These last few days have been full of adventures! This morning I got to sleep in a little (8:30 woo!) before heading to the IES center for my academic meeting. I walked again to get a little exercise, but it is just about the same time to take the metro vs walk. Had my appointment to go over classes and I added another class I might want to switch, it doesn't sound like the most fun so we will see.
Next, it was the first intensive French grammar course ... oh la la! Luckily there is a bunch of Skidmore kids in the class. Unluckily there is homework tonight. After that we went to get falafel for lunch in the Marais which is a kind of hipster-y district of Paris. Let me tell you - there is a reason l'As du Fallafel is on Lenny Kravitz's places to eat in Paris. C'est delicieux!
After lunch, we walked around the city and finally got to do some sight-seeing. First stop was the Seine!
Next we were close enough, so we walked down and saw the Notre Dame! It was so big and so pretty!
Then it was off to Shakespeare & Co. which is a pretty famous bookstore in Paris. Lots of cool things to see. Then we ended our afternoon at a bar in St. Germain which was a lot of fun. We ordered a pitcher of cider for all of us to share as our apértif which is a pre-dinner drink. The bartenders asked us if we were studying abroad in Paris (it was quite obvious as we were speaking English!) and when they heard we were they gave us a round of shots on them! So obviously, new favorite bar as they were very nice and also spoke English. We just hung out and chatted all evening which was a nice way to wrap up our day. Dinner was delish and after me, my homestay sister and host mom all had to do homework.
C'est vendredi! It's Friday and we all couldn't be happier. Breezed through my French grammar class and then grabbed lunch with a few girls from a boulangerie again. French sandwiches hold a special place in my heart - today's was ham, Gruyere, and butter on a baguette. We ate lunch in a park near the center and then walked to Monoprix to pick up school supplies and shampoo.
That night we had another welcome dinner with all of the IES students and staff at this really fancy restaurant. First course was an artichoke soup with truffle oil (heaven in a bowl). Next, the plat principal was haddock but since I don't eat fish I got some duck which was delicious. Dessert was a crème brulée.
We then hit up another Monoprix for bottles of wine and sat near a canal and drank them. It was very French! We tried to get into a bar near where we were but sadly our group of 10 was much too big and they didn't let us in. Luckily we were pretty close to a metro and took the metro to Bastille which has a lot of bars. We split up and went inside in different groups which worked out better. The bar was crowded and we all were pretty tired so most of us left around 12:45 to take the metro home.
Saturday was also full of adventures! I slept in a little and then had (yet another) awkward run in with my host-sister. So far whenever I see her, I am either having trouble opening doors, having the coffee maker overflow, or accidentally taking a shower just as she was. We were meeting some people from IES to go on a street art tour in Belleville in the 10th, so a few of us met up before for some food before our walk. It took about an hour and a half and was pretty chilly. The street art was super cool and our tour guide was energetic which made the tour a lot of fun.
Then, my friend and I took the metro to Montmartre and Sacre-Coeur to meet up with some other friends at the Musée de Montmartre. Let me tell ya - Montmartre really is un mont (a mountain)! We climbed over 300 steps and were pretty tired at the top. But the view was beautiful!
The museum was chouette (cool)! I finally learned the meaning behind Le Chat Noir, that famous poster that seems to be in everyone's house. After the museum, we had some time before dinner so we went to the 1st arr. for coffee since we all were pretty tired. Dinner was ramen and the perfect thing to warm us all up from this chilly day.
After dinner, half of the group went home while the other half decided to grab a drink. One of us had a better idea to go see La Tour Eiffel. I was 100% on board as that was the one thing I have been dying to see while here in Paris.
... and it was every bit as magical as people say it was. Seeing the lights of the tower against the dark Parisian sky was the prettiest thing I have ever seen. My heart was racing and I got a little teary as the clock turned 9:00 and it began to sparkle. It hit me that I am studying abroad in Paris for a semester - literally the dream!
We walked down closer and saw a crêpe stand, so we bought crêpes to eat while we looked at the beauty that is the Eiffel Tower. With my crêpe citron et sucre (lemon and sugar) looking at the bright lights and listening to La Vie en Rose play on a nearby carousel is something I hope I always remember.
We walked around near the tower across the Seine for a little bit and then walked to find somewhere not too expensive to have a drink. We found a cute little restaurant a little bit of a walk from the tower but the kir au vin blanc was so worth it (mine was peach!) Had another awk host sister encounter but made it into bed!
Sunday morning was a nice, lazy morning where I tried to get some homework (dévoirs) out of the way before we went to Rue de Rivioli for some shopping. I ended up getting a super soft light pink scarf which will come in very handy as it continues to be freezing here. We then met up with some friends at the Jardins de Tuileries in the Louvre - which is huge and beautiful! I'm so excited to come back and see the museum.

