The classic Greek philosopher, Plato, laid the foundation for the majority of Western philosophy. He was a gifted mathematician, a brilliant writer and the founder of the Academy in Athens which was the first institution of higher learning in the Western world. Plato's works are the first complete works preserved and available for study today, making him a key philosopher in Western civilization and thinking. But Plato was also an astrologer who studied the heavens extensively and wrote lengthily on his discoveries and philosophical findings related to astrology.
Plato believes that the stars and the planets "set limit to and stand guard over the numbers of time" because they are a part of the cosmos which were modeled on an eternal being. He argues that "the sun and moon and five other stars, which are called the planets, were created by him in order to distinguish and preserve the numbers of time," and goes on to say of time that "people are all but ignorant of the fact that time really is the wanderings of these bodies." Plato clearly says that time is the wanderings of these bodies – their movement – and not a kind of number that measures such movement. Therefore it stands that time only exists because they (the stars and planets, also exist and time was only created when the universe was created. Plato then defines time saying that time is a "moving image of eternity," or a kind of celestial clockwork, a type of motion as opposed to a measure of motion which is what time represents. The stars and planets can not be older or younger than time because they were created together and can not exist without the other: cosmos need time to exist and time needs the cosmos to be.
Plato then elaborates his dialogue to say that the stars and planets must have souls. He says this because all living beings have a soul and the cosmos are all living entities and therefore should all have souls. Plato also believed that each human soul is assigned to a star and that in death "a just soul returns to its companion star, an unjust soul is reincarnated for a second try."But in order to have motion, they must have some sort of intelligence and Plato says that "intelligence could not be present in anything which was devoid of soul," therefore the stars and planets must have souls in order to have intelligence in order that they might have motion.
Motion is important because motion is one of the elements that makes something a living creature. "All living things are in constant motion" and so if something does not have a motion then it can not be living, and it follows that it can not have a soul and be intelligent. It is a dead matter. This constant motion and this movement through time is what keeps the cosmic world, or the physical world, here. Remember that Plato thought that time was a kind of motion, rather than a measure of motion. This means that the importance of motion lays in the idea that motion is also a kind of time. When the stars and planets were created simultaneously with time, motion was thus created as well.
Plato's philosophies laid the foundation for the philosophies of today. Although many of them have been proven wrong in the centuries since his time, some of them still stand and are important in their impact on the school of philosophy. Without Plato, concepts such as the soul, time, and creation might have taken longer to determine. Together with his teacher Socrates and his student, Aristotle, Plato paved the way for academic thought and philosophical circles. His dialogue on time and the planets reveals the faults of his century as well as the daring and pioneer thinkings he founded.

Discussion in 'Olympus Cameras' started by FlyPenFly, Feb 22, 2011.
These are all indoor at the Smithsonian. I had a large double shot latte about an hour before I was shooting. I'll be the first to say these aren't "tack" sharp as some people might say but they're good enough for my uses and print well.
I was using the 20mm F1.7 stopped down to F2.2 because the performance of the lens dramatically goes up just 1 stop down.
I was using the E-P2, the IBIS is supposedly 1 stop better than the PL series.
The game changer for me was the the VF2 EVF. I have the big eye cup on order. Using the EVF pressed against my face really helped a lot by at least 2 stops.
Hmm, I have not had great results with the IBIS, but I tend to do more close-up stuff which is even more touchy.
Nice. But why did you not go above ISO 200? I find the Olympus image quality still pretty good even at 800, certainly at 400.
ISO 200 gives you a lot more dynamic range, tonal range, and color sensitivity than ISO 800 or ISO 400.
IMO, going higher ISO isn't a big deal in terms of noise, but in terms of everything else, it hurts.
firstly, great shots and especially at those speeds!
I'd imagine the "itty bitty" sensor in our cameras cannot muster nearly enough color accuracy compared to the high-dollar big-boys.

A brief respite in a long campaign to overcome coronavirus
Globally, it is clear that the pandemic is far from over. However, government restrictions on movement and meeting people imposed at the start of the year combined with a successful vaccination programme have allowed a gradual return to normality in the UK since late April. I have particularly appreciated this resumption of life over the past fortnight. While most meetings are still conducted online, I have managed to meet most of my research students in person in our lab, in pavement cafes or occasionally in my office with the window open and wearing masks. I have even been to the pub after work on two consecutive Tuesdays. On the first occasion, it was after a progress meeting on a research project when we enjoyed continuing our discussion of a new idea over a couple of beers; and, on the second occasion, t with our faculty management team to celebrate the first anniversary of one of the team joining us, who had only met half the team in person. On both occasions we had all tested negative using the lateral flow test and we sat outside in the sunshine. I have also been to three concerts at Liverpool Philharmonic Hall where we wore masks throughout the concert and both the audience and orchestra were socially-distanced. Last Thursday, I enjoyed Ravel's Le Tombeau de Couperin and Prokofiev's Symphony No. 1 'Classical' as well as the world premiere of Dani Howard's Trombone Concerto. The second concert featured works by Astor Piazzola which were a revelation to me. I had never heard of him let alone his music and really enjoyed the concert. However, as I write this post, the number of cases in Liverpool is rising rapidly and we are being advised to be more cautious in our interactions with other people. Not enough people have been vaccinated and are taking regular tests to allow us to return to our previous state of social interactions. Nevertheless, I am optimistic that we can eventually take back control of our lives from the coronavirus. Our global society is a complex system, which like any other complex system, operates without central control but with simple operating rules generating self-organising and emergent behaviour [see 'Destruction of society as a complex system?' on July 31st, 2019] that allows us to find new states to handle changed circumstances regardless of the efforts of politicians.

Carmen induces happiness but no recall
The day after England was released from its second national lockdown we went to a concert at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall. It was a socially-distanced event attended by about 400 people in a hall with a capacity of 1700. Even members of orchestra sat two metres apart and wore face coverings until they had taken their seats. Nevertheless, it was an uplifting occasion with the conductor of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra, Vasily Petrenko welcoming us back at the start of the concert. We listened to three pieces Variaciones concertantes by Ginastera; Il Tramonto by Respighi; and Carmen Suite for percussion and strings by Bizet and arranged by Shchedrin. I really enjoyed the first piece by Ginastera which I had not heard before; however, while listening to Jennifer Johnston singing Il Tramonto, I realised that I had no recall of the previous piece of music. As I sit writing, I cannot reproduce any of the sounds from the concert in my head, except for a few fuzzy sequences of Carmen that I had heard many times before, whereas I can 'see' the layout of the orchestra with Jennifer Johnston and Vasily Petrenko stood in front of them. My inability to recall sounds might explain why I struggle to speak any foreign languages or to remember the pronouncation of unfamilar words in English. Despite the fact that I cannot recall the music, the feelings of enjoyment remain as a memory and made me smile as I wrote this post.

