George Bernard Shaw have said that, "There is no sincerer love than the love of street food". For food lovers, a sweet smile comes to their face when they get across the local food. Indian streets are famous for tasty and budget worthy food. The various cuisines from the different parts of the world have uniqueness in their taste. The local foods are cheap and delightful. Each city has its speciality of local food that will give you the indication that is followed in that particular city.
If you wish to torment your taste buds and want to taste something different from your daily routine diet, then you should definitely try they local food of Aamchi Mumbai. The eccentric street food makes Mumbai a bubbly city. Kheema Pav at Gulshan-e-Iran is a famous Mughlai specality and adding to this Rabdi Kulfi and Firni for dessert adds taste to your stomach. White Biryani at Noor Mohmaddi during Ramadan is the best place to have street food. Samosa with Chola at Guru Kripa is a must to be experimented who love to explore the street foods at Mumbai. The Ultimate Chinese Thali at Sahiban at Worli will surprise you with its soup, fried rice, Manchurian and Ice Tea.
The opulent kinds of chaat, the ghee-dripping baati and the creamy goodness of the malaiyo which is winter speciality of Banaras prepared by flavouring milk, Banaras is a paradise for food lovers. In the breakfast adventure you will have crispy and hot jalebis and the other way to have breakfast is to have a kulhhad of cardamom flavoured lassi that has a few drops of rose-water dropped into it. To have a mixture of sweet and spicy,you can try the chaat like aloo tikki, pani poori and papdi chaat and the Tamatar Chaat. The safed makhan toast is unique to Banaras. For non-veg lovers, they should not miss the chickem tikka and Achari Murgi at Hotel Lallan.
Each Delhiite and the outsiders who visit Delhi melts by seeing the street food of Delhi. It is a melting point for food lovers. The paranthas of Delhi is a perfect start for morning breakfast. Paranthe Vali Gali in Chandni Chowk is famous for its variety full paranthas. Superstar SRK loved to have paranthas at Mool chand Paranthe vala. The talk about local food will remain incomplete without the description of chaat. The Bittu Tikki Vala in Rajouri garden main market is a hub of best chaats. Tandoori Chiken topped with such at Moti Mahal Restaurant, Daryaganj and HaveMore at Pandara Road is a must to be tried. The punjabi style chole bhature accompanied with lassi at Sitaram Diwan Chand in Pahar ganj and Chache Di Hatti at Kamla Nagar.

