tour diary #7
jónsi's manager john best is spending some time on the road with the band as they tour asia, here is the seventh installment of his tour diary
december 2nd, 2010 nagoya, japan
so before we go any further, we have an imbalance to correct, people. you know what i'm talking about. yes, it's ok that jonsi dominates his own message-board topic-by-topic (last seen 127 pages and numero uno entry for the so-called 'jontastic' thread, updated one hour ago). equally i can understand that alex merits 4 pages and 118 comments, updated most recently yesterday. i can even credit that 'doddi is a force of nature' is good for 31 comments spread over 2 pages, again last updated yesterday. but, come on guys!, ulfur, no updates on his optimistically entitled 'fan thread' for a fortnight? this guy is busting his skinny balls for you night after night and this is how you repay him? look at his haircut! that's worth a thread on its own, especially here in japan where every young man has this kind of beiber-esque wispy thing going on, only in black. come on people, show some goddam appreciation.
but, but, but…that is as nought compared to the tawdry treatment doled out to the nearly man, the quite riot, the nerd-done-good, selflessly tinkling the ivories, hammering the glock and bashing the shit out of the pots'n'pans drum-set gig after gig, show after show, tour after tour, always in the noirish gloom, out of the spotlight, just so jonsi can get 127 pages of sucky praise from a bunch of undeserving ingrates. yes, i'm talking about obo, ólafur björn ólafsson to you, the eminence gris of the whole jonsi live experience. he's a proud man, some might say a great man, a man singly unconcerned by the fact the if you search the whole of the jonsi forum you don't get a single result for "obo", not a one. he only crops up in a word like "robot". seriously what is up with that shit? if i were obo – and who wouldn't want to be? – i would refuse to take the stage til someone, anyone, somewhere started a thread about what an ubermensch i am. it doesn't have to sexually based (like much of alex's), but that wouldn't hurt either.
and if you don't think obo is worth his own thread, consider this: (i) obo is the only member of jonsi's band cool enough to get away with sunglasses on stage (although he did have to take them off because sarne, the monitor guy, couldn't tell if was looking at him or not); (ii) obo is only member of the band who can do "the worm", for real; (iii) obo thinks you pronounce cher as "chair" and genuinely believes this would be a better name; (iv) obo also thinks there is a second "b" sound in the word "bombing"; (v) and he calls christine aguilera "a feisty creature", pronouncing feisty like "feasty"; (vi) obo is the only band member rock'n'roll enough to throw up in his own bunk. afterwards the bus driver was overheard blaming on "that ubu guy". for his part, modest to the last, he believes just being in the band is cool enough and that it is unbecoming to go cap in hand begging for a thread. but i say what the f@ck?!, this man is a minor (key) deity. you know what to do.

jónsi's manager john best is spending some time on the road with the band as they tour asia, here is the sixth installment of his tour diary
december 1st, 2010 osaka, japan
just back from the osaka show. 24 hours into japan and things are feeling alright. the crowd tonight was, as predicted, kinda reverential, which was nice, if entirely diametric to korea the other night. i guess they are just soaking it up and being respectful, and eventually things did get a little hotter under the collar, but only one paper plane tonight as opposed to to the hundreds in seoul, so come on nogoya and tokyo, let down your hair a little bit, why dontcha?
in other news, the band are presently unusually clean, thanks to the amazing bathhouse area on the 6th floor of the hotel. you can go there and sit at you own private station in a wet room and do the complete top-to-toe treatment, with a full range of products and utensils. obo and doddi are now closely shaved where it counts (on the face), while alex could eat his dinner off jonsi, if that were his thing. sadly for ulfur he can't go to the bathhouse because he has a tattoo, and tattoos are banned in such place to prevent yakuza from using them as meeting places. true fact. anyway, the plunge pool after the sauna is a new high in human sensation, bettered only by the prospect of an ice cold asahi in the relaxing area afterwards.
– not everyone drinks asahi, old action dudes prefer pocari sweat
so, that's what me, jonsi and obo did last night before hitting shinsaibashi for some late night action. actually it wasn't that late, because everything seems to happen really, really early in japan, including tonight's gig which took place at 7pm. also, we didn't really *hit* shinsaibashi so much as lightly mollycoddle it, since despite coming to japan for years now, we never really feel we quite get the hang of it. so we wandered round the narrow streets with more tiny bars than there can possibly be people to drink in them, stultified by choice. the so-called "girls bars" are intriguing, but of course we were too pussy to go in one. we did try to go into something labelled a "cabaret" but the guy at the door said it was for japanese only. is that legal? i mean, isn't it racist to exclude the white man? whatevs, we perambulated on, impressed that none of the bicycles choking the roadsides seem to be locked, and wondering why the guys in the big white cars leaning on their horns seem to get everyone else to pull over to the sides to let them through like they're the 4th emergency service. maybe they're the guys with the tattoos?
– those bikes aren't even secured!
– typically warm and inviting shinsaibashi bar
in the end we went randomly to a tiny jazz bar called tako tako, which had some atmos and cool record sleeves on the wall. i guess the western decor was something to hold onto in an otherwise gently bewildering nipponese experience. and if you think we are typically "gaijin" for being discombobulated watch this:
this raises so many questions i don't know where to begin. or – still not convinced? – consider the fact that japanese people go to concerts like this (scroll down to video):

no wonder they politely clap when a mere human takes to the stage.

