Re: Count Louis Philippe de Paris (1838-94) and his family
Who did she marry eventually?
How did she meet Eddy!
Any back ground her family? I know were father was a/the pretender to the French Throne.
She must have been a "woman of substanial subatance" as she was the personal choice Of Tsar Alexander III, Tsaria Marie and the Imperial Russian Ministers to marry Nicholas II!
It is my understanding QV more than approved of her!
"Fashion is so rarely great art that if we cannot appreciate great trash, we should stop going to the mall.
I will try my best, TB!!
Princess Helene was the daughter of Louis Philippe, Comte de Paris, who was the grandson of Louis Philippe d'Orleans, King of the French who was deposed in 1848. Helene's mother was Marie-Isabelle de Montpensier, the Comte's first cousin.
Helene had several brothers and sisters:
1. Marie-Amelie (1865-1951). She married Carlos I of Portugal.
2. Philippe (1869-1926). He succeeded his father as pretender to the throne, married Archduchess Maria Dorothea of Austria but died childless.
3. Isabelle (1878-1961). She married Jean d'Orleans, Duc de Guise, her first cousin.
4. Louise (1882-1958). She married Prince Carlos of the Two Sicilies.
5. Ferdinand (1884-1923). He married Maria Isabel de Valdeterrazo, but died childless.
After her separation from Eddy, she married Emmanuel Philibert, Duke of Aosta, cousin of Victor Emmanuel II of Italy in 1895 and had these children:
1. Amedeus II, Duke of Aosta (1898-1942). He married Anne, the daughter of Helene's sister Isabelle.
2. Aimone (1900-1948). He married Princess Irene of Greece.
Helene died in 1951 aged 79.

I'll just re-post this from the old Marguerite d'Orleans thread I started!
The Orleans cousins enjoying a lovely summers day. Marie (later Princess Waldemar of Denmark) is reclining against her cousin Amelie (later Queen of Portugal). Standing behind Amelie is Helene (who famously loved my Eddy and later became Duchess of Aosta) and the two younger children are Marguerite (Duchess of Magenta) and Prince Jean (later Duke of Guise).
It's easy to see why Eddy fell for her...

Helene has a very 'noble' face. Doesn anyone else think she looks a little like Queen Elisabeth of Belgium or am I crazy?
In whay year was she born?
Both..... .....
On another note,wasn't this the Duchess of Aosta that how should I put it,thought she was more of a Royal then the Italian Royal Family?Helene de France,was by all means,a very proud lady.Maybe Amedeo,or Umigon,Cimbrio can enlighten us?
Je Maintiendrai
She was born in 1871, thus 7 years Eddy's junior.
It's funny you should mention that, because I found this picture in a book, and swore it was Elisabeth, only to find it was Helene!
They do look alike! How odd! Were they related?
Here's Queen Elisabeth:
Yes, it is a very striking likeness!
Helene's mother was born a Spanish Infanta, while Elisabeth's was a Portuguese Infanta...maybe somewhere along the line they were related? Anyone else know for sure, to save me scouring the ENDLESS genealogy websites which make me go blind?!
They had a common great-great-grandfather in Charles IV of Spain - Helene through her mother Isabelle d'Orleans, whose mother was a Spanish infanta, and Elisabeth through her grandfather King Michael of Portugal, son of a Spanish Infanta. This is the nearest relationship I can find.
« Last Edit: December 31, 1969, 06:00:00 PM by Prince_Lieven »
In fact, the study of Helene's ancestors proves interesting.
Among them she could count:
-Charles I of Britain (through his daughter Minette)
-Felipe V of Spain and his wife Elisabeth Farnese
-Empress Maria Theresa and her husband Francois Stephen of Lorraine
-Louis XV of France
-Carlos III of Spain
Certainly 'royal' enough to marry Prince Eddy!
Are there any colour portraits of Helene d'Aosta?I have never seen any...
Couldn't find any portraits, but here's a nice pic with a four legged friend:


text: irk got into a fight with a lady at The News Stand in Quaker Square in Akron. Dirk had made a comment about Denise Levertov, which had displeased her, because, as it turned out, she was Denise Levertov. In short, though reports of this incident have been exaggerated somewhat, Levertov hit Stratton with her purse, which was quite heavy, having in it a hardbound copy of Moby Dick (a copy that Levertov later was accused of trying to steal from this bookstore), and Stratton, a feminist convinced of the equality and even the superiority of women, punched Levertov in the jaw as hard as he could. Levertov was unfazed by this and the elderly poet threw Stratton up against the Gay and Lesbian Studies shelves, which were knocked over. Both were uninjured and, eventually, even signed one another's books, as police looked on, waiting to take Levertov into custody.

