• Meet your vendors: Carole Knuth and Peter Apathy of Reindeer Redhots
Peter Apathy, second from left, and Carole Knuth, third from left, of Reindeer Redhots won the Table of the Day Award for the Aug. 26, 2013, Sitka Farmers Market.
(This is part of a new series of "Meet your vendors" articles, where Sitka Local Foods Network Intern McLane Ritzel is writing features about our regular Sitka Farmers Market vendors.)
Nine years ago, Carole Knuth, co-owner and operator of Reindeer Redhots, was having a mid-life crisis. So, she and her husband, Peter Apathy, decided to do something totally different than anything they had done in the past. They bought the Reindeer Redhots stand, a business that had been in operation for one year. At the time, they had two young children, who Carole says thrived in the Reindeer Redhots working environment. "It was important for the children to experience." Other kids in the community also participated in operating the business, and according to Carole, the experience taught the kids work ethic and good conversation skills. Carol says, "The business served other needs too."
Reindeer Redhots serves hotdogs with reindeer meat and a wide variety of condiments including; sauerkraut, onion, shredded cheddar cheese, ketchup, mustard, no-bean chili, sweet relish, and sriracha sauce. The meat comes from Nunivak Island, where Dr. Sheldon Jackson started a reindeer herd in the 1800s. After the slaughtering on Nunivak, the reindeer meat is sold for processing in Anchorage, where it is produced into a wide variety of products. Reindeer Redhots sells the regular reindeer hotdogs and the mild Polish sausage at their stand. Carole and Peter have dealt with many obstacles in operating their own business, and Carole says that they have "learned a lot about people through the process."
Today, the dynamic Knuth and Apathy duo run the Reindeer Redhots stand with their son Ryan, who just finished high school. You may have noticed Ryan's involvement and talent shine in performances around Sitka. Ryan just graduated from the Interlochen Center of the Arts, a competitive arts boarding school in Interlochen, Mich. He also plays the trombone, and is attending the University of Puget Sound this fall. His older sister, Erika, also comes from an artistic background, as a ballet dancer. She currently is studying elementary education at UAS, and just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy named Noah.
Both Carole and Peter are heavily involved in their children's lives and activities. They are a family that values and supports the arts in many capacities. Carole made costumes for the Nutcracker this past year and has made costumes for other performances around Sitka. She also loves gardening and the family has their own garden at home. As if all of this hasn't kept her busy enough, she just finished her master's thesis in public health, which covered a needs assessment for an adult day center in Sitka. She is interested in implementing a kind of senior center in town that offers social and physical activities. When they aren't serving up delicious hotdogs, supporting their children, or helping out the community, Carole and Peter can be found working at SEARHC. Carole as a physician assistant, and Peter as a electronic health records project manager. Peter also plays bass in the bands Slack Tide and Fishing For Cats.
Reindeer Redhots has created quite a following. The alternative hotdog stand has been featured in high-quality public relations outlets including: Food and Wine, Costco, and Sunset magazines. In addition to the stand's occasional appearances at the Sitka Farmers Market, on large ship days, you can find Carole, Peter, or Ryan serving Reindeer Redhots at the corner of Lake and Lincoln Streets. The stand operates from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., from May to September, though the operation is very weather-dependent.
Stop by the Reindeer Redhots stand this month on large ship days to try a steaming reindeer hotdog. They also offer gluten-free and whole wheat buns.

Panania is situated in the south-west region of Sydney and is on the whole, a more residential suburb. The area has its own railway station and is also serviced by buses in some areas. The housing in the past was mainly bungalows built of asbestos but now there are several larger houses and storeyed flats.
As it is a rural suburb, it is much more peaceful than the surrounding metropolitan areas. The shopping centre is right next to the railway station. It also has governmental facilities, a hotel, a public library, and a centre for senior citizens.


After a further analysis of the morning data and with looks at the short-range models, the outlook for tomorrow's expected snowfall has become more narrowly focused. Some adjustments seem necessary to me. So here're my latest thoughts.
Most models are speeding up the timing on the snowfall. Light snow now looks like it'll start during rush hour, probably around 8-9 A.M. It should be light enough that only a few problems with the roads will occur during the morning rush. Heaviest snow should fall between 10 A.M to 1 P.M., then diminish before the evening rush hour. Treated roads should be in good shape for the evening commute while untreated roads are likely to be an icy mess.
NOTE: A couple of models are developing a secondary system (behind the main snow-maker) that could create another round of light snow/flurries tomorrow evening (7-9 P.M.). If it develops, little, if any, accumulation should result. Probably just a dusting, or so.
Tough call. With the very cold air, snow tends to "fluff" quite a bit. So, a little bit of water can add up to a lot of snow. On the other hand, with the majority of the snow falling during the day, it tends not to accumulate as much on the roadways. With those ideas in mind, it should seem almost as though we'll see two different snowfalls – one on the grassy areas and another on the roads.
First, the grassy areas – the Louisville area is in line for 1″ – 2″ of snow. Parts of southern Indiana, especially west of I-65, could see a very fluffy 3″-4″. The most recent model runs are showing a stronger emphasis for snow south of Louisville. Looks like the southern half of KY may end with the highest totals, especially south of I-64 and east of I-65. I wouldn't be surprised to see E-town, Bowling Green, Lexington and London reach 3″-5″ of snow by tomorrow night.
Second, the roads. In the Louisville area the treated roads should be easily passable throughout the snow. With brine today and salt tomorrow, there shouldn't be many problems. However, the untreated roads will offer plenty of thrills for area drivers. Snow accumulations on the untreated roads will average around one inch – plenty of snow/ice to produce numerous fender benders.
Outside of the Louisville area, travel should be pretty slow on most roads, especially the untreated ones.

