have announced that they are HIV-positive, and AIDS activists have won admiration in many quarters of society. These developments have somewhat lessened fears that the inevitable result of infection with HIV is complete social isolation.
... But Discrimination Remains Pervasive
Nevertheless, today stigma and discrimination associated with HIV/AIDS are still pervasive in Canada, although the forms they take and the context in which they are experienced have changed.
The epidemic of HIV infection is expanding among diverse populations, many of whom live on the margins of Canadian society: injection drug users, prisoners, Aboriginal people, young gay men, women. While many aspects of HIV-related discrimination are the same for all populations, in some ways the experience and impact of discrimination are unique to specific populations. The most marginalized people living with HIV experience many forms of stigma and discrimination. They also have the least resources or support to enable them to fight back.
With the advent of protease inhibitors and combination therapies, many - but not all - people with HIV/AIDS are living longer and enjoying better health. While these therapies have produced considerable benefits, the often-made presumption that people with HIV/AIDS can now lead "normal" lives is dangerous. For example, it has resulted in a tendency to become more restrictive in determining whether they qualify for disability benefits. The fact that people with HIV/AIDS are still vulnerable to stigma and discrimination is forgotten in these discussions. In many ways, the era of combination therapies has exposed people with HIV/AIDS to a greater threat of discrimination. As one person stated: "I was able to remain invisible living with HIV until two years ago. Now I have to carry my bag of medications around all the time - I am always visible. I carry my stigma around."
The era of combination therapies is also raising new concerns about the ethics of informed choice in treatment decisions. There are reports that people with HIV/AIDS have been pressured by their physicians to begin treatment with the latest generation of HIV drugs and have been denied services if they refuse to begin treatment.
There continue to be problems of access to care for marginalized populations. People with HIV/AIDS are often not provided with the support they need to assist them in maintaining the complicated combination therapy regimens.
Discrimination has become more subtle and less explicit. In the past, for example, people may have been fired outright when it was discovered they were HIV-positive. Today they may be laid off for "other reasons," or they may be harassed and pressured to the point that they quit their jobs or go on disability. Fear of being identified at work and of losing their job, in fact, prevents some people from taking HIV-related medications.

It Would Have Been Different Story If Invaders Of US Capitol Were Blacks – Biden
United States President-elect Joe Biden has said that it would have been a different story if those who attacked the US Capitol yesterday, January 6 were Black people.
"No one can tell me that if that had been a group of Black Lives Matter protesting yesterday, they wouldn't have been treated very, very differently than the mob of thugs that stormed the Capitol", he said.
President Donald Trump's supporters had stormed the Capitol as Vice President Mike Pence was about to perform his role in the electoral vote count. The edifice is the meeting place of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Thousands of Trump's followers clashed with the police as they re-echoed his claims of election fraud. Four people died in the violent protest which started after the American leader vowed "never to concede".
Meanwhile the Senate Minority Leader, Chuck Schumer, has called for the immediate impeachment of President Trump.
This was even as President's ex-ally and former Attorney-General, William Barr, fingered President Trump in the orchestration of the mob action, describing it as "a betrayal of his office and supporters."