Savory Shredded Buffalo Tacos. Every now and then, my local Whole Foods Market carries a buffalo shoulder roast. On my latest shopping trip, I was able to find TWO buffalo roasts on sale. Each was about 2 pounds. Normally, I would make the roast with mashed potatoes and gravy. Being the Tex Mex food lover that I am, I thought that making Shredded Buffalo Tacos would be a good use for one of the roasts. And they were some of the best tacos I ever ate!
As I've already mentioned, my husband and I like to eat healthier options when available. We love to eat shredded meat in tacos. Buffalo, or bison, is a leaner meat than beef. Why not braise and shred the meat for a taco feast?
Make some fixin's to go along with the shredded buffalo tacos. Shred some Monterey Jack cheese. Chop up some lettuce. Dice some tomatoes and add some chopped cilantro. Make some of My Favorite Guacamole and set out some sour cream.
I started out by seasoning the roast with salt and pepper. Then, after melting some butter in a dutch oven, I seared and browned it on all sides. I removed the roast from the dutch oven and let it sit a few minutes while I added some chopped onion, carrot, and bell pepper to the dutch oven.
I returned the roast to the pan. Added some beef stock and some water along with some diced tomatoes, chili powder and cumin. Let that all simmer for a few hours while the meat was breaking down. Continued to add more water or broth since buffalo is leaner than beef, and stirred so the meat would not burn. When the meat was soft and falling apart, I shredded the meat with a fork and set aside.
Sauteed some chopped onion in a skillet in some olive oil. Added the shredded buffalo meat and some canned tomatoes and green chiles.
Warmed it all through until all the liquid evaporated, and SERVED with the fixin's. Use this filling in enchiladas and on crispy tostadas instead of tacos. The shredded buffalo meat taco filling works well on my Tex Mex Buffet — put in the "taco meat" section!
1. Season all sides of the buffalo roast with salt and pepper.
2. In a large dutch oven, on a stove burner, melt the butter and oil over medium high heat, but not so hot that the butter and oil start to smoke.
3. Add the buffalo roast and quickly sear all sides until browned but not cooked through.
4. Remove the roast to a holding plate.
5. Add the chopped onion, carrot, and bell pepper to the dutch oven.
6. Saute the vegetables over medium heat until they soften slightly.
7. Return the buffalo roast to the dutch oven.
8. Add the diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, beef or chicken stock/broth, and 1 cup of water.
9. Bring the mixture to a boil.
10. Reduce heat to low.
11. Cover and let simmer for 3 – 4 hours until the meat begins to fall apart, stirring occasionally so it doesn't burn. The vegetables will likely break down to almost nothing. Add the additional cup of water and more stock/broth if the mixture starts to get too dry before the meat breaks down.
12. While the meat is breaking down during the cooking process, use two forks to shred the meat even further.
13. When the meat is completely shredded, set it aside, covered and keep warm. You could also stop at this step and let the meat rest overnight in the refrigerator.
14. To ready the meat for tacos, warm the olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
15. Saute the onions in the olive oil until softened.
16. Add the shredded buffalo meat to the onions and stir to combine.
17. Add the canned tomatoes and green chiles to the buffalo mixture, stir, and simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated. Season with additional salt and pepper to your liking.
Makes 12 shredded buffalo tacos. Serve with the fixin's and some warmed refried beans on the side. This dish pairs nicely with some red sangria and your favorite Mexican beer.
Variations: You could use a beef roast if you cannot find a buffalo roast in your area. You could omit the tomatoes and green chiles but I think it adds just the right amount of heat. If you happen to have leftovers or don't want to use all of the meat in tacos, before adding the tomatoes and green chiles, you can use the shredded buffalo meat as a filling for tostadas or enchiladas or you can add some barbecue sauce and serve on a bun for a tasty sandwich. I have even added shredded buffalo meat to my favorite Mac and Cheese recipe for a decadent meal.
And here's my Tex Mex Buffet and Taco Bar map just in case you're throwing a party!

