Ра́йнсберг () — город в Германии, в округе Восточный Пригниц — Руппин федеральной земли Бранденбург. Город стоит на реке Рин и является известным местом отдыха. По занимаемой площади Райнсберг стоит в одном ряду с Бременом и Дрезденом и является одной из (территориально) крупнейших общин Германии.

Известен Райнсберг стал благодаря книге «Райнсберг — книга в картинках для влюблённых» Курта Тухольски, а также благодаря упоминанию в «Странствиях по Бранденбургской марке» Теодора Фонтане.

Входит в состав района Восточный Пригниц-Руппин.  Занимает площадь 324,82 км². Официальный код — 12 0 68 353.

Город подразделяется на 17 городских районов.

Население

География
Рейнсберг находится в Райнсбергской озёрного края среди множества больших и малых озёр, а также красочных холмистых лесных ландшафтов. С юга к городу примыкает Руппинская Швейцария.

Административное деление
Райнсберг подразделяется на 17 административных единиц, которые, в свою очередь, подразделяются на более мелкие:

История
Местность вокруг Райнсберга была заселена достаточно давно. Остатки поселений были также найдены на острове Remus на Райнсбергском озере. Город неразрывно связан с дворцом и династией Гогенцоллернов. После приобретения города прусским королём Фридрихом Вильгельмом I, а также крупного пожара в 1740 году город и дворец (до этого в стиле ренессанса)) вновь отстроены архитекторами Иоганном Готфридом Кемметером и Георгом Венцеслаусом фон Кнобельсдорфом. Рейнсбергский дворец, ставший резиденцией кронпринца Фридриха, является образцом архитектуры фридерицианского рококо и послужил прообразом Сан-Суси в Потсдаме. В местной капелле наследного принца служил придворным цимбалистом Фридриха Великого Карл Филипп Эммануил Бах. Благодаря многочисленным перестройкам замка Райнсберг постепенно стал небольшим городом-резиденцией. В 1762 была основана керамическая мануфактура, ставшая впоследствии одной из крупнейших в Пруссии. Став королём, Фридрих Великий уступил дворец своему брату Генриху, которых проживал во дворце до своей кончины в 1802 году и также неоднократно перестраивал дворец.

В 1966 году вблизи города была построена АЭС, являвшаяся крупнейшим предприятием города до своей остановки в 1990 году. С 1968 года Райнсберг является государственно признанным местом отдыха и надеется приобрести также статус здравницы. После объединения двух немецких государств гражданская инициатива Freie Heide борется против продолжающегося военного использования полигона между Альт-Луттеров и Швайнрих. В 1996 году там установлена деревянная стела в память жертв концентрационного лагеря Заксенхаузен.

Scotland offers plenty of wild and untamed countryside, optimally balanced with a choice of distinctly modern cultural experiences across the nation's great cities.
The country stretches from the rolling, rural farmlands of its south and east to the awe-inspiring drama provided by the western highlands, and on into the remote islands that beckon enticingly across the sea.
Scotland's west coast is characterised by its craggy coastline, and visitors who take the time to pick their way through its cliffs and coves will be delighted to discover beautiful beaches secreted like hidden treasure.
This ancient land has a fascinating history and is studded with ancient castles and strongholds that attest to its contested territory. Scotland's heroic history and battles have been played out against a backdrop of rugged, impassive mountains, shimmering lochs and fast-flowing salmon rivers.
Although part of the United Kingdom, the Scots are a fiercely independent and proud nation. They have their own legal system and parliament – helped by the fact that Scotland has asserted itself as an economic force in its own right. Our Travel Managers for Scotland can help to arrange your itinerary and travel details whether you are visiting Aberdeen as the hub of the North Sea oil industry or Edinburgh, home to Europe's largest bank.
It's far from all work, work, work in Scotland, though. Amongst the drama of the Scottish countryside there are splendid walks to be enjoyed, fish to be plucked from the water, and many of Europe's best courses in the home of golf. There is fine whisky to be sampled and a wide cultural heritage to enjoy, whether it takes the brawny form of highland games or Robert Burns' witty poetry. Scotland's rich cultural traditions come dazzlingly to the fore over the summer months at the cutting-edge Edinburgh festival.
Scottish weather is, on average, somewhat cooler than that of neighbouring England, and its northern latitude means short winter days and very long summer evenings.
Its summer months peak at an average high of 19 degrees Celsius (66 degrees Fahrenheit) during July and August. January and February are the coldest months in Scotland, when you can expect average temperatures of 41 degrees Celsius (5 degrees Fahrenheit).
The coldest areas are, undoubtedly, the highlands. The east coast experiences more sunshine, but also has colder winters than those in the west.
Scotland may be known for its cool, damp and cloudy weather, but actually its daily weather is unpredictable and extremely changeable.
English is the official language, though it is spoken with strong regional accents.
Scotland is part of the United Kingdom, which is in the process of leaving the EU. You need a valid passport to enter the United Kingdom, though EU nationals may – for the time being, at least – gain entry holding only a valid national ID card. You may need a visa to stay in the country for more than six months. You are advised to hold return tickets in order to avoid delays. Please check rules around visa requirements before you travel, as they may change regularly.
In the Scottish countryside, off the beaten track, there are few safety issues other than those related to sudden changes of weather. The usual precautions against crime should be taken in the cities.
For all your high-end, bespoke leisure and corporate travel needs to Scotland, please contact our Travel Managers on 0203 535 9290 or info@simplexitytravel.com today.