Delegation divided on trade deals
by Deirdre Shesgreen
WASHINGTON — Sen. Joseph Lieberman says three trade deals pending in Congress could do more to create jobs than anything else lawmakers are debating right now. Sen. Richard Blumenthal says they could undermine workers' rights, environmental protections, and America's strained manufacturers.
Those two divergent views help to explain why the three agreements with Colombia, Panama, and South Korea are mired in the legislative muck right now.
Last week, a Senate hearing on the trade pacts ended in chaos. GOP lawmakers refused to attend because majority Democrats had planned to attach an assistance package for workers who are displaced by foreign trade deals and the global competition they bring.
Today in the House, the Ways and Means Committee plans to hold a mark-up on the pacts, and it's unclear whether that session will go more smoothly. The panel's Republican majority plans to move the trade deals forward without the worker assistance provisions, a move sure to enrage Democrats.
Rep. John Larson, D-1st District, who sits on the Ways and Means, is among those who've vowed to "actively oppose" the Colombian trade deal in particular. The Colombian agreement is the most controversial of the three, but they're all sparking a political fight.
The three deals were negotiated separately, but they would do essentially the same thing: eliminate tariffs on goods and services sold between the U.S. and South Korea, Panama, and Colombia.
"I'm strongly for them," said Lieberman, a Connecticut independent. "To be a bit parochial, Connecticut is a very big exporting state, so the more we promote trade the more it creates jobs in our state." Indeed, Lieberman argued that "of all the things we're talking about doing here to create jobs… these three trade agreements would do more than anything else I've heard discussed."
Blumenthal, by contrast, said the Panama and Colombia pacts are "unacceptable to me," arguing that they don't do enough to protect workers or the environment, let alone U.S. firms trying to compete in a global marketplace. He said the deal with South Korea is not as problematic, but he remains deeply skeptical about its merits.
"There are a number of issues that need to be addressed," Blumenthal said. "The first is assistance to workers, which right now is still in question. That would be a sort of threshold deal-breaker for me even to consider the South Korea pact."
The worker assistance program is known as Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA), created in 1974 to help workers who are laid off because of increased foreign imports. The program provides re-training assistance and other services to help displaced workers develop new skills and find new jobs.
Trade has long been a divisive political issue, and a particularly tough one for Democrats. Republicans generally support free trade deals, which are a major objective for big business interests that usually align more with the GOP. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, for instance, has made passage of these three deals a top political priority this year, and the lobby group is pressing Republicans to back down from their opposition to the TAA funding.
The Chamber has set up a sophisticated website that shows the economic benefits of exports by state and congressional district. There's Ahlstrom Nonwovens, for example, whose Windsor Locks facility exports $93,000 worth of toilet paper to Colombia each year. According to the chamber site, it's one of 243 exporting companies in Connecticut, supporting more than 52,000 jobs in the state.
Democrats, meanwhile, have generally been more skeptical of free trade deals, as have their political allies, big labor unions. The AFL-CIO is pushing to kill the three agreements, which they say will send more American jobs overseas. Richard Trumka, the labor federation's president, said trade pacts like NAFTA have cost the U.S. an estimated 700,000 jobs and have been "a miserable failure for working people."
The three trade deals now pending in Congress were negotiated by former Republican President George W. Bush. But his administration failed to win passage of them before he left office.
Now, the Obama Administration is leading the charge, saying the deals would be a major boon to the economy. The U.S. International Trade Commission says the South Korea agreement could generate more than $10 billion in additional exports of U.S.-made products. At the same time, officials acknowledge that some American workers will lose their jobs because of new imports from abroad.
In June, the White House struck a deal with two congressional leaders-the respective chairmen of the House and Senate trade committees–to include funding for the TAA program as a condition of congressional approval.
But rank-and-file Republicans have balked at that agreement, calling the worker assistance an expensive and unjustified welfare program. And many Democrats didn't like the trade deals to begin with, whether or not they included the TAA money.
"We show up at these negotiations having already lost," said Rep. Chris Murphy, D-5th District, because the U.S. does so little to support its domestic manufacturing base.
"We refuse to target taxpayer dollars to domestic procurement. We refuse to take on countries like China that don't play by the rules. And we don't do the same things other countries do to support their domestic industries," Murphy said. "It's going to be nearly impossible for me to support any of these free trade agreement so long as this country neglects to put into place a comprehensive industrial policy."
The Colombia pact is garnering particularly stiff opposition among Democrats because of that country's internal strife and repression, particularly against labor union activists. To address that issue, the White House negotiated a special "action plan" to improve workers rights in Colombia. But that plan hasn't been included in the implementing language being considered by the House GOP.
Larson said the failure to attach that side deal doesn't make economic or moral sense.
"The more the people of Colombia improve their lot, the more demand there will be for American goods and services," he said in a statement last week. "It would be irresponsible for the United States to now backpedal and move forward without inclusion of the Action Plan in the implementing language."
Rep. Jim Himes, D-4th District, who lived in Colombia when he was growing up, said he hasn't decided how he's going to vote on these trade deals. But, he said, "It's not immediately obvious to me that disengaging is a better way" of addressing the human rights issues in Colombia than "engaging" through the new trade agreement.
Lieberman said he hopes Republicans will not block the trade agreements over the worker assistance funding, which he sees as a key element of free trade. But, he said, it shouldn't be a deal breaker. He noted that Colombia is actively seeking increased trade with China.
"We're going to lose markets in Colombia for American made goods that the Chinese will be selling to, because we're being really more demanding than we need to be," he said. "We've brought the Colombians a long way on the labor issues, and the important thing now is to think about jobs for Americans."