Reach Records is an American independent record label specializing in Christian hip hop. The label was founded in 2004 by Ben Washer and the hip-hop artist Lecrae. In addition to Lecrae, the Reach Records roster contains artists like Tedashii, Trip Lee, Andy Mineo, 1K Phew, WHATUPRG, Wande,  Hulvey, and Limoblaze. The hip-hop collective 116 operates under the label and consists primarily of the label's solo acts. The artists Sho Baraka, Derek Minor, Aha Gazelle,
KB and Gawvi were formerly signed to the label, and DJ Official was under the label until his death.

History

Formation and early successes (2004–2010)

Reach Records began in Dallas in 2004, when 25-year-old amateur rapper named Lecrae teamed up with Ben Washer, a friend he met while doing youth ministry. According to Lecrae, knowing that people emulate the musicians they hear, it made sense to develop an "urban" label with Christian values.

In the same year that the label was formed, it released Lecrae's debut album, Real Talk, and in the following year, a more established Christian hip-hop label Cross Movement Records re-released the album, which charted at No. 29 on the Billboard Gospel chart. Also in 2005, Lecrae formed the hip hop group 116 Clique with his friends Sho Baraka, Tedashii and Trip Lee, and co-founded the affiliated organization ReachLife Ministries to help minister to urban youth. Over the next five years, Reach Records released albums by 116 Clique, Lecrae, Sho Baraka, Tedashii and Trip Lee, meeting with increasing commercial success. Lecrae's 2008 third studio album, Rebel, became the first Christian rap album to top Billboard Gospel chart, and reached No. 2 on the Billboard Top Christian chart while Trip Lee's 20/20 hit No. 2 on the Gospel chart.

In 2009, Lecrae moved from Houston to Atlanta re-locating the Reach Records in the process, and Tedashii released his second studio album, Identity Crisis, which charted at No. 2 on the Gospel chart. In 2010, Lecrae topped the Billboard Gospel, Christian, and Independent charts, and hit No. 7 on the Top Rap chart, with Rehab. Trip Lee topped both the Gospel and Christian charts with Between Two Worlds, and Sho Baraka reached No. 3 on the Gospel chart with Lions and Liars. Sketch the Journalist, a blogger for Houston Chronicle, considered that year's Reach Records Unashamed Tour raising the bar for a traveling Christian hip hop concert. Also in 2010, KB, a member of the hip hop group HGA, signed with Reach as a solo act.

Mainstream breakthroughs (2011–present)

In January 2011, Derek Minor, then known as Pro, joined the Reach roster in a partnership deal with his own label, Reflection Music Group. In April, Sho Baraka announced that he was leaving Reach Records, though he continued to tour under the label for the remainder of that year, and remained signed with Reach Booking. In the same month, Reach and its affiliate ReachLife announced that they had renewed their contracts with the distribution company Infinity Music and its parent, Central South Distribution. The label announced in July that another artist, Andy Mineo, previously known as C-Lite, had signed with the label. That November, HipHopDX published a story on the filmmaker Art Hooker, who was working on the documentary film Unashamed, which traces the rise of Reach Records and 116 Clique and their contribution to the global underground Christian hip hop movement.

DaSouth.com noted the high level of activity by the label in 2011, and considered the biggest move that the label that year was its Man Up campaign, a multimedia initiative by 116 Clique which featured a studio album, full-length film, and accompanying curriculum, panel discussion, and concert tour.

In 2012 Reach continued to bring Christian Hip Hop into the mainstream market when it became the first record label to hold its own showcase at the South by Southwest festival. Sketch the Journalist mentioned on DaSouth.com that the appearance of Reach was part of a larger surge of hip hop artists, both Christian and non-Christian, at the festival, as according to him "many are saying that 2012 was the year hip hop took over the South by Southwest festival." XXL noted that the label had "a string of well-received and commercially successful album releases and tours" that allowed it to become more prominent. Trip Lee released The Good Life, topping the Christian and Gospel charts and reaching No. 3 on the Rap chart, KB debuted his first studio album, Weight & Glory, at No. 1 on the Christian and Gospel charts and No. 9 on the Independent chart, and Lecrae released both his highly popular mixtape, Church Clothes, and his Grammy Award-winning sixth album Gravity, which debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 and topped the Gospel, Christian, Independent, and Rap charts.
In 2013, label affiliates were part of DJ Don Cannon's showcase at South by Southwest.