Q: FF left table border disappears when wrapper's overflow-x is auto When using a table with bordered cells, in FireFox the left table border disappears when the table is placed in wrapper with overflow-x: auto.

      a

(also here)
A possible workaround I found:

      a

This does happen on every FireFox version beginning from 4 (and possible earlier) up to 56. This behaviour seems totally specific to FF, as I wasn't able to reproduce it any version of IE, Opera, Safari, Android Browser or Chrome (even IE9 conforms here!). I couldn't find any bug report directly mentioning this situation (only table rendering bug that is still open [albeit after 6 years chuckles] is #688556, but it concerns background painting, which is obviously not this case).
Is this a bug I should report, or am I missing some important piece of HTML5 spec here and it is an intended behaviour?

A: Since I assume that this is not intended behaviour, I've submitted this as https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1416504 . Again, the simplest workaround is to provide a left padding of width equal to int( 0.5 * ( left_border_width + 1 ) ).

When it comes to being a pumping working mom, one thing is for sure: keeping tons of snacks on hand is a must!
It's amazing how many calories you burn while breastfeeding, and pumping throughout the day is no exception. Right now I'm pumping three times while I'm at work – morning, lunch, and afternoon. And between pumping, I'm constantly trying to snack and drink a ridiculous amount of water (and the occasional cup of coffee)! Your body NEEDS the extra calories and water to help maintain your breast milk supply, and to keep your energy up. I've found that on days where I don't snack enough, or drink enough water, my supply takes a bit of a dip. Truth be told, I feel like I can eat whatever and however much I want right now. But, that doesn't mean filling up on junk!
I have several "go to's" in my snacking-at-work collection so I thought I'd share. These are all super easy to grab and prepare, and make for great quick snacks. I try to focus on eating snacks that are somewhat high fat and contain a decent amount of protein or fiber. When you're hungry around the clock, it helps so much to keep yourself fueled up.
I try my absolutely hardest to eat a bowl of oatmeal every morning for breakfast. Oatmeal is fantastic for increasing breast milk supply, and it's super filling so you aren't starving by the time you get to work! If I don't get a chance to make it in the morning at home, I'll eat a quick instant pack at my desk. Adding things like almonds or fruit is also a great way to sneak in some extra calories!
This was one of my snack plates right before I went back to work. Now, I can still keep hummus in the break room fridge, and a jar of peanut butter with some crackers on my desk. It's super easy to make a few quick peanut butter crackers either while pumping or between, and hummus is just an all around healthy snack.
Lately I've been obsessed with these KIND granola bars. I usually eat their Dark Chocolate & Sea Salt bars, but these granola bars are also delicious! Since I'm cutting out dairy, finding things with dark chocolate as opposed to milk chocolate has helped me keep my sweet tooth at bay.
Nuts are a great source of protein and healthy fat, and are suuuuuuuper easy to keep around. At the beginning of the week I made several little grab bags of my favorite nuts to put in my desk. You don't want to eat an entire can in one sitting by any means, but eating a handful or two of these a day will help keep your satisfied.
One of my favorite snacks to eat while breastfeeding or pumping has been chicken salad and crackers. Chicken salad may not be the lowest calorie snack, but it's got protein and a little bit of fruit added in, sometimes even celery and walnuts. And since my goal is to actually eat MORE calories, chicken salad fits the bill perfectly. I buy a container of it in the pre-made section at our local Kroger, keep it in the fridge at work, and scoop it out with some crackers whenever I'm ready. And even before I went back to work, I kept chicken salad on hand constantly.
Avocados are such a great healthy fat! My favorite way to eat them is spreading them over a toasted everything bagel! SO good! I actually ate this for breakfast all the time before we got pregnant, but during my pregnancy the thought of eating an avocado made me want to vomit. Literally. Thankfully though, they are back in my rotation! If you have a toaster at work, avocado toast is super easy and quick to make.
The pre-made salad bags they sell at the grocery store are actually super convenient. You can mix it all up in the very same bag, or use a different bowl. I like to add a little protein on top, and keep whatever I don't use for later snacking. I think this particular one was a Summer Mixed Salad with some sort of vinaigrette dressing. The pre-made salads aren't my favorite, but when it comes to grabbing something quick and easy that's GREEN, they aren't half bad! Just be cautious with the dressing, especially if you're avoiding dairy.
I work super close to a Tropical Smoothie, so picking up something with a few servings of fruit in it is no problem at all! And, a smoothie is both filling and satisfying to your sweet tooth!
For more snack ideas, check out nuts.com! I recently discovered it, and am impressed at their selection. They have tons of healthy snacks available, including things other than nuts, like dried fruit. You can also make a custom trail mix or order a gift basket! Don't even get me started on their dark chocolate page…I think I seriously might need those dark chocolate covered espresso beans!!
Disclaimer: I was asked to share nuts.com, and my current healthy snacking habits. I was not compensated.
What do you snack on while at work?
The dark chocolate & sea salt are my favorite Kind bars, too!
Also, I ate Walmart's packaged chicken salad for lunch today.