A category delimited by a range of sample values. A categogy may be either qualitative or quantitative. For exemple, a classified image may have a qualitative category defining sample value as water. An other qualitative category may defines sample value as forest, etc. An other image may define elevation data as sample values in the range . The later is a quantitative category, because sample values are related to some measurement in the real world. For example, elevation data may be related to an altitude in metres through the following linear relation: altitude = sample value×100. Some image mixes both qualitative and quantitative categories. For example, images of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) may have a quantitative category for temperature with values ranging from ?2 to 35?C, and three qualitative categories for cloud, land and ice.
More general equation are allowed. For example, SeaWiFS images use a logarithmic transform. General transformations are expressed with a MathTransform1D object. In the special case where the transformation is a linear one (as in the formula above), then a object may be understood as the interval between two breakpoints in the JAI's piecewise operation.
All objects are immutable and thread-safe.
A default category for the boolean "false" value.
A default category for "no data" values.
A default category for the boolean "true" value.
Constructs a quantitative category for sample values ranging from inclusive to exclusive.
Constructs a quantitative category for sample values in the specified range.
Constructs a qualitative or quantitative category for samples in the specified range.
Constructs a quantitative category mapping samples to geophysics values in the specified range.
Constructs a qualitative category for a boolean value.
Constructs a qualitative category for sample value .
Constructs a quantitative category for samples in the specified range.
Compares the specified object with this category for equality.
If , returns the geophysics companion of this category.
Returns the set of colors for this category.
Returns the range of sample values occurring in this category.
Returns a transform from sample values to geophysics values.
Returns a hash value for this category.
Returns if this category is quantitative.
Returns a category for the same range of sample values but a different color palette.
Changes the mapping from sample to geophysics values.
Returns a string representation of this category.
A default category for "no data" values. This default qualitative category use sample value 0, which is mapped to geophysics value Float.NaN for those who work with floating point images. The rendering color default to a fully transparent color and the name is "no data" localized to the requested locale.
A default category for the boolean "false" value. This default identity category uses sample value 0, the color black and the name "false" localized to the specified locale.
A default category for the boolean "true" value. This default identity category uses sample value 1, the color white and the name "true" localized to the specified locale.
name - The category name as a String or InternationalString object.
color - The category color, or for a default color.
sample - The sample value as a boolean.
sample - The sample value as an integer, usually in the range 0 to 255.
sample - The sample value as a double. May be one of values.
sampleValueRange - The range of sample values for this category. Element class is usually Integer, but Float and Double are accepted as well.
colors - A set of colors for this category. This array may have any length; colors will be interpolated as needed. An array of length 1 means that an uniform color should be used for all sample values. An array of length 0 or a array means that some default colors should be used (usually a gradient from opaque black to opaque white).
lower - The lower sample value, inclusive.
upper - The upper sample value, exclusive.
scale - The scale value which is multiplied to sample values for this category.
offset - The offset value to add to sample values for this category.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if is not smaller than .
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if or are not real numbers.
Constructs a quantitative category mapping samples to geophysics values in the specified range. Sample values in the will be mapped to geophysics values in the through a linear equation of the form: x = offset + scale×s and coefficients are computed from the ranges supplied in arguments.
geophysicsValueRange - The range of geophysics values for this category. Element class is usually Float or Double.
java.lang.ClassCastException - if the range element class is not a Number subclass.
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the range is invalid.
Constructs a qualitative or quantitative category for samples in the specified range. Sample values (usually integers) will be converted into geophysics values (usually floating-point) through the transform.
sampleToGeophysics - A transform from sample values to geophysics values, or if this category is not a quantitative one.
Returns the set of colors for this category. Change to the returned array will not affect this category.
Returns the range of sample values occurring in this category. Sample values can be transformed into geophysics values using the getSampleToGeophysics() transform.
The range of sample values.
Returns a transform from sample values to geophysics values. If this category is not a quantitative one, then this method returns .
Returns if this category is quantitative. A quantitative category has a non-null sampleToGeophysics transform.
if this category is quantitative, or if this category is qualitative.
colors - A set of colors for the new category. This array may have any length; colors will be interpolated as needed. An array of length 1 means that an uniform color should be used for all sample values. An array of length 0 or a array means that some default colors should be used (usually a gradient from opaque black to opaque white).
A category with the new color palette, or if the new colors are identical to the current ones.
Changes the mapping from sample to geophysics values. This method returns a category with a "sample to geophysics" transformation set to the specified one. Other properties like the sample value range and the colors are unchanged.
Note about geophysics categories: The above rules are straightforward when applied on non-geophysics category, but this method can be invoked on geophysics category (as returned by geophysics(true)) as well. Since geophysics categories are already the result of some "sample to geophysics" transformation, invoking this method on those is equivalent to concatenate this "sample to geophysics" transform with the specified one.
sampleToGeophysics - The new sample to geophysics transform.
A category using the specified transform.
If , returns the geophysics companion of this category. By definition, a geophysics category is a category with a range of sample values transformed in such a way that the sampleToGeophysics transform is always the identity transform, or if no such transform existed in the first place. In other words, the range of sample values in a geophysics category maps directly the "real world" values without the need for any transformation.
objects live by pair: a geophysics one (used for computation) and a non-geophysics one (used for packing data, usually as integers). The argument specifies which object from the pair is wanted, regardless if this method is invoked on the geophysics or non-geophysics instance of the pair. In other words, the result of depends only on the value in the last call ().
Newly constructed categories are non-geophysics (i.e. a sample to geophysics transform must be applied in order to gets geophysics values).
geo - to get a category with an identity transform and a range of sample values matching the geophysics values, or to get back the original category (the one constructed with ).
The category. Never , but may be .
Returns a hash value for this category. This value need not remain consistent between different implementations of the same class.
Returns a string representation of this category. The returned string is implementation dependent. It is usually provided for debugging purposes.


Yesterday, to get home from Gen Con, we drove for about 13 hours. We went from Indy to Atlanta via Memphis. We had to drop off a friend at his place. We'd picked him up on the way, too, but we split the trip into 2 parts. The way back was just one long burn down the road. Fun fact: There's not really much to see driving from Atlanta to Memphis and then Memphis to Indianapolis. Whole lotta nothing right there.