november 29th, 2010 seoul, south korea
sorry to the rest of the world, but seoul, s korea just came from nowhere to take top spot in best audience ever stakes. we thought ferrara was good, with its coordinated confetti and hand-held flares back in the summer, and salt lake city knocked our socks off when we were expecting, well, i don't know we were expecting, but certainly not thinly-veiled hysteria. and now seoul. who'd a thunk it?
i guess the signs were there from the welcoming committee at the airport with the really professional printed banners…in somewhat, um, stilted icelandic! (the printers in s korea do a smashing job, people). peter, our tour manager, joked that he'd bought the "fan package" for s e asia to make the *talent* feel better about himself, but this was a degree or two above rent-a-crowd. after that though there was little indicate major devotion nestling in bosom of the populace. our short sorties from the intercontinental into the anodyne streets nearby were undisturbed by acolytes or indeed anyone. the major talking point was the sheer quality of the hotel breakfast.
when we got to the ax club in the afternoon there was a small phalanx of mostly female fans across from the front door, who jostled politely at the sight of the merch, but nothing out of the ordinary. even as the set commenced the mood was, if anything, more than usually reserved (sometime the politeness of asian audiences can be misinterpreted as lack of interest by some sensitive artists), although the large number of people wearing home-made crowns a-la-doddi was noted with pleasure*, as were a further three icelandic banners thanking jonsi for (finally) coming to korea. and then, slowly, unbidden whoops of encouragement began to accompany jonsi's every move away from the mic or vocal flourish, growing in confidence and intensity as the set progressed. this is going well i thought, standing next to sound man jelle weaving his usual sonic magic, whatever the size, shape and construction of the venue.
and then at what we presume was a pre-ordained point in around us – the moment where the band flip from the acoustic piano-led version to the full-on club-banger rendition – most everyone in the crowd started launching paper airplanes towards the stage. there seemed to be an endless supply of these slowly accreting on the stage in an origamic drift. i picked up some of the many that had fallen short and smiled at the message "sorry alex…i love your boyfriend". there were others too, printed with the "drip" motif from the artwork and snatches of lyrics, and all in a variety of colours. there was even one huge one, maybe close on a metre long, that made it to jonsi's feet only for him to hurl it inelegantly back into the crowd.
looking at one in my hands now, i can see this intervention was coordinated by the "official south korea sigur ros fan community http://cafe.naver.com/sigurrosfan", so thanks and more power to that august organisation. it was appreciated. what was especially appreciated was that every single tip of every single plane had been carefully folded under and backwards to avoid the danger of having thousands of sharp, albeit paper, projectiles hurtling around a confined space. this was the source of much wonder and joyfulness backstage afterwards, with the band pondering the infinite tendresse of a people unwilling to risk putting out jonsi's one remaining "good eye". or maybe korea's just become a risk-averse, litigious nation?
and it's not as if that was the end of it, no siree. from then on the whole gig was ramped up to another level, the party atmosphere culminating in grow till tall when crate loads of confetti and spray snow were unloaded at another planned juncture. the band were clearly having trouble concentrating, with jonsi singing in the wrong mic and alex and ulfur missing notes to throw planes back into the crowd. it was all-in-all pretty special, and we are pretty sure no-one's going to manage to top it this year. i mean japan and iceland you can't do any better than that…can you?
* we found later that one fan was responsible for making all the crowns seen in the crowd so special jonsi shout out – ho-oh! – to whoever that was

Alcoholism is a serious disease which takes a toll on an individual both physically and mentally. The affliction is especially rampant around the Hollywood celebrity scene with multiple reports of alcohol binging and abuse. Whether or not you are a celebrity, if you have an alcohol problem you should consider a Malibu Alcohol Rehab Center. Here are a few signs that indicate when to seek help.
Many people like to drink, but if your drinking interferes with your ability to work or spend time with family, it is time to seek help at a Malibu Alcohol Rehab Center. If binge drinking is causing you to be late or miss work then you risk losing your job, and can do serious damage to your career. Likewise, if you are skipping family time and things that are important to you to drink, there is a serious problem. One bad night doesn't amount to a problem, but if this is occurring multiple times a week, you should consider speaking with your doctor about a support group such as Alcoholics Anonymous or, if you think the issue is more severe, a Malibu Alcohol Rehab Center.
If you've decided on having a sober night and suddenly find yourself holding a drink in your hand or, if you've decided to have one drink and are suddenly on your fifth then there is definitely a problem. Because alcoholism is a disease, it can be clinically diagnosed and it does help to talk to your doctor who then can refer you to a Malibu Alcohol Rehab Center, or a rehab center that is closer to your area.
If you are already in a support program such as Alcoholics Anonymous and still have not been able to quit drinking, it is time to seek alternative methods at a Malibu Alcohol Rehab Center.
Alcoholism is a tough disease to overcome, but with proper help and perseverance it is possible for those afflicted to lead happy and fulfilling lives without drinking.

I am going to start by saying only this: I am going to eat some serious crow on this review. When I saw the trailer for this, I thought it looked like it was going to be a terrible sequel that tried to cram too much young adult stuff in to expand the audience. In fact, I started my Pacific Rim review stating this looked terrible. The movie-going public trashed this one too, so my expectations were clearly set to see something that was garbage. Turns out, Uprising blew away my expectations, and in some ways actually exceeds the original movie.
I'm getting ahead of myself though. To start out, we are introduced to Jake Pentecost (John Boyega). Total aside, it was Boyega weekend evidently. I just watched him as Finn in The Last Jedi too. Honestly, his character was wasted in The Last Jedi, but his performance in Uprising was very good by comparison. Anyway, in the original Pacific Rim, his father was Idris Elba's character. So the lineage between films is definitely connected.
We are now ten years after the events of the first film and to recap that briefly, there were alien Kaiju (big monsters) being sent through rifts between their world and ours to attack our planet to colonize and take over. A group of Jaegers (big robots) and their pilots rose to the challenge and dumped a nuke off into the rift which stopped the invasion. So fast forward ten years and much of the damage has been repaired. There is a defense force established to fight the Kaiju should they return, but many people want their own protection and create their own Jaegers with stolen parts.
Boyega's character is actually a washout from the defense program who goes around stealing Jaegar parts for sale on the black market. During the course of a theft, he comes across someone else stealing parts and follows her back to her hideout. Turns out, this teenager built her own Jaeger and needed a power supply. And of course, they were both followed by the defense forces who engage them and eventually capture them. The story builds from there with a remote-controlled Jaeger army of robots that will put the manned Jaegers out of service and, this turns into a bit of I, Robot when those go berserk.
I was pretty surprised at how this was set up as a young adult story but didn't go the full young adult route many movies of that kind take. The kids in many young adult movies tend to end up being far superior to the adults or they have some intricate knowledge that adults simply don't have, which is great for the kiddie audience to feel empowered, but the adults tend to dismiss movies like that as trash. At least I do anyway. I certainly don't mind seeing kids prevail over hard circumstances, but the whole being superior to an older and wiser person loses me. Pleasantly though, I feel like the older and younger people in this story really worked well together. The adults were not some condescending trope, and the kids were not whiny and snot-nosed as you'd typically expect. The sense of "together we can triumph" was more the message than anyone being superior.
What about the story though? Personally, I think this continued the Pacific Rim saga in a pretty natural way. I don't want to ruin anything, but there was a connection made in the original movie that was continued in this one with, what I found to be a pretty funny story point. That leads to something I wasn't really expecting, but it all made a lot of sense though. I'm definitely a fan of whoever wrote this.
The thing I typically have an issue with is CGI, but once again some dollars were spent on making this good. Whoever rendered the first one must have been involved in this because it was most certainly not a cheap Syfy affair. In fact, after going through all the Godzilla movies, I would say this is spiritually a lot more in line with those than the original Pacific Rim. Maybe it is better stated that where that film did it's own thing, Uprising revisits the Kaiju movies of old and gives us ample destruction of Tokyo.
The big, climactic battle rages on for quite a while amidst the streets of Tokyo. Buildings are torn down and flung like battering rams. Robots and Kaiju are smashed into them. Glass and concrete fly. Where the Godzilla series had guys in rubber suits battling over cardboard and plastic miniature cities, Uprising unleashes modern CGI in all its magnificent glory. For me, this is what I want out of new Godzilla entries. Shin Godzilla was a good start, but I would love to see a renaissance of the whole series made with this kind of quality. I would also include the recent Power Rangers movie for its quality CGI, and honestly, some of the Jaegers were a bit like the Power Ranger Zords.
Going off on a bit of a tangent, I speak highly of a few other movies and their CGI usage, but I leave out the Transformer movies of recent years which are pretty similar. The CGI for Transformers isn't bad, but the movies behind them are horrible. You take something like these Pacific Rims or Shin Godzilla that combine a good story with good effects and you have my attention. Shiny graphics don't make things fun though. So where one series is disappointing, another grabs my attention. Unfortunately, the boring one gets a ton of sequels and remains popular. I digress though.
I'm going to close this glowing review out by saying Pacific Rim: Uprising really caught me off guard with how good it is. Maybe I have low expectations, maybe bad taste, or maybe both, but I don't care. I loved my time with these two movies and I would almost put Uprising just a tick above the first movie simply because of the giant battle in Tokyo. Grinding my way through the Godzilla series left me wanting a modern battle like that. Fortunately, the rest of this movie was decent as well so the big, climactic battle just tipped the scale even further. I'm scoring this one the same as I did the first entry, 4/5 stars.