My mom turned 71 today. We did a video call with my dad last night (because Taiwan is a day ahead) and sang happy birthday to her. I'm not sure she had any awareness of us, though, so it wasn't exactly an uplifting moment.
Anyway, people have been asking how she's doing, so I figured I'd post an update. It's now been 92 days since she went into cardiac arrest. And at this point, she's no longer in a coma.
I learned last night that her current condition can best be described as a persistent vegetative state. It's an official medical condition, and if you really want to know about it, Wikipedia has a pretty detailed explanation.
When someone is in a persistent vegetative state, they open their eyes and make facial expressions and look like they're awake, or at least kind of sort of awake. But then, they just kind of stare off into the distance and remain that way for hours at a time, not responding at anyone or anything. It's unsettling. Technically speaking, she's awake. But there's no indication that she's actually conscious or aware of anything. And that only makes it harder to accept where she is.
The stats are clear, though. The longer someone remains in a persistent vegetative state, the higher the likelihood they'll never progress beyond that. And even if they do eventually regain consciousness, they exhibit significant disability.
And so, with each day that goes by, I feel a tiny sliver of hope vanishing. I'm not sure how deep my pool of hope runs, but … I guess I'll find out.
If you see me, there's no need to ask about my mom. Because if there's any positive news we get about her, believe me, the world will know.
At this point, I just need to get on with my life. And the best way I'm finding for doing that is just to stay busy and stay distracted. I appreciate the offers I've gotten from those of you wanting to be supportive, but no, talking about my mom doesn't help. Because there is literally nothing for me — for any of us — to do.
If you do want to help, let's do something exciting together. Or let's chat about something fun and lighthearted. Hell, I'll even get into a political debate with you … if you want to lose.
Oh, and maybe wish my mom a happy birthday in your thoughts. I know she would appreciate that. She'd never say so out loud, because she's stoic and reserved in that way, and because … well, she's in a persistent vegetative state.
But I can 100% assure you that she would appreciate it … if she weren't in a persistent vegetative state.
February 2018: This may turn out to be our last family photo. It still cracks me up, and I think I could be happy ending on this one.

Virginia Pol Loses Party Position
By Joel Roberts
March 11, 2003 / 11:09 AM / CBS
Virginia Congressman Jim Moran - who said last week that the "strong support of the Jewish community" was pushing the United States toward war in Iraq - has been forced to give up his Democratic leadership position as regional whip, reports CBS News Radio.
House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi asked Moran to step down, calling his remarks "irresponsible", "inappropriate" and "offensive" In a statement, Pelosi said she spoke to Moran on Friday and he agreed to accept responsibility and give up his post.
"I have taken this action because Congressman Moran's irresponsible remarks were a serious mistake," Pelosi said. "As I said earlier this week, his comments were not only inappropriate, they were offensive and have no place in the Democratic Party."
Speaking at a northern Virginia forum a week ago, Moran said that "if it were not for the strong support of the Jewish community for this war with Iraq we would not be doing this. ... The leaders of the Jewish community are influential enough that they could change the direction of where this is going and I think they should."
Moran apologized for his comments on Tuesday. The seven-term lawmaker said he framed his comments as he did because he was responding to a questioner who said she was Jewish. "I regret doing that," he said.
Moran on Friday issued a statement saying he was stepping down from his leadership position "as a way to demonstrate acceptance of my responsibility for insensitive remarks I recently made."
"I will continue to reach out to the Jewish community and others who were offended by my remarks," he said. "Most importantly, I will strive to learn from my mistakes and listen to the concerns of my constituents."
Moran's controversial remarks drew sharp criticism from the White House and calls from some Jewish leaders for his resignation. Six House Democrats, all Jewish, on Wednesday made public a letter stating that Moran should not seek re-election in 2004 because of his comments.
The House's lone Jewish Republican, Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia, on Wednesday urged Democratic leaders to remove Moran from the two powerful committees, Appropriations and Budget, where he holds seats.
The House Democrats have 24 regional whips for 12 regions. Moran was elected by his colleagues three years ago to represent the mid-Atlantic region.
The whips are responsible for getting information on legislation out to people in their area and informing the leadership of the positions of members. The whips also sit on the party steering committee.

Erie is a ghost town located in the West Kootenay region of British Columbia. Erie is located eight miles west of Salmo, southwest of Nelson. The town of Erie was originally known as North Fork. Erie was founded in the 1860s when prospectors discovered gold in a canyon on a stream called North Fork Creek. North Fork Creek is now called Erie Creek. A mineshaft was bored up on the mountain at the Arlington claim and removed ore for several years.  Cabins and bunkhouses were built about 1897 on the mountain. The Second Relief claim was formed later and worked too. One miner was named Gillam [who incidentally was the grandfather to singer Michelle Phillips.]