The ningyo, which translates as human fish (known also as gyojin, meaning human fish , or hangyo-jin, meaning half-fish human ) is a creature in Japanese folklore that is comparable to the mermaids in Western legends. Despite the similarity in concept, i.e. the ningyo and mermaid being creatures with both terrestrial and marine body parts, these two entities are actually quite different.
For example, in Western folklore, mermaids are generally regarded as beautiful, seductive beings who would lure men to their deaths. As for the Japanese ningyo, there is no such 'standard' story, as these creatures not only vary in the way they look, but also in the way they are said to interact with human beings.
Differing Appearance
Unlike their Western counterparts, the Japanese ningyo, in general, are much less attractive. They are often portrayed as creatures with the top half of a monkey and the bottom half of a fish. Such ningyo have also been made by the Japanese, one of the most famous examples being P. T. Barnum's 'Fiji Mermaid' .
Nevertheless, there are also ningyo which bear even less resemblance to the mermaids of the West. For instance, it has been claimed that in numerous local traditions, the ningyo do not have human (or even ape-like) torsos at all. Instead, they have just a human / ape-like / reptilian head attached to the body of a fish. At times, these heads are depicted grotesquely, i.e. misshapen / horned / with a mouthful of razor-sharp fangs.
Are tales of mythical mermaids inspired by a real-life medical condition?
Ten Discoveries of 2014 that Suggest there is Truth to Ancient Myths and Legends

There is also a type of ningyo known as the amabie / amabiko, which is said to have the beak of a bird, and is covered with scales from the neck down.
Mystical Abilities
The ningyo are believed to have mystical abilities, and a variety of magical aspects have been attributed to them. For example, they are often said to be able to cry tears of pearls. In addition, some ningyo, like the amabie, are thought to be able to foretell the future.
In one story recorded during the 19th century, an amabie is said to have appeared and prophesized both good harvest and the plague. Additionally, the amabie mentioned that in order to avoid the plague, people should make an image in its likeness.

Other ningyo are reported to be less benevolent, and are capable of shape-shifting, an ability which they supposedly use to lure men into the sea, and their deaths.
The 800-Year-Old Nun
The most well-known belief about the ningyo's supernatural powers, however, is that by eating their flesh, one is able to gain eternal life, or at least an extremely long life span. There are numerous stories telling of the magical qualities of the ningyo's flesh. Still, none is more famous than that of the 'Happyanku Bikuni' (meaning '800-year-old Buddhist nun').
The Strange Merman of Banff: Legendary Lake Monster or Just a Trading Post Treasure?
This tale begins with a fisherman who caught a ningyo. He invited his friends to his house for a meal, though he did not reveal to them that they were going to have the flesh of the ningyo. His friends, who guessed the source of the meat / found out about it without the fisherman's knowledge, did not eat the food. By chance, however, the fisherman's young daughter ate the meat. She stopped growing at the age of 15, and eventually became a nun, wandering about until her death at the age of 800.

Tenshou-Kyousha Shrine's Ningyo
The ancient Japanese believed in the existence of the ningyo, and even have physical evidence for its existence. The Tenshou-Kyousha Shrine in Fujinomiya houses the preserved body of a supposed ningyo. According to a legend, a ningyo once appeared to a Japanese prince. As the creature was about to die, it told the prince about how it became such a creature. Apparently, this ningyo was once a fisherman. As a result of trespassing protected waters in order to fish, a curse was laid on him, which transformed him into a ningyo.

The fisherman learned his lesson, and requested the prince to found a shrine where his preserved remains may be displayed. This was so that all who viewed the body of this creature may be reminded of the sanctity of life. It is possible that this ningyo is one of the earliest specimens of 'mermaids' created by the Japanese, the most famous of which was the Fiji Mermaid.

Jeopardy! should be retired because of the proliferation of winning streaks -- or the five-win rule should be brought back
Friday 1/14/22 at 3:34AM EST
"Jeopardy! has lost the spirit that made it an American institution," says Tom Nichols. "I am not the first to notice that the show, like other formerly amateur pursuits in America, has become professionalized and mostly closed to the casual player. It is no longer a show that celebrates the smarts of the average citizen; it is now a showcase for people who prep and practice, who enter the studio determined not to shine for a day or even a week but to beat the game itself. This, combined with the abolition back in 2003 of the long-standing rule that you must retire after five wins, has created long streaks where a few players over time crush the daylights out of the sacrificial lambs who have no real chance of beating the reigning champ without either a dash of luck or an unforced error." Nichols points out that returning champions with winning streaks have a huge advantage, having become comfortable on camera and mastering the clicker. "Watch the veterans play after they've won a few games. They have cracked the code, which, as paradoxical as it seems, includes completely ignoring the host," says Nichols. "The losers—again, you can watch this happen—are very focused on looking at the host, but the winners are looking at the board. They're reading ahead, forming an answer, and waiting for the light to go on. In my best moments on the show, it was me and the board, that little light, the buzzer, and nothing else. If you've done all this even two or three times, new players are at an instant disadvantage. No one wants to play against a returning champ." Nichols adds: "Jeopardy! used to be a spirited, and limited, competition among ordinary Americans. Now we watch because we want to see James or Matt or Amy squash a passel of newbies every week, hapless victims for whom victory is mathematically out of reach within 20 minutes. This doesn't reflect well on our culture. Bring in more people and make it about watching your friends and neighbors again."

