I left my family on Labor Day weekend to surprise one of my dearest friends for her birthday. This was supposed to be a weekend to celebrate her, her brilliance, and for me, it was supposed to be a weekend where I celebrate how much I adore her.
People arrived for the surprise party one by one, and her face lit up as is loved one entered her home. There was a toast, a meal that I am still salivating over, but truth be told, as Entrepreneurs, we cannot stop obsessing about our craft.
The room grew still as a vibrant woman talked about the multiple books she had written, but then admitted she is bartending to pay the bills. Our faces froze. Mind you, this room had at least three business consultants/ coaches, and we all went into work mode.
Not skipping a beat, we waited for our chance to pounce on this beautiful soul and following some unwritten rule in the air, we did not let her leave until she felt grounded in her next steps to ensuring her vocation be given the proper place on the planet. Clearly, she had much to offer, and we could not, and would not let her slip into the shadows.
That is what passion is.
Those of us who are passionate cannot help ourselves. We want to eat, breathe, speak our passion. The world has a little bit of a hard time with us. We are "too much", "too happy", "too eager".
And they may be right, but we cannot imagine being less enthusiastic. So we don't stop.
The truth is that busy Entrepreneurs need a break to thrive.
We struggle with delegating and outsourcing, or justifying paying for it. We are take-charge kind of people, and that sometimes errs on the side of thinking we have to do it all ourselves. Our big heart sometimes gets confused, and we under charge. We have so much going on, which is exactly why more people come to us, because they KNOW we will get things done, and so more gets put on our plate.
We love it. We thrive in it. Until we hit a wall. We need a vacation, a break of sorts.
This is exactly why I retreat and lead retreats. I know women like me need a place to be nurtured, to receive the clarity directly from the soul, and to put the action steps into place. I am preparing for the Wellness Fall Retreat this weekend, and I would love to bring you along.
I know you cannot be there. But I welcome your sweet Spirit to join us as we go inward and come out with clarity for ourselves + our businesses in 2016. I invite you to take the next couple of days and create a retreat of your own. Maybe it's turning the phone off for a couple of hours, allowing yourself a hot bath without interruption, or even going for a walk by yourself. Any act of retreat counts.
When was the last time you went on a retreat? Is there a part of you that craves it? Let's stay connected because I have a feeling we may be able to help!

About University of Utah
Soon after Brigham Young arrived in Utah to establish a Mormon community, he appointed a Board of Regents to create an institute of higher learning. At the time, there was a shortage of teachers and it was Young's idea to create a university that would focus on the training of young men for teaching positions. Despite not having much funding, the Regents began searching for land for the campus. The lack of funding kept the Regents' from building on the land so they simply constructed a fence around the property with plans to build a schoolhouse.
Not content to wait until funding was available for the new schoolhouse, the Regents reached out to Mrs. John Pack, a local resident, who agreed to allow classes to be held in her home and the University of Deseret officially opened in 1850. A few months later, the school relocated to the Council House on the corner of Main and South Temple where it remained until the schoolhouse was completed in 1851.
In 1852, crop failures and drought led to reduced enrollment as families were more concerned with food and survival than higher education. That same year, the legislature determined that the school was self-sufficient and withdrew an annual stipend of $5,000. The school was forced to close until the arrival of the railroad which brought many non-Mormons to the area.
In 1868, the University of Deseret reopened at the Council House location. In 1884, University Hall opened and the name of the school changed to the University of Utah in 1892. In 1894, Congress deeded 60 acres of land and a new campus was constructed there, opening in 1900.
Today, almost 32,000 students attend the University of Utah.

Genre of The Week
The Wailing (2016), and why you should watch it!
by Jinjil
May 26, 2020 April 11, 2021
It is not often you watch a movie like The Wailing (2016) and not talk about it…
Discovery is oft surprising in ways they open doors to realms unvisited before. Movies do this to you! While Get Out (2017) subverted genre expectations, 2020 brought us Parasite. To many of us, this was our induction into South Korean movies. Indeed! Train to Busan (2016), The Host (2006), and Oldboy (2003) are poster films, and probably in our radars if we haven't watched them already.
The unprecedented manner in which Parasite took centre stage (deservedly so!) and won its 4 academy awards has now pushed South Korean productions into the esteemed ethos of world cinema.
Towards Pioneers
Parasite is not a one time marvel from the land of k-pop, kimchi, natural wonders, and North Korean defectors. And it is certainly not the first film from there to push the envelope and redefine storytelling norms. Truly we live in exciting times, especially us unabashedly ignorant bubs who conveniently skip movies because they don't speak our language.
Enroute discovering Okja (2017), Memories of Murder (2003), A tale of two sisters (2003), and every other behemoth of movie magic which deserves its own article, I found the one!
Never has a movie beguiled me to this end. Nor have I found myself fantasising theories over the mastery of the plot while it bathed me in a swathe of petrifying nightmares.
Cultural differences aside, no better movie has had me relate with its premise and characters, deeply rooted in a supernatural environment which in no way is endemic to its land.
Never one dimensional and always pulling the rug of surety from beneath you, The Wailing is a mish mash of genres that blend alluringly.
The horror comes from the very archaic concept of horror – fear of the unknown, and in this case more literally so – the fear of the foreign.
What is it about ?
Without revealing too much, The Wailing tells the story of a sleepy South Korean town plagued by unnatural and violent sprees of murder coinciding with the arrival of a Japanese man, a foreigner, whom they distastefully call 'Jap'.
While explicit themes of supernatural, of the allegorical kind get you intrigued, the overtures of the psychological kind and subverted themes of symbolism keep you coming back for more.
Why The Wailing?
I have had my fair share of horror movies but none so cerebral and visually bewitching. Since my first viewing last week, I have naively found myself binging on the same movie over and over again
Been five viewings now, and I'm no close to closing my chapter with this affair I have so wantonly developed.
I have spent the past week like a madman eating through the threads of reddit, and promiscuously referring to multiple "What the hell happened" explanation on various sites of worth. Unsarcastically so, time spent well.
Why should you watch it?
The Wailing is a movie that tells a different story to each viewer. Not uncooked pieces here and there but the fleshy juicy whole. Each interpretation makes sense and runs synonymously with the "What the hell did I just see" emotion one would wind up with.
In essence, The Wailing is a story that tells many different stories in a singular story (for the lack of a better phrase) in a way it looks like a different story each time.
Now this is not sheer ambiguity we are looking at. Calling it multiple interpretations would be a disservice to the genius behind the modus operandi. In fact, assigning a modus operandi to The Wailing in itself is a crime, for the movie is best consumed in whatever the hell way you want!
If you are one of the Money Heist binge watchers or on the 5600th episode of some anime, pause. Take a break. Give The Wailing a watch, I am sure you wouldn't disappoint the movie.