Public sector defence companies in India had their hands tied in the past decade due to poor government policies.
So even as India's defence budget tripled since 2009, companies did not see their order books swell.
And India's defence equipment did not get adequately modernised. Rather most of the funds went towards meeting salary and pension obligations.
But the latest round of privatisation rules for the defence sector is about to bring a big change.
And it is already enticing some of the biggest global defence manufacturers like Lockheed Martin to Indian shores.

Home Games Patriots Rumors Conflicting Reports Emerge Tom Brady Plotting AFC…
Patriots Rumors Conflicting Reports Emerge Tom Brady Plotting AFC…
The fact that the New England Patriots are bringing back almost all of their starters from last year's 10-7 club is encouraging. However, similar strategies have been implemented by other, more capable AFC clubs.
The fact that those teams have prioritised improvement is probably the single biggest source of frustration for Patriots fans right now. The Miami Dolphins are just one of those teams.
The Dolphins Have Been One Of The Most Active Teams In Free Agency
The Dolphins have been one of the most active teams in free agency, spending heavily after winning eight of their last nine games. Terron Armstead, Cedrick Williams, Chase Edmonds, Raheem Mostert, and Connor Williams are some of their more prominent acquisitions.
In addition to acquiring Tyreek Hill through trade, the team has kept hold of Emmanuel Ogbah and Mike Gesicki and signed Teddy Bridgewater to play backup quarterback to Tua Tagovailoa.

To cut a long story short, the Dolphins will find out before the end of next season if Tagovailoa is their franchise quarterback. But with these new and enhanced tools, will the former No. 5 overall pick even get a shot to show what he can do?
New England sportscaster Dan Arnold said Thursday on WEEI radio that he "wouldn't be surprised" if Tom Brady (!) signs with the Dolphins, adding that the two teams are "working on it."

The AFC East might be the perfect place for former Patriots quarterback Tom Brady to end his career. Remember that Arnold hasn't been around long, yet he was the one who introduced Brady to the Bucs… so …
The Patriots may have avoided disaster this summer so far, but if Tom Brady were to return to the AFC East, their good fortune would quickly run out.
Given Brady's penchant for holding grudges, it wouldn't be shocking if he signed with a rival of the Patriots as revenge for Bill Belichick's handling of his time with the team.

It would be shocking news to most quarterbacks. Considering this… Who else in NFL history could get away with retiring, coming out of retirement to play for his old team (the Buccaneers), recruiting free agents (Russell Gage, Ryan Jensen, etc.), and then plotting a trade to the Dolphins?

Conservation Optimism Summit
Thu, 20/04/2017 - Sat, 22/04/2017
Dulwich College, London, United Kingdom
VCA Guidance, Global
With more than half of the world's wildlife having disappeared in the last 40 years and climate change continuing to push many species to the brink of extinction, the challenges facing wildlife conservation have never been greater.
But while the threats facing the planet can sometimes seem overwhelming, a new summit being organised by ZSL (Zoological Society of London) and the University of Oxford is aiming to shift conservation focus onto the success stories, and highlight that there is a need, as well as a cause, for optimism.
The Conservation Optimism Summit, to be held 20-22 April 2017, will bring together people from across the worlds of conservation, government, industry and academia to highlight ways in which we can celebrate successes and encourage a new, positive way of thinking about conservation to inspire more people to work for wildlife.
Following two days of workshops and discussion at Dulwich College in London, the summit will culminate on Earth Day 2017 with a public event at ZSL London Zoo to share, showcase and celebrate the work that has been done so far to conserve species across the animal kingdom, from partula snails to pandas.
Recognising & encouraging conservation where we live & work
The Summit included a session the Verified Conservation Area (VCA) approach, a voluntary mechanism for recognizing area-based conservation. VCA offers communities, companies, and individuals the opportunity to be recognised for their conservation efforts through transparency, accountability, and verification.
It begain with an introduction to the VCA approach, followed by an overview of research on landowner motivations for conservation actions. It will conclude with two commentators and an open discussion.

About the VCA approach
The VCA Approach aims to reduce our global footprint by encouraging voluntary conservation beyond legally protected areas. It is inclusive and enables communities, companies, individuals and local authorities to join a new social movement for conservation. All areas managed to conserve nature can be registered as VCAs.
Listing on the VCA Registry enables land-based conservation efforts to be visible and accountable to key stakeholders and to the broader public. Listing an area is guided by the VCA Standard and Toolkit, which are based on international best practice.
Over the next three years, the VCA partners will list 100 new VCAs covering six million hectares. Together, we will scale up a social movement for conservation by fostering a learning and sharing culture to conserve the areas where we live and work. More information is available at http://conserveareas.org/.