It is located in Bagno di Romagna, in Via Fiorentina on the facade of the civic n ° 7. It is small and bears the following inscription: "IN THIS HOUSE, VERSANDO VIVO SANGUE, MARIA, I MANIFESTO ', QUEEN OF PEACE, AT 21 JANUARY 1498 ". Next to it is the profile of the "Madonna del sangue". It was placed in 1808 to commemorate the house where on 20 January 1498 a woodcut depicting the Madonna poured blood because of the great discords that tore the inhabitants of Bagno. In this house in 1607 an oratory was erected, transferred in 1620 inside the Basilica where the miraculous image (a XV century woodcut), called "Madonna del sangue", is kept in a special chapel.

If you do not sleep well, have you thought about the best foam mattresses that could help? You wake up tired and with back pain every day after a long night and a disturbed sleep. Well, perhaps it is time to change your mattress. If the mattress you sleep on now has more than 7-10 years, it is understandable that it does not promote comfort at night, in any way.
Sleep is the chapter of the day which is, unfortunately, often neglected. You spend a third of life sleeping, and this passive activity is essential for your health. It helps you recharge the batteries after a long day. A good sleep can influence your mood for the next day and a good mattress keeps your spine in the right position.
The organism is active at night, it regenerates, it renews cells and it does it better depending on how peaceful our sleep is. A good sleep is very important for our backs. The intervertebral discs act as shock absorbers which will not relax unless the spine is in the correct position. For this, it needs proper uniform distribution support. To benefit from a restful sleep, a comfortable mattress is very important. The foam mattress allows the cancellation of all accumulated tensions during the day and favors relaxing the body and muscles of the spine.
In general, the best foam mattresses have a density between 25 and 85 kg / m3, which provides good support to the spine. In addition, this type of mattress offers an independence movement against the partner, anti-microbial and hypoallergenic environment and a plastic memory which adapts perfectly to the specific shape of your body.
Choosing a mattress is an important step … whatever the reasons why you want to buy a mattress. You can sleep on any mattress, but you can not truly rest on any mattress! The mattress is what makes the difference between a morning when can not wait to take a new day and one in which you still feel terrible fatigue from yesterday.
Your physical status: mattress may be responsible for the creation, maintenance or worsening back pain, muscle pain, and allergies.
Your mental state: if you do not sleep deeply and if you wake up refreshed and relaxed, you can not enjoy life, you can not concentrate, and you can not properly cope with stress when it occurs.
1. You feel like you do not sleep well and are irritable during the day and you can not concentrate. A mattress that does not allow complete muscle relaxation and deep sleep is often the main culprit for bad psychological condition and poor management of stress during the day.
2. You wake up in the morning tired, numb, stiff. If the mattress put too much pressure on the body and blocks blood flow, the effect will be accentuated and cause discomfort during the day.
3. You wake up with back pain. If you happen to have back pain in the morning, you can be sure it's time to turn the mattress.
4. The mattress was deformed in the area you sleep on. You might be familiar with this deformity and you will seem comfortable, but this can have consequences on your physical condition in the long term. Change the mattress and look for one that'll keep the spine in the normal position. The best foam mattresses do not put pressure on your back and do not block blood circulation. They also can give you maximum comfort at the same time.
5. The edges are soft and it feels like the mattress has springs when you lie in bed. There are signs that your mattress does not provide support and it has too many pressure points that block blood flow.
6. In the middle of the mattress appeared a dent and you roll over your partner. And this threatens the quality of sleep.
7. Your current mattress is more than 7-10 years. Experts say that currently, mattresses older than ten years must necessarily changed because it is likely to be deformed and no longer offer support, comfort, and ergonomics. Another reason is that, no matter how well it was maintained, it may have become an environment for mites, fungi or bacteria. If your mattress has reached the age, surely it's time to change it.
Now, you probably wonder what are the best foam mattresses to buy out there?
The material: a foam mattress can be made of foam or memory foam classic form or even a collaboration of the two. Both materials offer many specific advantages, so it is difficult to rule which of the material would be the best. The truth is that the best foam mattresses depend largely on your sleep pattern and comfort required by your body. A classic memory mattress has a density of about 25 kg/m3, and a foam mattress density is between 55 and 85 kg/m3. The density and the material affect the firmness of a mattress product, spine position and independent movements towards the partner. In general, a person with a little weight will not have back pain sleeping on a mattress with low density.
Dimensions: a mattress thickness must be at least 18 inches to provide good support. Thus, this means that its quality increases with the thickness. Meanwhile, its length must be at least 15 inches higher than your height so your feet do not exceed bed. If you use a single mattress, 90-120 x 190-200 centimeters is enough. If you sleep with a partner, the optimal size of the mattress is at least 160 x 200.
Hypoallergenic properties: especially if you are allergic, the material on the surface of the mattress must be treated against dust mites and pathogens. The quality of a mattress to be hypoallergenic provides extra safety, especially for allergic people with asthma or other respiratory diseases.