Small metal objects can be attracted to the magnet. These objects can move at speeds which can harm objects which get in the way.
Credit Cards with magnetic strips can be erased.
Watches and heart pace makers can cease operation in the magnet field. They may not start working when removed from the magnetic field.
Televisions and computer monitors are distorted in the fringe magnetic fields. These items can be affected for a considerable distance in the horizontal direction and for one or two floors above and below the magnet.
It should be noted that if the NMR magnet can affect objects at these distances, then movement of magnetic objects at these distances can affect the NMR magnet. This can cause field shifts larger than the NMR system's lock can correct and/or the loss of magnet homogeneity.
The problems these stray magnetic fields can cause are often made worse by the reactions of the people working in these stray fields. To my knowledge, no scientific studies have shown any harm to biological objects caused by static stray magnetic fields, even very strong fields like inside an MRI unit. However, the emotional reaction of many people to finding out they are in a stray magnetic field can be "non-linear". Often these are the same people strapping magnets on their own or their horse's body (Magnetic Therapy for Horses) for the "beneficial" and therapeutic effects of magnetic fields. Take this "non-linear" attitude and combine the litigious nature of today's society and people and organizations can tend to overreact.
The first approach many groups make to addressing the logical and illogical issues that the stray magnetic field can cause is to put a steel plate between the magnet and the area where they do not want any stray magnetic field. This can often make the stray magnetic field in the target area stronger. Below we will attempt to explain without rigorous mathematical treatment why this is. While making this explanation, we will cover topics which will lead the reader to a more complete understanding of the problems associated with magnetic shielding.
When talking about magnetic field strength, it is helpful to think in the terms of magnetic flux lines. The more flux lines, the stronger the magnetic field. The straighter the flux lines, the more homogeneous the magnetic field. When we have a magnet, we have two magnetic poles — the north pole and the south pole. With a super-conducting magnet, we will define of the top of the magnet as being the north pole and the bottom of the magnet as being the south pole. When we have a magnet, we have flux lines coming out of the north pole (top of the magnet) and moving through the channel of least resistance to the south pole of the magnet (bottom of the magnet). The path of least resistance can be a vacuum or in our case usually air. If the magnet is isolated with only air surrounding it, then the flux lines make large sweeping curves out the top of the magnet, arcing around the side of the magnet and back to the bottom of the magnet. All flux lines leaving the top of the magnet need to return to the bottom of the magnet.
Magnetic metals like steel have a lower resistance to the passage of flux lines than does air. Therefore, all the flux lines on their way from the top of the magnet will prefer to move through steel rather than through air. This means that any flux line which intersects a steel object will proceed through the steel object until it needs to exit the steel object to return to the bottom of the magnet. Since the flux lines like to move through the steel more than through the air, all the flux lines possible tend to collect in the steel object for as long as possible. This will be true as long as the steel remains out of magnetic saturation. The thicker the steel the more flux lines can be captured before the steel object becomes saturated. The steel object acts like a "flux channel", where it grabs all the flux lines it can and channels them down to where they need to exit to get back to the magnet.
Another factor complicating this process is somewhat counter intuitive. A piece of steel is attracted to the area where the magnetic field has the strongest gradient (most inhomogeneous), not the strongest absolute field value. An interesting example (don't try this at home!) is to drop a nail into a super-conducting magnet. The nail will be strongly pulled into the top of the magnet and will fall freely through the homogeneous region of the magnet and stick near the bottom exit port of the magnet. If you take a wooden stick and push up on the nail it will move freely back through the homogeneous region of the magnet but will be very difficult to push out the top. This is because, even though the field in stronger in the center of the magnet, it has less magnetic gradient in the homogeneous center of the magnet than near the ends of the magnet where the flux lines spread out on their individual return path arcs.
So, in our example of placing a steel plate between the magnet and the area we desire to shield from the magnetic field, the ends of the steel plate will have all the flux lines possible trying to get into it, traveling down to where they must exit to get back to the magnet (the flux channel) and exiting in a big bunch. Remembering that the more flux lines, the stronger the field, what we have accomplished with our actions is to make the magnetic field near the ends of the steel plate stronger (collected flux lines) and more inhomogeneous (bent more). Both of these points make the stray magnetic field more of a problem near the ends of the steel plate. One way to overcome this problem is to make the steel plate much larger that the desired area to shield. As the dimensions of the steel plate get larger, the larger the area of the lowest magnetic field behind the steel plate.
A more practical way to address this issue is to make a steel box totally surrounding the magnet. Then the flux lines going out the top of the magnet would enter the steel flux channel on the top and move through the flux channel on the side to the flux channel on the bottom and back to the magnet. The area outside the steel box would have a very low residual magnetic field. One problem with this approach is that the smaller the box you build around the magnet, the thicker the steel has to be to stay out of magnetic saturation. Very close in, this can take tons of steel to shield a small magnet and lots more to shield a big magnet. So to avoid having to use such thick steel, you move farther away from the magnet and make the walls of the room into a magnetic shield. Of course, the smaller the room, the thicker the steel required and the more effect opening the steel door in such a room would have on the magnet itself.
At this point, it is appropriate to talk about the forces on the magnet itself. When a steel object is attracted to a magnet, we need to remember that the magnet itself is being attracted to the steel object with the same force. The force of this mutual attraction is proportional to the size of the steel object and its distance from the magnet. If a big steel object gets near a super-conducting magnet, it can pull the magnet over. Even if this is avoided, the magnet inside the dewar can have a lot of force on it. With many super-conducting magnets, the internal supports in the dewar are not very strong. The magnet is often hung from the top with the minimal amount of materials and held in vertical alignment with small struts. Both the material to hang the magnet and the struts are as small as possible to avoid thermal leaks to the outside world. These thermal leaks would lead to higher helium boil-off. Since the internal supporting material is so weak, a metal object nearby can cause enough force to alter or break the magnet supports. This is an irreversible process leading to much higher boil-off and the need to disassemble the magnet for repair.
So when shielding a magnet, do two things; 1) keep the steel as far from the magnet as practical and 2) keep the shielding as symmetrical around the magnet as possible. The reason for the symmetry is that a force from one side can be balanced by a force from the other side. This symmetry also makes it easier to shim the main magnetic field. When thinking about symmetry, don't forget the distance from the top of the magnet to steel objects above and the distance from the bottom of the magnet to similar steel objects below.
If one of the problems you are trying to deal with in an NMR facility is the distortion of televisions and computer monitors, then a much more cost effective way to deal with this issue than shielding the entire magnet room is to build a shielding box for the monitor. This can be a sheet metal box with five sides where the front of the monitor faces the open side of the box. Low cost steel plates can be bolted to angle iron and painted to construct the box (keep such a box from getting so close to the magnet that it gets pulled in). Keep at least one inch of space between the box and the monitor for ventilation. With some larger monitors a small ventilation fan is required to keep the monitor cool enough for operation. Boxes such as these are amazingly effective at keeping monitors working without distortion.
A company called Field Management Services sells a monitor shield called JitterBox.
What we have discussed here so far has been passive shielding of magnetic fields. Today many NMR and magnet vendors are providing active magnet shielding. This is done by building a second magnet on the outside of the main magnet with a field of the opposite sign, thereby canceling the external magnetic field. Here the outside magnet acts as the other pole with the top of the outside magnet being the south pole and the bottom of the magnet being the north pole. This is a really good flux channel! Obviously, if the shielding magnet and the main magnet were of the same size and strength, the net field inside and outside the magnet would be zero. To avoid this problem the outside magnet is bigger in size and therefore can operate at a smaller field strength. This is because the field at some distance from the magnet is less than the maximum field strength and it is this field which needs to be cancelled. Using active shielding always means that some of the main magnet's field is being cancelled, so this technique can only be used when you have field strength to burn.