Widespread annuals and perennials will likely be cheaper so that you can purchase at massive house enchancment stores than they would be if bought at a greenhouse. These sorts of crops are going to be of the identical quality and you do not need to spend quite a lot of cash on them. Examine the crops intently before you purchase them regardless of where you purchase them from. Lovely panorama designs are people who take height and layering into consideration. By staggering plantings based mostly on their probable stature when mature, it's doable to create a tableau that appears natural, relatively than overly planned. This offers the appearance of a lush, pure backyard as an alternative of a formulaic grouping of predictable vegetation.
Fill your yard with native plants. Native varieties require much less attention because they're living in an atmosphere that's naturally conducive to their growth. This makes for a low-upkeep component to your yard. You might discover more information on plants that are native to your area at any gardening retailer in your area. Before you resolve on a panorama plan, you'll want to contemplate the quantity of upkeep it'll require. Relying on the vegetation you employ and the local weather you live in, you can must water your lawn everyday. Moreover, some grasses may require you to cut your garden more than once per week. Ensure you have got the time to care to your new garden.
One of the most important things you are able to do to reduce your landscaping prices, is to draw up a plan before you begin buying vegetation, and building materials. Knowing what you need, and where it goes will forestall you from wasting money on unneeded items. You will prevent time as effectively. If you're considering of renovating your landscaping, attempt to utilize low-maintenance plants, and constructions in your plan. This may cut back the amount of time you might be maintaining your landscaping, and maximize the amount of time you'll be able to get pleasure from it. If you don't choose one of these landscaping, you will be upset when you find yourself sweating in the summer sustaining your landscaping.
Panorama in line with how much time you can commit. While an elaborate panorama might look good on paper, keep in mind that it requires constant repairs. When designing your garden take into consideration your out there time, your physical situation, and your finances. Solely tackle the responsibilities of a backyard which you can easily deal with. Be neighborly. Landscaping gear is expensive. Earlier than you spend money on it, see if any of your neighbors are attention-grabbing in landscaping their yard as nicely. If they are, suggest that you simply break up the price of equipment rental. You might save some huge cash by merely taking the time to be sociable.
When planning a landscaping mission for your home, you may wish to contemplate talking to a professional first. Whereas you almost certainly will not want to bring in a designer to supervise your entire mission, getting some professional advice may just save you from making expensive errors in the future. In case you are attempting to hide an unsightly fence in your yard, contemplate including some climbing crops. Climbing crops will naturally cover the fence, making it extra attractive to the attention. This is a lot cheaper than replacing the fence, and it offers you an additional sense of privateness too.
Use coloration. Landscaping is usually expensive. If you don't have the money to spend, attempt flowers. There is not any have to spend money on rare, unique vegetation. Many flowers are very inexpensive and straightforward to acquire. Planting some here and there may give new life to a once boring stretch of land. Plant your garden in layered horizontal segments for probably the most visual interest. The tallest plants are sometimes planted as a background factor in the numerous segments of a landscaping plan. Place your different vegetation around them varying the peak from tallest to shortest as you move away from the central factor of a section.
If you find yourself choosing trees so as to add to your landscape design, make sure to consider how massive they may finally grow. A six foot cedar tree can simply grow to 20 toes in a number of quick years. Do some on-line analysis, or ask a nursery for ideas on trees that can develop to roughly the dimensions you want. Create a multi-seasonal garden to take advantage of your landscaping endeavors. Use crops that bloom for various seasons so that your yard appears to be like at its finest. Trees that bear attention-grabbing or colourful foliage, in addition to evergreens, are another great way to keep your garden looking pretty throughout the year.
An organization can determine the exact chemicals, treatments, and care that your lawn needs, leading to much less work and generally, a diminished value.

The Real-life Memory Thief: Alzheimer's Disease and its Potential Causes.
Posted on November 22, 2017 , updated on November 22, 2017 by SIS Digital
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a progressive neurological disorder that involves the deterioration of brain cells. It is common among the elderly, rare among young people, and is characterized initially by memory impairment, which later leads to more serious symptoms such as difficulty in reasoning, planning, perception, and language. Symptoms may vary in terms of severity. The commonness of the disease is equally serious – for every 66 seconds in the United States, a person develops the disease.
The prevalence of Alzheimer's is alarming. The costs of long-term health care have now surpassed a quarter of a trillion dollars this year. Funds have been poured into research, but to this day, no definitive answer about its cause has been found. Despite this, several theories posit that the disease could come from either neurological or genetic mutation or disturbance. The most widely discussed theory is known as the Amyloid Cascade hypothesis.
The Amyloid Cascade Hypothesis
Researchers feel like this hypothesis, proposed amidst several unanswered questions, could best explain the nature of the disease. It asserts that the amyloid precursor protein (APP) forms the amyloid-beta. Special enzymes severe the protein at certain places, forming what is called the amyloid-beta peptide. These clump together as oligomers, which are said to be toxic to brain cells. The accumulation of oligomers is then asserted as the direct factors of the disease's symptoms.
Although this hypothesis is popularly accepted among researchers, the challenge appears in the fact that amyloid-beta accumulating in plaques also happens in normal aging; thus, the "no definite cause" status of the disease.
Other possible factors
Another considered theory is called the Mitochondrial Cascade hypothesis, which asserts gene inheritance as what defines a person's mitochondrial function at the base. Mitochondrial function then experiences changes at different rates over time, eventually influencing the start of an Alzheimer's Disease chronology.
Accumulation of tau plaques and tangles have also been considered as prime suspects in cell death and tissue loss. Tau primarily helps the transport system in healthy areas, but where tangles are forming, twisted tau strands significantly destabilize the system. In the process, nutrients can no longer move through cells, causing death.
Two other categories linked to genetics are proposed by the Alzheimer's Association, which identifies risk genes and deterministic genes as potential factors. Basically, there are two types of the disease – early onset and late onset. Both types are known to have a genetic component. Risk genes may increase the chances of developing AD but do not actually guarantee it. Deterministic genes, on the other hand, guarantee that anyone will develop AD if one gene is inherited.
Both define what is known as "Familial Alzheimer's," and although rare, provide significant clues as to how AD potentially develops.
Some scientists posit that age-related neurological changes may have the ability to harm nerve cells, which then may contribute to the disease. These changes are known as cerebral atrophy (shrinking of certain brain parts), breakdown of energy-producing cells, inflammation (by injury or another disease), and free radicals.
Other theories also explore nutrition as a cause. Global malnutrition and a lack or absence of specific vitamins have been found in people diagnosed with AD, although there is no clear evidence that successfully determines whether poor diet is a cause or effect of cognitive decline.
Other areas of research gather other surprisingly possible causes of the disease:
Anti-anxiety medication – New science deduced from a 6-year British Medical Journal study following 1,797 diagnosed Canadians pointed out that benzodiazepines (a class of medications used to treat anxiety), was associated with a 51% increase in the disease.
Sleep deprivation – Being regularly sleep-deprived is common among people of all ages. A Temple University in Philadelphia found via mice experiment that tau accumulation increased by letting mice sleep for only four hours a night. Chronic sleep deprivation is known to cause mental and physical stress, which hastens harmful processes that eventually lead to AD.
Cerebral diabetes – According to Brown University neuroscientist Suzanne de la Monte, Alzheimer's Disease is metabolic. She emphasized the natural ability of insulin as the prompter of brain cells to contract glucose from the blood. Her insight however, was that brains could form insulin resistance, paving the way for harmful protein buildups in the brain.
It can be difficult to make sense of the all the theories that point towards Alzheimer's. Experts then tell us to view it as a disease that can be developed by a variety of ways. Research is still in the midst of finding out brain physiology and anatomy, which unfortunately provides us several indefinites for now. However, prevention may be done by way of developing a brain-healthy lifestyle.