The spring mattress: consider that with the purchase of new mattresses will probably have to change the spring mattress too. This is also important if it is worn as your old mattress or is not compatible with the new size chosen. If you use the same old spring mattress which is distorted, you might contribute to the fact that the new mattress will wear out very quickly and lose in quality faster than anticipated.
Maintenance: how to take care of the mattress is a very important detail. The advantage of buying a new mattress consists of a very long period of use, which reaches up to 10 years. But to get there is your responsibility to turn your mattress every six months, to vent periodically, to vacuum it 3-4 times per year and to avoid wetting or bending it. If you selected a model which comes with a removable cover, then you can clean it according to the manufacturer's instructions.
It is not chill for no reason, this is really designed for the softer and chilled experience you should have. The premium cover has a feature that consists of changing the material in such a way that it will absorb your heat and dissipate it. This way you will always have that refreshing and chilling feeling on the surface. Thus, it is a high-quality mattress, adapting your body accordingly, and helping it to maintain a good position. Which is kind of a goal to look forward to when you are buying a mattress, am I right? This mattress is also great because it has heavier materials that come together to offer you the support you need so your body can relax completely. Also, the brand put a lot of effort into this mattress to give you the feel of a personalized comfort. No matter what you choose, this mattress can be adjusted according to your needs, so they offer you different feels. Well, I love it even more! Just try it out and see for yourself, I am definitely going to!
When it comes to practical and efficient, this is one of the best foam mattresses to choose. And let's see why exactly because it has so many great features. First of all, it looks really simple and it has an elegant aspect to it. What I like most about it is the fact that it is great for many instances, for an apartment, dorms, dens or for when you travel and you need to take it with you. Yeah, that's right, it can fit perfectly in any tiny spaces, which is kind of a big deal. You can also use it for different activities, you can read, play video games, you can take it to camping. All of this is possible because the cover can be removable and it can be washed in the washing machine. The brand also is proud to have made it of CertiPUR-US® Certified high-density Foam which does not allow the mattress to sag, making it light, portable and easy to storage in small places. And this is only the beginning. The mattress has dual functions which mean you have two options to use it. First, you can use it as a temporary bed. You can do this because whenever you have an unexpected guest, you can just take this comfortable mattress and unfold it in seconds. We all need this feature because you never know when a friend might stop by and needs to sleepover. Second, you can use it as a sofa. Thus, it can also be folded into a comfortable couch so you will not lose the space you need in your home. Also, it will be perfect even for kids, adults or guests because another feature is that it offers a comfortable sitting. I really think this mattress is consistent and a solid mattress to have in our house. It really doesn't matter how you use it, as long as it gives you many options to choose from. It is an impressive design behind everything which makes it a luxury, if you think about it.
This foam mattress is completely designed to support your vertebrae. The brand was careful to offer a comfort of 480 tempered steel independently-encased coils which creates an equal weight distribution. And this is amazing work because it helps your body to relieve every single one of your pressure points, supporting your neck shoulders, your back, and your hips. Another advantage that I especially like is that it has a structure with an independently-encased coil which reduces motion disturbance. Isn't this amazing? For me, personally, this is one of the best foam mattresses out there. No doubt about it, especially because I use and I can totally speak from experience.
This exceeds any expectations of the best foam mattresses everyone has ever experienced. I found it to be an extreme luxury due to their design. It has gel-pro features that will help you to sleep better and feel royal just like a hotel bed. Also, this advanced gel-infused memory foam will offer extra comforting, helping your body to regulate its overall temperature while sleeping. Of course, it also offers great support for almost weightless experience due to its best support foam. The cover's textile is also premium quality, removable and it helps the air flow to just move freely. Thus, you will have that fresh and cooling feeling to it. This designed is meant to fit any bed frame which is another big plus for you. However, my favorite thing about it is that this mattress also offers a 25-years warranty. This is quite a confidence from this brand making the purchase even more risk-free. I think this is the best experience you will ever have with a mattress and it provides a huge amount of trust when it comes to purchasing the best there is.
DreamFoam? It kinda says it all, ain't it? Well, this is what I think. This can be described as the ultimate dreamy mattress and it advertises that it is the perfect bed for any kind of sleeper. Thus, it comes with a firm support, contouring the body perfectly. It is also very good in relieving the pressure points along the neck, the shoulders, the back and the hips. I don't think there is room for more because the product in itself seems like an excellent choice when you are facing the problem of the best foam mattresses.