2013 saw the releases of Andy Mineo's first studio album, Heroes for Sale, on April 16 which charted No. 11 on the Billboard 200 chart, and sold 28,000 units the first week. Derek Minor's fourth album, Minorville, was released on September 10. It was his second and last with Reach. Minorville charted No. 1 on Billboard Gospel chart and sold over 8,000 units the first week. Lecrae's mixtape, Church Clothes 2, was released on November 7 and made available for free on DatPiff.com and also sold through iTunes and Reach's website. The mixtape was downloaded over 100,000 times in the first two weeks, and reached to No. 21 on the Billboard 200 chart.

2014—present

January 28, 2014, saw the release of Andy Mineo's EP Never Land, selling 26,000 units the first week, charting at No 13 overall on the Billboard 200. On March 4, KB released his EP entitled 100. The EP peaked to No. 22 overall on Billboard 200 while selling 14,000 units the first week. Tedashii released his fourth album, Below Paradise, on May 27, three years after his previous release. The album peaked at No. 17 on the Billboard 200, while selling more than 13,800 units the first week. Lecrae released Anomaly, the follow-up to the Grammy-winning album Gravity on September 9. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 88,587 copies in the United States. It is the first time an album topped both the Billboard 200 and the Gospel Albums chart. Lecrae also became the fifth artist, after Chris Tomlin (2013), TobyMac (2012), LeAnn Rimes (1997) and Bob Carlisle (1997) to score a No. 1 album on both Christian Albums and the Billboard 200. Anomaly also marks the sixth time that Lecrae topped the Gospel Albums chart and the fifth time he topped the Christian Albums chart. Since then, Lecrae has released two albums. He released All Things Work Together in 2017 and Let the Trap Say Amen (a collaborative album with Zaytoven) in 2018. He has also been featured on many single hits, including "Coming in Hot", his latest, a duo with Andy Mineo. In its second week of sales, the album sold 27,000 copies, bringing the total to 115,000 copies sold. In its third week of sales, the album sold another 17,000 copies, bringing the total to 137,000 copies. As of October 8, 2014, the album has sold 149,000 copies.

On January 13, 2016, Reach Records announced that one of its on-staff producers, Gawvi, formerly known as G-Styles, was signed as an official artist, and that he would be releasing his first studio album, We Belong. It was released March 2017. Gawvi was dropped from the label in February 2022, after, in the aftermath of his 2020 divorce, allegations surfaced that he had sent multiple women unsolicited sexually explicit photos of himself.

On October 28, 2022, Reach Records signed Nigerian born, UK based award-winning musician, singer-songwriter, Limoblaze, to its roster.

Clients rapidly get good at targeting, then injuring, the defined areas of weakness in another human.Don't get me wrong. It is not necessarily a thing of beauty to watch. Participants are often ugly in their 'look' but their effectiveness is without question.
The competitors in a combat sports event are hampered by agreed upon rules. Therefore they rely on developed athletic skills (being bigger, faster, stronger) in order to better the other guy and win the competition.
From an entertainment standpoint, real violence is hard to view, not because of the violence but because it is relatively boring since it's so one sided.In competition, using real violence would leave many competitors maimed, crippled, or killed. This would absolutely defeat the goal of the sporting event.
Where all this becomes a major problem is when someone attempts to use these mediums as a benchmark for 'fighting'. They expect to see lots of 'give and take' when training. They have a hard time realizing that real injuries are not something that you can shake off and 'keep fighting'.
At a recent demonstration I did for a business group at Harvard University I hammered this home by using some video clips of a martial artist showing a knife-fighting demo.
He made some claims about the knife and how a good cut will shut a man down and send him into shock. He then demonstrated his assertion on a hanging piece of meat. It all looked very impressive and I could tell the class was mesmerized.
Then I showed them grisly photos of prisoners in a fight who were cut numerous times, right down to the bone. These prisoners not only survived the attacks -- they killed their 'attackers'.This totally went against the knife-fighting expert's claims.
I then showed two other video clips, back to back, of prisoners 'shanking' (using an improvised stabbing tool) another prisoner until they killed the victim. Again this looked nothing like the nice back-and-forth technique the 'knife-fighter' showed in his impressive demo.
When I was finished there was dead silence. I had made my point and the rest of the time we had 100% complete focus.
I wasn't able to show this recent class the videos and it showed. Some people didn't 'get it' until the last day when we do 'Grabs, Punches, Holds and Chokes'.
That's when they see how much simpler it is to use violence rather than try a 'give and take' approach.
I'll make sure to always include the video upfront in future seminars. The old adage of a picture being worth a thousand words is very true!