The Great Northern Railway, working locally as the Nelson and Fort Sheppard Railway, built a line and siding--Erie Siding-- to load the ore at the foot of the mountain. The mines only ran for a dozen years when the majority of mining activity moved to Ymir and Sheep Creek areas. Mining continued sporadically in the years thereafter.

The town of Erie declined and moved into lumbering and homesteading when other towns such as Ymir and Salmo became more metallurgically prominent.
Today there is a motel and cafe at the location.

Royal Caribbean Cancels Three Oasis of the Seas Sailings After Crane Accident
by Jessica Montevago / April 03, 2019
Oasis of the Seas was undergoing a bow-to-stern transformation, as part of the "Royal Amplified" fleet renovation project.
After a crane damaged Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas, the cruise line said it has canceled the ship's April 7, 14, and 21 sailings out of Port Canaveral in order to complete the interrupted dry dock.
Oasis of the Seas suffered damages to the Aqua Theatre and some suites when a construction crane fell onto the ship in Grand Bahama shipyard on Monday. The 5,400-passenger vessel was undergoing a bow-to-stern transformation, as part of the "Royal Amplified" fleet renovation project.
Guests on the three sailings will receive full refunds, as well as full credit toward a future cruise, Royal Caribbean told Travel Market Report.
In a message to passengers, the cruise line also said passengers will be reimbursed for non-refundable airline change fees, up to $200 per guest for domestic flights and up to $400 per guest for international flights. All pre-paid amenities, packages, and shore excursions will be refunded as well.
Oasis of the Seas will head from the shipyard in Freeport, Bahamas to be serviced at facilities in Cadiz, Spain. It will then resume her scheduled itineraries, beginning with the May 5 sailing from Barcelona.

Q: Parent div doesn't auto set height to child div in photoslide I need to make a website with a slideshow on the front page 100% width on the wrapper. The problem is that when I resize my window, the image resizes but the container height doesn't. The container doesn't change to the content inside and it overlaps with the other code because the container height is 0.

Turlock schools climb up education ladder, still work to do
State assessments reveal that students at nearly all Turlock Unified School District schools are improving significantly as far as meeting or exceeding state averages in English-language arts, mathematics, science and history/ social science. - photo by Journal file photo
The Turlock Unified School District is showing serious signs of improvement, but lots of work remains to be done.
Yesterday the TUSD released the annual School Accountability Report Card (SARC), a summary of testing and demographic information about district schools. The SARC is mandated by the state and federal governments and basically serves as an update on how schools are progressing toward certain academic achievement goals.
State assessments reveal that students at nearly all schools are improving significantly as far as meeting or exceeding state averages in English-language arts, mathematics, science and history/ social science. However, of all 15 school sites in TUSD, only Walnut Education Center, Sandra Tovar Medeiros Elementary, Marvin Dutcher Middle and Julien Elementary beat state averages in all categories applicable to those schools. This reveals work still needs to be done for TUSD schools.
"With our initiatives in place we are positive we will continue to see positive growth," said Laurie Harrington, director of assessment and accountability for TUSD.
A measuring stick for academic progress is the Academic Performance Index, which is mandated by the California Department of Education. The API is a comparison of Turlock schools to other schools in the state, factoring in important academic indicators of success such as graduation rates and assessments in English/ language arts and mathematics. All but three schools in TUSD had outstanding growth in performance, with Wakefield Elementary leading the way with a 58 point jump, followed by Julien and Earl elementary schools, which both had 40 plus point jumps. Despite the large jumps, TUSD overall remains in Federal Intervention Program, also known as "program improvement."
The federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act (formerly known as No Child Left Behind) requires that all schools and districts meet an adequate yearly progress (AYP). The AYP is a federal measuring stick based on certain criteria such as the percent of students proficient or advanced in assessment testing, such as STAR, graduation rate and the API. The district continues to remain in program improvement because test scores in English and math for English-language learners continues to lag behind the acceptable percent of students testing at proficient or advanced.
Overall, the district is now in its fourth year of program improvement and thus far the improving scores speak for themselves, but the beat goes on; still work to do.
"I feel confident our achievements will continue. There is evidence in the classroom, bench mark scores for this year show a double digit growth ahead of last year," said Lacrisha Ferriera, TUSD assistant superintendent for educational services. Bench mark scores are quarterly scores conducted by schools to gage and predict where improvements are being made and where weaknesses may lay. "I am predicting we will continue to see growth this year and year after year," said Ferriera, who credits teachers for the district-wide improvements. "We knew we (administration) need to support our teachers and their training in lesson delivery, checking for student understanding and how students learn," she said.
At the high school level the graduation rate remained fairly steady for the third straight year (ending in 2008-09) and the school district had an 83.1 percent graduation rate, compared to the state average of 78.4. Overall, 10th grade students at TUSD high schools improved in the California High School Exit Exam, jumping up from 48.4 in 2008-09 to 53.5 percent of students scoring at proficient or advanced levels in English for 2009-10. The state average for English is 54 percent. In mathematics, overall student scores jumped from 43.9 to 48 percent. The state average is 53.4 percent. Of note, Pitman High scored a 10 percent increase from 50.4 percent to 60 percent in English.
The SARC reports for 2009-2010 are posted online at the TUSD web page.