Brumbies referred to ASIC over land deal
9 Nov 2016 Super Rugby
The Brumbies sale of their Griffith training base has been referred to ASIC. Photo: Getty Images
by RUGBY.com.au staff
Super Rugby outfit the Brumbies have been referred to corporate regulator ASIC over unidentified potential breaches.
Late in 2015, the Brumbies and the Australian Rugby Union referred the controversial sale of its Griffith headquarters and subsequent move to the University of Canberra to police after the club said it had uncovered "anomalies" in multiple transactions.
The referral followed an internal audit by KPMG ordered by former club chief executive Michael Jones.
The KPMG report remains suppressed by the courts, although some details emerged before the suppression order and through questions asked in the ACT Parliament.
An ACT Policing spokesperson said on Wednesday that police had finished their assessment.
"During the assessment, ACT Policing identified matters for the consideration of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission," she said.
"When he received the KPMG report last year Mr Jones, who has since left the club after a bitter dispute over the report, said the allegations were serious enough to be referred to police - which was one of the options given by KPMG."
Police provided no further details.

Meanwhile, New Zealand Rugby have named a high-powered panel to examine sexism in the game following a number of recent scandals.
The so-called "respect and responsibility review" will look at how to change NZ Rugby's macho culture and make it more inclusive.
"In the same way that rugby seeks to do better on the field, we must constantly seek ways to improve off the field," NZR chief executive Steve Tew
The sporting body acted amid growing public disquiet over the off-field antics and NZR's handling of the incidents.

Lovely character work in great little drama, incidentally about swimming the English Channel.
Released in 2005, certified UK-12A. Reviewed on 16 Sep 2005 by Scott Morris
What? Two British films in as many weeks? That's about two thirds of this years' quota, isn't it? At any, rate, the more important aspect of On A Clear Day is that it's rather good, regardless of providence.
Frank (Peter Mullan) finds himself the latest victim of the slow death of the Clydeside ship building industry suffering the indignity of redundancy which from personal experience stings, certainly for anyone with the merest sliver of a work ethic. Already damaged from a decades long rift with his son Rob (Jamie Sives, of the transcendent Wilbur (Wants To Kill Himself), this might have been enough to push him over the edge to a rather dark place were it not for a channeling of his energies into an already existing interest in swimming. Frank decides to swim the English Channel.
Madness, for someone his age, you might think. Certainly too much to tackle by himself. Good job his old workmates Norman (Ron Cook), Eddie (Sean McGinley) and Danny (Billy Boyd, again in full comedy sidekick mode) are along to variously help and hinder the training plan of local chip shop owner Chan (Benedict Wong). In the pure mechanical sense of the plotline, this plugs along in an enjoyable enough but largely unremarkable fashion.
That's not the whole story, though. On A Clear Day's masterstroke has little more than tangential relation to the efforts in the water. As you may perhaps expect with this group of actors, by far and away the most enjoyable parts stem from the interplay of the characters, well written, well acted and well, really good. Again as with Wilbur, and that's not a comparison we make lightly round these parts, it manages to make it's lead characters so familiar that you'd swear blind you'd met them somewhere. Frank's obstinate bullishness, Rob's melancholy alienation, hell, even Danny's good-natured, dim-witted banter, all combine with subtle clues and sublime scripting to make everyone, even the supporting characters, feel like real, fleshed out people, not one dimensional soundbite merchants.
A lot hinges on Peter Mullan's performance, indeed the film would be pointless without it. As you've probably gathered, Mullan delivers in spades with the sort of depressing dependability whether behind or in front of the camera that leaves me feeling rather like the talentless hack that I actually am. It's a layered and affecting if rather gruff outing for him, showing enough vulnerability and weakness to contrast with his hard-headed outlook that serves as his default state. This keeps Frank an interesting character, an one it's very easy to empathise with.
His relationship with his emotionally distant son Rob is what this film really ends up being about, and despite the relatively minimal screentime allotted to Jamie Sives he puts in a showing that's just as complete and charismatic as Mullan. If there's a flaw to be found it's more with a script that leaves Rob slightly humourless, purely down to a lack of time rather than any fault on Sives or director Gaby Dellal's part. His understandable frustration with Frank tends to dominate his character, and it's only a few moments with his family that show his lighter side.
And On A Clear Day isn't afraid to show it's lighter side. Rob's kids prove to be charming, and while it'd be really, really nice to see Billy Boyd do something radically different from the Weegee Naive Slightly Dim Comedy Sidekick schtick returning from the Lord of the Rings flicks, it's a role he's pretty much got down pat by this point. This movie cares almost as much about it's minor characters as the leads, and by the end of the film anyone who's had more than three lines to speak over the course can lay claim to some degree of character development. I can't remember the last time I could say that about any film.
Oddly, on reflection the weakest part of the film come almost invariably when Frank's in the water. It certainly gives a break from all of this character based drama which may otherwise have had serious pacing issues, but unlike Frank's front crawl it feels as though it's treading water during this time. Still, if the 'swimming' part of the film was excised then this film would have no reason to exist, and that would be a Bad Thing.
This is the sort of movie they almost don't make these days. Intelligent, charming, consummately executed by everyone involved in the project and uplifting without ever resorting to schmaltz and cloying sentimentality lesser films would crowbar in during the final act. It's an effective and touching character piece at the same time as being a very funny, lighthearted comedy, like a cross between Chariots of Fire and Rab C. Nesbitt. Comes highly recommended.