The Kaua'i Police Department held its 87th Police Recruit graduation ceremony last month at the Kaua'i Community College Performing Arts Center, according to a county press release.
The ceremony began with an invocation by Police Chaplain Thomas Contrades. Master of Ceremony Captain Paul Applegate then introduced the 10 recruits: Kalani Apilado; Ashely Carillo; Kevin Gras; Anthony Honorato; Derrick Kelley; Stacy Lockhart; Scott Logue; Eric Ogihara; Ariel Ramos; and Bobilee Silva.
In his keynote address, Kaua'i Police Chief Darryl Perry said the quality of recruits is continually improving at the department and he also stressed the increased challenges and dangers that police officers face.
Special awards were also presented to several members of the class.
The Physical Fitness award was presented to Kalani Apilado and Ashley Carillo for showing the most improved physical abilities. Anthony Honorato was awarded the Marksmanship award for demonstrating an outstanding level of firearms proficiency and safe handling. Apilado was also honored as the Most Outstanding Recruit for excelling in all areas of the rigorous training while building camaraderie in the group.
Guest speakers included Police Commission Chair Charles Iona, Kaua'i County Council Vice Chair Ross Kagawa, and Mayor Bernard Carvalho Jr.
The graduation ended with the swearing-in of officers led by Chief Perry, followed by the ceremonial pinning of the badges.
The police recruit graduation ceremony is the culmination of six months and over 1,400 hours of classroom and reality-based training. Following graduation, each police services officer was assigned a field-training officer to shadow for the next four months. Upon successful completion of the 16-week program, they will become full-fledged officers.

This page notes details of Vision HERO Trinity (DARK/Warrior/Fusion Monster/Effect Monster) : decks, tips, effect and rulings. Learn and enjoy playing Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links!
During the turn this card was Fusion Summoned, its ATK is double its original ATK. This Fusion Summoned card can attack 3 times during each Battle Phase. This card cannot attack your opponent directly.
5000 attack during the turn it's summoned.
Requiring 3 monsters and a Polymerization can be costly and cause a big card disadvantage.
These HERO monsters have effects that can search for a Polymerization from your deck, making fusion into Trinity easier since they can also be used as part of the material. They don't necessarily pair well with each other but they each provide other benefits. Woodsman can also be used to fuse for Elemental HERO Terra Firma, Blazeman can either get Polymerization or increase its attack by sending an E Hero from your deck to the GY, Vyon's effect to send any HERO monster from the deck to the GY can be useful to set up for some plays. The main downside is that both Vyon and Blazeman are from structure decks, so getting more than 1 copy requires in-app purchases.
Since it's treated as a Destiny Hero Monster on the field, it can be used to fuse into trinity by activating its effect and summon 2 others to the field. It can't be used as fusion material from your hand since it's not considered a HERO monster.
Had someone summoned this on me WHILE MY MONSTER ZONES ARE EMPTY.
I won the duel one turn later.
Sorry, I mean two turns.
But still, it involves a Set WOD I would have used if he summoned anything other than Trinity. So the moment he summoned Trinity, my victory is practically guaranteed.
I just summon a monster on my next turn, forcing him to summon another monster if he wants to OTK me. Except, that fuels my WOD, dropping Trinity's ATK enough for my monster to get over it.
...Not only is a Flip Summon clearly not a Fusion Summon, but you can't target your own monsters with Canadia in the first place.
Yes, it's an awesome card and I did many OTK with it.
He is good for dealing with Aliens.
I love this card in my Elemental heroes deck. Works great.
Cool card. Doesnt really work in a E-hero deck. In your most vulnerable crucial moment of the duel when are you able to summon 3 E-heros out?
Who said anything about summoning 3 Heros?
This card works great in a Elemental Heroes deck. I use this and I won many battles with this card.
why does it sometimes "glitch" and only lets me attack once?
maybe you tried to attack the player, he can only attack monster.
what would forbidden chalice do to this card would I keep the atk increase?
At least neos knight can be summoned with miracle contact using things in your graveyard. You literally have to go -3 to summon trinity.

Taybeh () és un municipi palestí en la governació de Ramal·lah i al-Bireh al centre de Cisjordània, situat 15 kilòmetres al nord-est de Jerusalem i 12 kilòmetres al nord-est de Ramal·lah. Segons l'Oficina Central d'Estadístiques de Palestina (PCBS), tenia una població de 1.858 habitants en 2016. És l'única comunitat íntegrament cristiana de tota Cisjordània.

Etimologia
A Taybeh la hi ha relacionat amb Ophrah, posteriorment rebatejat com Efraïm, lloc esmentat en la Bíblia (Llibre de Josuè 18:23) com una ciutat de la tribu de Benjamí. No obstant això, la paraula «Efraïm» és similar en termes sonors a afrit (en àrab عفريت), que significa «dimoni» en àrab. Sota el mandat de Saladí, la ciutat va ser rebatejada com Taybeh, «l'agradable».

Segons la tradició local, Saladí va rebre a una delegació d'habitants d' Efraïm durant les seves guerres contra els croats. Impressionat per la generositat i hospitalitat dels vilatans, va batejar el poble com Taybeh, «l'agradable» en àrab. Una altra versió de la història diu que, encantat per la seva bondat i la bellesa de les seves cares, va ordenar que el poble fos rebatejat com Tayyibat al-Isem («bell de nom») en lloc d'Afra, que sonava a «ple de pols».

Taybeh al Nou Testament

Segons la Bíblia, després de la resurrecció de Llàtzer, Jesús es va retirar amb els seus deixebles a Efraïm. Joan diu «Així que des d'aquell dia (els fariseus) van acordar matar-lo. Per tant, Jesús ja no caminava obertament entre els jueus, sinó que es va allunyar d'allí a la regió contigua al desert, a una ciutat anomenada Efraïm; i es va quedar allí amb els seus deixebles» (Joan 11ː 53-54). Això va succeir durant els primers dies de Nissan, probablement entorn de l'any 30.