ONE of the Gulf Hotel Convention & Spa's hospitality hotshots has returned to take over the hot seat as general manager and help orchestrate the property's 50th anniversary celebrations that will take place next year.
Fares Yactine is determined to ensure the legendary five-star property is up to the task and ready for the challenge from big-name newcomers recently opened in a highly-competitive hospitality sector.
Like other well-established properties, the parent company, Gulf Hotels Group, is investing heavily in upgrading facilities but few others can play the nostalgia card or possess the heart-pulling feel good factor to the same degree.
Father-of-two Fares, 44, understands that better than most. "It's an exciting moment for me. Gulf Hotel was always like home for me and although I've been away for seven years I was always a regular and always close to everybody here."
He admits that he took a 'bit of time' to decide whether to return to the fold after a successful spell with French hospitality giant Sofitel in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia but the challenge proved irresistible.
"The market dynamics have totally changed now," he said, "in terms of business, in terms of rates, in terms of supply of rooms. There are so many more hotels - and flagship hotels at that - from the time I was first here.
"So ahead of me is a very challenging job but that's why I came. I like a challenge, I don't like to be in my comfort zone.
"That's why I'm here and I have the full confidence in the team and in the product and I think we can take our fair share of the market, if I can put it in such a way.
"We have a good product, a legendary hotel with fabulous facilities and places to meet and dine. We just have to ensure the level of service is up to people's expectations because guests are very well educated about hotels and restaurants.
"In our case, we are not just a hotel supplying rooms, we also have a big stretch of restaurants. Our competition in not just other hotels, it's all the restaurants, those opened and opening in Adliya and across the island, that are offering customers great choices.
"Today, if we are not up to standard and don't go the extra mile building on our legend, we will be out of the game, which is why we have so many things happening."
That includes the renovation of the popular Sherlock Holmes and Al Waha outlets. As reported in GulfWeekly, the La Pergola Italian restaurant will be graced with the talents of multi-Michelin starred Italian chef, Giancarlo Perbellini, after a BD200,000-plus transformation and a similar sum will be invested in rooftop restaurant Fusions set to reopen with an outdoor terrace under the guidance of the hotel's young, talented Bahraini chef, Tala Bashmi.
Sherlock Holmes closed on Sunday for the start of its facelift which Fares said will create a more trendy and stylish outlet but still keep its 'very British style' that makes it so distinctive. Towards the end of the year Fusions will be fully remodelled too.
And it's the combination of new and old which the GM is convinced sets the Gulf Hotel apart from its rivals.
He's not the only one that feels like he's 'coming back home' whenever he steps through the hotel entrance; large numbers of customers do too.
"Many remember coming along with their parents as children and they now regularly return with their own kids," Fares explained. "They keep coming back because the Gulf Hotel is distinctive for its personalised service, our long-serving team know many by name, knowing who their father is, who their brother is.
"Today, many hotels offer a good service, have a nice set up of restaurants but what makes a difference with Gulf Hotel is its people."
That's why the 50th anniversary next year will be so special. Activities are planned to take place throughout 2019 and more details will be released shortly.
"We will be taking people on a journey through those 50 years," revealed Fares. "There will be a lot of amazing pictures on display for sure, as people love nostalgia. It's not just the history of the hotel, this is part of the history of Bahrain. There will be a lot of storytelling and sharing.
"The changes in the country over the period are remarkable. Once upon a time the Gulf Hotel was surrounded by water and today you have Juffair just a short distance away.
"We have also hosted numerous celebrities over the years, from the world of politics, music and art – so people will enjoy looking back and others may even remember the moment."
Attempts are being made to invite some of those big names still with us back to join in the celebrations, although the number still living is limited as well as some of the very first guests who stayed at the hotel.
Fares previously served the hotel as executive assistant manager, in charge of the food & beverage department, as well as health & recreation. In 2011 Fares, left to join the Sofitel Thalasssa Sea & Spa Bahrain, as hotel manager and since 2013 held the post of GM at the Sofitel Al Khobar the Corniche.
He didn't leave Bahrain, commuting daily from his home in Saar where he lives with his wife, Rana, an IT regional sales manager, and their two children, Rhea, 14, and Karl, five.
Although Bahrain has been home for 12 years, the Canadian national's home town is actually Montreal although he was born in Lebanon's Beirut. His family comes from the Beqaa Valley's Zahle area, coincidently sharing the name of Gulf Hotel's Lebanese restaurant.
Fares Yactine is a graduate of Les Roches International School of Hotel Management in Bluche – Switzerland and he has also worked with renowned hotel chains such as Metropolitan Hotel Beirut, Habtoor Grand Hotel Beirut and with IHG in Spain.
"When you choose hospitality as a career it's not only a job, it's a lifestyle. It becomes part of you," he explained. "So today, if you want to forge a career in this industry you have to be very accommodating, you need an out-going personality , you need to love people and give it all of your heart all of the time.
"It's something that I really enjoy – I like to be surrounded by people, listen to people and serve people."
Father, Souhel, 78, a university academic, mother, Rima, an agricultural engineer, and younger brother, Tarek, 40, a head of compliance, are supportive and proud of his achievements.
His management style is very much hands-on. An Internet search shows how he personally replied to a guest who commented on a holiday stay on an online travel review website and he was first up the ladder with a paint brush to leave his mark on one of his hotel's staff canteens.
Gulf Hotels Group are delighted to get their man. CEO Garfield Jones said: "We considered a number of candidates for the position but Fares was always our first choice and we are delighted to welcome him back to the Gulf Hotel family."