Headspace is mainly known as a massively popular guided meditation app. However, the product family also includes multiple books on mindfulness and meditation. This Headspace book review is about the first Headspace book, "The Headspace Guide to Meditation and Mindfulness".
Before reading the book, I had used the Headspace app for a year. I've also used a few other mindfulness apps and read other books on mindfulness and meditation. Therefore I was able to compare "The Headspace Guide to Meditation and Mindfulness" to other similar products while writing this Headspace book review.
"The Headspace Guide to Meditation & Mindfulness" was originally released as "Get Some Headspace" in 2011. Despite the re-branding, the Kindle e-book remains unchanged.
How Is the Headspace Book Connected to the Headspace App?
"The Headspace Guide to Meditation and Mindfulness" is written by Andy Puddicombe, the co-founder and public face of Headspace. The book has a slightly complicated relationship with the Headspace meditation app.
The Headspace book was originally released as "Get Some Headspace" in 2011 – a year before the mobile application. After the success of the mobile app, "Get Some Headspace" was re-branded and re-released as "The Headspace Guide to Meditation and Mindfulness" in 2016.
Despite the new (and incredibly long) title, the content of the Headspace book has remained the same. In fact, the Kindle e-book I bought is completely identical to the old "Get Some Headspace" edition. Even cover of the e-book is still the same.
For my review of the Headspace app, see "Headspace Meditation App Review (One Year of Daily Use)".
What is the Headspace Book All About?
Headspace was co-founded by Andy Puddicombe, a former Buddhist monk who's also the public face of the Headspace company. The idea of Headspace is to offer secular mindfulness practice for everybody. The Headspace techniques are taught in an easily approachable way.
The Headspace meditation sessions are relatively short – usually around 10 minutes. However, the idea of Headspace is to carry certain presence and awareness – mindfulness – throughout the day. The Headspace book teaches several meditation techniques and explains the ideas behind them. The book also teaches ways to remain mindful throughout the day.
In my Headspace app review, I criticized how Headspace recently removed videos of the Headspace co-founder Andy Puddicombe from the app. In the new Headspace app released in 2017, these video clips have been replaced with more animations and text-based instructions. I felt like the clips made me feel a personal connection to my teacher, so I felt sad about their removal.
The Headspace app may feel more impersonal than before, but that's not the case with "The Headspace Guide to Meditation and Mindfulness". The Headspace book is written by Andy Puddicombe, and he tells a lot of personal stories of his days as a Buddhist monk.
Puddicombe is a very engaging writer, and his stories teach concepts of mindfulness in a very memorable way.
The full title of the original book was "Get Some Headspace: How Mindfulness Can Change Your Life in Ten Minutes a Day". The new edition uses the same subtitle, but repeating the full title in this Headspace book review would take way too much space.
"The Headspace Guide to Meditation and Mindfulness" by Andy Puddicombe has many similarities with the Headspace guided meditation app. The basic 10-minute guided meditation session, Take10, is the same. Some of the theories, examples and specific techniques are also repeated in both platforms.
So, if you're already using the Headspace meditation app, is the the Headspace book worth reading?
Yes, absolutely! Most importantly, "The Headspace Guide to Meditation and Mindfulness" explains the reasons behind the exercises more thoroughly than the app. The Headspace book gave me a deeper understanding of the Headspace technique. It also cleared some misconceptions I still had about meditation.
Before reading the Headspace book I had already used the Headspace app for a year. My motivation had slightly diminished, but the Headspace book revived my interest meditation. Reading the book made me more excited about meditation than ever before!
Who Is "The Headspace Guide to Meditation and Mindfulness" Aimed For?
Andy Puddicombe has made the "The Headspace Guide to Meditation and Mindfulness" very approachable for all readers, no matter their level of experience. In fact, "The Headspace Guide…" became the book I'd now recommend for anyone who'd like to learn meditation and mindfulness for the first time.
The Headspace book presents its ideas in a light and easily understandable way. At the same time, "The Headspace Guide to Meditation and Mindfulness" should have just enough content and entertainment for experienced meditators.
In this sense, I prefer the Headspace book to "Full Catastrophe Living" by Jon Kabat-Zinn, one of the most famous mindfulness teachers and researchers in the world. I've completed Kabat-Zinn's 8-week Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program, and I think it's great. Still, I believe you need to be extremely committed to make it through the 700+ pages of his book "Full Catastrophe Living".
While Jon Kabat-Zinn goes through all aspects of life in a great detail, Andy Puddicombe takes a different approach. Puddicombe keeps his focus more strictly on mindfulness and meditation. Instead of telling readers what to do with their lives, Puddicombe doesn't give too exact orders. He just asks the readers to be mindful and see where that leads.
"The Headspace Guide to Meditation and Mindfulness" has only 220 pages, but the amount of content feels just about right.
Thinking how to illustrate this Headspace book review was a very interesting task.
I really like "The Headspace Guide to Meditation and Mindfulness" by Andy Puddicombe. The presentation is excellent, the meditation technique is good and the stories are very memorable. Despite all this, I have a few issues with the book".
As I mentioned before in the beginning of this Headspace book review, "The Headspace Guide…" is just "Get Some Headspace" wrapped in a new cover. The original book from 2011 featured free download links for audio files of different meditation exercises. These free download links are still present in the e-book, but they don't work anymore.
Instead, the audio files have been moved to the Headspace app – which costs almost 100 US$ per year (or less if you use a discount). This shift to the Headspace app makes the Headspace book feel slightly outdated. Fortunately the practices are still included in the book in written form.
Then there's the classic problem with self-help books. It's easy to read a book and be inspired for a while, but how long does the effect last? For maintaing a daily practice, I think the Headspace app works better than the book alone.
Andy Puddicombe wrote "The Headspace Guide to Meditation and Mindfulness" (originally "Get Some Headspace") before the release of the Headspace app. Although the book and the mobile app share a lot of content, I'd still recommend the Headspace book for people who already use the Headspace app.
Just like the mobile app, the Headspace book teaches meditation in an easily understandable and secular way. This makes it a recommendable read for people who don't know much about mindfulness and meditation. At the same time, the book should have enough content for more experienced meditators.
The e-book version of "The Headspace Guide to Meditation and Mindfulness" is unfortunately a little outdated. The original "Get Some Headspace" book featured free download links to audio files of the written exercises, but these links don't work anymore.
I've used the Headspace app for a long time, but I still found the "The Headspace Guide to Meditation and Mindfulness" useful. I heavily recommend the book for anyone interested in meditation and mindfulness.
Final note: "The Headspace Guide to Meditation and Mindfulness" is not the only Headspace book written by Andy Puddicombe. The series also includes "The Headspace Guide to Mindful Eating" (previously "The Headspace Diet") and "The Headspace Guide to a Mindful Pregnancy".
However, I have no intention of reviewing those books any time soon.
UPDATE 1/2/2018: Out of curiosity, I've now added affiliate links to this post. If you make Amazon book purchases through the links in this article, I will get a small commission that I'll use to fund my trip around the world.
I added these links long after writing this review, and they haven't affected my opinion about "The Headspace Guide to Meditation and Mindfulness" in any way.
I have bad eyes because of the Diabetes. I read with a magnifying glass. No offense, I don't read self help books, because I read the ultimate book, The Bible! It has food for the soul! I was wondering if they had audiobooks?
A few of my friends like reading this books. They seem to help them and i'm glad! It's a tough world out there, despite all of its natural beauty and we need all the help we can get! TY for sharing!
I use the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite e-reader, which lets you enlarge the text of the e-books. I don't know if you've ever tried one, but an e-reader might let you read without a magnifying glass!