Die Nordersteinstraße in Cuxhaven ist eine ca. 0,5 km lange Einkaufsstraße. Sie führt in Süd-Nord-Richtung von der Südersteinstraße bis zum Kämmererplatz sowie zur Rohdestraße, Deichstraße und Poststraße.

Nebenstraßen

Die Neben- und Anschlussstraßen wurden benannt als Südersteinstraße nach der südlichen Lage zum Stadtkern, Neustraße, nachdem nach einem Brand die Straße 1775 neu angelegt worden war, Segelckestraße nach dem Schultheißen von Groden-Ritzebüttel und Döse-Altenwalde Ferdinand Hinrich Segelcke (1834–1902), Holstenstraße 1915 nach der Region Holstein, Penzancer Platz 1983 nach der englischen Partnerstadt Penzance (früher Brunnenplatz), Kapitän-Alexander-Straße nach dem Fischdampfer-Kapitän Karl Alexander (* 1890, † 1940 im KZ Sachsenhausen), Kaemmererplatz 1909 nach dem Amtsverwalter Gustav Kaemmerer (früher Löschplatz), Rohdestraße 1906 nach dem Direktor der Staatlichen Höheren Bürgerschule Johann Diedrich Rohde (1842–1908), Deichstraße nach dem ursprünglichen Verlauf am westlichen Hafenobdeich und Poststraße (früher Feldweg) nach dem von 1905 bis 2000 ansässigen Postamt.

Geschichte

Name

Die Straße wurde benannt nach der Lage nördlich von der "Steinburg" (Schloss Ritzebüttel) oder aufgrund des Straßenverlaufs; sie führt nach Norden von der Südersteinstraße. 1755 wurde sie als Nordstrate oder Norderstrate erwähnt. Auch als Slüsenstroot, Lange Straße (1825), große Gasse oder lange große Fleckengasse fand sie Erwähnung.

Entwicklung

Nachdem 1872 Ritzebüttel und Alt-Cuxhaven vereinigt worden waren, erfolgte ein stärkerer Ausbau des Ortsgebietes. Die Nordersteinstraße zwischen dem Schloss Ritzebüttel und der Ritzebüttler Schleuse gehört zu den ältesten Straßen Cuxhavens. Im 19. Jahrhundert gab es an der Straße zahlreiche Geschäfte. 1846 wurde sie mit Klinkern gepflastert. Seit 1975 ist sie eine belebte Fußgängerzone.

Verkehrlich tangiert die Straße südlich die Buslinien 1004 und 1018 sowie nördlich die 1002, 1004, 1007, 1008, 1010, 1020, 1021, 1923, 1024 und 1027 der KVG.

Gebäude, Anlagen (Auswahl)

An der Straße stehen zumeist zwei- bis dreigeschossige traufen- und giebelständige Geschäfts- und Wohnhäuser aus allen Zeiten seit um 1900. Die mit D gekennzeichneten Häuser stehen unter Denkmalschutz.
 Wohn- und Geschäftshäuser mit Läden u. a. für Zeitschriften, Getränke, Bekleidung und Mode, Teppiche und Gardinen, Uhren und Schmuck, Telefone, Bürobedarf, Bücher, Eisen-, Fleisch-, Back-, Porzellan-, Woll- und Spielwaren, Möbel, Reinigung und Lebensmittel sowie Banken, Cafés und Restaurants.