Bree Heritage
The history of Bree, Co. Wexford
Archaeology sites
by colmwexford April 11, 201512:21 pm January 31, 2017
The medieval church at Ballybrennan, Bree, Co. Wexford
In the shadow of Bree Hill lies the small and ancient cemetery of Ballybrennan (location). It currently presents as a grass covered graveyard with the much degraded remains of a stone-built church near its centre (RMP 031-007). There is at least one decorated medieval grave-slab, located in the north-eastern corner of the graveyard, along with a number of small stone crosses of indeterminate date. The churchyard also has a fine collection of mid-to-late eighteenth century grave slabs. The graveyard has obviously been used as a burial ground for a very long time as its ground surface is considerably higher than the surrounding fields. This height difference is a result of the sheer number of people who have been buried here over the centuries. These interments include at least six priests with the earliest decipherable headstone being that of Father Robert Sutton from Ballyhogue who died in 1733 (Shiel 1921, 115).
During the medieval period (c. 1169-1540 AD) the church at Ballybrennan formed the focal point of the now defunct parish of Kilcowanmore (St. Cuan's big church). This parish encompassed the modern day townlands of Ballybrittas, Raheenahoon, Ballybrennan, Curraghnabola, Carrigunane, Tomfarney and Sparrowsland. The church was a possession of the Knights Hospitallers whose priory was located just a short distance away at Ballyhogue.
The western gable of the ruined medieval church
The Hospitallers were a religious order of knights whose origins lay in the holy land where they protected pilgrims and fought the Saracens (Muslims). In Ireland they were entrusted with defending the Anglo-Norman colony from Irish attacks. Kilcowanmore was granted to the Hospitallers by the Keating family and in 1348 Fra (Brother) John Longport of Baliscaok (Ballyhogue) was in receipt of the church's tithes (Byrne 2007, 259). The Knights also owned property around the church, which they let to lay tenants. For example in 1338 they rented land at Kilcowanmore to Thomas de Sautes, while lands at Rathnegwe (Raheenahoon) and Ballysleve (location uncertain) were also granted to Walter Furlong (ibid).
18th century headstone, Andrew Doyle, died 1784
The church at Ballybrennan is dedicated to St. Cuan and there is an associated holy well that lies roughly 75m to the southweat of the graveyard. The well, which was incorporated into a grotto dedicated to the Virgin Mary in the 1950s, was an important place of pilgrimage right up until the 1840s when it was visited annually on the 3rd of February (Culleton 1999, 207) or 'St Coouan's day'.
Votive alcove above St. Cuan's well
The Saint Cuan venerated at Ballybrennan appears to be St. Cuanan Glinne of Moville in Co. Down, as both the Martryologies of Tallaght and Donegal describe his feast day as the 3rd of February. He became abbot of Moville monastery sometime after 731 AD and this is where he died in either 742 AD (Annals of Four Masters) or 746 AD (Annals of Ulster). Little is known of his early life or where he was born, but is likely that he founded the church at Ballybrennan before he became abbot of Moville. This would suggest an early 8th century AD date for the church's foundation. Saint Cuan has a strong association with Bree parish as there is also a church site in Barmoney townland, which is dedicated to him (Kilcowanbeg, RMP 031-038).
18th century headstone, William Staford, died 1788
The graveyard has a large number of fine 18th century headstones including a number belonging to people killed during the 1798 rising. The latter include the badly worn tombstone of Charles Vero of Ballybrennan house, a local magistrate who was killed by the rebels in Enniscorthy.
Charles Vero's tomb
Just to note that on the 1st edition Ordnance Survey Map of c. 1841 there is a suggestion that the church at Ballybrennan may have originally been enclosed by a large circular enclosure. On the map below only the western side of the enclosure survives in the form of a curving field boundary and watercourse, the remainder having being destroyed in antiquity. Circular enclosures such as this are typical of Early Christian sites and it again suggests an early date for Ballybrennan's/Kilcowanmore's foundation
Possible enclosure on 1st edition O.S. Mapping (c.1841) (image © O.S.I.)
The text below is a late 19th century legend about Ballybrennan church that first appeared in the Wexford People and was then reprinted in Canon Sheil's History of the Parish of Bree.
'There is still extant a tender legend about the bell of an unusually sweet tone which the monks rang for Vespers each evening. When Cromwell scattered the monks and wrecked the Church the bell disappeared, but at twilight, the legend says, its dulcet tones still continued mysteriously to steal out on the hill and dale round Kilcuanmore until the Cromwellian landlord, a bad man, died and was buried in the walls of the ruined Church near St. Cuan s grave. From that day the bell was heard no more. The blessed spirits and their bell fled from so foul a desecration." The stranger's grave was closed, and hushed for aye that swelling sound, a sad and solemn stillness fill the ruined walls around. No more the spirit band was heard in joyous notes to sing above the ivy-covered ruins beside the sacred spring, with dismal sound the moaning wind swept o'er the ruined pile, Shivering the grass on Cuan's tomb, and whistling through the aisle; No more upon the evening air is heard the silver swell, the charm had fled, no more was heard the pealing vesper bell.' (Sheil 1921, 115-116).

Q: How can I extract the list of urls obtained during a HTML page render in python? I want to be able to get the list of all URLs that a browser will do a GET request for when we try to open a page. For eg: if we try to open cnn.com, there are multiple URLs within the first HTTP response which the browser recursively requests for.
I'm not trying to render a page but I'm trying to obtain a list of all the urls that are requested when a page is rendered. Doing a simple scan of the http response content wouldn't be sufficient as there could potentially be images in the css which are downloaded. Is there anyway I can do this in python?