Q: Bootstrap 3 navbar dropdowns are cutted of I have a navbar:

which contains several menu points with dropdowns. To avoid line breaks before breaking into the md-viewpoint I planned to make this navbar scrollable on the x-axis.
This is working withtout any problems with the following code:

    Item

Subheading

....

...

....

My CSS looks like this:
.header-container-nav-master {
 width: 100%;
 background-color:#fff;
 height:52px;
 padding:0px 18px;
 border-bottom: 1px solid #e5e5e5;
 border-top: 1px solid #e5e5e5;
 white-space: nowrap;
 overflow-x: scroll;
 overflow-y: visible;}

 .header-container-nav-master ul {
 height:100%;
 padding:0;
 display: flex;
 align-items: center;}

 .header-container-nav-master ul li {
 font-size: 12px;
 letter-spacing: 0.75px;
 padding-right: 22px;
 color: #1f1f1f!important;
 display: inline-block;
 list-style:none;}

As shown in the example pic I have the problem that the dropdowns are cut off from the following container.
Has anyone an idea how to solve this issue?

A: The problem in this case is the overflow-x: scroll; that you have in your CSS.
Took the code you gave here and put it into codepen.
Take a look at that it and see the comments in the CSS block: https://codepen.io/anon/pen/WJRwOx
In order to avoid the menu breaking onto 2+ lines, you'll want to trigger the Bootstrap menu to collapse sooner (i.e. turn into the mobile menu). This is because a side scrollable nav bar isn't good for user experience, and it causes styling issues.
Additionally, I see you have a
 as a direct child of your
. As far as I know, you shouldn't nest divs inside ul elements in HTML5, as some browsers may autoclose the parent ul element.
Hope this helps!

Neudorf ist ein Ortsteil der Stadt Harzgerode im Landkreis Harz in Sachsen-Anhalt (Deutschland).

Geografie

Geografische Lage
Neudorf liegt im östlichen Unterharz, südlich der Stadt Harzgerode und ist mit dieser durch eine Buslinie der Harzer Verkehrsbetriebe verbunden.

Der Ort liegt auf einem Hochplateau etwa 440 m über dem Meeresspiegel im Quellgebiet der Schmalen Wipper. Umgeben von den stehenden Gewässern Gondel-, Grenz-, Enten-, Birnbaum-, Teufels- und Fürstenteich sowie diversen kleineren Gewässern besitzt Neudorf eine Wasserfläche von 421 Quadratmeter pro Einwohner und ist damit (laut dem statistischen Bundesamt 2012) der wasserreichste Ort Sachsen-Anhalts.

Geschichte
Im Gelände des südlich von Harzgerode gelegenen Teufelsteiches wurde erstmals 1179 das Dorf Bölkendorf erwähnt. 1409 von Fürst Bernhard VI.  von Anhalt an die Herren von Hoym verlehnt, geriet die Gemarkung später an die Stolberger Grafen. 1531 ließ hier Graf Botho der Glückselige von Stolberg Neuendorf (Neudorf) anlegen und gliederte den Ort in das neu gebildete Amt Bärenrode ein. Die ersten Dorfhäuser wurden um den heutigen Kirchplatz errichtet. Ackerleute waren die ersten Siedler. Sie bauten bald eine kleine Kirche und erhielten 1542 den ersten evangelischen Prediger. 1576 wurden die Herren von Hoym Pfandinhaber des Amtes Bärenrode und verpfändeten es ihrerseits 1585 an Fürst Joachim Ernst von Anhalt. 1608 zählte die Einwohnerschaft des nun anhaltischen Dorfes 37 Grundstücksbesitzer, sieben Hausgenossen und dazu Pfarrer sowie Schulmeister. Ein freier Sattelhof mit Schäferei war von den Fürsten als Lehen vergeben.  Der Dreißigjährige Krieg verwüstete das friedliche Dorf. 1806 wird von 58 Häusern mit 370 Einwohnern, die sich von Ackerbau, Viehzucht, Kohlenfahren und Holzhauen ernährten, berichtet. Geprägt wurde Neudorf seit seiner Gründung aber auch vom Bergbau und entwickelte sich besonders seit dem Ende des 18. und zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts zum Bergmannsdorf. Schon frühzeitig wurden seine bekanntesten Erzgruben Meiseberg und Pfaffenberg erwähnt. 1454 bestand schon eine Hütte unter dem Pfaffenberg und 1457 belehnte der Halberstädter Bischof den Stolberger Grafen mit dem Bergbau am Meiseberg. Nach Unterbrechungen und auch eingeschränkter Fördertätigkeit wurden die Neudorfer Gruben ab Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts zu den wichtigsten der Harzgeröder Region zuletzt vor allem durch die Förderung von blei- und silberhaltigem Erz, was sich deutlich in der Entwicklung des Dorfes widerspiegelte. Zählte es 1818 456 Einwohner, so stieg ihre Zahl über 1843 mit 819 auf 951 im Jahr 1905. 1823 war erstmals im Revier, in der Grube Pfaffenberg, eine Dampfmaschine für die Wasserhaltung eingesetzt worden. Die Ermordung zweier verhasster Bergbeamter am 9. Februar 1848 wird als Auftakt der 48er Revolution in Anhalt gewertet. 1887 entstand die jetzige Backsteinkirche. Schließlich wurde auch ein Arbeiterwohnheim für die vielen angeworbenen Arbeitskräfte des Bergbaus errichtet.

Bekannt wurde Neudorf im Harz durch den Bergbau und die dabei aufgefundenen Mineralstufen großer Schönheit, die bereits im 19. Jahrhundert begehrte Sammelobjekte waren (v. a. Stufen mit Bleiglanz-, Siderit-, Quarz-, Zinkblende- und Bournonit-Kristallen). Stufen dieser Zeit befinden sich u. a. in der Zincken-Sammlung im Schloss Bernburg. Neudorf war neben Straßberg lange Zeit ein Zentrum des Unterharzer Bergbaus. Die jüngeren Teile des Unterharzer Teich- und Grabensystem, des bergbaulichen Wasserwirtschaftssystems des mittleren Unterharzes, liegen größtenteils auf der Gemarkung Neudorf. Eine Vielzahl von Bergbautannen weisen heute im Ort auf die Lage der alten Bergwerke und der anderen bergbaulichen Anlagen hin.