Q: gulp useref remove files from pipeline Is there a way to not output the gulp.src file? My goal is to bundle javascript only and output .js only, not html.
In base.html the following blocks are used to bundle Javascript with gulp-useref:
<!-- build:js app.core.js -->
<script src="{{ STATIC_URL }}etherflex/js/vendor/conditionizr_4.5.1.js"></script>
<script src="{{ STATIC_URL }}etherflex/js/app/conditionizr.detects.js"></script>
<script src="{{ STATIC_URL }}etherflex/js/app/conditionizr.config.js"></script>
<script src="{{ STATIC_URL }}etherflex/js/vendor/mootools-core_1.4.5.js"></script>
<!-- endbuild -->

The gulp task
var gulp = require('gulp');
var notify = require('gulp-notify');
var changed = require('gulp-changed');
var plumber = require('gulp-plumber');
var uglify = require('gulp-uglify');
var rename = require('gulp-rename');
var gzip = require('gulp-gzip');
var useref = require('gulp-useref');
var gulpif = require('gulp-if');

module.exports = function (path) {
    return gulp.src('templates/**/*.html')
        .pipe(plumber({errorHandler: notify.onError("Error: <%= error.message %>")}))
        .pipe(useref({
            searchPath: path.source,
            transformPath: function(filePath) {
                return filePath.replace('{{ STATIC_URL }}/','')
            }
        }))
        .pipe(changed(path.build + 'js'))
        .pipe(gulpif('*.js', uglify()))
        .pipe(rename({
            suffix: ".min",
        }))
        .pipe(gulp.dest(path.build + 'js'))
        .pipe(notify("Javascript concatenated, minified and gzip compressed: <%= file.relative %>"))
        .pipe(gzip())
        .pipe(gulp.dest(path.build + 'js'));
};

The goal is simply to read the block comments in base.html only and output the bundled javascript app.core.js.
Any suggestions?

A: To expand on my comment, you can simply use gulp-if to filter the stream for gulp.dest.
.pipe(gulpif('*.js', gulp.dest(path.build + 'js')))

Delaney Brothers
Delaney Brothers Furniture
(pictured: Delaney Brothers Contract Furniture Consultant principals Rosemary, Kevin, Paul and Brian Delaney)
Contract-grade commercial office furniture is typically designed to last about 20 years. But their replacement cycle has accelerated lately with workplace changes that tend to make furniture obsolete before it ever wears out.
Cranberry-based Delaney Brothers - actually three brothers and one sister - deal in furniture for offices, educational institutions, government buildings and healthcare facilities. So they are particularly attuned to changes in the workplace that influence their clients' furniture needs. Twenty years ago, for example, people had computer monitors on their desks.
"We don't have big PCs anymore; we have flat screens and laptops that use less space," Kevin Delaney explained. "We used to sell big corner desks because the monitors were that big. Now people work from home, or they're mobile. Or they may have shared work space, coming in only on Mondays and Wednesday with somebody else coming on Tuesday and Thursday. And cubicles are shrinking because the real estate inside a business is very expensive."
Partition heights and materials are also changing, usually to improve acoustics and reduce the amount of artificial lighting required.
"There's also the whole green concept," sister Rosemary added. "People don't have that much paper on their desk anymore. If you have two drawers and a file cabinet, that's sufficient for many people. Everything is online; it's in a cloud where it can be accessed easily. Things don't get lost like they used to."
Contemporary work patterns are another important influence. "It's a collaborative environment," she noted. "You want people sitting in shared spaces with desks that are mobile or chairs that can be moved easily into a mini conference center."
To keep up with the evolving needs of their clients, the Delaney Brothers represent dozens of producers, and hundreds of products, sourced from all over the world. Contract furniture, the term the company uses to describe its business, is a concept of furniture sales that is far more encompassing than normal retail transactions. It frequently includes consultation, space planning, staging, delivery, installation, and follow-up support.
But unlike a consumer-oriented furniture business, the Delaney business doesn't start with a customer walking into a showroom or warehouse - although several of the companies they represent do operate showrooms in and around Pittsburgh. Nor do the Delaneys maintain an inventory of furniture on hand. Instead, one of the brothers will typically meet with a buildings' architect, designer, purchasing agent or facility manager to learn how the space will be used, and then develop a blueprint showing what sorts of workstations, seating, storage, tables and movable walls would work most effectively - all within the client's budget.
The sweet spot in Delaney Brothers' market are organizations with 250 or fewer employees. Although the company has taken on projects involving multi-story office buildings, they are equally at home with clients looking for a single office chair.
The Delaneys formed their family's business in 2006 after each of the brothers had built his individual career in various phases of the office furniture industry. For the past five years, they have maintained their company's own office at Gigliotti Plaza, right in the heart of Cranberry's business district, and close to each of their Township homes.