A: It's likely that you'll have to render the page (not necessarily display it though) to be sure you're getting a complete list of all resources. I've used PyQT and QtWebKit in similar situations. Especially when you start counting resources included dynamically with javascript, trying to parse and load pages recursively with BeautifulSoup just isn't going to work.
Ghost.py is an excellent client to get you started with PyQT. Also, check out the QWebView docs and the QNetworkAccessManager docs.
Ghost.py returns a tuple of (page, resources) when opening a page:
from ghost import Ghost
ghost = Ghost()
page, resources = ghost.open('http://my.web.page')

resources includes all of the resources loaded by the original URL as HttpResource objects. You can retrieve the URL for a loaded resource with resource.url.

A: I guess you will have to create a list of all known file extensions that you do NOT want, and then scan the content of the http response, checking with "if substring not in nono-list:"
The problem is all href's ending with TLDs, forwardslashes, url-delivered variables and so on, so i think it would be easier to check for stuff you know you dont want.

What does snort -c /etc/snort/snort.conf -T say?
> and I can't seem to get Snort to write .u2 files. None of the solutions I've come across online have fixed this problem.
> And Snort writes snort.log files written in PCAP instead.
> Also another thing to note, even after I make direct changes to the snort.conf file it seems that when I run Snort the changes aren't taking affect. For example, I comment out the 'config logdir: /var/log/snort' line in snort.conf but when I run Snort log files (albeit pcap ones) are still outputted to the /var/log/snort directory.


Some history on one of the oldest names in the Gambling Industry!
When two innovative gents decided to go into partnership as commission agents in 1886 they could hardly have believed that what they were starting would be still going today, under the name Ladbrokes.
Messrs Schwind and Pennington were well ahead of their time with their idea. As reported by Ladbrokes themselves, Schwind and Pennington's main objective was to back horses trained by Pennington at Ladbroke Hall in Worcestershire.
16 years later, Arthur Bendir joined the Schwind/Pennington group. It was Bendir who gave the group the name Ladbrokes, after being inspired by a signpost he saw on his first visit to Ladbrokes Hall.
Bendir could probably be considered the real founder of Ladbrokes as he changed the emphasis from backing horses to betting against them, choosing to act as both a bookmaker and a punter.
The next big stage in Ladbrokes' development was in the 50s. Cyril Stein and his uncle, Max Parker, acquired the business. Stein was one of the most impressive entrepreneurs of his generation and he led Ladbrokes in introducing 'no limit' and 'ante post' betting. He also extended the shop opening hours to facilitate betting on greyhound racing in the evenings.
In 1961 betting shops were legalised in the UK. It was 1962 before Ladbrokes opened its first shop. There was still a lot of stigma around the whole issue of gambling - shops had blacked out windows etc!
Stein continued with his innovative thinking when in 1963 Ladbrokes were the first to offer odds on the outcome of the Conservative Party leadership contest, making them a tidy profit (at the time!) of £1,400.
In the 80s, Ladbrokes took over a 400-strong betting shop chain in Belgium and moved into the US sports marked with the purchase of Detroit Race Course.
It's hard to believe but it is now 17 years since Ladbrokes took its products and services online with the launch of ladbrokes.com. Just in case you weren't feeling old already today, that's almost two decades ago!
In 2013 Ladbrokes partnered up with the game developer, Playtech. They launched a new mobile service via Playtech's Mobenga platform in December of that year. This collaboration has worked well as Ladbrokes have grown their online casino offering and are now serious contenders in this huge market.
The following year Ladbrokes generated record revenue for World Cup betting for Brazil 2014. Jim Mullen moved up the ladder within the company. He had overseen the company's digital growth since 2013 and was made Chief Executive in April 2015.
Last year, saw another huge chapter in the Ladbrokes story as they merged with Gala Coral after approval from the Competition and Markets Authority to become the Ladbrokes Coral Group.
With the company seemingly going from strength-to-strength it will be interesting to see what's in store in the next chapter of Ladbrokes Coral.


As many of us may be aware, yoga is an amazing workout with many benefits towards our health and flexibility. However, for the busy parent or college student, yoga can be a great way to relax and to take time for yourself even if you only have a few minutes of free time.
Each yoga pose will com with benefits for our bodies and minds. Deep twists allow our muscles to relax and can relieve back pain, plank poses strengthen our arms, wrists and shoulders, and prepare us for inversions such as a forearm stand. So what are good relaxation poses?
The first relaxation poses is awesomely called corpse pose or savasana. Typically this pose is performed at the end of a yoga class where one can release tension and clear their mind. To perform this pose, one simply lies on their back with hands by their side. The point is to release our muscles and lay still (hense the name corpse pose), which actually can be surprisingly difficult, especially for someone with an ever racing mind; however, once you finally release yourself, this is an amazing poses for relaxation.
The next pose is supported shoulder stand. This is a personal choice of what I found to be relaxing and beneficial for anyone with a limited amount of time on their hands and wants to relax. In this pose all you need is a yoga block and a wall if you choose. Simply lie on your back with the block under your bottom with your legs pointing up to the sky. If you choose to use a wall, allow your bottom and legs to rest against it, allowing you to use less strength to support your legs and more relaxation to take place. This pose is great for your back, where many of us hold most of our tension. For an added benefit, this pose is also known for relieving varicose veins by the reverse effects of our legs being upside down and the blood flow reversed.
I hope this post gave some insight on the benefits of yoga and the simple poses that can help relieve stress. I will be sure to make similar posts in the future!