Get Maggie ready for Adoption! | Cane Corso Rescue, Inc.
Get Maggie ready for Adoption!
Biscotti (now called Maggie) is a very sweet gal who was abandoned last winter in a dog park by her owners. It didn't take long before a good Samaritan saw this sweet girl all alone as all the other dogs were being taken home for the evening by their owners. By the end of the night it was obvious – her owners weren't coming back for her. Thankfully for this amazingly sweet girl, there was a local boarding facility who took her in and kept her safe until they could find a safe place for her. That's where CCR came in! Her family had seemingly chosen to abandon her rather than get her medical treatment for the mass inside her eyelid. Her sweet demeanor and loving personality quickly won over everyone she met and she has been in foster care for the past few months. Now to finish her journey to her forever home we need to get her the surgery she needs to prevent any eye and vision issues in her future. The estimate for the surgery is $1200 – $1500. Any amount is greatly appreciated, we will be posting new pictures of this beauty after she is healed up from surgery!!
CCR is also seeking a new foster home to allow Maggie to heal up following surgery as her current foster parents are having unforeseen health issues. If interested please apply to foster/adopt maggie via her "dating profile" under adoptable dogs!

'Dreamgirls' cast spreads the love to heart transplant patient
From the stage to the bedside, the cast gets an A+ for this surprise
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDf5brQ9BHc
Up Next From The Uplift
By Kelley D. Evans	@kelleysthrngrl
You never know whose life you may touch throughout your journey. Desiree Roots, a cast member of the musical Dreamgirls, was touched by a man she met years ago, so she wanted to take some time to lift his spirits.
Roots first met Earl Fleming when she was 13 years old. At that time, she was part of the soulful musical The Wiz.
Fleming is currently awaiting a heart transplant at Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center in Richmond, Virginia. Roots and the cast were spending time performing in Richmond at the Virginia Repertory Theatre, so they decided to surprise Fleming.
According to WTVR, staffers at the Pauley Heart Center joined a few workers at the Virginia Repertory Theatre to make the surprise performance happen.
"He has literally been a part of my life ever since then. And he's family," Roots said.
TV journalist Shelby Brown posted a photo of the heartwarming occasion on her Facebook page.
Kelley Evans is a general editor at The Undefeated. She is a food passionista, helicopter mom and an unapologetic southerner who spends every night with the cast of The Young and the Restless by way of her couch.

I am pushing through at least 3 hours of Mastery training every day, am already well into phase 2, have all my credibility packets done, and I'm getting my business cards tomorrow! I just set up my realeflow account and am ready to start my marketing campaigns and putting in some offers! So excited and grateful for this incredible program. I have to say, Elisa and my full immersion team rocked! :) I love Fortune Builders!
Nate and Elisa are awesome!