You already have a relatively successful business website. So why should you add a blog? Especially if it means paying out more money to have someone write it for you?
First up, blogging is an incredibly cheap way to increase your brand's reputation.
"Blogging requires roughly 9% of a full-time marketing team's hours and just 7% of their total budget." – HubSpot stats.
Here are 5 more damn good reasons for why the investment in a business blog makes perfect sense.
The age of the Internet means that your clients are now quite adept at finding information for themselves. This means that if they can't find the information they need on your site, they will go elsewhere. Probably to one of your competitors.
Your blog provides a space to communicate useful information to your clients. Use it to talk about what is happening in your business and why that matters to customers.
"B2B marketers using blogs generate 67% more leads than those who do not." – The Blogconomy.
People buy from people. More importantly, people buy from people who inspire confidence through demonstrations of expertise.
You can use your blog to comment on industry news, highlight specific product features or to discuss use cases. With well-crafted blog posts, you can begin to establish your business as a thought leader within your industry.
Most of your first time visitors will arrive on your site via a search engine. Achieving a high search results ranking is therefore essential to ensuring the future success of your website.
One way to attract the attention of Google is to ensure that your site is updated and added to regularly. Your blog is designed specifically for that purpose. So investing in your blog is actually investing in how easily your clients will find your website.
"Companies that blog have 55% more website visitors." – HubSpot research.
Harsh economic conditions means that many business have ceased to trade. But often the website for these companies remains functional, if a little dated. So if your website information is stale, how will a website visitor know if you are still in business or not?
By posting regularly on your blog, it will be immediately obvious to visitors that your business is alive and well.
By engaging in two-way conversation, your business blog provides another channel through which you can establish relationships with buyers. Relationships that should translate to cold, hard cash further down the line. Remember, people buy from people.
The truth is that blogs are a non-negotiable aspect of a truly successful website. Tech Write offer business blogging services starting at just £280 per month. Drop me a line for more details.