A Tour-de-Force
Robert Rochfort, first Earl of Belvedere is rightly notorious for having imprisoned his wife for over thirty years on the grounds of adultery with one of his brothers: she was only released after his death in 1774. At some date before then, the earl had embarked on building a new residence for himself in Dublin. Located on Great Denmark Street and looking down North Great Georges Street, the incomplete Belvedere House was inherited by the second earl who initially sought to dispose of the property, offering it for sale in 1777. However, either he was unable to find a buyer, or he decided to retain the house, work on which was finished in 1786. Since 1841 it has been owned by the Jesuit Order which runs a secondary school on the site. In plan and composition Belvedere House closely resembles 86 St Stephen's Green, begun in 1765, the design of which is now attributed to Robert West who, in addition to being a fine stuccodore was also a part-time architect and property developer. When Belvedere House was offered for sale in 1777, interested parties were directed to West, thereby indicating that similarities between this building and 86 St Stephen's Green were not accidental.
The attribution of Belvedere House's design to Robert West is of significance because of the building's remarkable interior decoration. The staircase hall and first-floor reception rooms contain some of Dublin's most elaborate plasterwork, and divining who was responsible for this tour-de-force has been the subject of much analysis. In 1967 C.P. Curran's Dublin Decorative Plasterwork of the 17th and 18th centuries noted in the collection of drawings left by stuccodore Michael Stapleton several items directly relating to the design of ceilings in Belvedere House. Accordingly, this work was assigned to Stapleton. However, the fact that West was responsible for designing the house complicates matters, and the consensus now appears to be that both he and Stapleton had a hand in the plasterwork. Conor Lucey (in The Stapleton Collection, 2007) suggests that Stapleton may have been apprenticed to, or trained with, West and the fact that he was named the sole executor of the latter's will in 1790 indicates the two men were close. The source material for the stucco work is diverse, that in the stair hall deriving in part from a plate in Robert Adam's Works in Architecture, but the first-floor rooms feature a wider range of inspiration, much of it from France and Italy. The main reception room at the front of the building has an oval in the centre of its ceiling, which seemingly held a scene of Venus wounded by Love taken from Francois Boucher's painting of the same name. However, when the Jesuits assumed responsibility for the house, the saucy nature of the work led to its removal. The adjacent room's ceiling contains a roundel showing Diana in a chariot drawn by two stags: this was allowed to remain. In recent years a full restoration of these rooms has been undertaken by RKD Architects, allowing us better to appreciate how they must have looked when first completed, a tribute to the remarkable craftsmanship that existed in 18th century Ireland.

Giving Credit Where Due
The drawing room ceiling in Killruddery, County Wicklow. This part of the house was designed for the tenth Earl of Meath by Richard and William Vitruvius Morrison in the 1820s. Usually the names of craftsmen employed in such tasks remain unknown but specific information has been found about this ceiling. The principal plasterer was Henry Pobje of Dublin but he didn't work alone. Fifty years ago in 1968 when Elizabeth, Countess of Meath was repainting the room, she discovered on top of one section of the cornice the name of Simon Gilligan, together with the date 24th April 1824, which was presumably when the plasterwork was completed.

In his Preface to Dublin Decorative Plasterwork of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries (1967) C.P. Curran argues that any study of the subject must concern itself primarily with the latter period: 'This is so for two reasons. The Dublin stuccodores' craft reached a singular perfection in that century and notwithstanding the loss their work has suffered and still undergoes in the vicissitudes of the city's growth, examples of its various excellence are still abundant and are accessible for study.' Today's examples, all now in Dublin Castle, admirably illustrate this point.
Demolished in the early 1950s owing to the value of the land on which it stood, Mespil House now tends to be remembered as the home of artist Sarah Purser. But the man responsible for its construction is just as worthy of notice, having enjoyed a distinguished career across diverse fields.
Born in Cork in 1698, after studying first at Trinity College Dublin and then at the University of Leiden, Edward Barry became a doctor like his father before him. Initially he practised in his native city, there writing his first book, A Treatise on a Consumption of the Lungs, published in 1726. In addition to his medical work, he found time to become a member of the Irish Parliament, representing Charleville from 1745 to 1761. By the time his political career began, he had already moved to Dublin, and here produced his principal medical work, On Digestion in 1759. A decade earlier he had been elected President of the College of Physicians and in 1754 he was appointed Regius Professor of Physic at Trinity College Dublin. But he was as interested in the arts as the sciences, and on good terms with many of the notable writers of his day. In 1736 he reported to John Boyle, Earl of Orrery (and future Earl of Cork) about their mutual friend Dean Swift, 'I'm concerned to hear that Swift is confin'd by some Disorder; I hope nothing but a bilous cholic, which a few Satyrical evacuations will remove.' At the age of 63 Barry decided to move his practice to London but there is some question over whether he did as well there as had been the case in Ireland. According to Boswell, Samuel Johnson once remarked of Barry, 'He was a man who had acquired a high reputation in Dublin, came over to England and brought his reputation with him, but had not great success.' Created a baronet in 1775, he died the following year but not before producing a final book running to almost 500 pages: Observations, Historical, Critical and Medical on the Wines of the Ancients, and the Analogy between them and Modern Wines. This was the remarkable man responsible for building Mespil House in 1751.
Returning to Curran's Preface, the author comments that 'The diversity and excellence achieved by the middle of the eighteenth century is unquestionably due to outside stimulus. In the arts, no more than in nature, there can be no Declaration of Independence, since to be isolated is to be sterile and an organism is strong only in so far as it can assimilate.' One of the outside stimuli from which indigenous stuccodores assimilated ideas during this period was Barthelemy Cramillion, whose origins and training remain unknown, although it has been suggested he was French Huguenot or Walloon by birth. He first appears in Ireland in August 1775 when employed by Dr Mosse to decorate the chapel of the new Lying-In Hospital, now known as the Rotunda: the contract bound him to complete the work within thirteen months. In December 1757 he was again engaged to execute the chapel altarpiece within six months. His total bill, finally settled in 1760, came to £585, nine shillings and ninepence. He left Ireland a year or two later but then returned in 1772 and in the Dublin Journal advertised his services to 'Any Nobleman or Gentleman inclined to employ him.' Two ceilings removed from Mespil House before its demolition and now installed in Dublin Castle (top and bottom series of pictures) have been credited to Cramillion by Joseph McDonnell in Irish Eighteenth-Century Stuccowork and its European Sources (1991). On the other hand, Timothy Mowl and Brian Earnshaw in their 1999 book An Insular Rococo question that attribution, noting that Mespil House dates from 1751, four years before Cramillion appears working on the Rotunda chapel. They also believe the ceilings 'appear to be the work of two different plasterers,' noting technical differences in the moulding of figures and in compositional layout. Unless additional documents turn up, most likely we will never know for certain who was responsible. The top group is centred around a medallion depicting Minerva Introducing the Arts to Hibernia, while that below shows Apollo as Sun God emerging to scatter the clouds. Incidentally, a third ceiling from Mespil House is now in Áras an Uachtaráin.
Similar uncertainty hangs over the authorship of another ceiling now in Dublin Castle (shown in the middle group of photographs above) but taken from another, long-since demolished building. Tracton House once occupied a site at 40 St Stephen's Green, on the corner with Merrion Row. A bank stands there today and Tracton House was pulled down in 1912 to facilitate the commercial premises' development. The lost building dated from the mid-1740s when the MP, surveyor and director-general of fortifications Arthur Jones-Nevill acquired the site to build himself a fine town residence. In 1765 it passed into the hands of James Dennis who fourteen years later was raised to the peerage as Baron Tracton and from him the property acquired the name by which it was thereafter known. The building subsequently underwent modifications according to changes of ownership and use but one portion remained unaltered: a first-floor back drawing room. This kept intact its decoration as installed at the time of Jones-Nevill. When the whole place was pulled down coincidentally the National Museum was keen to acquire a good example of the Georgian domestic interior and so the room was carefully removed and reinstated in Kildare Street where it stayed for another three decades until once more taken down: it moved to its present location in the 1960s. The main focus of the Tracton House room is its ceiling on which (as J.B. Maguire has discussed in a fascinating article published in the 2012-13 volume of the Journal of the Royal Society of Antiquaries of Ireland) are inscribed two dates: 1746 and 1752. Might it be that the ceiling, the central lozenge of which shows Apollo Musagates opulently lounging in the clouds, a lyre resting on one knee, was decorated in two stages? Could the outer compartments featuring diverse trophies of the arts associated with this god have been created before or after the Apollo, hence the two dates? As with the Mespil House ceilings, it seems unlikely we will ever be able to come up with absolute answers. But in the meantime, a visit to these rooms in Dublin Castle is encouraged, especially as it provides an opportunity to put your head in the clouds and there join the company of classical deities.