We're always on the hunt for the perfect sweatshirt, especially one that can match workout leggings and also compliment a fancy designer skirt. While there's no shortage of amazing options out there, our latest discovery is so fantastic that you'll want it in rotation for more than a few seasons. Luckily, this sweatshirt will go longer than that, since it is guaranteed to last at least three decades.
Created by 24-year-old English designer Tom Cridland (who already has a successful eponymous clothing line), the philosophy behind The 30 Year Sweatshirt is self-explanatory. This collection of unisex crewnecks aims to break the fast fashion cycle with its unique longevity. According to Cridland's Kickstarter campaign, many fashion brands make their clothing to purposefully fall apart — this way, customers will need to buy more. Rather than participate in this cycle of consumption (called built-in obsolescence), The 30 Year Sweatshirt aims to show that well-made clothing can truly last.
Handcrafted in Portugal, each top is made from 80% organic cotton, and 20% premium polyester. This durable combination stays true to size and form (no shrinking in the dryer, and no stretching). More importantly, if your sweatshirt happens to rip or tear before 30 years, Cridland and his team will repair it for free. Also, in step with the company's transparency, The 30 Year Sweatshirt eliminates a retailer, and offers the wholesale price of $85.
With the major problems of fast fashion currently broadcast both on the big screen, and in the news, The 30 Year Sweatshirt couldn't have come at a better time to add some fair fashion to your closet. See the full campaign here.


Here is an invitation I made for my church Sunday School class get together. I thought it would be fun to have a BYOB (Bring Your Own Beef) party. If you are wanting this invite or a custom invitation for your next event contact Paper Perfection at jtanddolly@yahoo.com for pricing and details.

They may be noobs but they still deserve the joy of herb this year.
Freelance writer living in Los Angeles with her overweight chihuahua.
Whether you're all about sleek vapes, or fat blunts are your ride-or-die, we can all agree on one thing: gift shopping can be fun, or the worst. The malls are overstuffed with equally bloated and emotionally drained people, the rampant consumerism is soul-sucking, and from start to finish you have no clue what you're doing. We all know this because we've all been there.
It doesn't have to be that way. Instead of running around town searching for random junk, consider introducing your friends and family to the magic of cannabis. Thanks to an explosion of brands that cater to all types of newcomers, there's truly something for every noob on your list.
Lord Jones Edibles
Who they're for: The grandma who's into fancy everything.
Why it's the perfect gift: Whether she's expressed interest in blazing down or could use some pain relief, Lord Jones has everything your fancy grandma needs. The lush packaging might betray the products' moderate THC and CBD content, but after sampling the Lord Jones line of goods many times ourselves, we can assure you that these qualify as medicinal. From low-dose, gourmet chocolates to soothing topicals, it's not like your Nana is going to be blazed out of her noggin.
Where to get them: Lord Jones Caramels (and other goodies) can be ordered online or from select retails in California.
LEVO Oil Infuser
Who it's for: The mom who likes to bake up a storm.
Why it's the perfect gift: Sure, you could always pass your mom a joint and hope for the best, but in the long game of getting your momma (back) on the weed train, thoughtfulness is key. And in this case, thoughtfulness comes in the form of an easy-to-use, culinary oil infusion device. As we've said in the past, the LEVO is the Keurig of cannabutter, which means it's easier than ever to make cannabis infused edibles (think weed brownies, but elevated) that actually taste good. That said, if your mom's more about that spa life than baking, you can always show her how to whip up a weed-infused lavender scrub with the LEVO.
Where to get it: LEVO can be ordered online right here.
Island Premiums Pre-Rolls
Who they're for: The brother you're not-so-subtly trying to wean off cigarettes.
Why it's the perfect gift: Instead of giving your family members flak for sucking on cancer sticks, why not offer up a healthier alternative? For those who are open to trying new things but have yet to master the art of rolling a joint, Island's "Premiums" line of pre-rolls may be just the thing to try. The upgraded marijuana cigarettes look like tobacco cigarettes' identical twin, but pack all the health benefits of ganja and none of the junk that'll destroy your lungs. Los Angeles-based Island also makes a CBD Premiums product, which as your brother is now well aware, won't even get him high.
Where to get them: Island pre-rolls can be delivered via Eaze or found here.
Bark Avenue Treats
Who they're for: The aunt with the hyperactive terrier.
Why it's the perfect gift: You're a weed aficionado, so again, you already know all about the calming powers of CBD. For dog and pet owners, the cannabinoid is a secret weapon when it comes to smooth travel and relaxed evenings in with Fido. Bark Avenue's treats in particular pack a hearty dose of THC's non-psychoactive cousin into an adorable bone-shaped treat. Give it to the dog lovers in your life and reap the benefits of chillaxed pooches. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
Where to get them: Bark Avenue treats can be ordered online here.
Moonman's Mistress Cookies
Who they're for: The super healthy cousin who won't STFU about his juicing regimen (and Santa).
Why it's the perfect gift: Moonman's Mistress makes "cookies" that would be accurately described by pretty much every trendy health term you can think of. The cannabis edibles are vegan, gluten-free, organic, paleo, soy-free, and low-glycemic. They also come in a range of flavors from chocolate chip to pumpkin pecan. And with only 10mg of THC or CBD per cookie, Moonman's Mistress presents consumers and health nut cuzzos with an easy way to dip a toe in the edible game without disrupting that micronutrient regimen.
Where to get them: Moonman's Mistress Cookies can be picked up at a handful of retailers in California.
Van der Pop CLEAN Serum
Who it's for: The friend who's all about essential oils.
Why it's the perfect gift: Now that essential oils are all the rage in the beauty industry, there's a smorgasbord of oil-packed products to choose from. Van der Pop goes the extra mile with a serum that contains sunflower, grapeseed, rosehip, ylang ylang—and cannabis oil with a high-CBD content, of course. You get all of that and hydrated skin for the relatively low price of $55. As a bonus, you can pick up a bottle online and have it delivered directly to your doorstep.
Where to get it: Pick up a bottle of the Van der Pop's CLEAN serum here.
FORIA Pleasure
Who it's for: The hippie sister who gives you way too much sex advice.
Why it's the perfect gift: It's hard to find perfect gifts for the sexperts in our lives, but there's one product everyone can use, and that's lube. But why mess around with any ordinary sex lube when you can get a THC-infused lubricant that will literally give you all the feels? FORIA's Pleasure line does just that and more. If you're feeling extra generous this year, order up a batch of FORIA Awaken as well, which contains no THC but rather a blend of 8 all natural aphrodisiacs for an added kick.
Where to get it: You can order a bottle (or three) of FORIA Pleasure right here.
Breez Mints
Who it's for: The corporate, suit-wearing uncle.
Why it's the perfect gift: Until cannabis use becomes a mainstay in the workplace, we have super-subtle infused mints to keep us sane. Breez Mints are light on the marijuana iconography, heavy on mint flavor, and with only 5MG of THC are virtually the easiest way to microdose cannabis. With a barely-there hint of the herb, you might not even realize you're eating a weed mint—until it melts away your pain and anxiety, that is.
Where to get them: Breez Mints are sold all over the Golden State.
Whenever you gift THC to your loved ones, remember to also give them the low-down on how to imbibe like a reasonable person. Tell them to start small and go slowly with 5mg being a good place to start. The holidays make us crazy enough, so we don't need anyone tripping balls on Santa's lap—unless you're into that kind of thing. The goal is to stay safe, merry, and blissed out.