Night at the Museum Returns, Fewer Lines Expected
By Katherine Jacobsen
The city's museums will open late Saturday and admission will be free.
Nearly 200 of Moscow's museums, parks, theaters and cultural centers are staying open after hours Saturday as part of the city's sixth annual Night at the Museum project. Most participating venues will be open from 6 p.m. until midnight, some much later, and will offer free admission.
The evening's calendar includes special night tours, performances, street concerts and master classes on a range of topics from cooking to painting.
"This project is important for Moscow because the whole city is participating," said Natalya Malafeyeva, spokeswoman for the night's organizing committee.
By organizing such a wide variety of events spread across the city, organizers say they hope to provide event-goers with an enjoyable and accessible cultural experience.
Events are divided into districts in which they will take place, as well as categories of interest, including science, technology, history, classical art, modern art, decorative art, literature, music and theater. In short, event planners say, there is something for everyone.
The event's website offers a map and a list of events, as well as information about four extra bus routes planned especially for the event. Night at the Museum organizers anticipate anywhere from a remarkable 500,000 to 1 million participants.
Previous years have seen huge lines to get in to many museums and complaints about overcrowding inside. To combat the problem, organizers have a map on their site, which will show which museums have the most visitors so that people can avoid the lines. They also have a hotline for information on the night.
This year, 10 museums, including the Mayakovsky Museum, the Museum of Retro Automobiles and the Museum of Gulag History, are allowing event-goers to register early online or via a telephone hotline, to ensure a quick entrance into the respective museum.
The project this year is funded by the city government in partnership with MITs, an investment-development group.
In particular, the Multimedia Art Museum promises a sleepless night, as it stays open until 2 a.m. The museum has a host of shows on at the moment, such as one dedicated to Soviet chess sets, which includes sets used in the Gulag. The exhibit is timed to coincide with the World Chess Championship, which started in Moscow last week. The lobby of the museum currently also works as a chess board.
Other shows at the museum include the New York photos of Chinese dissident Ai Weiwei and a fascinating look at the Soviet avant-garde buildings of the 1920s and 1930s.
Other Night at the Museum projects take place in more than 42 cities, including London, Paris and Amsterdam. There is no formal connection between the city's project and others abroad, Malafeyeva said, save from the uniting principle of after-hours museum admission.
On Sat. May 19. To find out more about Night at the Museum, see Museumnight.org. Museum hotline: 543-9693.

Agriculture Minister Giedrius Surplys says that Lithuania must talk with Germany, Austria, Denmark and the Netherlands in an effort to secure more funding for its agriculture after 2020.
The minister said after a meeting with EU Agriculture Commissioner Phil Hogan on Monday that Lithuania needs to establish a dialogue with these member states as soon as possible.
"He (Hogan) said that the key countries we should start talking to are the so-called payers: Germany, Austria, Denmark and the Netherlands," he told BNS by phone from Sofia.
In Surplys' words, Lithuania asks for the same support as that allocated to other EU member countries in exchange for a greater focus on environmental protection and social needs and on keeping people in rural areas.
"I put forward our arguments that we want to apply the 'more for more' principle'. This means asking for equal (support) in exchange for paying more attention to environmental protection and social needs and dealing with the problems of depopulation of villages," the minister said.

Surplys has told BNS recently that he will try to negotiate with other EU member states over more funding for Lithuania's agricultural sector in 2021 to 2027 than that proposed by Brussels.
The ministries for finance and agriculture estimate that the European Commission's proposal calls for allocating 5.136 billion euros, at current prices and adjusted for inflation, to Lithuania's agriculture sector in 2021 to 2027, up 8.7 percent compared with the 2014–2020 period.

The next major tunnelling contract on the 17km long Shatin-Central Metro line in Hong Kong is awarded to the Chun Wo/Seli joint venture. The HK$1.07 billion (€100 million) contract is for excavation of the running tunnels between Diamond Hill and Kai Tak (Fig 1). Seli will supply the TBM and complete the excavation works for the 50/50 joint venture.
The contract award is among the first of 16 major tunnel, station, track, ventilation and rolling stock contracts to be rolled out in the next two years by MTR Corporation, the owner of the Hong Kong Metro system (Fig 1, Table 1).
The centerpiece will be Contract SCL 1121 for a new 1.3km immersed tube metro crossing of Victoria Harbour. Shortlisted prequalifiers for the contract are expected to be announced imminently and ahead of a planned contract award in the first quarter of next year (2014).
The next major tunnelling award, for the SCL 1108 Kai Tak Station and associated tunnels contract, is expected in the second quarter of this year. In all the new Shatin-Central Link will have ten stations, six of them allowing connectivity with other lines. Construction of all but HinKeng Station will be by cut and cover, with drill+blast specified for the tunnel between HinKeng and Ma Chai and for the overrun tunnel south of Admiralty Station.
TBM excavation is specified for the twin running tunnels between Ma Chai and Kai Tak via Diamond Station; between To Kwa Wan and Ho Man Tin Station via Ma Tau Wai; between Causeway Bay Police Officers' Club and Exhibition Station; and between Convention Avenue and Admiralty Station.
The HK$64.9 billion (€6.4 billion) line is to be constructed in two sections; the 11km Tai Wai-Hung Hom section in Phase 1, to be completed in 2018, and the 6km Hung Hom-Admiralty section that features the harbour crossing and due to be completed in 2020. Enabling works began in June last year (2012).
"The new rail link plays a vital part in connecting more districts of Hong Kong with our integrated rail network, which will further improve Hong Kong's public transport system," said Jay Walder, CEO of MTR Corporation.
Award of Contract SCL 1107 to the Chun Wo/Seli JV followed a complex prequalification process. A spokesman for Seli said: "This positive result is significant not only for the size of the project but also for the future and continuity of Seli operations in China."
In November last year (2012) Seli announced it had taken on a new Chinese partner, Tollian, in a deal which saw Tollian acquire a 29.84% share in the business in exchange for a capital injection of €30 million. The deal was aimed at increasing TBM construction for the Chinese and wider Asian market.