This course explores Jewish, Christian, and Muslim intercultural relations in Iberia from the Visigothic era (6th century CE) until the creation of Queen Isabel I and King Ferdinand II Catholic Spain (late 15th century). We evaluate the many identities of the peninsula known as Christian Hispania, Jewish Sefarad, and Islamic al-Andalus. We trace the origins and trajectory of conflict between these communities (the Muslim conquest of Spain, Christian Reconquista, prohibitions blocking intermixing of peoples, and expulsions). We aim to understand conflicts within communities as well, such as the tensions between Christian Arian Visigoths and native Catholic Iberians or the fundamentalist North African Almohad Dynasty that rejected the Spanish Umayyad Caliphate's preference for religious tolerance. We delve into an appreciation of collaboration and coexistence among these communities. We explore the unique role of the Jewish community who Muslims and Christians depended upon as political and cultural intermediaries as well as the intellectual collaborators. We find the history of how peoples attempted to create and manage viable diverse communities.
• Demonstrate broad knowledge of the Spanish Middle Ages in relationship to Christian Europe and the Muslim Mediterranean world.
• Interpret the interaction of Jews, Christians, and Muslims in the medieval Christian cities of Burgos, Toledo, Plasencia, and Granada.
• Critique how historians create research questions to reveal the past using fragmentary primary sources (original manuscripts).
• Appraise manuscripts, museum objects, artifacts, and architecture for cultural and historical meaning.
• Employ research skills that focus on locating, evaluating, and using primary and secondary sources.


. . . in the merry, merry month of May!
Tuesday means I, Darlene, have a creation to share with you using dies from the Dies R Us Store!
What a beautiful day to take a stroll in the park, so that is my theme today!
This sweet baby carriage and garden bench worked perfectly with my Crafty Secrets image.
And the pink 'doily' is actually the 'inside cut' from the Cheery Lynn Designs Polynesian Sails Oval die set.
A touch of sparkle was all that was needed to finish my sweet 'stroll in the park' scene.
Did you notice the stencilling in the background?
I am having so much fun using these Memory Box stencils on the backgrounds for my cards. Here I've actually used it over top of an already beautiful design paper to give even more 'depth'. I've used Tim Holtz 'spun sugar' and 'peeled paint' distress inks for my stencil sponging.
The embossing on this Spellbinder Blooms 4 set is beautiful and shows up beautifully when 'curled' the opposite direction from the flower I've created today. That's the fun of these dies ... you can condition them, spray them, ink them, crumple them and curl them any way you'd like to create a variety of flower patterns and looks! Give it a try ... so much fun! And this Poppystamp 'Massa Leaf Outline' is quickly becoming one of my favorites!
I hope you've found inspiration in today's card creation and will come share YOUR creations with US at our new Dies R Us Challenge Blog. A brand new challenge starts Thursday (15th).
Stop back tomorrow to see what Sherri has created ... you won't want to miss it! And, I'll be back with another inspiration piece to share with you next Tuesday! Until then . . .
What a beautiful scene! Isn't it wonderful how you can create a whole scene with just a few dies? Great card, Darlene!
Simply gorgeous Darlene. I love how you used the stencils in the background to add depth and how you combine the dies instead of using only 1 or 2 of them. Also, the background photo in this is really awesome...darling child. Thank you for sharing and for the easy to follow tutorial.
Just wonderful! Very vintage and I love your colors.


I started with the Zucchini Crusted Pizza recipe in Moosewood Cookbook and then did my own version. I used the crust recipe from the Zucchini recipe and then for the inside I modified the Swiss Cheese Mushroom Quiche recipe. I used a mixed cheese for the Swiss and sautéed mushrooms, a scallion, green pepper and spinach and sprinkled black olives on the top before baking.

Tallahassee, Fla. – Today the coalition of statewide business, consumer and environmental groups that represent Stronger Safer Florida issued the following statement regarding action taken Thursday by the Citizens Property Insurance Corporation's Board of Governors' approval of a $3.9 billion risk transfer package in advance of the 2015 hurricane season.
The move, which includes $1.855 billion in reinsurance and $2.05 billion in catastrophe bonds, improves the state-backed insurer of last resort's resources to reduce chances of Floridians facing hurricane assessments after a storm. Since 2005, all policyholders have paid billions of dollars in assessments on their insurance bills to pay back damages from the 2004-2005 hurricane seasons. Transferring risk onto the global private reinsurance market helps to prevent further assessments from being levied.

The terrible things that occur in the Japanese town of Taiji happen daily for six months of the year, although they are now well hidden from view.
Secret cameras, however, have made their way into Taiji's cove, and this video clip is from some of these cameras.
Action for Dolphins doesn't want to shock unnecessarily, but if you want to understand why we're so passionate, please see for yourself the horror that goes on in Taiji.
We invite you to watch just 30 seconds here. Don't worry if you can't make it to the end - many people can't.
We warn you that it's horrific footage. We ask that you don't show this to children.