De Alpheüs (Grieks: Ἀλφειός, Alpheiós), tegenwoordig uitgesproken als Alfiós, met klemtoon op de -o-) is de naam van een rivier in Griekenland.

Het is de grootste rivier op de Peloponnesos, ontspringt in de nomos Arcadië in de Taigetos nabij Megalopolis, stroomt door de nomos Ilia (het oudgriekse Elis) en mondt uit in de Ionische Zee ten Westen van Olympia, nabij Epitalion. Aan zijn oevers liggen onder meer het schilderachtige stadje Karýtena en het tempeldomein van Olympia.

De Alpheüs is ca. 90 km lang en stroomt, hier en daar ondergronds, door een karstachtig gebied.
Mede door dit feit is de stroomgod Alpheüs betrokken in verscheidene mythen en sagen. Evenals ontelbare stroom- en zeegoden geldt Alpheüs als een zoon van Oceanus en Tethys. Hij vatte liefde op voor de nimf Arethusa en achtervolgde haar onder de zee door naar Sicilië, waar hij als een zoetwaterbron weer aan het aardoppervlak kwam op het eiland Ortygia bij Syracuse.
In de sagen rond Herakles bouwde deze een afdamming in de Alpheus (en de Peneos) om de Augiasstal te reinigen.

Love it or hate it (or love it and hate it), there's no denying one thing about New York City: The place knows how to do Christmas. Sparkly trees are sited pretty much everywhere you go, every restaurant and stoop is lit up and every hall decked. With less than a week until Christmas (how!?!), I'm taking the opportunity to pose in front of every green sparkly thing that I can and tote my pup around like the best present a girl could as for, because he is! How are you enjoying the holiday season?

We've been working hard on our underlying database infrastructure for the last several months in silence (mostly). Today, we're releasing the first piece of a much larger set of tools: SSD backed replica sets at both $100/mo and $500/mo price levels.
SSDs are by far the best way to run most Mongo deployments and we've been experimenting with various disk setups for a little over a year now (there are a shocking number of SSD options out there). Today's release represents the future of our hosted service: each database runs in an isolation capsule with dedicated memory, IO capacity and CPU capacity. The memory/CPU/disk resources are tuned to the most common Mongo workloads we've seen across our 50,000 hosted databases in the last three years.

29 new projects that will help 'Team Wales' tackle climate and nature emergencies
From donkeys in Snowdonia to the salmon of the River Usk and everything in between, the Welsh Government has today confirmed 29 projects across Wales that will benefit from the Nature Networks Fund.
The Nature Networks Fund was confirmed in March this year with the Welsh Government promising to invest in the 'condition and connectivity' of the protected site network, supported by the 'active involvement of local communities'.
The Minister will confirm £7m of Welsh Government support for these projects in the Senedd later today where she is expected to say: "Tackling the climate and nature emergencies is at the heart of everything we do – we must protect our environment for future generations to enjoy.
"Recognising the importance of harnessing the power of local communities, this funding will support citizen science, school engagement programmes and volunteer training to build networks of people engaged with these sites, which are cornerstones of our nature recovery work.
"We need a 'Team Wales' approach if we are to achieve our ambitious plans to restore nature. We want everyone in Wales to see nature – because if people engage with nature, they value nature."
The sites supported provide a vital sanctuary and high level of protection to nearly 70 species, and more than 50 types of habitats which face threats worldwide.
They also contribute significantly to the Welsh economy through tourism recreation, farming, fishing and forestry. And they provide vital life-support services for all of us – including purifying drinking water, and storing carbon.
National Heritage Memorial Fund has taken responsibility for administering the Nature Networks Fund, Andrew White – Director of The National Lottery Heritage Fund in Wales said:
"From restoring wetlands, to creating rich habitat for wildlife to flourish, it is vital that we preserve and rebuild our natural heritage.
"The Nature Networks scheme, in partnership with the Welsh Government, will allow projects to carry out direct conservation which is essential in protecting our biodiversity, and will also increase public awareness of how and why we need to protect our future."
Project SIARC (Sharks Inspiring Action and Research with Communities), operating in Carmarthen Bay and Tremadog Bay is just one of the projects to benefit from this announcement.
The collaborative project led by ZSL (Zoological Society of London) and Natural Resources Wales received £390,000, alongside funding from National Lottery Heritage Fund and On the EDGE Conservation, to carry out vital conservation research on Wales' marine environment with a strong focus on sharks, skates and rays.
They will use the funding to catalyse links between fishers, researchers, communities and government to help safeguard these species and support a green recovery in Wales.
Joanna Barker, Senior Project Manager at ZSL, said: "We're excited to scale up our collaboration with fishers and complete innovative research to better understand the amazing shark, skate and ray species that use two of Wales' Special Areas of Conservation.
"With several opportunities for schools and local communities to be part of Project SIARC, we hope to generate a new appreciation of the underwater environment in Wales and identify ways for a wider range of people to get involved."