Upon successful completion of four years of graduate professional education, podiatric medical graduates participate in post-graduate education and training opportunities.
Post-graduate training provides an orderly progression from student doctor to competent, independent clinician. Residency programs expose the podiatric medical graduate to structured learning environments and experiences in general medical patient management along with training in the diagnosis and care of podiatric pathology. Similar to other medical specialties, this training process occurs in teaching hospitals or academic health centers throughout the country. There is one type of podiatric residency program requiring three to four years of training.
Approval by the Council on Podiatric Medical Education (CPME) of the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA) is the recognition accorded a podiatric residency program that meets the educational standards established by the profession. The primary purpose of approval is to promote and assure high quality education and continuous improvement in educational programs.
Residency Placement: 2020 Residency Cycle
The podiatric medicine and surgery residency is a resource-based, competency-driven, assessment-validated program that consists of three years of postgraduate training in inpatient and outpatient medical and surgical management. The sponsoring institution provides training resources that facilitate the resident's sequential and progressive achievement of specific competencies.
The Council on Podiatric Medical Education (CPME) approves residency programs in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery Residency with or without the added credential in Reconstructive Rearfoot/Ankle Surgery (PMSR and PMSR/RRA).
Podiatric Medicine and Surgery Residency (PMSR) – A PMSR resident is trained in the breadth of podiatric healthcare. Completion of the residency leads to the following certification pathways — the American Board Podiatric Medicine (ABPM) and foot surgery of the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery (ABFAS).
Podiatric Medicine and Surgery Residency with a credential in Reconstructive Rearfoot/Ankle Surgery (PMSR/RRA). In addition to the standard Podiatric Medicine and Surgery Residency, the added credential in Reconstructive Rearfoot/Ankle Surgery (PMSR/RRA) is available with some residencies. These residencies can provide a sufficient volume and diversity in reconstructive rearfoot and ankle procedures and are approved grant an added credential in RRA. Completion of a Podiatric Medicine and Surgery Residency with the added credential leads to the RRA certification pathway of ABFAS.
For further descriptions of these training programs, see http://www.cpme.org under Residencies and Approval Information for Residencies. Look within the CPME: 320 Document under Standard 6.0.
State Licensure Requirements
A license to practice podiatric medicine is issued by individual states. Requirements for licensure and the scope of practice vary from state to state. Reciprocity is available among some of the states. Licensure (training or full) may be required for residency training. The majority of states require residency or other post-graduate training prior to full licensure. As of November 2013, 92% of states required post-graduate training. For the most current information regarding state licensure, contact the individual state licensing board. Contact information by state is provided by the Federation of Podiatric Medical Boards at www.fpmb.org/memberboards.asp.