Stock Watch has now become Ireland's largest independent third party bar stocktaking solution for the hospitality sector. Their success in developing their brand and the results that they have been achieving in the Irish market has allowed their service to grow through franchising.
Kate Murphy, Director commented "We see Cork City and County as being a critical area for us and we needed to ensure that we signed the right people for this area. We are delighted to have Don and Richard Good on-board as they have worked in the stocktaking business and also bring a wealth of knowledge to our company.
Commenting at the signing of the agreement, Dermot Carberry, Managing Director of Internal Solutions stated" In this service sector it is critical that we source the right people to represent the Stock Watch brand. Our success in Ireland to date has been on recruiting good franchisees that will develop the business well in their territory and also produce excellent results for their clients. Beverage audits of bars, restaurants, hotels and clubs have revealed that these losses range from 8-15% with the average loss being almost 10%.
Stock Watch continue to grow their network around Ireland and are currently engaged with potential franchisees in nationwide. The franchise is an excellent opportunity for an individual that is looking to set up their own business for a low cost of entry.
In April 2012 Stock Watch was finalist in the 2012 Best Emerging Franchise Awards in Dublin which were sponsored by Ulster Bank.


WHEN Ruth Hutchinson's mum died three years ago she wanted to find a way to have her mum, Jill, remembered forever.
"I needed to do something different, but I didn't know what different was," says Ruth, 51, of Moncrieff.
Jill, who had been in high-level care for many years, had lost most community points, which left Ruth unsure of who she would get to organise the funeral.
So Ruth decided she would organise it herself.
"After saying I'd do it, I went home and got out programs from funerals I'd been to and thought, what have I committed myself to?" she says.
After putting a program together in about 20 minutes, Ruth then ran through it, which took about 15 minutes. At that point she had decided that her mum's life was worth more than a quarter of an hour so she went back to the drawing board.
"Being a typical female, I headed to the shops for some good therapy," she says.
And it was at the shops when an idea came to her.
"I decided to get stuff that represented mum," she says.
So she put together a gift kit and during the service handed it out to family and friends, which became her eulogy as she described the significance of each token.
"I handed it out to everybody and once they had a kit I started to go through each item," she says.
"Each item represented mum, to me. One item was an alarm clock because Jill was never late for one thing in her life.
That was in February and later that year, in December, Ruth was speaking to one of her cousins at a family event who told her how she'd put the alarm clock next to her bed.
"She said: 'Every morning I get up and look at that clock and think of Aunty Jill'," says Ruth, who in that conversation realised she had done what she set out to do – have her mum remembered.
"As an only child it was comforting to see that others will remember my mum, too," she says.
And, while Ruth didn't know it at the time, it sent her down the path of starting her own business.
"If this worked for me, helping me with my feeling of loss, then this should also help others," she says.
After starting her business "Forever Impressions" this year, Ruth, or as others like to jokingly call her, "the death queen", helps others with the loss of a loved one through gifting at a funeral service.
"Many people feel overwhelmed when organising funeral arrangements for a loved one," she says.
"Forever Impressions can help and support those going through a time of loss by paying tribute to who they love.

the plan is for the petrels to go somewhere in the front yard and the pixies in the front walkway border (currently nothing but liriope and christmas lights there). i'm not sure what to do with the others.
in fact, i'm not even sure anything but the narcissus will do well, but the price was right for a bit of experimentation.