Història

Al segle V es s'hi va construir una església a l'est de la ciutat coneguda avui dia com l'Església de Sant Jordi. Al  els Croats van construir una altra església adjacent a la primera. Els Croats van fortificar Taybeh mitjançant un castell batejat en anglès com Castle of St. Elias. Al febrer de 1182, Josselí III d'Edessa va concedir el castell al rei Balduí IV de Jerusalem juntament amb diverses propietats més a canvi del senyoriu del Mi'ilya. En 1185, el rei Balduí V de Jerusalem concedí el castell al seu avi Guillem V, Marquès de Montferrat.

Tanmateix Taybeh va caure en mans de Saladí en 1187 després de la Batalla de Hattin. Imad-ad-Din al-Isfahaní la descriu com una fortalesa croada presa per Saladí, mentre que Yaqut al-Hamawí la va descriure sota el nom d''Afra, com «una fortalesa en la província de Palestina, vora Jerusalem.»

Època Otomana
En 1596, apareixia en els registres d'impostos otomans amb el nom de Tayyibat al-Isem, formant part de la nàhiya o subdistricte d'al-Quds, al liwà o districte homònim. Tenia una població de 63 llars musulmanes i 23 famílies cristianes, i pagava imposats sobre blat, ordi, vinyers i arbres fruiters, cabres i/o ruscs.

Aproximadament en les dècades de 1810 o 1820 va tenir lloc una gran batalla al poble entre faccions rivals dels Qays i els iemenites. A la conclusió de la batalla, la facció "Yamani", dirigida pel xeic de Abu Ghosh, va aconseguir recuperar Taybeh per a la facció dels Qays. Quan Edward Robinson la va visitar en 1838,va descobrir que en ella vivien 75 habitants susceptibles de pagar impostos, la qual cosa indicava una població d'aproximadament 300 o 400 persones.

L'explorador francès Victor Guérin va visitar el poble en 1863, descrivint Thayebeh com una localitat amb uns 800 vilatans, 60 d'ells catòlics i la resta greco-ortodoxos. També va deixar constància de les restes d'un gran edifici en el cim d'un pujol. Una llista otomana de pobles d'al voltant de 1870 representava a Taybeh com una ciutat cristiana amb 87 cases i una població de 283 habitants, encara que el recompte de població solament incloïa a homes.

En 1882 el Survey of Western Palestine de la Palestine Exploration Fund va descriuire Taiyibeh com un «gran llogaret cristià en una posició excel·lent, amb cases de pedra ben construïdes. Una torre central s'alça en el cim del turó; per tots costats hi ha oliveres i figueres a les terres baixes. La visió és excel·lent en qualsevol adreça. Les ruïnes de una església de Sant Jordi es troben a prop, i hi ha restes d'un castell en ruïnes al poble. Els habitants són greco-ortodoxos cristians.»

Charles de Foucauld (1853–1916), un explorador i ermità francès, va passar per Taybeh en gener de 1889 i hi tornà em 1898.

Mandat Britànic de Palestina
En el cens de Palestina de 1922, dut a terme per les autoritats del Mandat Britànic de Palestina, Al Taibeh tenia una població de 954 cristians, dels quals 663 eren ortodoxos, 249 catòlics llatins, 60 catòlics greco-melquites i 2 anglicans. A més, també hi vivien 7 musulmans.

En 1927 es va construir una església ortodoxa grega sobre una antiga església romana d'Orient, incorporant acuradament elements arquitectònics com a columnes, llindes, capitells, dues fonts i un mosaic fragmentat amb una inscripció en grec. Para quan es va realitzar el cens de Palestina de 1931 Taybeh tenia una població de 1.038 cristians i 87 musulmans, que viuen en un total de 262 cases.

La població va seguir creixent i en el cens de 1945 vivien a Taybeh 1.330 persones (1.180 cristians i 150 musulmans),mentre que la superfície total del municipi era de 20.231 dúnams (20,231 quilòmetres quadrats), segons una enquesta oficial de terra i població. D'aquests, 5.287 dúnams era per a plantacions i regadiu, 5.748 per a cereals i 80 dúnams eren considerades terrenys urbans.

Després de 1948
En la vespra de guerra araboisraeliana de 1948, i després dels acords d'armistici araboisraelians de 1949, Taybeh fou ocupada pel regne haixemita de Jordània. Després de la Guerra dels Sis Dies de 1967 va romandre sota l'ocupació israeliana. Nombroses resolucions de les Nacions Unides, com la resolució 242 han instat a Israel a retirar-se a les fronteres anteriors a 1967 reafirmant "la inadmissibilitat de l'adquisició de territori per la força", com apareix en la resolució 2334.

Al setembre de 2005, centenars d'homes musulmans de Deir Jarir van incendiar cases a Taybeh en resposta a la suposada relació amorosa entre una dona musulmana de 30 anys de Deir Jarir amb un cristià de Taybeh. Quan els habitants de Taybeh van cridar a les autoritats per sol·licitar la seva intervenció, els israelians van ser els primers a arribar, però simplement van mirar i es van negar a actuar. Els policies palestins que arribaven des de Ramal·lah van ser retinguts en un control de seguretat israelià durant tres hores, i solament les constants trucades del consolat dels Estats Units a Jerusalem van aconseguir que se'ls permetés continuar el seu camí. Malgrat l'incident, els pobles veïns segueixen tenint una bona relació, i els seus habitants comenten que "la gent de Taybeh i la gent de Deir Jarir són una sola família".

El 19 d'abril de 2013, un grup de colons israelians va prendre per la força el monestir de Taybeh i una capella adjacent, hissant-hi una bandera israeliana. Joves de Taybeh i dels pobles circumdants de Deir Jreir, Ramun, Silwad, Kafr Malik i Ein Yabrud van aconseguir expulsar els colons. Els palestins d'aquesta zona solen manifestar-se regularment a les terres del monestir, i els palestins musulmans organitzen la seva oració dels divendres en aquest terreny per protegir-lo de possibles intents israelians d'expropiar-lo.