They say a picture can say one thousand words.
The veteran Jersey Shore cast member posted the image below late Friday, giving followers a look at what appears to be the reality star out on a date.
"Cheers to the weekend," Farley captioned the intriguing snapshot, which shows her hand holding a glass of red wine while she has lunch with some guy on a terrace overlooking the water.
The 33-year-old MTV personality went ahead later and shared a video on Snapchat that featured a glimpse of this same dude's arm as he and Jenni sat in a car together while "Titanium" played on the radio.
"Jwoww has moved on and is happy," Matarazzo says.
Moved on, she means of course, from estranged husband Roger Mathews.
The former couple shares two children (Meilani, 4, and Greyson, 2, the latter of whom has been diagnosed with Autism) and they got married in October of 2015.
They then announced their separation three years later, seemingly on amicable terms, with Mathews even saying publicly that he planned on winning Jenni back.
But then A LOT changed.
Farley accused Mathews of abuse in late 2018 after the two got into some kind of altercation in the kitchen of their home.
Mathews was led out of the residence that night by the police and was ordered to stay away from Farley and the home for an undetermined period of time.
He then jumped on Instagram and simply went off on his wife, alleging that Farley cared more about her job than about her kids and that she had falsely accused him and is a giant liar and lots of other mean and shocking things.
"You are an abuser to the core, Roger Mathews. You have pushed me. You have shoved me," Farley wrote on her blog in January.
I have been broken down, beaten, hospitalized, traumatized, threatened, degraded, battered, and abused. I got out. I stand strong today. For me. For Greyson. For Meilani.
They will not grow up watching their mother being a victim of domestic violence. I will be a victim no longer.
Roger, know this here and for always – my kindness should never again mistaken for weakness. Remember that. I will not be threatened. I will not be controlled. I will not be broken.
Mathews actually admitted to some physical behavior in an open letter to Farley, but also claimed she was always the instigator.
In short, things have been very ugly between this pair for months.
And there are two small children stuck in between.

Shadab Khan declared fit for World Cup: PCB
Abdul Ghaffar | Dawn.comUpdated May 14, 2019
Shadab Khan, the 20-year-old leg-spinner, will fly to England on May 16. — AFP/File
All-rounder Shadab Khan has been declared fit for the upcoming International Cricket Council (ICC) World Cup after he was successfully treated for an infection, a Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) press release said on Tuesday.
The 20-year-old leg-spinner will fly to England on May 16 and consult Dr Patrick Kennedy before joining the team on May 20. Yasir Shah, who was included in the team after Khan was sidelined, will return to Pakistan, sources within the PCB said.
However, his participation in the pre-World Cup warm up matches against Afghanistan and Bangladesh — scheduled to take place on May 24 and 26 respectively — is subject to his fitness and team management's decision, the press statement read.
"I am delighted to know that the blood tests are negative and I can now return to competitive cricket," the press release quoted Khan as saying. "I was always very confident that I would fully recover from the viral infection and will be available for the World Cup."
He further said: "Having played and won the ICC Champions Trophy 2017, I understand the importance, flavour and glamour of global events and what success in such events mean to the players and the public. I am looking forward to featuring in the World Cup and will leave no stone unturned in helping Pakistan put up a strong show."
Though Khan was included in the final 15-member World Cup squad, his participation was pushed into doubt after he contracted an infection from a dentist's unsterilised instruments. Blood tests confirmed that he had contracted the disease and he was subsequently ruled out from the England tour, where a five-match one day international series is underway.
Meanwhile, chances of Mohammad Amir's inclusion in the World Cup are diminishing after he was diagnosed with chicken pox which makes it unlikely that he would be able to play the ongoing ODI series against England. He was not named in the initially announced World Cup squad but was included in the side to face England in the ODI series which was a gateway to make a case for himself for World Cup selection.
The deadline to make changes in the World Cup lineup is May 23. After the deadline has expired, a player has to obtain a medical certificate from ICC's technical committee before joining the final team.