There are a number of health professionals who may have a role in your eye health or vision care.
Ophthalmologists (specialist eye doctors) and optometrists are the two main health professions specialised in the health of the eye. They have a specific role in the diagnosis, treatment and management of vision and eye problems.
The work of optometrists and ophthalmologists may be supported by other professionals, such as orthoptists or ophthalmic nurses.
Your GP, pharmacist or local practice nurse can also play an important role in supporting your eye health. If required, your GP or optometrist can refer you to an ophthalmologist.
There are many services and supports that can help people experiencing vision loss make the most of their vision and adjust to vision impairment by learning new ways to carry out everyday tasks.
Finally, a wide range of organisations can also provide information and support on eye health and vision care.

Cardinal Jozef Glemp, who headed the Roman Catholic Church in Poland for more than two decades, has died at 83.
He became cardinal in 1981 and held the post during most of the papacy of John Paul II, the first Polish pope.
He also saw the end of Communist rule in 1989, after years of church opposition before and in conjunction with the Solidarity trade union.
He stepped down in 2004, and had been ill for some years, having been diagnosed with lung cancer.
He died in hospital in Warsaw.
When the Communist authorities banned Solidarity and imposed martial law in December 1981, Jozef Glemp had only been cardinal for a few months, and had been made a bishop only two years earlier.
He made a public appeal, saying: "I ask you, even if I have to do it with naked feet and on my knees: do not start killing each other."
Some anti-government activists were critical of his stance, seeing it as too close to the government line. Cardinal Glemp said that he "wanted to calm things".
"Glemp led the Church in a period which was extremely difficult for Poland," said Catholic KAI news agency's chief editor Marcin Przeciszewski.
Later, in post-Communist Poland, he tried to reduce mistrust between Catholics and Jews, making public apologies for historical acts of anti-Semitism.

A: If you are using Ubuntu try to install following lib file
sudo apt-get install libpq-dev

and then gem install pg
worked for me.

A: for those who reached this by google search
if libpq-dev didnt work
or threw another errors
i hade the same problem
try upgrading your system
and get the ruby div-kit
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install ruby1.9.1-dev

then reboot
after this just try again
...

A: You have to do this
sudo apt-get install libgmp-dev libpq-dev

and then
gem install pg

After a slight detour to Santiago, Chille due to bad weather, our flight eventually made it to Buenos Aires. It was a long 20 hour journey. We made our way to the hostel only to discover that it was full of weirdos and had the atmosphere of a wet blanket. We were absolutely exhausted but managed to drag ourselves out for a delicious Argentinian steak and a couple of cervezas! Spent the next couple of days exploring the city and eating more delicious tender mouth watering steaks. Initially the weather wasn't the best and it wasn't until the sun came out that we realised what a great place Buenos Aires really is. It feels extremely European and had a very modern mall although is still quite the mix of rich and poor.
A quick look at a map and a calendar revealed that we had a quite a large distance to cover and not a lot of time to make it to Rio de Janerio in time for Carnival. As a result, we cut our time in Buenos Aires a bit short (we fly out of there at the end of our trip so we will have more time to explore later) and jumped on an overnight bus to Iguazu Falls. The bus took about 20 hours but was pure luxury with wide seats that folded almost flat to form beds and multiple hot meals were served including vino!
Iguazu Falls were absolutely spectacular and make Niagra Falls look like Bar Beach storm water drain in comparison! The falls are on the border of Argentina and Brazil and we viewed them from both sides which are equally picturesque and amazing. The Brazilian side allows you to get up and close to the base of the falls while the Argentinian side allows you to walk over the top of the falls on a suspended platform. Desmond the Kangaroo came out to play and received a warm reception from the crowd. Whilst in Iguazu we stayed at this crazy hostel that was an old converted casino complete with pool and multiple bars. We got amongst the atmosphere and met some cool people, ensuring we took note of their travel recommendations for our upcoming journey.

I have a strong background in oral and public history. I am especially interested in oral history and material/visual culture as it relates to memory and nostalgia. My research looks at how Old West tourism in California reflects and even shapes history and identity in the state. For me, public history means bringing history to the public in easily-digestible but thought-provoking ways. I love the challenge of collaboration and creativity that public history provides, and that it inspires activism and community cohesion in ways that few other fields can.