We thought this was a DISGUSTING campsite with its 4 stars!
The roads are impassable, especially with caravans, but also for cars and bicycles. We had a 'so-called' water point: an old dilapidated wall with 2 cranes in which the grass and moss grew between the joints of the totally broken tiles. This point was a 100 meter walk for us and served for at least a few hundred people. We went once to see where the dishes had to be done (in a dark basement) much too small and of a grossness where your stomach turned around. Sanitary buildings were nicely decorated in themselves, but with the litter of weeks and limescale of years. You could only leave garbage at the reception, at least a kilometer away for us. Never seen such a BAD CAMPING !!

Former Coventry City captain Carl Baker reveals new baby news in most adorable way
The ex-Sky Blues skipper broke the news on Father's Day via Twitter - and fans were quick to congratulate him
Much-loved former Coventry City captain Carl Baker has announced he is expecting his third child.
The ex-Sky Blues skipper broke the news on Father's Day via Twitter, informing fans, who sent well wishes to the Portsmouth player in their droves.
Writing on the social media platform, the 34-year-old revealed: "Looks like I'll be waking up to an extra # FathersDay card next year."
The caption was accompanied with a photograph of wife Lynsey and his two sons, Louis and Jaden.
Fans were quick to send their congratulations, with one humorously telling the former Ricoh Arena favourite: "Congratulations mate ... couple more you have a good 5 aside team there!"
Chris made sure to tell Baker: "Congratulations Carl, make sure he/she is forced to support Pompey though."
But City fans were of a different opinion, with one cheekily writing: "Maybe another reason why u need a club closer to home maybe more wishful thinking in my part lol #pusb"

Coventry City Transfers: Carl Baker gets the fans' vote
Last month, City fans voted overwhelmingly that they'd like to see Baker back at the club.
As revealed by the Telegraph the former fans' favourite is wanted by Sky Blues boss Mark Robins who made him captain during his first stint as manager back in 2012.
And in an online Telegraph poll, 96 per cent of supporters who voted said they'd like to see the attacking midfielder back at the Ricoh .
Robins has already snapped up another ex-City skipper in Michael Doyle after the midfielder came out of contract at Pompey, whom he led to the League Two title at the end of the 2016-17 season.
And Baker, who waded in with nine goals to help Pompey get promoted as Champions, could be joining his car share buddy if he can cut short his contract at Fratton Park, where he has 12 months left on a two-year deal.
Baker still lives locally to Coventry and has spent the last 12 months commuting with Doyle from the Midlands to the south coast club.

Bigirimana move to Motherwell from Coventry City was "tough decision"
Doyle's desire to be closer to his home near Market Bosworth and his young family was a major factor in his decision to re-sign for the Sky Blues.
And the travelling and time away from his family is understood to hold similar concerns for Baker.
Like Doyle, Baker remains supremely fit for his age, making 46 appearances for Pompey last season.

how much do swat officers make Poll of the Day

This page explains the driving route from Girona to Barcelona. We've given the road names and signs to look out for, together with the prices of the motorway tolls you'll encounter. There's also a link to a website where you can get online maps of the journey.
Driving distance from Girona to Barcelona is 100km and traffic permitting, it shouldn't take more than 1 hour and 20 minutes down the AP7 motorway. Many people fly to Girona and then head on to take their holidays in Barcelona For more information see our page on flying into Girona.
The AP7 motorway is a toll motorway. This means that you have to pay to use it. Once you have left Girona and you are on the motorway, after a few minutes you will see signs that tell you that in 1000m you will have to pay the motorway toll. This is 'peatge' in Catalan and 'peaje' in Castiliano Spanish.
There are several booths to pay the toll at. It's easier to go to the one that says 'manual'. The others are either for use with a credit card (which can cause problems if your card isn't accepted and you are holding up the queue!) or motorists with a special ticket. The manual booths are manned and you pay the attendant through the window.
When you get to the booth the attendant will ask you for the toll fee and you should pay through the open window. If you want a receipt, ask for a 'ticket'.
If there is a lot of traffic when you approach the pay booths, I advise you to take your time and keep a sharp lookout for other drivers. Many people have to change lanes to get to the correct booth and this results in drivers crossing you from left and right.
There are two types of tolls - one where you have to pay, and one where you take a ticket. Normally the tolls where you have to pay will have a sign advising you 1000 metres in advance. It will say 'Peaje' or 'Peatge'. This is not always the case, but the general rule is that if you have passed through a first toll where you have taken a ticket, then the next one will be where you have to pay.
You still have to stop at the barrier, but this time you have to take a ticket. The ticket comes automatically from the machine next to the barrier when you pull up. Keep the ticket until you come to the 'peaje' or 'peatge' point on the motorway where you have to pay. Give the ticket to the attendant, and the amount you have to pay will be on the screen in front of you.
From the centre of Girona take the AP7 in the direction of Barcelona. You will pass by the town of Granollers, and then at La Roca del Vallès there's a toll booth. To leave the AP7 motorway you are looking fro the exit for 'Barcelona, Aeroport, Aeropuerto'.
When you get close to Barcelona, take the C-33 road. At this point you will have to pay the toll at Mollet. Then follow the signs for Ronda Litoral.
The online route planner by Michelin is useful to help you plan your route down to the last detail. It has all the road names and how many kilometres you have to stay on each road for.
Once you have reached Barcelona, you have a choice of heading on for the airport or going to a more central area of the city. If you have doubts about your route at this stage then head for the 'Ronda Litoral' which is the ring road around Barcelona.
Driving from Girona to Barcelona is easy, even if you've never driven in Spain before. The main road that you need is the AP7 motorway, and the length of the entire journey is approximately one hour twenty minutes.