Mastermind of Bitcoin Mining Ponzi Scheme Extradited to the US: $20 Million in Victims' Funds Laundered
The US government says it has extradited Gutemberg Dos Santos, the co-founder of the Airbit Club Ponzi scheme from Panama and he now awaits his trial in a Manhattan court. Dos Santos is facing charges relating to his role in perpetuating a "cryptocurrency" scam which defrauded victims of "tens of millions of dollars."

Presidency Cautions Akeredolu on Ultimatum to Herdsmen
According to the US Department of Justice (DOJ), Dos Santos and five accomplices are accused of falsely promising victims that they will earn passive income from cryptocurrency mining. However, investigations found that "no bitcoin mining or trading on behalf of victims actually took place."
In a November 30 statement, the DOJ said Dos Santos – a citizen of Brazil and the United States – instead "hosted lavish expos and small community presentations aimed at convincing victims to purchase Airbit Club memberships." Once Dos Santos and his accomplices gained control of the money, they would proceed to hoodwink unsuspecting victims into believing that everything was above board. The DOJ press statement explains:
Following a victim's investment, a promoter provided the victim with access to an online Airbit Club portal to view the purported returns on memberships. While victims saw 'profits' accumulate on their Online Portal, those representations were false.
With victims convinced that their "investment" was earning them an astronomical return, Dos Santos and his accomplices in the meantime were using victims' funds to enrich themselves. As the DOJ statement explains, the accused "spent victim money on cars, jewellery, and luxury homes, and financed more extravagant expos to recruit more victims."
Bringing in the 'New Blood'
According to the DOJ, one of the accused, lawyer Scott Hughes is separately accused of "helping to remove negative information about Airbit Club and Vizinova from the internet." Hughes has previously represented Dos Santos when he faced an investigation by the US SEC.
Furthermore, the DOJ is accusing Dos Santos and the co-defendants of using "excuses, delays, and hidden fees" to deny victims access to their funds. In one instance, a female victim was told that "she should bring 'new blood' into the Airbit Club scheme in order to receive her returns." The victim was informed of this after she lodged a complaint about her inability to make a withdrawal.
In another instance, a victim was told their account had been closed and the principal investment had been lost. One of the accused mentioned the following as reasons for the loss:
Due to execution of financial sustainability Reserve, policy #34 of the Airbit Club Terms and Conditions, due to the economic and financial crisis caused by (Covid-19).
According to the DOJ, a total of $20 million is believed to have been laundered by Dos Santos and his accomplices. Consequently, Dos Santos, who must answer to three charges, faces a total maximum sentence of 70 years in jail.

Free Steam games: a gift of horror inspired by the art of Goya
After a week full of free games offered by the various digital stores, even today Steam users can get their hands on a very special title without having to spend even a cent. It is not the first time that the Valve platform offers some noteworthy free experiences to its users, although this time we have to thank the guys from Impasto Team, a group of university students who have created a horror video game absolutely to keep an eye on.
The free title that has been giving away on Steam for a few hours is Impasto, a university project created by students at the University of Southern California in collaboration with other students at Otis College of Art and Design and California State University Fullerton, as well as volunteers from Worldwide. Precisely for this reason it is a very interesting project, and that will tempt the art lovers of Francisco Goya.
Impasto, in fact, looks like a title first-person horror and exploratory where the works of the Spanish painter have been of great inspiration. The world of this game is portrayed as a place heavily altered by corrupted sanity, and players will be required to explore the terrifying wonders of this world stealthily while trying to survive.
At the moment the game is totally free, and it is very likely that it will remain so forever. When in doubt, our advice is to redeem this title as soon as possible to enjoy it. Finally, if you are a free game hunter, we remind you that this week too you will be able to add a series of titles at no cost thanks to the weekly offer proposed by the Epic Games Store. The appointment with other free titles is this Thursday afternoon, but it is not excluded that other titles may be given away over the next few days.

Age UK calls-out government over carer vacancies after Brexit

A charity has accused the government of not doing enough to ensure there won't be a shortfall in care workers after Brexit.
Age UK has warned ministers that after Britain leaves the EU there will be fewer European workers available to fill vacancies.
The government has already agreed exemptions for the agriculture sector to allow the continued supply of farm labourers into the UK from the continent.
And Age UK is insisting similar measures are introduced to the care industry.
Caroline Abrahams, the charity's director, said: "The government has granted a partial exemption from the new rules for fruit pickers and Age UK believes it should remove care workers from this proposed post-Brexit regime altogether.
"Does the government really think that being able to eat home grown Granny Smiths is more important than ensuring that grannies and grandpas up and down the country can get the care they need?"
Her comments come as fears mount that the UK will be left without enough carers for the aging population.
The charity said that the number of carer vacancies will only rise unless the government takes action to encourage more care staff to come from the EU.
Abrahams said: "The social care workforce is already struggling but if, after a UK withdrawal, we shut the door on staff from the EU we'll make a bad situation even worse."
The charity says there are around 110,000 job vacancies in England already, with high numbers of staff leaving the care sector every year.
Currently, about 104,000 care jobs are held by EU nationals, figures suggest.
Age UK has written to home secretary Sajid Javid saying EU carers must be exempt from proposed new rules that say low-skilled EU workers should no longer have preferential access to the UK.
It has also warned of a particular impact on live-in care. At present, many of these jobs are held by EU carers who move in and out of the country regularly to take up posts.