Women's History /
Pioneer Women: The Lives of Women on the Frontier
By Linda Peavy and Ursula Smith. Softcover, 144 pages.
Pioneer Women provides a rare look at frontier life through the eyes of the pioneer women who settled the American West. Linda Peavy and Ursula Smith vividly describe the hardships such women endured journeying west and making homes and communities on the frontier. Their hopes and fears and, most of all, their courage in the face of adversity are revealed in excerpts from journals, letters, and oral histories. Illustrated with a fascinating collection of seldom-seen photographs,
Pioneer Women reveals the faces as well as the voices of women who lived on the frontier. The authors portray a wide variety of women, from those who found liberty and confidence in undertaking "men's work" to those who felt burdened by the wind, the weather, and the struggle of frontier life.

This is the perfect opportunity to test an Obsession telescope. Better yet, if you purchase an Obsession we can deliver it at the star party and you'll save the shipping and crating costs. In addition the scope is fully assembled and you'll get hands on instructions in use and optical collimation.
Attending a national star party is a great opportunity to use an Obsession telescope, learn about big scopes or to take delivery on your very own. If you intend to purchase an Obsession for delivery at either star party please send me an email as soon as possible as we have limited transport capacity.
In early 2019 we are producing ten 20" f/4 Classic and twenty 22" f/4.2 Ultra Compact telescopes.
Newly completed 22" UC mirror cells show here.
In 2018 we completed a production run of 110 telescopes.
All Classic and Ultra Compact 15", 18", 20" and 22" Obsessions use fused quartz (also called fused silica) for the primary mirror glass. Fused quartz is glass consisting of silica in non-crystalline form. It differs from traditional glasses in containing no other ingredients, which are typically added to glass to lower the melt temperature. The optical and thermal properties of fused quartz are superior to those of other types of glass due to its purity. Its low coefficient of thermal expansion makes it one of the finest materials for precision mirror substrates. Fused quartz is standard on all our 15", 18" and 20" scopes, both Ultra Compact and Classic models. Nobody else offers this level of quality.
In 1987 I introduced the Classic Obsession 20" at Astrofest. Since then it has been the most imitated large aperture telescope in the world. I am still am obsessed with deep sky astronomy and producing the finest instruments possible. I've built over 2,500 Obsession telescopes, wrote the number one selling book on building big Dobs, started the Ultra Compact line of scopes in 2008, and provided nearly all the design innovations that everyone else imitates. Choose from the warm and beauty of the Classic Obsession or the modern Ultra Compact telescope. Either choice is the best instrument available anywhere at any price. An Obsession Telescope will provide you with a lifetime of observing fun.
18 Classic arriving for Ron Lewis in Brandon VT.
Everyone who buys one of your scopes no doubt tells you how amazing these scopes are—and I'm no exception. Big, fast, and it glides. A friend who was here from Korea overnight will probably be selling one of his motorcycles when he rotates home in order to finance one of your scopes. He has an 8" Dob but after looking at M42 under our stable Florida winter skies for 30 minutes through the Obsession using a Tele Vue 21 mm Ethos and a 13mm Ethos he's got his eye on at least a 12.5-incher. Amazing views!
Ultra res 32K encoders standard with all Argo Navis and ServoCAT orders.
Already have an Obsession scope? Swap out your old 8K or 10K encoders with ultra res 32000 count encoders. More than three times the resolution for improved targeting and tracking.
That's Tom Miller, Obsession owner at the 25" eyepiece.
I have been having a ball using my Classic 18 to sketch. My Classic 18" is what got me started sketching in the first place. When I got my scope I was able, for the first time, to see detail in objects I had seen many times. But, the thrill was usually: "Wow, I actually found it." The faint fuzzies were just that, faint fuzzies. The thrill of actually seeing detail had me so excited I was running all over the sky, as rapidly as a 6 year-old to a Christmas tree. I could see so much good stuff. But, I soon learned that I wasn't really "seeing" it. I decided to sketch as a discipline to slow me down. I didn't figure I'd really be able to do a good sketch. I had trouble drawing stick figures that would identify the Mens' Room.
I've discovered a few things. First, the Classic 18" seems to have been made for sketching. Second, I can in fact render a sketch that is a somewhat reasonable approximation of what the object actually looks like. I can finally show people what I see in the eyepiece and they begin to understand what thrills me so.