Supporting AFD is a very tangible way we actually can make a difference.
Ace Bourke is one of Australia's leading art curators; a pioneer in the field of Aboriginal art and a colonial art specialist.
He is also a passionate advocate for the protection of animals, an interest which began with an unusual purchase he made in 1969. While on a shopping trip at Harrods department store in London with friend John Rendall, Ace spotted a cage containing a tiny lion cub for sale. The cub, which had been acquired from a zoo, had broken out of its cage one night and destroyed the merchandise in the carpet department, and Harrods was now keen to sell it.
Ace and John purchased the cub, which they named "Christian", for £250. They raised Christian for a year in their London apartment, exercising him in a church graveyard and taking him for trips to the seaside. The three developed a close bond, but Christian's rapidly growing size made it increasingly impractical for him to live in London. With the help of conservationist George Adamson, Ace and John were eventually able to reintegrate Christian into the African wild.
But it would not be the last time the three would meet. In 1973, Ace and John travelled to Kenya to see Christian. They did not know if Christian would remember them. Christian was now a member of a pride, and it was not clear that he would be friendly to humans.
When Christian first saw Ace and John he at first slowly approached them, but he hesitated at a distance. Then, as if suddenly recognising his friends, he bounded toward them and jumped on them excitedly, wrapping his enormous paws around their shoulders in an embrace. You can see the extraordinary footage here.
Two documentaries, Christian the Lion and The Lion from World's End, were made about the extraordinary friendship, and forty years later the YouTube clip featuring the unforgettable reunion has been viewed more than 20 million times. The mutual love and trust between Ace and Christian has become a symbol of the potential of human-animal relationships, and the importance and urgency of animal protection and conservation.

Q: CSS Animation Sidemenu (using it as filter pane for table) Hey I struggle using CSS Animation. I use Bootstrap 4 and am very new to website developing and also to CSS. I use Animate.css for my animaton. I want the icon button to expand to the side and show the div with the select elements ( for table filtering, for which I use datatables).
Here is my reproducable script: I cant figure out how to start the animation from the icon button on (I also want the select button evenly spaced and vertical centered, but the button on the right). I could only realise this with display:flex but then float-right does not work for the button.
Here is the code: I couldnt figure out how to use animate.css in jsfiddle :/
Edit: I forgot the animate method:

A: How To Add transition animation with CSS
I will briefly explain how this example works. So that perhaps you can get a better understanding or an advanced start in your learning.
There are two ways to animate using css, with a Animate property or Transition property. I use the transition property in this example because this animation is simple and also the transition animations are better for performance.
Transition: Set the property that you would like to transition, duration and an Bézier curve ( animation timing ).
The comments in the code explains in more detail what every part of the code is for.
Deme : https://jsfiddle.net/hexzero/9da0q3eh/
function SetActiveDiv(ID, bt) {
  var element = document.getElementById(ID);
  if (element) {
   element.classList.toggle("slide") // By toggling the class,
   return true               //css attributes change that triggers the animation to start
  }
  return console.log(ID, " not found!");
}

#sideExpand {
  display:flex;
  width: 100%;
  height: calc( (1rem * 1.5) + (0.5rem * 2) + (2px) );
  border-radius: 35px;
  background-color: rgba(31, 45, 65, 0.125);
  transition: transform 1s ease-in; // Transition set which property will be animated and how
  transform: translateX(100%); // this is the initial position of the element

Note: This means that to start with the element will be 100% out of position.
Towards the right side, due to the flow of the document.
  z-index: -1; // z-index determines how elements stack up on the z axis, lower values to to the bottom of the stack
}

#sideExpand.slide{  // We have to use the Id along side the class do to specificity
  transform: translateX(0%); // This is the position that will be achieved
}

.filter-container{
  padding: .3rem;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: flex-end;
  overflow: hidden;  // Hides the overflowing element, at the moment the filter is 100%
} // out of position that would extent the view to the right significantly.

#filterToggle{  // I advise to never use inline style, try to add them to your style-sheets
  background: white; // fore, the use of inline styles and the !important keyword
  font-size: 150%; // has extremely high specificity values that are hard to overwrite
  border: .2rem solid #c1c1c1;
}

#filterToggle::after{ // Add a cover to hide the filters
  position:absolute;
  content: "";
  height: calc( (1rem * 1.5) + (0.5rem * 2) + (2px) );
  width: 4rem;
  background:white;
  right: -2rem ;
  z-index: -1;
}

If you spot any inconsistencies or have any suggestions how to improve my answers please let me know. Thanks

A: You can simply use css animations :
UPDATE: button fixed to the left.