Brilliant, simply brilliant. Heart beat of the team, Sir Shadab Khan.
J.D
Good news,,pakistan desparetely needed shadab....
Shows the flaws with the PCB. Top cricketing boards even dictate to a player what brand of food they should eat. Medical and dental check ups should be provided for by the PCB.
@Fez, i m so so so happy for him . He is the best wrist spinner and is a wicket taker.
Pakistan quarter final exit. They don't have the fire power in bowling or batting.
Brilliant news. Balances the Pakistani squad perfectly.
@Fez, Maybe they were - a pcb approved dentist
Welcome back to the greenshirts club. As always, keep it up and hang on tough.
@Marcus, There are no quarters finals in this world. Thanks
Can someone please make a sense of having Shahin Afridi in the world cup squad. In last one year, I haven't seen a single limited overs game, be it an international or PSL, where is not been hit 10 runs per over.
John Dobbs
Will make no difference. Pakistan will not make to the top 4. PERIOD.
go to reputable dentist next time.
Awaz....
Shadab Khan is not cured 100% but sustained. Hepatitis C virus is still in his blood but sustained. No, there is no cure. With treatment, some people get to a point that the virus is not detectable in testing. It is still there, The ONLY chance one has at becoming "sustained" (cured) is that with antiviral chemotherapy, ie, Inteferon and Ribavirin. (or equivellent) Sustained means cured in the hepper community. Doctors are more confident in using cured in the term sustained virologic response. Hep C can not be cured. However, with treatment, some people are able to get to a point that their viral load (amount of virus in the blood) is so low that it is not detectable. It is a chronic disease of the liver and there is no cure, or vaccine to prevent it. However, people now live a long time with it as there are many things to treat it and keep it under control, as with HIV. Other team member should be very careful... Good luck.
Maybe he should rethink this the way the current team is playing.
Pakistan need a match winning all-rounder, a strong finisher who play last five to ten over. Unfortunately after Afridi and Razzaq we are unable to produce all-rounder like that. Whish you best of luck Team Pakistan our prayers with you guys, Behave like a champion please.
Vorshal Handa
I hope he is fit to play and sustain the burden of a world cup!

Dear friends, colleagues, and fellow human rights defenders,
As our battle for the promotion and protection of human rights increasingly shifts towards the digital world, the East and Horn of Africa Human Rights Defenders Project decided it was time for our online and offline organisational image to get a makeover. In 2016, we adopted DefendDefenders as the organisation's new name and worked on a new brand and website to reflect the progress the organisation has made in the last 12 years.
Throughout 2016, DefendDefenders has taken stock of the changing political, economic, social and cultural dynamics in the sub-region and worked to develop strategies for human rights defenders (HRDs) to continue their work in this rapidly evolving environment. Today, HRDs face a combination of persisting and growing challenges, which include online censorship, administrative and legislative restrictions on civil society and the media, intimidation, threats, arbitrary arrest, and extrajudicial executions.
The dire situation in two countries in particular shaped the year for all of DefendDefenders' departments: the continuing conflict in South Sudan, and the grave and worsening crisis in Burundi. While we provided support to HRDs from a total of 19 countries, 37% of our protection grants went towards Burundian and 16% towards South Sudanese HRDs respectively.
Our continued advocacy on both of these crises yielded some concrete results through the establishment of the UN Commission on Human Rights in South Sudan in March, and of a UN Commission of Inquiry on Burundi in September. The Advocacy Program attended the 31st, 32nd and 33rd sessions of the UN Human Rights Council, as well as the 58th and 59th sessions of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights with delegations of HRDs to raise awareness of pressing human rights concerns across the sub-region.
Our Capacity Building Program continued to develop new ways of supporting the growing number of HRDs who now find themselves in exile, in need of assistance to navigate complex asylum seeking processes to continue their work on human rights, and to address the trauma of their experiences back home. This work has been informed by our report "Exiled and in Limbo" which provides analysis and recommendations on the situation of exiled HRDs in Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda.
A total number of 357 HRDs and 15 human rights organisations were supported under DefendDefenders' flagship Protection Program in 2016. These interventions included direct financial grants for relocations, family support, emergency evacuations, and capacity building. Other interventions included access to medical treatment, solidarity visits and physical accompaniment, legal support, referrals to other partners, security advice, counselling, internships, and fellowships.
As always, our Technology Program has been busy pioneering new ways to protect HRDs as they work in an increasingly digital environment. This development has both empowered HRDs with strong communication tools and made them vulnerable to new threats, such as online surveillance and Internet shutdowns. Throughout the year, the Technology Program trained and provided tools to 485 HRDs in digital safety,social media, and documentation.
The Pan-African Human Rights Defenders Network (PAHRDN) supported over 200 HRDs and four organisations across the continent. It has continued to look for ways to create linkages between different sub-regions and strengthen Pan-African solidarity, and this year was focused on developing the concept of African Hub Cities. Throughout 2016, PAHRDN consulted with state and non-state actors on the establishment of four African HRD Hub Cities in Kampala (Uganda), Johannesburg/Pretoria (South Africa), Tunis (Tunisia), and Abidjan (Ivory Coast).
DefendDefenders' newly adopted five-year strategic plan focuses on building on our achievements by sharing more widely our lessons learnt, while at the same time innovating and adapting to the challenging environment and shrinking space for human rights activism. We will continue to explore the opportunities presented by the wider global agenda and emerging technological developments to better and more effectively support HRDs.
As the organisation grows and evolves, DefendDefenders is active on many fronts but our goal hasn't changed: to ensure that all HRDs in the sub-region are able to continue their important human rights work in the safest way possible.
On behalf of the entire DefendDefenders team, I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all our partners who have supported us throughout the year including our board members, and look forward to continuing and strengthening our collaboration in 2017.
Yours in solidarity,