One of filmmaker Raihan Halim's greatest wishes is to dispel stereotypes about Muslim women. He recalls an episode of No Reservations where Anthony Bourdain went to Iran and he met this awesome lady in a hijab who introduced him to her flat screen TV, collection of Grey's Anatomy and other modern fixtures. Muslim women are not all docile and conservative and Raihan himself has female friends who wear the hijab yet listen to punk music and watch Michael Bay movies. It is no wonder he made the movie Banting, a movie about a girl in jihab who wants to pursue her dream of becoming a professional wrestler. Kind of like a Singapore version of Bend it like Beckham.
Banting was released commercially in 2014. Distributed by mm2 Entertainment, it was the first commercial Malay film to be made and released commercially in Singapore in a very long time, since 1975 in fact. Yasmin, the protagonist is raised in a strict household, yet finds her passion in her life when she begins to secretly take professional wrestling lessons at night. She even has a wrestling pseudonym that goes by 'Zarith Blade'. Her determination and love for the sport propels her to be included in an all-female wrestling troupe trained by a tough has-been coach. However, when her disapproving mother finds out, things get challenging for Yasmin and she needs to (here comes the cliche) overcome the odds.
This movie, though simple in plot, is a feel-good comedy treat that entertains as much as it provokes. A dozen larger-than-life characters like Queen Kong, The Sisters, Pretty Baby and Killer Bride will assault your senses like wrestlers do. But what's more interesting is also a 'hijab removal' moment in the middle of a match. Overall, a good way to #supportlocal this Hari Raya.
What makes it even more timely is that Banting joins a list of Singapore films that have just been made available for purchase or rent on iTunes Singapore. This the highly commendable work of A Little Seed, a local film aggregator started by local filmmaker and founder of Mocha Chai Laboratories Chai Yee Wei. Some of the other film titles on the iTunes list include Anthony Chen's Ilo Ilo, Eric Khoo's Mee Pok Man, Boo Junfeng's Sandcastle, Ken Kwek's Unlucky Plaza and Royston Tan's 7 Letters Anthology. This is a collaboration with Objectifs Centre for Photography and Filmmaking, which did the curation. Believe or not, Ilo Ilo's DVD print has run out so this platform is a timely godsend. According to Yee Wei, A Little Seed will seek more works from with other independent filmmakers across Asia and bring to market works that deserve a continued audience.
We did an extremely candid interview with Raihan back in 2014 about his film Banting and the full interview can be viewed here. Here are some priceless excerpts from the interview.
Given the recent announcement about Raihan's win at the 2017 Hong Kong - Asia Film Financing Forum (HAF), we wonder which part of his new project 'Ban' fits into. Raihan bagged two awards at HAF for La Luna, a comedy film about a young woman who owns a lingerie shop in a very austere Muslim region that still clings to its antiquated traditions. He took home the Wouter Barendrecht Award and the White Light Post-Production Award (HAF Project). Sounds like some lunacy and lots of fun! We can't wait.


Campfire, HipChat and other group chat platforms are popular with distributed work teams because of the ability to communicate in real time via a web browser or mobile app. Cotap, a free iPhone app that launched Tuesday, takes a different tack by forgoing the browser element, opting instead to be a simple group texting app for work that you use primarily on your phone.
"We want to be actually easier than texting," says Cotap CEO Jim Patterson, a former Yammer executive with a background in mobile communication and enterprise software.
CoTap keeps work teams in contact from any location.
Patteron notes that while other platforms have focused on creating rooms or groups as well as sharing files, most business communication platforms don't focus first on mobile.
Unlike consumer mobile messaging apps such as GroupMe, that require you to manually create groups and add contacts, Cotap scans your phone's address book for anyone with the same work email domain as you, using those addresses to automatically populate your company's address book inside Cotap. As a result, the next person from yourcompanydomain.com to start using Cotap will have one-tap texting access to not only the company email domains in his own address book but also the ones imported into Cotap by anyone else who uses the same work domain, as well as anyone whose email address is associated with a meeting scheduled with Cotap.
Cotap users will receive push notifications on their iPhone's lock screen every time a Cotap message comes in and will also see all the messages associated with groups they're included in within the app. Those who don't have the Cotap app will see the messages as an email thread. The advantage of Cotap is that co-workers can message each other's phones without needing their cell phone numbers, which not everyone wants to share with office mates.
The app is free for employees to use, and Patterson says the company plans to make money at some point by selling premium features to enterprises.
A couple of minor caveats: Folks who use consumer email platforms such as Gmail or Yahoo can't use Cotap, and it's not launching out of the box with an Android variant. Patterson says one is in the works and should be ready within a few months.

Crews continue work Sunday on the Wrigley Building's terra-cotta exterior as the construction barricades blocking access to the plaza between the landmark's north and south towers are removed.
Construction barricades have been taken down at the Wrigley Building's plaza as renovation work proceeds at the iconic skyscraper.
The barricades were erected about a year ago in preparation for an architectural revamp of the city-owned plaza, which offers a pedestrian route from Michigan Avenue to Wabash Avenue over North Water Street between the building's north and south towers.
The redesign includes a full restoration of the exterior terra cotta, upscale retail storefronts, granite flooring and decorative lighting.
The $2 million plaza revamp, paid for by the building's owners under an agreement with the city, is part of a $70 million renovation of the nearly 90-year-old building at 400-410 N. Michigan Ave. The project is expected to be complete by the end of the summer.
Wm. Wrigley Jr. Co., the building's longtime owner, sold the skyscraper in September 2011 to a consortium led by investment firm BDT Capital Partners, and including Groupon co-founders Eric Lefkofsky and Brad Keywell. The City Council granted the building official landmark status last summer.


The neutral two-tone coloring on this woven raffia is equal parts subtle and eye-catching. Wear them with everything from an LBD to a colorful caftan.
A pair of buttery leather slip-ons meld the everyday sneaker with the men's Oxford—and with a pointed toe, you get a little girliness in the mix, too.
This sneaker/bootie crossover makes for a seamless work-to-weekend transition. The rubber heel is a cool and casual twist on the otherwise traditional chukka boot and the ocelot print packs a stylish punch.
Glossy navy leather makes these high tops dressy enough for the office, while the retro style works effortlessly with any off-duty outfit.
Put a spring in your step—literally. These ultra-light, cushioned sneakers provide the comfort and support of a trainer with the sleek style of an everyday shoe. Pair with some tailored culottes or a fitted pencil skirt for a new take on office wear.
These leather and mesh mashups will steal all the attention—so pair them with a monochromatic look for the biggest impact.
The stylish slip-on set the precedent for "fancy" sneakers, and this pair adds a dash of femininity with shiny patent leather and a big bow. Sporty never looked so sweet.
These low-profile lace-ups are worth the splurge—they pair perfectly with just about everything and the stars add a playful touch to an otherwise simple shoe.
These solid sneakers can pair with jeans just as easily as a pleated, midi skirt.
Think of these as a clean canvas—the perfect finish for brights, neutrals, and everything in between.