That SulaFest has the choicest wine collection, and an eclectic music lineup is known. But with camping, the festival is that much better an experience.
For wine connoisseurs in India, SulaFest is the one stop that guarantees them many exquisite, world famous varieties of their favourite poison. Combined with a spectacular display of music, the festival offers a decadently fruitful weekend in the pristine vineyards of Nashik. But what elevates the experience of SulaFest is the community-inspired camping that can be taken advantage of at the festival.
And given the roster laid out for the camping enthusiasts at SulaFest, it would be a truly indulgent weekend, as promised by the cool crew behind the festival's camping, Letscampout. Here's everything they have in store to make camping at SulaFest truly worthwhile.
As anyone who's ever been to Nashik's vineyards can attest, the expanse is a wonderful stretch of green, filled with the aroma of fresh fruit, replete with even purer air. Given the fact that it's cut off from the main city, makes the area most ideal for camping. Which is what Letscampout achieves with tents that can be rented on sharing basis in groups of two, four and eight, at a five-minute distance from the main festival area. So if you're heading to Sula with a massive number of friends, you can imagine camping to be a total riot! These tents come stacked with sleeping mattresses, solar lights and included morning breakfasts. There will be portaloos, with the option of warm water for baths. The lovely Nashik air? That you get for free.
For those wishing to glam their experience at SulaFest further, Letscampout has in store the option of luxury camping, where you can purchase a weekend getaway in far more sophisticated tents that come with their own dedicated toilets and hot and cold showers. That's not all. The tents comes with double air beds with cozy blankets, a cooler to keep you cool during the day, an exclusive charging point and bonfire zone, and a butler who would be on your service at all times. You know what's the best part though? Wine on the house; including other hedonistic features such as welcomes gifts, thatched roof chill out zones and a sweet 360-degree view of the festival.
Camping is experienced best with other campers of your kind, and that's exactly what Letscampout will achieve at SulaFest. To make it immersive a time as it can be, it has planned several community bonfire sessions which make for a great time to foster friendships. These will be organised in the evenings at the tent city, where campers can gather for a rather warm time, build on interactions and the likes. And if hunger pangs come knocking, then there are the barbecue activities to keep you satiated.
If you thought SulaFest was all about some serious wine-binging, then you're wrong. Because at the Tent City, you can flex your sporty muscles through the many physical activities that are on offer. You could take the perfect aim with an archery workshop, or throw some serious balls during the several Volleyball sessions. You could also let it loose on the trampoline or even play some badminton.
In addition to the sporty activities, you can also indulge in some well-mannered creative workshops. Since you're in Nashik, enjoying a wine and music festival, campers get to try their hand at sangria making, so they can become experts at their go to drink. If not that, you can also display your rather quirky wordplay at the camping area's open mic sessions. Got a joke that would elicit the laughs or a poem that would infuse profundity? Then that's your stage!
Camping at SulaFest is all about the confluence of different kinds of people from all walks of life. The energy is borne out of healthy communication, and synergy. So as long as you walk into the Tent City with a great spirit, then the camping experience at SulaFest will be just as rewarding. Don't forget to carry that smile!
SulaFest will be held this year on February 6 and 7. And with the music and the wine, you do not want to miss the camping by Letscampout. To know how you can book your own tent at the festival, head here.

Singer Clara Luciani says she suffers from "uncontrollable tremors"
A few days ago, Clara Luciani confided in an interview to suffer from a neurological disorder called "essential tremor".
The sequence had gone a little unnoticed. However, when she was Vincent Cerutti's guest on M Radio on November 29, French singer Clara Lucianito whom we owe in particular the hits "La Grenade" or "Le reste", explained that he had suffered for a long time from a frequent neurological disorder: essential tremor.
In this interview spotted by our colleagues from The Dispatchit was then that she was questioned about the fact that she systematically uses a wired microphone, that the artist made this confidence.
"I'm shaking all the time," Clara Luciani explained. "I have an essential tremor and the wire of the microphone allows me to stabilize my hands", she further detailed.
A disease "not well known to the general public"
But let the singer's fans be reassured, essential tremor, even if it is sometimes embarrassing, remains a common neurological disease. It "results in uncontrollable tremors during movement or active maintenance of a posture. Not well known to the general public, this disease can cause social handicap and stigmatization of those affected", thus indicates the Vidalthe famous medical encyclopedia.
"I could also assume my tremors but I haven't arrived there yet", confided the winner of a Victoire de la musique in 2020, specifying that these tremors "do not bother her in other areas of her life. life".

Throughout Boston, hit and run accidents take many different forms. Often, drivers of motor vehicles hit a pedestrian and continue to drive, hoping to attempt to avoid liability. In other cases, one vehicle strikes another and flees the scene without stopping to provide help or exchange information. In most circumstances, hit and run collisions leave victims scared, facing property damage and potentially life-altering injuries. However, there are steps to take that will help victims secure compensation for their damages and injuries resulting from the accident.Hit and run accidents carry potential criminal and civil penalties for those who have caused the collision and left the scene of the accident. Massachusetts law requires drivers to provide information to injured individuals before leaving the scene of the accident. According to law, there are different crimes associated with hit and run collisions, depending on whether property damage, personal injuries, or death resulted from the crash.
According to the statute, there is an affirmative duty to those who operate motor vehicles. Failing to stop after a collision can bring dire consequences. Following a crash, or even a minor collision, the driver must stop and provide information to everyone. In fact, both parties involved in the accident have a legal obligation to remain at the scene and to ensure that if anyone requires assistance and medical care, they receive it.
While hit and run collisions can result in property damage, in other cases, they can render victims catastrophically injured. Massachusetts law provides a remedy for those hurt in a Boston hit and run accident. Victims can file a personal injury claim or a lawsuit that holds offending drivers accountable for their recklessness. As plaintiffs in personal injury claims, victims can recover costs of medical treatment, lost wages for work, and emotional pain and suffering associated with the accident. In some cases, the victim may also recover punitive damages as a form of punishment for the driver who left the scene.
If the hit and run driver cannot be located or identified, the accident victim may be entitled to file an uninsured motorist claim. Through the victim's own insurance company, the injured individual would seek damages for property damage or personal injuries. Uninsured motorist bodily injury coverage can help pay for injuries caused by hit and run accidents. Uninsured motorist property damage coverage typically covers damage to a struck car. It is important to report the accident to police immediately and to provide information to your own insurance company within 24 hours of the accident.
After suffering injuries in a hit and run accident or another motor vehicle collision, Boston car accident attorney Michael O. Smith can assist. Since Mr. Smith only represents injured individuals, he protects their rights as they hold at-fault parties accountable. Throughout the Commonwealth, he has helped people by providing free, no-obligation consultations.