Hi Everyone! So I know that this is the second Pumpkin Spice flavored recipe I'm sharing with you this week, but these whoopie pies were just too good to not tell you about! And it's the beginning of September, which means that fall is on its way, which is a good enough excuse for me! If you've never had a whoopie pie before, it's a sort of mini-cake sandwich with a filling. The first time I ever had one was at an Amish market in the beautiful Pennsylvania countryside where we used to take lots of trips when it was just a short drive for us. Those Amish markets are quite something! Their bakeries are filled with every possible traditional handmade baked good from breads, muffins and donuts to beautiful pies, cakes and whoopie pies. And with all the horses and buggies parked outside, it's like stepping back in time! So I decided to make my own version of this little sweet treat with some fall-inspired flavors. These Pumpkin Spice Whoopie Pies are a perfect fall dessert treat! They have the warm, spiced flavors of the season and are glued together with a deliciously sweet and thick cream cheese filling (that I could seriously just eat by itself. With a big spoon. Why can't that be considered dessert?!) They don't take very long to make and only use a couple of ingredients thanks to the cake mix shortcut, so if you are looking for a good pumpkin dessert this fall, give these a try!
1. First, make the whoopie pies. Preheat your oven to 375 deg F and line your baking sheets with parchment paper. In your electric mixer bowl, mix together the pumpkin and butter until you get a smooth, creamy mixture (the butter needs to be very soft for this). Then, add in the milk and eggs and mix again, until the mixture is smooth. With the mixer running on low, add in the spice cake mix in three portions, and mix until you have a smooth, thick batter.
2. Drop mounds of the batter into your baking sheets (about 1 1/2 tbs each. If you want your whoopie pies smaller/bigger, use less/more batter) a couple of inches apart to give the whoopie pies room to grow as they bake. Smooth out the tops with a greased knife before putting them in the oven. Bake for 11 – 14 minutes (depending on the size), or until the middle has set and the edges have browned slightly. Let cool completely before adding the filling.
3. To make the cream cheese filling, mix together the cream cheese, butter (both must be softened), confectioners' sugar and vanilla extract, until you have a smooth mixture. To assemble the whoopie pies, either pipe an amount of filling onto one half of the whoopie pie using a piping bag, or just use a spoon and do the same, then top with the second half of the whoopie pie, pressing down gently. Refrigerate the whoopie pies once they are done.
Oh my gosh! I had my first whoopie pie in Lancaster Country and loved it! Going to try your recipe this weekend! Please, Please, Please link this recipe to Stylish Friday Finds! This needs to be shared with ALL!