Fujitsu (Thailand) Co., Ltd., led by Ms. Jarunya Imtanasan, Director, and the staff of the Scanner Product Group, recently launched the 3rd Fujitsu Scanner Charity Project aiming to "improve school libraries and donate teaching supplies" under a five-year plan to ten schools in rural areas. On this occasion Fujitsu provided support to Ban Bo Yang Child Development Center in Chanthaburi Province, which takes care of around 40 underprivileged children aged 2-4 years old. The company offered lunch to the children and donated books and teaching supplies to help improve their learning capabilities. Miss Anchalee Jamjang, Chief Executive of Thung Kanan Subdistrict Administrative Organization and teachers and students from the center were on hand to receive donations and have their pictures taken with Fujitsu staff.


It's no secret that influencer marketing has one of the highest return on investments, especially when compared to TV, print, or Adwords. But it's also one of the hardest forms of advertising to be successful at — while you can use tools like Influential or Maker Studios to help reach influencers, the costs are significantly lower if you have the tools and expertise to discover organic influencers independently.
Finding influencers on your own can seem daunting, but it is made easier with various tools; the best approach, as with anything else, is data driven. That includes using tools like Demographics Pro to analyze an influential accounts audience and determine if the demographics match your audience profile.
It's also important to make sure you're influencer reaches real people; tools like FollowerCheck can help to make sure that the account has an actual audience.
Once you'd identified influencers you wish to leverage, the next step is content creation. Think about what type of content would appeal to the influencer's audience while still promoting your organization. Video (with subtitles) tends to be the best type of content for earning interactions, but if that's too much of a commitment, make sure to have some quality images lined up.
Datanyze Insider offers more than just contact information; in reality it's a full prospecting and acquisition tool, complete with a browser extension.
While not free, the tool comes with some free credits upon sign-up to get acclimated and gain some value.
A favorite for connecting with journalists, PressRush allows you to easily (and affordably) discover the email addresses of prominent writers, much more affordably than competitors like Meltwater. You can search either by individual journalist or by topic, and if PressRush doesn't yet know the email address, you can request they discover it.
Clearbit is a chrome gmail extension, so it lives right within your email making it extraordinarily convenience. It also comes with forty free searches per-month, so it's great if you don't need to do too much snooping. By clicking the Clearbit button in your gmail account and entering the name of the person you want to pitch, you can easily find their address.
Clearbit also comes with a plethora of additional information about the contact and their organization.
Email Hunter allows you to discover email addresses in bulk using just the domain name — quickly and easily get a full list of all (publicly available) emails of employees at just about any company — it also comes with 150 searches per-month at no cost.
It also offers a chrome extension for faster searching.

Share, or store cabinets, happen to be what you see if you go to a big home improvement store. Each store will certainly typically have a very basic, unfinished cabinet line that is stacked in store and ready to purchase and take home that day. These are generally usually your cheapest option, but selections are very limited. Generally these will need to be finished either by you or by a contractor. Don't expect anything at all spectacular, these are usually cabinetry in their most basic form. Compartment fronts are typically made from glued up strips of wooden instead of one single piece of real wood. Doors are usually paneled doorways instead of raised wood plank doors. The carcasses in the cabinets will typically be cut from particle mother board, and if there is a back panel it is usually 1/8 inch hard-board. Countertop fastening brackets will be small , plastic corner conference with a single screw opening for attaching to the front desk.

The Rockefellers take on Exxon
Fighting Over A Dynasty's Soul
June 22, 2017 • Ian T. Shearn
David Rockefeller, the last surviving grandson of John D. Rockefeller, was laid to rest during the first week of April in Westchester, N.Y., after a private funeral. He was 101. His obituaries extolled his banking career, his global accomplishments and, of course, his wealth. Most likely the last high-profile member of one of America's most fabled families, the former chairman and chief executive of Chase Manhattan bank exerted influence in the corridors of power around the world.
But David Rockefeller's lasting legacy may well be more about philanthropy than his business and geopolitical exploits. He gave $1.8 billion to charity, according to Seitel, more than any of his brothers—John, Nelson, Winthrop or Laurance.
Some of that philanthropy, however, has fomented a family insurrection and led to a fierce and very public battle with ExxonMobil, the direct descendant of John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company. At the center of this skirmish are two family charities: the Rockefeller Family Fund, created in 1967 by David and his siblings to encourage their grandchildren to become involved in philanthropy, and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, created in 1940 by David and his four brothers. The research and reporting financed by these two funds led to groundbreaking reports in 2015 that ExxonMobil knew decades ago, from its own research, of the causal connection between the consumption of fossil fuels and climate change.

Q: Dynamically creating buttons in javascript using for loop, and assigning properties. I am trying to use the below code to add buttons into the body of my page, the buttons appear, but none of the attributes display, it is a default button with no increase in size with font size, no text displayed, and no color.

function createKeyboard()
 {
    var str = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
    for(var i=0; i<str.length; i++)
    {
     var nextChar = str.charAt(i);
     var btn = document.createElement("BUTTON");
     btn.setAttribute("id","btn"+nextChar);
     btn.setAttribute("innerHtml",nextChar);
     btn.setAttribute("value",nextChar);
     btn.setAttribute("text",nextChar);
     btn.setAttribute("font-size","14px");
     btn.setAttribute("background-color","#4CAF50");
     document.body.appendChild(btn);
     }
    };

When looking at the buttons using the console I can see the attributes are there, as shown below:

    <button id="btnA" innerhtml="A" value="A" text="A" font-size="14px"        background-color="#4CAF50"></button>

Not sure where I am going wrong here, any ideas?
-Thanks

A: Everything is not an attribute, specially innerHTML.
btn.setAttribute("style","font-size:14px;background-color: #4CAF50");
btn.innerHTML = "A"

A: *

*The attributes "font-size" and "background-color" need to be in style="font-size:14px; background-color:#4CAF50;"

*innerHTML make sure the HTML is caps

*I'm not sure that "text" is a valid attribute for button

Did that fix anything? You're using quite a bunch of attributes that I'm pretty sure aren't valid.
EDIT: +1 Xufox's comment. Here is more on that:
For what you need to do, you'll need to have an understanding:

*

*HTML attributes

*

*Most common are id, class, href, src, style < Usually fellow developers like it better when you create a class and assign style to it via css. This is where your code btn.setAttribute("id","btn"+nextChar); works. Here is a link that goes over them a bit more: http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_attributes.asp

*HTML DOM nodes (nodes have properties <- what xufox was referring to.)