Am Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts endete die Bergbautätigkeit im Neudorfer Revier. Die Einwohnerzahl ging drastisch bis 1912 auf rund 600 Personen zurück. Nach Stilllegung der Gruben wurde der Fremdenverkehr als neue Erwerbsquelle ins Leben gerufen. 1929 registrierte man 1000 Erholungssuchende. Die von einem Bergmann entdeckte Stahlquelle wurde 1931 für den Fremdenverkehr erschlossen und trug zum guten Ruf Neudorfs als Erholungsort bei.

Zu DDR-Zeiten unterhielt der VEB Mansfeld-Kombinat "Wilhelm Pieck" Eisleben Werksbahn ein Betriebs-Ferienlager "Freundschaft" im Ortsteil Neudorf. Am westlichen Ortsrand betrieb zudem das VEB Getränkekombinat Dessau bis 1990 ein Kinderferienlager, dessen Überreste heute dem Verfall preisgegeben sind.

1985 wurde Neudorf staatlich anerkannter Erholungsort.

Wichtigster Arbeitgeber ist gegenwärtig die Pflegeheim Drexler GmbH.

Am 1. September 2010 wurde Neudorf nach Harzgerode eingemeindet.

The former Desperate Housewives star's return to a primetime starring role is strong evidence that if you are looking for the role you were born to play, create it for yourself. Based on an idea by Eva Longoria, Telenovela is, as my video review about says, a sometimes very funny and stylized single camera half-hour comedy that is about a lot more than it lets on – which is pretty good for Big 4 TV in a season that has seen very little of such smart laughs.
With a 2-episode preview on December 7 right after The Voice before moving to its regular Monday 8:30 PM spot after fellow newbie Superstore on January 4, Telenovela is a welcome reflection of America 2015 as well as an on-the-money satire and love letter to a beloved TV genre watched by millions daily.
The gist of this Telenovela is a backstage look at a long-running VivaVision soap show lead by star Ana Maria (Longoria), who badly tries to hide the fact that she can't actually speak Spanish. Perhaps in lesser hands, it would all become a tired 1-liner very quickly but with an infectious buoyancy from Longoria's great comic timing, Telenovela has a lot of bounce – and a great wind machine. Also, the Chrissy Pietrosh and Jessica Goldstein-written and EP'd show from Longoria's UnbeliEVAble Productions, Universal TV and Tall and Short Productions has a strong supporting cast that includes Diana Maria Riva as the show's wardrobe boss and Ana Sofia's official best friend.
So, check out my video review above, because whether you are fan of telenovelas or not, Telenovela is fluently funny and worth a look.


Trinity Women Graduates is an association open to all female graduates of Trinity College Dublin and also to female graduates of other recognised universities who live in Ireland. Originally founded as Dublin University Women Graduates Association as on 25th April 1922, its held its inaugural meeting in Trinity week that year.
The association's aim is to keep women graduates in touch with the university and with each other.
Following its foundation in 1922, it was given rooms in Number 6 where members met weekly for tea, organised special lectures, and published a newsletter.
In 2016 the association passed a unanimous vote to change its name to Trinity Women Graduates (TWG).

Members of TWG are also part of a global network of women graduates – Irish Federation of Women graduates (IrFUW), Graduate Women International (GWI) and University Women of Europe (UWE). Representatives of TWG attend international meetings as voting delegates.


Most of my cakes are covered with rolled fondant over butter cream icing. Occasionally my customers prefer butter cream, but there is nothing more elegant than the smooth finish of a fondant covered cake.
Our gourmet cake flavors and cream fillings are all made with farm fresh ingredients and fruit locally picked at Morris County farms here in Long Valley, Califon, Chester and Tewksbury NJ.
My decorations may be made with marzipan, fondant, pastillage, sugar flowers and piped decorations or royal icing. If you prefer, we can also offer cake toppers or monograms for the bride and groom, or special cake ornaments for any theme you choose.
There is no end to the variations of cake I can make. Remember to bring a picture of something unusual, a personal story or any other theme, and I will work with you to convert it into a cake! Since I design every cake and cupcakes to order and to match the preference of my customer in terms of decoration and colors, then rest assured the fillings are equally important. I can prepare other cake flavors or fillings not listed below, however I would need several weeks notice to test and prepare a new recipe. A cake must not only look good, but should taste even better!
We have many nut free recipes for you to choose from in the cake menu. The most popular are Yellow Vanilla, Chocolate and Red Velvet. However we are not a nut-free establishment, I do have some nut recipes, indicated with an asterisk, and at various times there may be Dried coconut, Pecans, Walnuts or Almonds kept in sealed canisters on my dry storage shelf, but no peanuts.
Vanilla cake with white chocolate cream, fresh strawberries and infused with champagne.
Remember, to arrange a cake tasting, just call (862) 205-9035 or send me an email.


Lone knight rides on quest, specific.
Just TRUE love as in stories told.
Love's long journey, horse fatigues.
Enters in to night's safe keep.
Beckons with love's siren song.
Sweet flowered scents in air, calm fear.
By nearby copse, sits fair young maid.
Doe soft skin on face now smiling.
His iron and mail, now strenuous.
Eyes locked in thoughts of fresh romance.
Buried thoughts of love, refound.
Never felt a feeling, such.
First chapter of their love is told.