The role of prohormone convertases in insulin biosynthesis: Evidence for inherited defects in their action in man and experimental animals
D. F. Steiner, Y. Rouillé, Qiuming Gong, S. Martin, R. Carroll, S. J. Chan
The hormone insulin remains the cornerstone of diabetic therapy since it is required for almost all cases of Type 1 and many cases of Type 2 diabetes. Since the discovery of insulin in 1921, much has been learned about its chemistry, structure and action as well as its production in the β cell. Insulin is formed through a series of precursors, beginning with preproinsulin, the protein encoded in the insulin gene. These precursors direct the prohormone into the secretory pathway and ultimately into the secretory granules where it is converted into insulin and C-peptide. These products are stored and secreted together in a highly regulated manner in response to glucose and other stimuli. This review focuses on the recently discovered prohormone convertases, PC2 and PCS (PC1), the enzymes responsible for the endoproteolytic processing of proinsulin to insulin and C-peptide in the β cell as well as for the selective processing of proglucagon to glucagon in the alpha cell or GLP1 in intestinal L-cells. PC2 and PC3 are calcium-dependent senne proteases related to the bacterial enzyme subtilisin. They cleave selectively at Lys-Arg or Arg-Arg sites in precursors, generating products with C-terminal basic residues that are then removed by carboxypeptidase E, an exopeptidase. All 3 enzymes are expressed mainly in secretory granules of neuroendocrine celles throughout the body and in the brain Inherited defects affecting the prohormone-processing enzymes have recently been found in association with unusual syndromes of obesity and other metabolic disorders.

This review focuses on the recently discovered prohormone convertases, PC2 and PCS (PC1), the enzymes responsible for the endoproteolytic processing of proinsulin to insulin and C-peptide in the β cell as well as for the selective processing of proglucagon to glucagon in the alpha cell or GLP1 in intestinal L-cells. PC2 and PC3 are calcium-dependent senne proteases related to the bacterial enzyme subtilisin. They cleave selectively at Lys-Arg or Arg-Arg sites in precursors, generating products with C-terminal basic residues that are then removed by carboxypeptidase E, an exopeptidase. All 3 enzymes are expressed mainly in secretory granules of neuroendocrine celles throughout the body and in the brain Inherited defects affecting the prohormone-processing enzymes have recently been found in association with unusual syndromes of obesity and other metabolic disorders.

Yesterday I attended a round-table for Nominet's revised proposal for allowing registrations directly under the .uk domain. The original proposal last year received a great deal of feedback and Nominet have responded with a much simpler second version, described in a consultation document and background paper. It was clear from the discussion that not everyone is convinced that second level registrations should be allowed at all, however my concern is that if it does go ahead the opportunities for it to cause problems should be minimised. I'll be responding formally to the consultation in September: comments and suggestions for that response are very welcome. You're also welcome to respond direct to Nominet, of course.
The following summarises the main areas of discussion:
The original proposal would have required all new second level domains to implement specified security features, in particular DNSSEC and scanning for malware. Most responses seem to have agreed that these should be promoted, but to have been concerned that making them mandatory for new domains was both impractical and would damage the reputation of existing .uk domains which might already have equivalent or better security measures. Nominet have therefore decided to detach the security strand and work with partners on promoting and developing domain security measures that would be available to all .uk domains. This also means that the suggested price for a second level domain will be considerably less than in the original proposal.
Registrant Validation
There is a worldwide concern to improve the quality of information about registrants, in case of problems, but this creates tensions with both privacy and the desire to be able to register domains quickly and simply. It appears (though I don't think this is explicitly stated in the consultation) that individual registrants will be still able to conceal their personal information as they can for current .uk registrations. For all second-level registrations Nominet are proposing to validate the supplied postal address details against on-line databases, and to verify that the supplied e-mail address can be used to contact the registrant. Registrants from outside the UK will be required to provide an address in the UK where legal documents can be served. These checks will be done in parallel with the creation of the domain: the domain may be delegated before the checks complete, but if checks fail then it will be suspended.
Nominet are proposing to allow existing third level registrants to request these checks for a nominal fee, for second level domains this would be included in the registration fee.
Comments at the round-table were that that to improve trust in the .uk namespace the checks ought to be made mandatory across the whole domain, or even registration within the domain restricted to UK residents or registered businesses only.
Rights to domains
The original proposal involved a multi-stage launch process for the new domain, similar to that used for ICANN's launch of new generic top level domains. Following the consultation it has been concluded that this was unnecessarily complex, given that what is proposed is an extension of an existing domain where many rights issues have already been resolved. The new proposal is that where a domain already exists in one (or more) of the hierarchies operated by Nominet (eg example.org.uk), those registrants would have six months to decide if they wanted the equivalent example.uk domain. Nominet are planning to contact all existing registrants to try to ensure that all are aware of this opportunity. Domains that don't exist elsewhere in .uk can be registered at the second level immediately, on Nominet's usual first-come, first-served basis. If more than one existing registrant requests the new domain it would go to the registrant whose third level domain had been continuously registered for longest. If that domain is currently being challenged under a dispute resolution process then the allocation of the new domain will be delayed until the challenge is resolved. It's not yet clear how domains that aren't managed by Nominet - such as .ac.uk, .gov.uk, .nhs.uk and police.uk - will be able to participate in this process. Nominet are planning to talk to Janet and others concerned in those domains (and .sch.uk which has never allowed normal registrations). They are also seeking views on how the transition could be made easier – for example should there be a discount for those holding both domains in a 'pair', a longer window for existing domain holders to transition, etc.?
Comments included a suggestion that the .co.uk domain should simply be moved en masse to .uk, and, conversely, warnings of the rebranding (and possibly reputation re-building) costs for any business that did move! It was also pointed out that using time of registration was unfair to registrants of two-letter domains in both .co.uk and .org.uk, since those were released and auctioned relatively recently so registrants did not control the order in which they happened to be created.
Something that wasn't discussed, but which I will be putting in our response, is whether certain domains should be reserved. For the .uk proposal Nominet have a very short list of domains that will not be created (the main ones being the headaching uk.uk and com.uk). A number of .gov.uk domains which will not be moving to www.gov.uk (e.g. royal.gov.uk) will also have their second-level equivalents reserved. In our response to the original proposal I pointed out the risk of confusion if parallel hierarchies could be created, especially as these would not be covered by the normal dispute resolution processes. So as well as .com.uk I'd also see .edu.uk, .limited.uk and several others as more likely to do harm than good. Nominet's proposals for .wales and .cymru do include reserving various generic terms so I'll be recommending that they consider taking the same approach to .uk
One problem highlighted in responses to the original consultation was that organisations that moved domain might lose their accumulated reputation with search engines. Nominet are discussing this at high level with Google; apparently there have a 'change of address' function that should preserve reputation etc. across the change.