It was the battle of the fandoms on September 29th, 2007 when Atlanta furries took on a challenge by local Trekkies in Furries vs. Klingons, a bowling competition held in Atlanta, Georgia between a group of furries and two local Star Trek fan clubs.
The event was organized by the USS Republic NCC-1371 (the Atlanta chapter of STARFLEET International) and the Atlanta MurrFurs. The Atlanta chapter of the Klingon Assault Group, a.k.a. KAG Atlanta, was also invited to compete. "Lucky Wolf," a member of the MurrFurs, created the poster image that billed the event, somewhat misleadingly, as "Furries vs. Klingons," despite the fact that it was actually a STARFLEET event..
The Klingon team - most of whom appeared to be humans in regular Star Trek uniforms - emerged victorious, with a score of 32 to 27. However, the furry team had far more members than the Klingons.
The event was first announced on the Atlanta Furs community LiveJournal, and the news spread from there. It hit not only furry websites, but also popular websites Boing Boing and Fark, and was attended by G4. An online poll of supporters attracted over 500 votes, which were evenly distributed between the teams.
The furries were at a disadvantage as fursuits made bowling difficult; specifically, the paw gloves made holding the ball tricky and the costume head obstructed vision. However, not all furries - or Klingons - were in costume.
Due to uneven numbers, the winners were decided in a bowl-off between the top five bowlers from each side.
There is a trophy BTW, but it doesn't matter who wins or who loses, we are all just here for fun.

Postoral Homer : orality and literacy in the Homeric epic / Rainer Friedrich.
Friedrich, Rainer, author.
Stuttgart : Franz Steiner Verlag, [2019]
Hermes. Einzelschriften Heft 112.
Hermes. Einzelschriften ; Band 112
276 pages ; 24 cm.
Homer -- Literary style.
Oral-formulaic analysis.
Orality in literature.
"Milman Parry's comparative study of Homer and Southslavic oral song had demonstrated the existence of an oral tradition behind and within the Homeric Epic, thus establishing an indisputable link between Homer and oral poetry. Yet its exact nature has remained a moot point. For equally indisputable is the fact of the coexistence of oral and literate features within the Homeric Epic. Thus not behaving as either a straight oral song or as a straight literate text tout court, the Homeric Epic calls into question the prevailing Parryist axiom of the oral Homer. The link between Homer and oral poetry has thus become an open question again: it is, in fact, the New Homeric Question that turns on the roles of orality and literacy in the genesis of the Homeric Epic.To clarify it this book experiments with a third term: postorality. As a postoral poet, having initially been trained as an oral bard absorbing the Hellenic oral tradition, Homer would have acquired literacy in the course of his career as an oral singer. It enabled him to widen, deepen, and refine his epic art, thereby giving rise to an epic as complex and unique, in terms of structure, characterization, and intellectual substance, as the Iliad."-- Provided by publisher.