I've been to Fairfield many times and I always look forward to being there but last night was the first time that we have played at the Fairfield Arts and Convention Center. It is such an amazing building and also houses the Stephen Sondheim Center for the Performing Arts. We were transfixed by the incredible mosaic piece inlaid into the floor in the lobby and the beautiful quilts hanging from the railings above. Did I bring my camera? Sadly, no. You'll just have to take my word for it.
We were invited to play this time by Father Stephen Page for a benefit for The Greater Jefferson County Habitat for Humanity and the St. Mary's Stained Glass Window Fund. We met the nicest people last night, many of whom had traveled to Ireland and shared some of their family stories with us.
We were just about to finish our first set and I was wishing that we had a dancer because the most fun time that we played these particular reels was at The Riverside Theatre with World Irish Dancing Champion Taylor Best. No sooner had that thought bubble dissipated over my head when a trio of beautiful dancers from the Passion Dance Studio who were performing next door at the Sondheim came up to the stage and asked if they could dance some reels with us. So much fun! I am now convinced that I have magical powers.
As if that weren't enough awesome for one day, during intermission I was gifted with a perfect round loaf of soda bread that I just sliced into for my breakfast this morning.
Fairfield never fails to bring the splendid.
Next up on Tuesday March 13, a performance at my home away from home, the Coralville Public Library! Family Night begins at 6:30 pm.

We've all heard of the cliche in which, in the months leading up to their wedding day, brides take out clippings of their ideal wedding dress, the one they have dreamed of wearing all their life. The truth is that men look forward to their big day as much as women do, with new studies indicating that marriage is definitely on a man's brain when he enters a romantic relationship. If your celebration is taking place in a few months, keeping it stylish and sophisticated is a good idea, so you can cherish your wedding photographs in years to come – but that doesn't mean you have to be boring or typical. Take your cue from these tips for top wedding accessories for grooms and their best men/groomsmen.
Most men opt for a traditional look when it comes to wedding suits, with the ultimate day look still comprising a tailcoat, tie, and matching plain grey or striped pants. One thing that can definitely set you apart and make a nice subject for photographs are designer cufflinks. Brands like Louis Vuitton or Cartier are showing how cool cufflinks can be, and the extent to which they can express a groom's love for fashion. If you are opting for a light suit, engraved white mother of pearl cufflinks can work beautifully, but you can, instead, complement the colors of your corsage with cufflinks in green, or red. Many brands also offer themed cufflinks, in designs inspired on the planets, animals, or sports. Matching cufflinks make a great 'thank you' gift for your groomsmen as well so if you have the budget for it, ensure your entourage is coordinated in this respect.
It is understandable that many fashionable men and women wish to rebel against the traditional plain gold or white gold wedding band. Make your ring bold and beautiful by opting for a blend of materials. Rings these days are jazzed up with everything from diamonds to bright green malachite, or stunning sand inlays, which add a delicate multicolored look to an otherwise 'serious' band. Feel free to wear a ring that bears a different style to that of your bride; this decision is symbolic of the independence that can be celebrated even when one is part of a couple.
A good watch makes a big impression at meetings with clients and even with colleagues in your industry, so if you're planning on buying one soon, make sure to do so in time for your wedding. In some countries in Europe (such as Spain), the future bride often gives her groom a watch as a future wedding gift. Mention this to your bride and see if she thinks it's as good an idea as you do!
Find ways that you can express your taste and love for fashion. Brightly printed socks make a great accessory that easily be adopted by all members of the groom's party. Salvatore Ferragamo, known for its artistic, bright ties, make gorgeous socks with subtle prints that suit a dark looking suit to perfection.
Accessories are one of the most interesting ways to reveal your personality, even if you opt for a traditional suit. In addition to ensuring your suit is bespoke and in the right cut and style for the season, take your time and research into designer accessories for you and your best friends. A vintage corsage, different eyeglass frames, or swish hairstyle can really make a difference and show the extent to which style is an individual matter, always.