In addition, the other General FAQ, Development License FAQ, Questions & Answers and Troubleshooting sections may also be of use.
What does the "Upgrade Term" mean? Will my license stop working?
My system has Development, Testing, Production, and Fail-over servers. How many licenses do I need?
Are there any trade restrictions placed on the Java Service Wrapper?
Server Licenses are designed to be run on systems which will be used indefinitely without need for future licensing. The "Upgrade Term" found in the Server License's license key is a term during which you will be able to upgrade your Wrapper for free. It means that you will be able to run any version of the Wrapper that is released BEFORE the Upgrade Term's end date. Those versions will then run indefinitely.
User Support for the Wrapper license will also cease at the end of the upgrade term. If you wish to continue receiving our great support, and be able to always upgrade to latest and greatest versions of the Wrapper, please purchase upgrades to your Server Licenses as needed.
You can see the upgrade term for a given license at any time from within the Server License's license key file. Another option is by viewing the details of your license on the Server License Management page.
Server Licenses are each tied to the "HostId" for a particular server. The quick answer is that you will need a single license for each server the Wrapper is run on, regardless of its purpose.
Starting with Wrapper version 3.5.0, the Java Service Wrapper now include a time-limited trial license which will allow you to run the Wrapper for up to 15 minutes on any server as many times as needed. This can be useful for quick tests on a number of different types of servers. It of course will not be sufficient for any kind of long term development or testing.
For many Development and Testing environments, permanent license may not be needed. In these cases, one-month trial licenses can be used. It is also possible to generate longer term trial licenses, on request, for customers who also own purchased licenses.
We will also assign 1 free testing license, for customers who own 3 or more Server Licenses.
A third testing license at 20 and so on.
Non-production servers include testing and development environments.
Hot and cold standby servers are considered to be production servers.
Please contact Support for more information. Please ask us about "testing" licenses. "Development licenses" have a different meaning.
If you are purchasing new licenses through a reseller partner, please wait and ask us directly for the testing license(s) after the order is completed.

Q: How can I use php to remove tags with empty text node? How can I use php to remove tags with empty text node?
For instance,

 remove
 remove

 remove
 remove
But I want to keep the tag with text node like this,
link keep
Edit:
I want to remove something messy like this too,

I tested both regex below,
$content = preg_replace('!<(.*?)[^>]*>\s*</\1>!','',$content);
$content = preg_replace('%<(.*?)[^>]*>\\s*</\\1>%', '', $content);

But they leave something like this,

A: One way could be:
$dom = new DOMDocument();
$dom->loadHtml(
    '
test

'
);

$xpath = new DOMXPath($dom);

while(($nodeList = $xpath->query('//*[not(text()) and not(node())]')) && $nodeList->length > 0) {
    foreach ($nodeList as $node) {
        $node->parentNode->removeChild($node);
    }
}

echo $dom->saveHtml();

Probably you'll have to change that a bit for your needs.

A: You could do a regex replace like:
$updated="";
while($updated != $original) {
    $updated = $original;
    $original = preg_replace('!<(.*?)[^>]*>\s*</\1>!','',$updated);
}

Putting it in a while loop should fix it.