Hello Happy Site Owners! Welcome to the BlogAid Tips Tuesday Podcast for November 3, 2015 and I'm your host MaAnna.
This past week I was slammed to the wall with getting a bunch of tests finished up, plus keeping up with all the changes rolling out to Blab and WordPress, and social media.
I've also been doing a bunch of tests y'all haven't heard about yet because I'm working back channels with the creators to hopefully get some things fixed. What I'm working on is not a security thing, but it's the same way white hat hackers work. They let plugin devs or platforms know about an issue privately, and then only go public once there is a fix. That helps keep hackers and other folks who would want to take advantage of it at bay too.
And, I've got a couple of posts brewing that are going to make some folks drop their jaws. My Webmaster Training folks already know about the issues and they are taking steps to get their client sites ahead of the news too.
I'll have more for you on all that in the coming weeks.
I got a notice from Udemy that sure put a smile on my face.
Student feedback there resulted in them recognizing me as a top instructor!
My sincere thanks to everyone who has left reviews and completed their surveys. It really means a lot to me personally and to my success on Udemy and with my business. And yes, it certainly encourages me to make more courses.
You can see all of my video courses on the BlogAid Videos page. Scroll down to see the Udemy ones too.
I wasn't always a geek. But there is a common thread to all I've done. And +Marc Isaacson did a pretty masterful job of bringing that to light in this Blab interview.
And I interviewed one of my awesome site audit clients this past week too. Lifestyle blogger Michelle Guajardo shares her site audit experience and why paying for reputable help up front could have saved her about $1,000, a year of time, and a whole lot of peace of mind.
I know she'll agree with me that we can sum up a lot of her past experience with the cliché, if you think hiring a pro is expensive, wait until you hire an amateur.
There are some super social sharing features in the Yoast SEO plugin. He snuck those in a few updates ago and I've just now been able to make room in my schedule to test them out. You can specify the title, description, and image you want to post on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Google+. Those things also come into play when folks share your posts on those platforms too. And it always picks up your SEO meta description.
My tests involved how the post is picked up on social media if you don't fill all those things out too, and which image is picked up.
I made a quick MaAnna Minute video for you, and have the written test summary on the post. My Webmaster Training folks got the full test results, plus the code that's involved too.
Another test I ran last week was on the performance hit for embedded Blabs. That includes scheduled, live streaming, and replays. You can see the results in a quick MaAnna Minute video.
Learn about what's coming down the pike for WordPress and bring your questions, plus share your expertise. It takes a village.
Join me for all the Blab news of the week, plus how-to and tips, hear how others are using Blab. All Blab newbies welcome to jump in and ask questions too.
If you're in my Blab Like a Pro course on Udemy then please do join the private Facebook Group. You'll find the link in the Bonus Lecture at the end.
Udemy limits me on how often I can make announcements to you from within the course, and Blab just changes too much for that. You can get up-to-the-minute info on the Facebook Group. Plus, it's a great way to meet other Blab hosts and support one another and ask questions.
Speaking of Udemy and Blabs, I caught a super duper Blab with host +Tim Cooper and his special guest Sarah Cordiner about how she went from broke to 7-figures by teaching what she knew.
Y'all know I don't go for that pie-in-the-sky fluff stuff. I've listened to this Blab twice already. And I'll be listening to it at least twice more. And I've already got an action item list going and will be putting as much of it into place as fast as I can this coming week.
Sarah is not at all fluffy. She's the real deal. And if you already know a little bit about teaching, promotion, and conversion, you'll come away from listening to this interview with an action item list too.
Let's dive into this week's tips from around the 'net.
WordPress 4.4 release is only a month away. There are big changes coming and you'll want to get ahead of the curve. There may not be a lot of things for you to do just yet, but there certainly are things you want to know about ahead of time. So, jump on over to my post and get the non-geek explanation of what's going on.
Y'all may remember that the Simple Share Buttons Adder plugin was my 2014 top pick for speed and performance among the free share button plugins.
I saw a recent update from the devs that the 6.1.1 version fixed a bug if you were using custom images. And we can all thank +Mary Iannotti for that. She's the one who found the bug and worked with the devs.
And FYI, that plugin has changed a lot since I made a vid tut on it. I've got a new one on my to do list. I'll keep you posted on when it's out. They've added a new interface and bunch of upgrades.
Y'all may also remember my video tour of the Simple Live Press plugin that auto publishes your Blab replays.
and a few bug and feature improvements that make everything look better.
Even Yoast doesn't always aim for green dots. Remember that post I wrote about Why Green Dot SEO Fails?
Well, even team Yoast doesn't try to get a green dot on every post. Read or watch his vlog to discover why.
This won't happen. But Jeff Chandler is right. It should. Y'all have heard me preach for over a year now about turning XML-RPC all the way off due to big security issues. On the WPTavern blog, Jeff makes the case for getting rid of it altogether. Like I said, it won't happen, but something has to change.
For now, make sure you turn it off, and it takes doing that in 3 places. I do it for my site audit clients all the time.
Well, I'm not sure I agree with all of Andy Smith's reasoning behind the statement he's making with this post on the Reel SEO blog about the direction YouTube is going with Red.
Read the post for yourself, and then read the comments, because they are just as telling about how folks are on both sides of the fence with this as content producers and as consumers.
Are you going to be buying into Red to get rid of ads?
Do you make money from ads on YouTube in one way or another?
On Social Media Examiner, Michael Stelzner interviewed Owen Hemsath, who is a big-time YouTube marketing dude.
That interview, coupled with a recent G+ conversation about why some folks are choosing not to post their Blabs to YouTube made me sit down and rethink my YouTube strategy.
Owen made mention that it shouldn't be a repository for every video you've made. And the folks on G+ agreed. Sometimes different channels are required to keep things focused.
So, now I'm starting to think of YouTube as another blog, with categories. And it's starting to make more sense about how I can use it much better.
I'm still finishing up +Ileane Smith's YouTube course and I think I'll actually retake some of it with this new awareness in mind. I'll keep you posted on how it goes.
Google is getting into the podcast business with the upcoming release of Google Play. I believe they are definitely going to try to give iTunes a run for their money.
I want to send a big shout out and thanks to +Ana Hoffman for the heads up on this news.
The platform hasn't launched yet, but you can go ahead and get your podcast feed listed. Right now it's only for the U.S. and will only have a native Android app available.
If you host your podcast on Libsyn, then you'll want to read this post on their special feed for Google Play.
+Ileane Smith has a quick video with her insights on the impact of Google Play. I found it most helpful, and full of things I never even considered. Well worth watching to get her take on it. Ileane's been at this a while and has a super perspective on it.