I'm usually not one to make "monthly goals", I pretty much just stick with yearly ones. But I've come to the decision that it would be a good idea to start setting monthly goals to hold myself more accountable for accomplishing my bigger goals. I'm hoping that setting and accomplishing these small goals will set me up for more success when it comes to meeting my big yearly goals. (Which you can read here). Plus it always fun to accomplish a goal! It helps give you sense of purpose and fulfillment in my humble opinion!
So, I plan to try and set four to five monthly goals at the end/beginning of each month. The goals will vary and will cover several different aspects of life: work, personal, and blog. I'm gonna try and set at least one goal that will cover each category.
1. Read 5 books. I have really been slacking it in the reading department so far this year. I only got through 3 books in January and if I want to accomplish my goal of reading 75 this year I need to read more. My problem has been not knowing what to read. I have so many books on my TBR list that it's difficult to pick which to read next! So I WILL read at least 5 books this month.
2. Clean out my closet. I need to do a bit of pre-spring cleaning in my closet. I have so many items that get zero wear that all they're doing is taking up space. But I also need to take an inventory of sorts of the clothes I do have and put together outfits so I'm not tempted to buy anything new. Because I really don't NEED any. But boy do I sure WANT new everything!
3. Print photos for my frames. I have 4 really pretty photo frames sitting in various spots around the apartment that are empty. And have been like that for months. So I need to settle on four and just print them already. It'll be bring a little more personality into my little space!
4. Open up a separate savings account. This is something that needs to happen ASAP. I currently have saving account but it's connected to my main checking account and is visible to me at all times. Which is a problem because I can easily transfer money between the accounts and so basically it's just too easily accessible for me. I need an account where money is automatically taken out of the paycheck and put into a completely separate account that I do no see on a daily and or weekly basis. I've realized that is the only realistic way I will be able to save any significant amount of money.
Alright, for my first set of monthly goals I think that's pretty good start. It's gonna be fun to cross these off my list. I've written them in my planner so that I'm constantly reminded of them! I plan to do the something for March.
Hope you're February is off to great start!
Linking up with Jenn and Jess for What's "Ha-Pinning"!
The savings account is a great idea--and definitely one that you don't see every time you open the bank account.
I'd say just look for books that you enjoy instead of feeling pressured to read 5 or 75 or whatever. As long as you're enjoying it, that's what matters! Thanks again for the Throne of Glass rec!
5 books? Please get me on this motivated train! You got this!
I'm never good at creating my own monthly goals, but I love reading when other people share them! I definitely fall into the same issue of not knowing what to read next and always worrying I'll make the wrong choice (so stupid, haha).
we have a capital one 360 savings account and it is great because it's taken out automatically and you can't see it unless you log in. plus it accrues interest, not a lot but still. good luck with the books! deciding what to read next is sometimes SO hard.
Great goals! I'm starting to make monthly goals for myself too, I stick to them more when they are smaller and more manageable than yearly ones I find.
You need to join a reading challenge! If you choose books that you already own or are on your TBR list, it helps you to pick what book you want to read next. The first thing I did for Erin's Challenge was to go through my Netgalley list and fit books in there and then I went through my Nook. I totally need to print out pictures too! They're all just sitting on my computer, and they need to be out for everybody to see!
I love goal setting! I totally need to clean my closet out! I have been putting it off for too long!
I hope you get all your books read this month! I read a lot in January, but February is a shorter month so I made my goal 5 books. I hope to get more than that though!!
These are all great goals! I wish I could get through one book a month. I need to step up on my reading. It seems to take me forever these days to finish even a book I love. The savings account is also an awesome idea. I can't see our main savings (I'm sure my husband did that on purpose) and its nice to not know it is there.

Pearl Harbor sailor returned home for burial 77 years after his death
By Jaimie-lee Prince
After 77 years of waiting, the family of a Pearl Harbor hero laid to rest their loved one on Wednesday.
CNN reports that Carl Dorr's remains were finally returned to his family and the soldier was given a proper send-off.
Thomas Dorr, Carl's nephew, was among those who looked on as the coffin, draped with the nation's flag, was put into its hearse.
Thomas, who was standing on the Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport in South Carolina, later described the scene as "nothing but dead silence."
Follow us on Twitter for more @amomama.
As he thought of his uncle's place in the Pearl Harbor attack of 1941, he said in the interview:
"I knew that what I was experiencing was history."
Indeed, history was made on December 7 when Japanese forces unexpectedly attacked the American navy at Pearl Harbor.
Carl was among those onboard the bombed USS Oklahoma on that horrific day. Due to a lack of scientific methods, it took this long to identify his remains and give closure to his remaining family.
Only 35 people could be positively identified surrounding the aftermath of the military strike. The rest were buried at the Pacific's National Memorial Cemetary.
Since then, the families of 189 marines and sailors have also been able to say goodbye to their lost ones. And the authorities have made sure they did so with the fullest respect.
Dorr's family was driven in limos to the funeral home of the deceased. The Patriot Guard and police escorted their procession through salutations from law enforcement.
Another flag hung off a fire truck on an overpass they went under. A proper tribute was given to the 27-year-old who gave his life for his country.
Carl had four siblings at the time his family received the noticed that he was presumed to be among the dead. His mother, known as Mama John, died a year and a half after they sent out Carl's DNA in 2009.
The Defense Department who are conducting the searches hopes to identify all 394 remains in the next two years.
For Carl's family, however, they can be a bit more at peace knowing they laid to rest their loved one with dignity and honor.
As Thomas put it:
"It's the end of a story. He lived his life. He died for his country. He's come home. The story ends now. But he will always be remembered."
Meanwhile, the living will always remember that day that changed their lives forever. Retired U.S. Navy Commander Don Long was in a seaplane when he saw the fire from the Pearl Harbor attack.
"I recall it was a beautiful sunny day in Hawaii that morning."
Source: Twitter/ CNN
Then he saw the explosions. Nearby, an anchored plane received fire before bursting into flames. Not long after, a Japanese craft flew straight at Long's own plane.
He admitted:
"The sequence of events during the next few minutes is not entirely clear."
But Long can confirm that he was forced to swim for his life underneath flames that covered the surface of the water.

After the war, Long learned to forgive the descendants of those who carried out the attack. He said:
"For about 50, 60 years or so, it was a day that rang a little bell to me, but I did not do much. In the past 20 or so (years), I take part in some kind of activity that I'll say is appropriate for the day."
Another hero of the war also was honored over the years. Johan van Hulst saved the lives of around 600 children between 1942 and 1945.
He worked as a teacher in Amsterdam when the war started. Across his street, young Jewish children were being held at a nursery before deportation to death camps.
Van Hulst saved them by hiding them in laundry baskets and getting them to safe places. The descendants of those children will always remember his courageous act. He passed on March 22, 2018, at the age of 107.