Newly devised sensor can detect explosives swiftly
New Delhi, Sep 24: In a development that could be of immense use in criminal investigations, Indian scientists have come up with a thermally stable and cost-effective electronic polymer-based sensor for rapidly detecting nitro-aromatic chemicals used in high-energy explosives.
The detection of explosives without destroying them is essential for criminal investigations, minefield remediation, and several other military and security-related applications. Chemical sensors play a vital role in such cases.
Though the explosive poly-nitroaromatic compounds can be analyzed very well using sophisticated instrumental techniques, the quick decision making in criminology laboratories or reclaimed military sites, or to trace explosives in possession of extremists often require simple, cheap, and selective field techniques which will be non-destructive in nature.
Non-destructive sensing of nitroaromatic chemicals (NACs) is, however, difficult. Earlier studies were based mostly on photo-luminescent property. Detection based on conducting property has not been explored so far.
A team of scientists led by Dr.Neelotpal Sen Sarma from the Institute of Advanced Study in Science and Technology, Guwahati, an autonomous institute of the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India, has filled the gap.
They have developed a layer-by-layer (LBL) polymer detector. The detector consists of two organic polymers — poly-2-vinyl pyridine with acrylonitrile (P2VP-Co-AN) and copolysulfone of cholesterol methacrylate with hexane (PCHMASH), which undergo a drastic change in impedance (resistance in an ac circuit) in the presence of even very low concentrations of nitro-aromatic compounds within few seconds. A chemical called picric acid (PA) was chosen as the model NAC, and a simple and cost-effective electronic prototype was developed for its visual detection. The study team has filed a patent for the novel technology.
The device can be operated at room temperature, has a low response time and negligible interference from other chemicals. The fabrication is simple and is negligibly affected by humidity. (India Science Wire)

The Iceland Field Trip is Full. If you are interested in being placed on the wait list, please contact the trip leader, Brennan Jordan.
A 10-day circuit of Iceland visiting geologic sites along the Ring Road with excursions off of this route to experience the geologic and scenic diversity of the island. Emphasis on magmatic and tectonic processes, but also including sites of geomorphological interest.
Brennan Jordan (University of South Dakota) is a petrologist and volcanologist who has conducted research in Iceland, the Pacific Northwest, and Mongolia. He is the founder and director of the Iceland Volcanology Field Camp offered annually by the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology since 2012. Between 2003 and 2011 Brennan directed four Keck Geology Consortium undergraduate research expeditions to study central volcanoes in the Neogoene stratigraphy of northwest Iceland.
Tamara Carley (Lafayette College) is an igneous petrologist who has worked extensively in Iceland since 2009. She investigates the origin and evolution of Icelandic rhyolite using geochronology, trace element geochemistry, and radiogenic and stable isotopes. She has co-led two interdisciplinary, cross-country, field courses in Iceland for undergraduate geology students.
Tenley Banik (Illinois State University) is an igneous petrologist and volcanologist who currently conducts research in Iceland and Nevada. Tenley was introduced to Icelandic geology in 2007 via investigations of subglacial volcanism and her current research—initiated during a Fulbright Fellowship to Iceland—focuses on magmatic-tectonic interaction and the evolution of silicic magmas. Tenley has been a co-instructor of the SDSMT Iceland Volcanology Field Camp since 2016.


Cappadocia is a historical region in Central Anatolia, largely in the Nevşehir, Kayseri, Kırşehir, and Niğde Provinces in Turkey. According to Herodotus, in the time of the Ionian Revolt, in these lists of countries, the Old Persian name is Haspaduya, which according to some researchers is derived from Iranian Huw-aspa-dahyu- the land/country of beautiful horses. Others proposed that Kat-patuka came from the Luwian language, meaning Low Country, subsequent research suggests that the adverb katta meaning down, below is exclusively Hittite, while its Luwian equivalent is zanta. Therefore the recent modification of this proposal operates with the Hittite katta peda-, Herodotus tells us that the name of the Cappadocians was applied to them by the Persians, while they were termed by the Greeks Syrians or White Syrians Leucosyri. Cappadocia appears in the account given in the book of Acts 2,9. The Cappadocians were named as one group hearing the Gospel account from Galileans in their own language on the day of Pentecost shortly after the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Acts 2,5 seems to suggest that the Cappadocians in this account were God-fearing Jews.
The region is mentioned in the Jewish Mishnah, in Ketubot 13,11. This division had come about before the time of Xenophon. The kingdom of Cappadocia still existed in the time of Strabo as a independent state. Cilicia was the given to the district in which Caesarea. The only two cities of Cappadocia considered by Strabo to deserve that appellation were Caesarea and Tyana, not far from the foot of the Taurus, Cappadocia lies in central Anatolia, in the heartland of what is now Turkey. The relief consists of a plateau over 1000 m in altitude that is pierced by volcanic peaks. The boundaries of historical Cappadocia are vague, particularly towards the west, to the south, the Taurus Mountains form the boundary with Cilicia and separate Cappadocia from the Mediterranean Sea. To the west, Cappadocia is bounded by the regions of Lycaonia to the southwest. This results in an area approximately 400 km east–west and 250 km north–south, due to its inland location and high altitude, Cappadocia has a markedly continental climate, with hot dry summers and cold snowy winters.