*

*When the browser renders your HTML, it registers each element

example element
 as a node that can be manipulated.
Some common node properties are: innerHTML, style, id... notice the overlap? Yep, Editing element properties is easy with DOM node property manipulation. btn.innerHTML = 'Wow, this is easy!';
Conclusion: Try this, post any further questions
function createKeyboard()
{
   var str = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
   for(var i=0; i<str.length; i++)
   {
    var nextChar = str.charAt(i);
    var btn = document.createElement("BUTTON");
    btn.id = 'btn' + nextChar;
    btn.innerHTML = nextChar;
    btn.setAttribute("value", nextChar);
    btn.setAttribute("text",nextChar);
    btn.style.fontSize = "14px";
    btn.style.backgroundColor = '#4CAF50';
    document.body.appendChild(btn);
    }
};

Even better than btn.style edits would be to add a class that was styled using css. But for the purpose of this conversation, I'll end it there.

A: You might want to check this out. Just made it.

FRIDAY, Nov. 22, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval for the anti-cancer drug Nexavar (sorafenib) has been expanded to include late-stage differentiated thyroid cancer, the most common type of thyroid cancer.
In a Friday news release about the approval, the agency said thyroid cancer will be diagnosed in an estimated 60,220 Americans this year, and an estimated 1,850 will die from the disease.
Nexavar is designed to inhibit proteins that prompt cancer cells to divide and grow. The new approval is meant for people with differentiated thyroid cancer that no longer responds to radioactive iodine treatment.
The drug was approved for this new use based on clinical studies involving 417 people whose thyroid cancer did not respond to treatment. The drug increased the time recipients lived without cancer progression by about 41 percent compared to those who took a placebo, the FDA said.
The most common side effects of Nexavar included diarrhea, fatigue, infection, hair loss, skin reactions, weight loss, loss of appetite, abdominal pain and high blood pressure. The agency also warned that increased production of thyroid stimulating hormone -- a potential promoter of thyroid cancer -- was possible among the drug's users.
Nexavar was FDA-approved to treat advanced kidney cancer in 2005, followed by approval to treat advanced liver cancer in 2007, the agency said.

John M. Falcone (January 21, 1967 – February 18, 2011) was a police officer in Poughkeepsie, New York, and was the first officer killed in the line of duty in the city of Poughkeepsie.

Biography
John M. Falcone was born on January 21, 1967, in Brooklyn, New York, to John and Margaret Falcone. He has one sister, Victoria Fiorisi. He worked 18 years for the City of Poughkeepsie Police Department and 20 years on the job. Falcone lived in Milton, New York, and grew up in Putnam County, New York, where his parents still live.

Death
Officer John Falcone was shot with his service weapon while he was attempting physically subdue Lee Welch (who was killed with a self-inflicted gunshot during a struggle with Officer Thomas Matthews), who had just shot and killed his wife, Jessica Welch.

Memorials

Roadway Renamed
On February 21, 2012, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) granted permission to the City of Poughkeepsie Police Benevolent Association to rename Railroad Avenue to Detective John Falcone Memorial Avenue. The private roadway is owned and operated by the MTA and is the site where Falcone's death occurred.

Highway Renamed
On April 29, 2014, a 2-mile section of U.S. Route 9 was approved legislation by The Senate Transportation Committee to be designated the John M. Falcone Memorial Highway. The highway is a major thoroughfare in and out of the City of Poughkeepsie.

On August 1, 2014, the section of highway in Dutchess County, NY was officially named in honor of City of Poughkeepsie Police Officer John Falcone by New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo. A portion of the roadway on U.S. Route 9 was designated as the "Detective John M. Falcone Memorial Highway" after Falcone, an 18-year police veteran was killed in the line of duty while trying to protect a three-year-old girl in 2011.

Annual Detective John M. Falcone Memorial Ride
The New York State Supreme Court Officers Association as well as the City of Poughkeepsie Benevolent Association holds an annual memorial motorcycle ride in honor of the slain police officer.

Each year hundreds of riders participate in the event including law enforcement, local riders and motorcycle clubs. The ride was created to honor a courageous man and local hero who made the ultimate sacrifice while in the line of duty while trying to save the life of a three-year-old girl.

Trademarks and Generic Terms in a Domain Name
The Rolf Institute of Structural Integration v. Specked Films
FORUM Case, Claim Number: FA1904001840729
It is often the case that panels are quick to find in favour of the complainant when the complaint is uncontested, provided that complainants provide substantive evidence under all three elements of the UDRP.
The following case is an example of the UDRP in action, and reiterates that panels will accept that a disputed domain name featuring the complainant's trademark with addition of a generic word is confusingly similar to the purposes of the policy.
The case in question concerns an esoteric form of alternative medicine called rolfing, based on the principle that human "energy fields" can benefit from alignment with the earth's gravitational fields[1]. The complainant, seemingly the guardians of this type of one hit cure all brought a case to the UDRP when it discovered that that the respondent was using the disputed domain name <sexyrolfing.com> in a seeming attempt to spice up our chakras, but diverting business away from the complainant.
"Rolfers make a life study of relating bodies and their fields to the earth and its gravity field"[2]
Although the respondent did not respond to the claim, the complainant still had to prove all three elements of the UDRP.
Given that the complainant held a trademark for the term ROLFING, the panel had no issues finding that the disputed domain name was confusingly similar to the complainant's mark, given that, as outlined in para 3.0 of the WIPO Overview, "cases where a domain name incorporates the entirety of a trademark … normally [are considered] considered confusingly similar to that mark."
With regards to the second and third elements of the policy, the complainant drew the panel's attention to the respondent's use of the website, which was to primarily sell both competing and unrelated goods.
Ultimately, this was enough for the panel to find the following:
A respondent's use of a disputed domain name to divert internet users, causing the belief that some sort of affiliation exists between it and Complainant, is neither a bona fide offering of goods or services under Policy ¶ 4(c)(i) nor a legitimate non-commercial or fair use under Policy ¶ 4(c)(iii).
As such, the complaint was successful, and the domain transferred to the complainant. There is no great magic in the decision, except that it is a good little case for illustration, where a generic term has been added to the trademark and the domain name is used to promote competing services.