Passing on a love of science
Illinois State University staff	November 21, 2019 Filed Under Advancement Alumni Engagement Biological Sciences Chemistry College of Arts and Sciences
Sher '71 and Todd Rockway are passionate about encouraging students to embrace science. During Redbirds Rising: The Campaign for Illinois State, the Rockways established the Sheryll (Renken) and Todd Rockway Endowed Scholarship in Biology, giving more than $37,000 to support the fund. The scholarship assists ISU students majoring in biology or chemistry.
Sher '71 and Todd Rockway
Sher and Todd met in 2001 through a mutual appreciation of science. Todd obtained a Ph.D. in chemistry in 1983 from the University of Arizona in Tucson. Sher earned a Ph.D. in science education from the University of Iowa in 1993. They married in 2004 and after both retired—Sher in 2004 from teaching science in the Indian Prairie School District and Todd in 2012 from a chemistry management role at Abbott Laboratories—they settled in Baileys Harbor, Wisconsin.
A shared volunteer experience was the impetus for their gift to Illinois State. While working with disadvantaged youth through Waukegan to College, a community-based college preparatory program, the Rockways saw firsthand the barriers some students face when pursuing a college degree.
"In the future, this scholarship will help others to find their value, just like it helped me to find mine."
"We spent many Saturday mornings mentoring youth through Waukegan to College," Todd said. "It was neat to see kids we'd worked with go to college and graduate." The Rockways' endowment is a resource for undergraduate students majoring in biology or chemistry who demonstrate academic achievement and/or financial need.
"We feel very blessed to be able to give back to Illinois State," said Sher, who has been giving consistently to her alma mater since she graduated. Todd agrees, noting that it's rewarding to encourage students to maintain an interest in science.
"We wanted to communicate to students who love science that it's okay to like science, it's okay to be a chemistry person," he said. "And if students who are interested in science can get a job doing what they love, their job will become a hobby."
Elizabeth Garrelts
Chemistry major and biological science minor Elizabeth Garrelts received the scholarship in 2019. She knows first-hand how helpful the support of a fellow science lover can be.
"As a woman in chemistry with ambitions of attending medical school, receiving the scholarship helped me gain more confidence," Garrelts said. "In the future, this scholarship will help others to find their value, just like it helped me to find mine."
Donors like Sher and Todd Rockway bridge the gap between student access and student achievement. To support scholarships at Illinois State University, visit RedbirdsRising.IllinoisState.edu.

Film review: A Star Is Born
Lights, camera, action! The stars are here – or more to the point, Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga are – in this example of how to sprinkle a breath of fresh air over a film not once but three times adapted for the silver screen.
Sure, the previous attempts all had a leading cast to draw in the cinema-going public, but Brad's got an ace up his sleeve. Please welcome to the stage Lady Gaga (real name Stefani Germanotta), who has shown through her choice in acting roles that she can do more than just sing. With recent appearances on fan favourite American Horror Story and the graphic novel adaptation of the Sin City sequel 'A Dame to Kill For', Gaga has repeatedly surprised audiences with the quality of her acting. Here we find Gaga in her comfort zone in a semi-auto biographical piece in places that reflects some of the trials real life Stefani went through to get to where she is today. Really, it should come as no surprise that the soundtrack is great, the perfect accompaniment to a movie that deals with everything from love and relationships to success and addiction. I think you will agree that this is a shoe in for 'Best Picture' come Oscar season and I have no doubt a whole bunch of other awards.
Shot by none other than Cooper himself in what is his first credited role as director. Along for the ride with Cooper is other Hollywood alumni in the form of Matthew Libatique, cinematographer of such recent success as Oscar winning Black Swan and the Golden Globe winning The Fountain.
Mr. Libatique has an eye for the real, instantly capable of capturing elements that are truly emotive lending the dialog a partner in the way a shot is delivered for maximum emotional effect. It perhaps seems obvious that a drama about musicians would have great sound design, but the Dolby Atmos soundtrack on offer here is fabulous. Not content with only one movie for this October weekend, Mr. Libatique also shows his hand with cinematography duties on a very different film that's no less capable of drawing the crowds: Venom starring Tom Hardy, a very different project opening opposite Mr. Cooper's directing debut that is sure to make for a record breaking take at the box office for this usually more quiet autumnal release slot.
Cooper's seasoned musician lead "Jackson Maine" is instantly recognisable. We have seen this before, but with Cooper's previous roles often of the more comical and fantastic, be it the likes of his prosthetic stealing Rocket Racoon in Guardians Of The Galaxy and comical parts from the Hangover movies, it's refreshing to see Bradley in this heartwarming real life drama. Maine is instantly likeable, but as the film progresses we get to see that life on the road has lead dear Jackson to become a tired and self-obsessed road musician, becoming more detached as the years go by. When the lights are up, he can carry a show and sing a jaunty tune winning the crowd every time.
Yes, that really is him singing and might I say doing an admirable job when in such accomplished company as chart topping Lady Gaga. The tale has been told before: the successful stage star with a unfulfilled personal life – Jackson meets Gaga's "Ally" after a gig in the first bar he can find, and lo and behold she turns on the charm with a memorable take on "La vie en rose". Jackson's smitten, but this girl might just really have something. What follows is the expected laughs and shy looks leading to quiet moments where our leads show, what I must say, are very believable scenes that are at once very natural and don't have that normal infatuated look of two people falling for each other because its in the script, instead displaying a real sense of emotional attachment.
So after a brief getting to know one and other with an impromptu night on the tiles, Ally warms to Jackson and of course after Jackson gets to grips with some choice samples from Ally's soon-to-be career-inducing crowd pleasers, Jackson is determined to show this girl that she's really got what it takes and of course with a little of the old Jackson magic, they'll be great together.
The movie has a real "feel good" heart when the going is good but of course that's not the only song this movie has to sing, as the plot soon shows us what a life on the road has allowed Jackson to do to himself. With Ally's star on the rise and his own diminishing, Jackson's drinking drives a wedge between them and soon depression sets in. Coopers portrayal of this age old stereotype is at times hard to watch, as we see what a truly devastating addiction to alcohol does to a person and those that care for the dear old Jackson, it's as heartbreaking as only a real world issue can be.
It is not all surprising that with the talent involved this take on A Star is Born is perhaps more relevant now in this digital age of self-made musicians as it can and should serve as a warning to all of us searching out our own slice of fame and fortune that perhaps it's the simple things in life we should hold dear to.