Poll of Western and Asian Publics Finds Criticism of Chinese Policy on Tibet
Methodology statement (PDF)
A poll of three western and three Asian countries finds widespread criticism of Chinese policies toward Tibet. This critical view is held by large majorities in all three western countries–the United States (74%), France (75%) and Britain (63%).
Views are more varied among the Asian countries. An overwhelming 84 percent of South Koreans are critical, as is a modest majority of Indonesians (54%, with only 12% endorsing China's position). However among Indians views are nearly evenly divided, with 37 percent siding with critics, 33 percent siding with China and 31 percent not taking a position.
These findings are from a poll conducted by WorldPublicOpinion.org, a project of research centers from around the world, managed by the Program on International Policy Attitudes at the University of Maryland. Polling was conducted in France, Great Britain, India, Indonesia, South Korea and the United States, before the recent protests and violence in Tibet.
Respondents were presented the issue by hearing a description of both the position of critics of China's policy on Tibet and the position of China. They were told that:
"Critics of China say that it should allow Tibet to have autonomy, to preserve its traditional culture and to allow the Dalai Lama to return to Tibet.
China says that Tibet has long been part of China, that Tibet has benefited from modernization, and that the Dalai Lama should not be allowed to return because he aims to split Tibet from China."
On average across all six countries, 64 percent said their view was closer to the critics of China, while seventeen percent said their views were closer to those of China.
Steven Kull, director of the WorldPublicOpinion.org comments, "While China's image in the world is generally moderately positive, it appears that China's image is being harmed by its policies on Tibet. The recent violence in Tibet may mean that China will face increasing criticism."
In India, views of China's Tibet policy varied significantly by region. Those nearer to Tibet, in the country's northern and eastern regions, are much more critical of China than were Indians elsewhere. In the east fifty-seven percent are critical of China (compared to 33% favoring China's view) and in the north where the Dalai Lama is currently in residence 44 percent are critical (compared to 16%). However in the west a 54 percent majority favors China's view with just 17 percent being critical. In the south a plurality of 36 percent is critical (compared to 29%).
In nearly every country polled, criticism of China is higher among those with greater education. The one exception is India, where attitudes vary little with greater education. On average across all six countries, a bare majority of 52 percent is critical of China among those with less than a high school education, rising progressively to 78 percent critical among college graduates.
Younger people (age 18-29) are a bit less likely than average to side with critics of China (59%) while those aged 45-59 are most likely to do so (71%).
The poll of 4,774 respondents was conducted January 18 through February 29. The margin of error for each country ranged from 3.1 to 4.1 percent.

Police are appealing for witnesses to a hit-and-run in Surbiton on Monday.
The victim, a 29-year-old, was in Victoria Road shortly after 3pm when a vehicle collided with him and then drove off. It was found abandoned further along the road. A man in his 20s was arrested, after he attended a south London police station the same day, on suspicion of dangerous driving and failing to stop at the scene of the accident. He was released on bail to a date in October.
The London Ambulance Service attended the scene as well as an air ambulance which landed on top of Sainsbury's multi-storey car park. The pedestrian was taken to hospital where his condition was described as non life-threatening.
The Met Police's south west division is investigating the incident and is appealing for witnesses to contact them.
"We have spoken to a number of people at the scene, but we know there are others who saw the incident, or the immediate aftermath, and have not yet spoken to police," said Detective Inspector Andy Griffin, from South West CID.
"We would urge any witnesses, or anyone who believes they may have any information, to come forward and speak to us. Additionally, we would ask anyone with a dashcam who was in the area at the time, to check whether they inadvertently captured anything that could help our investigation."
Anyone with information should call 101 and quote reference number 4360/14Sep. Alternatively contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Epione
In Greek mythology, Epione was described as the goddess of soothing of pain. Epione was the wife of Asclepius (god of the medical art).
Epione had five daughters: Hygieia, Panacea, Aceso, Iaso, and Aglaea, and three sons: Machaon, Podaleirios and Telesphoros.

In Greek mythology, Iaso was described as the goddess of recovery. She was the daughter of Asclepius and Epione, sister of Aceso, Hygieia, Panacea, and Aegle.
In Greek mythology, Aceso was described as the goddess of healing process. She was the daughter of Asclepius and Epione, sister of Iaso, Hygieia, Panacea, and Aegle.
In Greek myhtology, Pyrrha was described as the daughter of Epimetheus and Pandora and wife of Deucalion.
Deucalion and Pyrrha....
When Zeus decided to end the Bronze Age with the great deluge, Deucalion and his wife, Pyrrha, were the only survivors. Even though he was imprisoned, Prometheus who could see the future and had foreseen the coming of this flood told his son, Deucalion, to build an ark and, thus, they survived. During the flood, they landed on Mount Parnassus, the only place spared by the flood.
Once the deluge was over and the couple were on land again, Deucalion consulted an oracle of Themis about how to repopulate the earth. He was told to throw the bones of his mother behind his shoulder. Deucalion and Pyrrha understood the "mother" to be Gaia, the mother of all living things, and the "bones" to be rocks. They threw the rocks behind their shoulders, which soon began to lose their hardness and change form. Their mass grew greater, and the beginnings of human form emerged. The parts that were soft and moist became skin, the veins of the rock became people's veins, and the hardest parts of the rocks became bones. The stones thrown by Pyrrha became women; those thrown by Deucalion became men.
Deucalion and Pyrrha .......
Deucalion and Pyrrha had three sons, Hellen, Amphictyon, Orestheus; and three daughters Protogeneia, Pandora 2 and Thyia.