Average Salary by Age plus Median, Top 1%, and All Salary Percentiles
In this post are United States Salary Brackets by Age for 2021. You'll also find average salary by age, plus median and top 1% salaries by age.
Salaries/wage incomes are gross (pre-tax), earned between January and December 2020 (the survey was conducted in March 2021). It's the newest data to this point in 2022.
1 Salary Benchmarks by Age in 2021
1.1 What is the median salary by age in the United States?
1.2 What is the average salary by age in the United States?
1.3 What is the top 1% salary by age in the United States?
2 Income vs. Salary
2.1 Salary by Age Summary for the United States in 2021
3 Methodology on 2021 United States Salary Brackets
3.1 What is your screen?
Salary Benchmarks by Age in 2021
Age is an excellent proxy for experience in most datasets – generally, the longer you've been at a job or career, the better you are in that job or career. While that's not a universal law, it's good practice to separate salary data by age. (Although you can find aggregate salary averages and stats here).
The best summary statistics for salary are:
Median salary by age
Top 1% salary by age
We'll hit each summary statistic in kind, but here's a quick visualization of the main salary breakpoints for selected ages.
What is the median salary by age in the United States?
In 2020 in the United States, these were the median salaries earned by age:
Age 25: $39,000.00
The following table lists the median salary for every age from 16-70 in the United States for 2021:
Age Median Salary
16 $11,000.00
17 $9,000.00
What is the average salary by age in the United States?
In 2020 in the United States, these were the average salaries earned by age:
In this next table, I've summarized the average salary for every age from 16-70 in the United States in 2021:
Age Average Salary
What is the top 1% salary by age in the United States?
Here are the summary top 1% salary benchmarks in the US in 2020, starting at 25 years old and moving up a decade at a time:
Age 25: $160,000.00
Remember to be appropriately skeptical with top 1% salaries. By definition, fewer people earn up here and the distribution isn't as well behaved.
Age Top 1% Salary
16 $100,000.00
My warning in the income by age post applies here, too: to smooth over the spikes, look at a few adjacent ages to get a 'feel,' don't take one age as the correct value. (For what that's worth!)
Income vs. Salary
Salary is what you earn from a job, your wage income. Income is a much more expansive set of ways to earn money. Here, think: business, investment, interest, rent, etc.
We specialize in income here on DQYDJ – find all our recent income posts here. (Including household income and individual income).

Opening the Doors to Opportunity for Detroit's Youth
Talent is distributed evenly. Opportunity is not.
Gregory Davis, a graduate of Focus: Hope, a JPMorgan Chase-supported training program that helps Detroiters build in-demand skills. After completing the program, Davis was hired by Detroit Manufacturing Systems.
It's a point Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, among others, has made, and it's one that is starkly apparent in Detroit. More than 55 percent of Detroit's children live in poverty. The city has a 30 percent youth unemployment rate — the highest among the 25 largest U.S. metro areas. Only 62 percent of the city's African-American and 55 percent of its Latino young men are graduating from high school. More than 30 percent of young people in Detroit's lower-income African-American neighborhoods are neither working nor in school.
In Detroit, as in too many communities around the world, young people of color and young people from distressed neighborhoods are being shut out of opportunity. JPMorgan Chase is working to help change that reality.
In 2016 our firm launched New Skills for Youth, a $75 million global initiative to expand high-quality career-focused education programs that lead to well-paying jobs and long-term careers. These programs can truly transform lives by showing students that there are many pathways to success, including ones that do not require pursuing a four-year degree right after high school.
As part of this initiative, we are investing $4 million to support work by the United Way of Southeastern Michigan to strengthen college and career pathways for students at 20 Detroit high schools. JPMorgan Chase joins the Skillman Foundation, the Ford Foundation and the Ford Motor Company Fund as part of a coalition working to connect 10,000 Detroit high school students over the next three years with career education and work experiences to boost employment.
Our support will enable the United Way to expand its Linked Learning initiative, a career-oriented education program. Through Linked Learning's curriculum and work-based learning, students earn credentials, qualifying them for career pathways and college, in growing industries such as advanced manufacturing, health care, information technology, digital communications, engineering and public service.
"As parents fight to encourage their children to stay in school in hopes that they have a brighter future, it's an uphill battle without access and opportunity that our youth can see," said Sharlonda Buckman, CEO, Detroit Parent Network. "With support from JPMorgan Chase, the Linked Learning approach is an opportunity to affirm parents' resolve to push and support their youth and the relevance of their education experience."
By creating more opportunities for Detroit's young people, JPMorgan Chase is helping lay the foundation for a real, lasting and broadly shared recovery.

Racks Review: Love their Baby Back Ribs!
I'm a big fan of baby back ribs but I can never consume a full size so I always end up with a half slab instead. And one of the best places to dine for baby back ribs is Racks!
The baby back ribs meal at Racks is tender to the bone. I'm sure the meat had been previously marinated using unique ingredients. It's even more appetizing with a special sauce prepared only at this restaurant.
Even if I'd be full with this meal alone, I can still finish the side dishes served along with the ribs, particularly the mash potato. I've had a taste of mash potatoes from other restos but this one's different. I can eat a big bowl if they serve me one.
As for the ambiance, there's a western vibe in a spacious dining area. You'll also appreciate that the kitchen is almost naked; you can see them prepare your meal at least from one section. Service is just as pleasing as the meals and how they are prepared. As for the prices, you may have to shell out twice as much as the cost of fast food meals. But the delectable food will be definitely worth the price.

Q: Why business logic? Let's imagine any common operation being executed on website.
After user presses button the application should:

*

*Check conditions whether the operation is allowed or not (user rights, some object's consistency, relations and other things)

*Update DB record

*Report

This is business-logic layer's concern as it's written in tons of books.
In fact, we firstly read data from DB then we write data to DB. And in the case when data were changed by any other user/process during our checkings we will put invalid result into the database. Seemes like the problem should be well-known but i still can't find good solution for this.
The question is: why do we need business logic layer with no opportunity to maintenance business transactions?
You probably would say TransactionScope. Well, how do you prevent read data from its changes by external processes? How it's possible to UPDLOCK from business layer? If it's possible then wouldn't it all be much more expensive than doing transactions in stored procedures?
No way to bring a part of logic to DB - only the whole. Both parts #1 and #2 must be implemented in the same transaction, moreover, read data must be locked until updation has been made.
Ideas?