Brian O'Donnell is the chef & owner of Bywater, a new restaurant in the historic working waterfront of Warren, Rhode Island. He started his culinary career in Pittsburgh but in the unlikeliest turn of events found himself head chef at Cafe Nuovo in Providence where he developed his passion for sustainable seafood and local food culture. Now the owner of his own joint with his wife Katie, he can forage, fish, and cook whatever the coastal community has to offer. Bywater is a new world interpretation of old world ingredients and techniques, drawing on the traditions of Rhode Island's seafaring folk as well Brian's food history: from Clonbur in Galway, Ireland (he's the youngest of 13 children), to the Pennsylvania Dutch influence of Pittsburgh, to his current home on the New England shore.
Rhode Island native Matt Gennuso traveled far and wide to learn all he could about food, so that in the end he could return home to share his cuisine with Providence. Gennusos journey began at the Culinary Institute of America. He spent one year in Holland honing his skills and then worked under notable chefs such as Chef Paul Bertolli of Oliveto in Oakland, California, and Tom Colicchio during his time at Gramercy Tavern in New York. In Boston, Gennuso worked at Hamersleys Bistro where he mastered his butchery skillsa first step toward charcuterie. In 2003, back in his home state, Gennuso opened Chez Pascal, where he features Rhody produce on his French-inspired seasonal menu. In 2009, he started selling his sausages from a truck, which eventually turned into walk-up window and casual eatery called Wurst Kitchen that specializes in outstanding Rhode Island saugies.

Quiet women may feel they face a double whammy in the workplace. Not only do they risk losing out through gender bias, but their voices may also be drowned out by louder colleagues. How can quieter women build successful careers whilst remaining true to themselves?
It may be tempting to develop an alter ego, mimicking those who speak at length in meetings or taking on "male" characteristics when dealing with others. However, cracks inevitably appear and can make you seem inconsistent. And introverts constantly launching themselves into noisy social situations become drained rather than energised.
A better way may be to draw upon your quiet strengths. For example, introverts often make very persuasive presenters because they take time to research and prepare. Take Emma Watson, the highest grossing actress of the past decade, who describes herself as "an introverted kind of person". Her powerful speech to the UN https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-xqeTvD3as and the launch of the #HeforShe campaign exudes authenticity and quiet confidence.
Or if you have a preference for focused conversations rather than chit-chat and are known for being a good listener, you might find that your relationships with clients and staff are deeper and stronger than those of your colleagues. Eleanor Roosevelt's White House biography notes her shy beginnings and then her "great sensitivity to the underprivileged of all creeds, races and nations…her graciousness, and her sincerity of purpose endeared her personally to many".
And don't forget that there are many ways for your voice to be heard. The written word is not just for introverted authors such as JK Rowling. Social media, LinkedIn groups, blogs and the like all allow quieter women to develop and showcase their expertise and build a wide network.
Quiet women have the ability to succeed on their own terms, like Marissa Mayer, the self-confessed introverted Yahoo! President and CEO. On International Women's Day, let's celebrate and encourage the many authentic and successful approaches women can take to build great careers.

Mokhukhu (nordsotho för hydda) är en rituell dans, utövad inom afrikanska sionistkyrkor.

Dansen har sitt ursprung i de stridigheter rörande ledarskapet inom Zion Christian Church, som uppstod efter grundaren Engenas Lekganyanes död 1948. Anhängare till dennes äldste son Edward Lekganyane brände ner bostäder tillhörande brodern Josephs anhängare, under det att man dansade runt och, på isiZulu, sjöng u yasha umkhukhu (hyddan brinner).

Dessa episoder har kallats motheo wa Kereke (kyrkans grundläggande) och dansen spelar idag en central roll i  ZCC (Star):s gudstjänstordning. Namnet mokhukhu används även som namn på den grupp inom kyrkan som utför dansen. Dessa män är klädda i khakifärgade kostymer och stora vita skor, kallade  manyanyatha. På bröstfickan bär de kyrkans emblem, en silverstjärna med bokstäverna ZCC på.

Lifelong Westchester Resident Alison Sullivan Dies At 26
PEEKSKILL, N.Y. -- John "Jack" Joseph Ward -- a Spring Hill, Florida, resident, formerly of Peekskill, died on Tuesday, Aug. 16. He was 92.
Ward enlisted in the Navy when he was 18, and he served during World War II aboard the carrier USS Block Island. The carrier was sunk in the Atlantic on May 29, 1944, one week before the Normandy invasion and one week before his 20th birthday.
Following his Navy service, Ward worked for several railroad companies, including the Boston and Maine, New York Central, Penn Central and the Long Island Railroad.
In later years, he was a communicant of Saint Theresa's Parish, in Spring Hill. His interests, hobbies and activities were so varied that he once told his family that he was "made for retirement."
Ward is survived by his children, John Joseph Ward Jr., Patricia Vespo and Michael James Ward; sons-in-law Martin Vespo and John Woolsey Fowler, and daughters-in-law Carol Ward and Teresa Marie Ward; sister Theresa Clark; and brother James Francis Ward.
He is also survived by grandchildren Jessica Ann Ward, Jacqueline Vespo, Michael Brian Ward, Thomas Michael Ward, Martin Vespo, Matthew James Ward, Alisha Ward Fowler and Carolynn Marie Ward; many nieces and nephews; and friend and companion Yvonne Wise.
Ward was predeceased by his wife of 56 years, Elizabeth Agnes Walsh; daughter Ann Ward Fowler; parents Thomas Patrick Ward and Eva Regina Ward; and brother Thomas Gerald Ward.
A memorial mass was celebrated at St. Theresa's Roman Catholic Church, in Spring Hill, on Monday, Aug. 22, followed by internment at Florida National Cemetery in Bushnell, Florida, with military honors.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to St. Theresa's Parish Fund, 1107 Commercial Way, Spring Hill, FL 34606.