In Greek mythology, Pelias was described as the king of Iolcus, and son of Tyro and sea god, Poseidon. Pelias was either married to Anaxibia, daughter of Bias, or Phylomache, daughter of Amphion. He was the father of Acastus, Pisidice, Alcestis, Pelopia3, Hippothoe, Amphinome, Evadne, Asteropeia, and Antinoe.
Pelias and Jason
According to Greek legend, Tyro loved Enipeus, a river god. She pursued Enipeus, who refused her advances. One day, Poseidon, filled with lust for Tyro, disguised himself as Enipeus and from their union were born Pelias and Neleus, twin boys. Tyro exposed her sons on a mountain to die, but they were found by a herdsman who raised them as his own. In other version, Tyro revealed she was pregnant by the god, her father Salmoneus refused to believe her, instead suspecting his wicked brother Sisyphus was involved. So he commanded her to expose the children as soon as they were born. Tyro later married Cretheus, King of Iolkos, and she bore him three sons (Aison, Amythaon and, Pheres)
When Pelias and Neleus reached adulthood, they found Tyro and sought revenge against Tyro stepmother Sidero, for mistreated their mother. Sidero hid in a temple to Hera but Pelias killed her anyway, causing Hera's undying hatred of Pelias. Pelias was power-hungry and he wished to gain dominion over all of Thessaly. To this end, that he banished Neleus and Pherês, and locked Aeson in the dungeons in Iolcus . While in the dungeons, Aeson married and had several children, most famously, Jason. Aeson sent Jason away from Iolcus in fear that Pelias would kill him as an heir to the throne. Jason grew in the care of Chiron the centaur, on Mount Pelium, to be educated while Pelias, paranoid that he would be overthrown, was warned by an oracle to beware a man wearing one sandal.
When Jason was 20 years old, an oracle ordered him to dress as a Magnesian and head to the Iolcan court. While traveling Jason lost his sandal crossing the muddy Anavros river while helping an old woman (Hera in disguise). Pelias was presiding over a sacrifice to Poseidon with several neighboring kings in attendance. Among the crowd stood a tall youth in leopard skin with only one sandal. Pelias recognized that Jason was his nephew. He could not kill him because prominent kings of the Aeolian family were present. Instead, he asked Jason: "What would you do if an oracle announced that one of your fellow-citizens were destined to kill you?" Jason replied that he would send him to go and fetch the Golden Fleece, not knowing that Hera had put those words in his mouth.
Jason (lower right), returning to his hometown, is recognized during a festival by his uncle Pelias
Jason learned later that Pelias was being haunted by the ghost of Phrixus. Phrixus had fled from Orchomenus riding on a divine ram to avoid being sacrificed and took refuge in Colchis where he was later denied proper burial. According to an oracle, Iolcus would never prosper unless his ghost was taken back in a ship, together with the golden ram's fleece. This fleece now hung from a tree in the grove of the Colchian Ares, guarded night and day by a dragon that never slept. Pelias swore before Zeus that he would give up the throne at Jason's return while expecting that Jason's attempt to steal the Golden Fleece would be a fatal enterprise. However,
Jason gathered a party of heroes, collectively called the Argonauts, and they all set sail on Jason's ship, the Argo. They successfully managed to retrieve the Golden Fleece (Goddess Hera acted in Jason's favour during the journey) and bring it back to Pelias. (see The Quest for the Golden Fleece.)
Medea conspired Pelias daughter to kill him
When they returned, Pelias refused to give his throne to Jason, so Medea, the daughter of King Aeetes who fell in love with Jason and followed him, made a plan to have Pelias killed by his daughters. She said she could give the youth back to anyone by cutting them up and boiling them. The daughters believed her after seeing a demonstration with an old ram; excited, they cut their father to pieces and threw him in a pot. Of course, Pelias did not come back to life. According to other version, Medea cut the father of Jason into pieces, and indeed brought him back to life at a much younger age. She then promised she would do the same for Pelias, but after his daughters killed him, she simply ignored them. Because of this, Medea and Jason were banished from Iolcus, as murderers.
Enipeus
In Greek mythology, Enipeus was described as the river god, whose waters were the most beautiful of any that flow on earth. Enipeus was the son of Oceanus and Tethys.
River God - Enpeus
Enipeus was loved by a mortal woman named Tyro, daughter of Salmoneus. Tyro pursued Enipeus, who refused her advances. On day, Poseidon ,the sea god, filled with lust for Tyro, disguised himself as Enipeus and from their union was born Pelias and Neleus, twins boys.
The Enipeas or Enipeus is a river in central Greece, tributary of the Pineios. Its source is in the northern part of Phthiotis, on the plateau of Domokos.
It course runs through several of the tetrades of ancient Thessaly, from Achaia Phthiotis in South through Phthia to finally flow into the Pineios in Histiaeotis.
In Greek Mythology, Midas was described as a wealthy but effeminate king of Phrygia. Midas was described as the son of Gordius (according to some versions by Cybele). In some versions, Midas wealth was alluded to in a story connected with his childhood, for it was said that while yet a child, ants used to carry grains of wheat into his mouth to indicate that one day he should be the richest of all mortals.
According to some versions, when Dionysus, god of wine, was leading his army into India, his adviser and instructor Silenus wandered astray and came to King Midas, who entertained him generously, and gave him a guide to help him find Dionysus. (In some versions, it was described that Midas captured Silenus by mixing wine to the waters of a spring called the Spring of Midas.)
Because of this favor, Dionysus gave Midas the privilege of asking for whatever he wanted. Midas then asked that whatever he touched should become gold.
Midas was particularly excited with his new power and started turning trees and rocks into gold, on his way back home. When he reached his palace, he asked his servants to prepare a grand feast, but to his despair, he soon realized that the food he touched also turned into gold and would soon die of starvation.
Midas with his daughter
Even his daughter turned into gold when she greeted her father. Midas, realising that his wish was actually foolish, prayed to Dionysus, who told him to wash in the river Pactolus; everything he would place in the river after that would also turn back to normal. Midas went straight to the river and felt his powers leave him and flow into the waters. In fact, the sands of the river turned gold, explaining the rich minerals that were found in the river by the ancient inhabitants of the area. Midas, relieved of his bane, decided to deny all riches and retreated to the countryside and became a follower of the god Pan.
According to Greek legend, music contest between Apollo and Pan (Apollo's lyre and Pan's reeds), and the mountain god Tmolus who decided in favor of Apollo. All approved Tmolus' judgement, but Midas called it unjust, and then Apollo punished him in that he would wear the ears of an ass.
God Apollo and Midas
Midas, who after suffering such a disgrace was quite concerned about concealing his condition, started to wear a purple turban to cover his new ears. But the slave who trimmed his hair discovered his master's new anatomy; and since he was eager to tell it out, but all the same he did not dare to reveal the embarrassing secret, he dug a hole in the ground and into it he whispered about his master's ears. Then he filled up the hole again, covering the evidence of his voice. But whispering reeds grew up in the spot, and when they came to their full size, they betrayed to the wind the truth about Midas' ears, making it known to the whole world.
Midas is said to have died, after drinking the blood of a bull, at the time of a Cimmerian invasion of Phrygia.