A: I really think you are arguing this from the wrong angle.  Firstly, in your specific example, there doesn't seem to be anything saying that the change in votes by one user invalidates the attempt of another user to affect an upvote.  So, if I opened the page, and there were 200 votes for the item, and I clicked upvote, I don't really care if 10 other people have done the same in the meantime.  So, validations can be run by the business layer, and if the result is that the vote can go through, the update can be done in an atomic way using a single SQL statement (E.g. UPDATE Votes SET VoteCount = VoteCount+1 WHERE ID=@ID), or a select with UPDLOCK and update wrapped in a transaction.  The tendency for ORMs and developers to go with the latter approach is neither here nor there, you still have the option to change the implementation if you so choose.
Now, if the requirement is that an update to the vote count actually invalidates my vote, then it's a completely different situation.  In this case, we are absolutely correct to use either optimistic or pessimistic concurrency, but these are (obviously) not applicable to a website where hundreds of people may vote at the same time, for the same item.  The issue here is not the implementation, it's the nature of allowing multiple people to work on the same item.
So, to summarise, there's nothing stopping you from having a business layer outside of the DB and keeping the increment atomic.  At the same time, you hopefully enjoy the benefits of having your business logic outside of the DB (which is a post in itself, but I'd argue that it's a large benefit).

Siiri's Blog Post for Women2.0: For-Profit Social Enterprise Empowers Women in Distressed Nations, Raises Capital with Profounder
For the original publishing of this blog post, click here.
For-Profit Social Enterprise Empowers Women in Distressed Nations, Raises Capital with ProFounder
By Siiri Morley (Founding Partner, Prosperity Candle)
Prosperity Candle has a vision so big and so ambitious that we've encountered many naysayers along the way. That's to be expected in our line of work. Our team speaks about a million points of light -– millions of candles lighting up the world and empowering thousands of women in some of the toughest parts of the world, like Iraq, Rwanda, Haiti, Afghanistan, Burma and Sudan.
Empowerment of women in these countries attracts people, but once they would hear that we planned to do this as a for-profit social venture, interest often began to wane.
Many people cautioned us that importing high quality candles made by women in Baghdad was "impossible". Yet we've done it successfully three times and are now ready to build.
Empowering Women as a Social Enterprise
Our mission is to empower women as entrepreneurs to launch independent candle-making businesses that enable them to not only survive, but prosper and thrive. We focus on parts of the world where women have been most affected by conflict or natural disaster and offer them an opportunity to build a business that can grow and enable them to earn more than a living wage. A living wage means being able to send children to school, put food on the table, pay for medical bills, etc.
My business partners Amber Chand and Ted Barber first conceived of the Prosperity Candle business model in 2008 as they explored how to better align international development and women's empowerment goals with international trade. They believed firmly that consumer products could create transformative change in the lives of women around the world, but that a different recipe was needed -– both for consumers and producers.
As they explored different possibilities for a new model, they found that candle-making, unlike many handmade products, is a uniquely scalable enterprise and one that was uniquely suited to women's needs in distressed nations.
The more molds a woman invests in, the more candles she make each day and the more income she can earn. Candles were also compelling because the training is very simple, they offer tremendous market opportunities to women, are highly symbolic of peace, prosperity, reflection and empowerment, and can be made in the safety of one's home –- an important consideration in war-torn areas.
Bootstrapping the Early-Stage Social Venture
I joined the team very early on as a partner when Amber and Ted had just launched the pilot project in Baghdad, Iraq in partnership with the international nonprofit organization, Women for Women International. By early 2010, we had a pilot project underway in Baghdad, Iraq and all three of us were devoted full-time to Prosperity Candle. We self-funded the pilot and wanted to have a proof of concept before seeking more funding. By April 2010, we had trained over 40 women, imported thousands of pillar candles and had an e-commerce platform in place. We also lucked out with some early media coverage in the Huffington Post. We were ready to launch our very first sales for Mother's Day 2010.
The response was incredible. Customers were excited to support our mission and were delighted with the quality and symbolism of the products. We felt confident enough in our model at this point that we began approaching potential investors for the company to grow our work.
Nearly all social enterprises face a number of challenges in raising capital for their work.
Social enterprises tend to confuse people –- we're not a non-profit that offers tax deductible donations and we're also not a traditional fast-growth, high-profitability company. So, like most of our peers in the sector, our efforts to raise capital were time-consuming and had limited results. We found some wonderful new lenders, but didn't find sufficient capital to grow our work to the next level.
Raising $10K Funding on ProFounder
While at SoCap (Social Capital Markets Conference) in October 2010 I was focused on exploring how Prosperity Candle could team up with like-minded investors, I learned more about ProFounder and was able to connect with their team.
The ProFounder team invited us to join their platform as a beta entrepreneur to create a capital raise. We decided to do so because we had such a huge groundswell of grassroots support that we wanted to mobilize. Many individuals in our communities wanted to support us financially but were unable to contribute more than a few hundred dollars. Until we learned about Profounder, we couldn't figure out the best way to organize and leverage their support.
For a small social enterprise to accept a loan of less than $5,000 just doesn't make sense in terms of the logistics. But ProFounder's platform changed this for us -– it facilitated small investments from dozens of people to help us grow our work.
Our raise was small on Profounder ($10,000 total) because we wanted to test the waters cautiously.
Although the immediate financial benefit was relatively small compared to the effort we invested, we found that engaging our support base in this way led to a new level of commitment to our mission. These 32 friends and family who joined us as investors have made strategic introductions for us and act as ambassadors for the company. They are willing to open their networks to us and serve as a resource. This is invaluable to us as we grow and will certainly continue to benefit us into the future.
With the support of our ProFounder raise, we were able to update our e-commerce platform, pilot a local candle-making initiative with women refugees from Burma and Bhutan, and expand our sales channels. We've also secured sales relationships with Amnesty International, FEED Projects and Whole Foods.
We're now at a crossroads as a company. We're looking to our future growth as well as sustaining the foundations that we've already created. We're building new sales channels to ensure that we have strong enough market demand to responsibly grow the number of women that we work with and the number of candles that we import.
Knowing that every 10 candles sold equals one day's living wage for a woman in Iraq motivates us daily.
2011 will surely be a pivotal year for Prosperity Candle and we look forward to finding new partners that can help us bring our work to the next level -– both in terms of raising capital to grow our team and to support our sales efforts to empower more women. We are, for instance, reaching out to organizations that focus on women's empowerment and/or women's professional development to offer them an aligned purposeful business gift collection.
We hope some readers will consider supporting our work through this program!