A: You should buffer the PHP output, then parse that output with some regex, like this:
// start buffering output
ob_start();
// do some output
echo '
I am not empty
';
// at this point you want to output the contents to the client
$contents = ob_get_contents();
// end buffering and flush
ob_end_flush();
// replace empty html tags
$contents = preg_replace('%<(.*?)[^>]*>\\s*</\\1>%', '', $contents);
// echo the sanitized contents
echo $contents;

Let me know if this helps :)

Q: MissingPluginException(No implementation found for method init on channel com.ryanheise.just_audio.methods) I am building a desktop application using flutter where I need to play audio files from local storage and for this I am using just_audio flutter package since it supports Windows. But I Couldn't find any examples of it for windows. I have coded something like this-
import 'package:just_audio/just_audio.dart';
...

void main() => runApp(MyApp());

class MyApp extends StatefulWidget {
  @override
  _MyAppState createState() => _MyAppState();
}

class _MyAppState extends State<MyApp> with WidgetsBindingObserver {
  final _player = AudioPlayer();

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    ...
    _init();
  }

  Future<void> _init() async {
    await _Player.setFilePath('C:/Users/Admin/Downloads/test.wav', preload: true);
  }
  ...

The await call never finishes and I am getting the following error:

A: Hi If you have used some package, then after pub get try to restart app(Not hot restart, build it again) then it will work.

A: just_audio doesn't include a Windows implementation. As it says in the README, you need to include another package such as just_audio_libwinmedia that provides a Windows implementation of the package.


Serval - Nonagenarians and centenarians in Switzerland, 1860-2001: a demographic analysis.
Nonagenarians and centenarians in Switzerland, 1860-2001: a demographic analysis.
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To explore the rapid rise of the extremely old population, showing the magnitude of the increase and identifying demographic mechanisms underlying this increase. DESIGN: Demographic analysis using census data, yearly population estimates, and mortality statistics. SETTING: Switzerland 1860-2001. MAIN RESULTS: Indicators suggest a strong increase in the number of nonagenarians and centenarians in Switzerland as compared with other countries. The increase is mostly attributable to the decline in mortality after age 80. This decline started in the 1950s. CONCLUSION: Nonagenarians and centenarians constitute a new population, which became sizeable after 1950 in Switzerland. There is a need to monitor this population with appropriate demographic and epidemiological indicators.


Why Ought to a Firm Bother With Health and Safety Training?
The primary objective of well being and security training is to extend your employee's understanding and awareness of the risks they could encounter in the office, and, more importantly, the right way to keep away from and reduce the possibilities of incidents happening at all. Though risk can by no means be totally eradicated, workers that have a better understanding of the risks will know what to look out for and what they'll do (or not do) to reduce the probability of accidents occurring to as close to zero as possible.
Not only will health and security training make them more aware of the potential hazards, it must also inform them of the control measures that are in place to stop accidents, and the company's health and safety procedures for working safely.
Well being and security training which reduces accidents and incidents within the office may have a number of benefits to the corporate, notably monetary, making it a superb return on investment. After an accident, a employee is prone to want break day to recover. This will fluctuate depending upon the severity of the accident, however could be a significant amount of time in severe cases. The identical might be said of those that develop into ailing because of poor working conditions. Having an employee away from the workplace will reduce the total output of the company. If the corporate wishes to keep up the present level of output, they will need to herald non permanent employees which will incur costs when it comes to recruitment fees and having to pay them a wage as well as sick pay to the individual off work. Alternatively, they will get other staff to cover for the absent one, however making folks do a part of someone else's job as well as their very own is prone to cause a fall in morale and a feeling of being over-worked.
A employee who has obtained well being and ISNetworld help safety training which stops them from having an accident means there's less potential for them to sue the corporate afterwards. Though the corporate could not have done anything mistaken and would win the court case, it will nonetheless burn up valuable time and money preventing the case or agreeing an out-of-court settlement.
Well being and safety training ought to be given to new starters, covering matters resembling the right way to safely operate the actual equipment that they are going to be utilizing, the hazards that they face from others working on the premises (e.g. fork lift truck drivers moving gadgets across the factory ground), the corporate's emergency procedures and the placement of things similar to fire combating equipment, emergency exits, assembly factors etc.
It is also vital that staff regularly obtain common well being and security training in an effort to refresh their information as things might have been forgotten because the final session. Training should also be given when circumstances change equivalent to when a person is transferred to a different area of the enterprise, when new equipment is launched, or there is a change to how present machinery is used. The corporate's insurance company can also require training in a particular space as a part of the agreement to insure the business.


CPU Intel: 775,1150, 1151, 1155, 1156, 1366, 2011/v3.
The i32 is about as simple and basic as a 120mm tower cooler comes. If this was a flavour, it'd be vanilla, and who doesn't like vanilla. In all honesty, it's actually a nice simple (if slightly OEMish) tower cooler, and at £24 what's not to like. Well, there's the fan clips for starters. We like the way they clip to the fan instead of the fin stack, but my god do they look ugly and obvious while they're doing it.
No mirror finishes up here, no-sir-ee, just good old plain Jane Aluminium. Down below though, things are neat and tidy. Just look at the quality of workmanship there chaps.
The fitting method is the same as for the i11 and although a bit of a fiddle at the beginning, quickly settles down into a nice mundane fit. We still think those spring clips are fuggly though. And what of performance. Well if you're looking for the best bang for your buck the i32 is the way to go. At just £2397 this little 120mm fan based cooler is something of a giant killer.