So, this is a long-winded thank you.
You could have your name on one!
John Nymark from Edina Minnesota with his 22" UC loaded in his 2012 Corvette.
Not many know that I was a dentist for 33 years. I sold my practice and retired on April 1st to focus more on my true love, astronomy and Obsession Telescopes. I only wish I had done it earlier!
Don't miss Comet ISON. The brightest comet in 400 years will visit earth this October/November (2013). Some anticipate ISON will be as bright as the full moon! Observe the head of ISON with a large aperture Obsession Telescope. It will be dazzling. Don't wait until a month before the event to get your scope as I'll be buried in orders at that time.
Obsession is also a Televue dealer. Get Original Equipment Manufactures discount pricing on all Televue eyepieces, coma correctors, filters, and barlows. The new Ethos eyepieces are awesome. Send us email for price list.
Wheelbarrow handles are now standard on all Classic and Ultra Compact scopes from 12.5 to 25 inches.
Taken by Refet Dehari with 15" Classic.
Introducing entirely new products. The Ultra Compact telescopes are for people that want large aperture that will fit in any car. Completely new design and extremely compact - but same optical, build quality, and ease of use as the Classic Obsession. Awarded 2008 Hot Product by Sky & Telescope magazine, Cloudy Nights Gear of the year 2008 award, Astronomy magazine 2008 Top Ten award, Cloudy Night Reviews Readers Choice – 2007 Top Products award. For info, photos and a streaming video of the 15" UC and 18" UC please see our web site. Both the 15 and 18 inch Ultra Compact Obsessions include premium Feathertouch focuser, Telrad, and counter weight kit. Cost is the same as Classic 15 and 18 inch models with same items. Argo Navis Digital Telescope Computer and ServoCAT GoTo drive options available on both. And if you prefer the warmth and beauty of a fine wood instrument we still offer the famous Classic Obsession series of telescopes.
We are constantly being asked to make a larger Ultra Compact scope. So we introduced the 22 f/4.2 UC in January 2010. Same award winning design but with 8 truss poles instead of six. Same premium Ostahowski and OMI optics. All optics are tested and figured with wave fringe analysis interferometry, the Gold Standard in the business.
I modified the UCs so they are even easier to lift and transport. The primary mirror can be removed from the VMB (virtual mirror box). At your dark site, take the mirror out of the VMB, set the VMB in the rocker, and set the mirror back in. This means the heaviest item for the 15UC is only 26 pounds, and for the 18UC it's only 38 pounds. And you still get the wheelbarrow handles if you want to roll the whole scope around.
Obsessions are built with diffraction limited optics from Ostahowski and OMI (Optical Mechanics Inc). All on 2 inch glass. No cheap astigmatic bendy thin mirrors like others use. No fragile plate glass sandwich mirrors. No cutting corners.
These optics have the finest specs on the market, are certified with laser interferometry and have ID (Ion Deposition) 96% enhanced coating. Enhanced Ion deposition is the smoothest, most durable, most opaque (no pin holes) and most reflective coating possible. Now you can have the best optics, the best coatings and the best delivery. Call or email for price & delivery. Secondary mirrors are 1/10 wave or better with interferometry certification and coated with 98% Brilliant-Diamond enhanced aluminum. These are the finest flats and coatings offered anywhere.
Select the ServoCAT GoTo drive option for your scope and you get the best drive system in the business, including the Argo Navis Digital Setting Circles, high res 10K encoders, powered ground board (prevents cord wrap up), and professional installation.
Available now. We can install the new Generation 3 ServoCAT GoTo tracking drive on your new Obsession. Combined with the powerful Argo Navis digital setting circles and 10K super res encoders, this system makes your large aperture telescope a fantastic observational instrument. Seamless operation. Precise tracking and GoTo capability at the push of a button to over 29000 objects. Features so advanced we can't describe them all on this page. Whether you get the ServoCAT GoTo tracking system or if you just want the advanced features of the Argo Navis digital setting circles you'll get factory installation. For more info please see enclosed product sheets.

A Consulting Director of Energy at HIS Markitt, Vinod Raghothamarao, says the Vienna Alliance of OPEC and non-OPEC oil producers decided in December 2018 to reduce oil supply from October levels by a collective 1.2mmbpd starting in January 2019, effectively reversing a supply expansion of 1mmbpd that was agreed at its last meeting in June.
According to him, OPEC will account for 800,000 bpd of that cut, and 10 non-OPEC members of the alliance will account for the remaining 400,000 bpd. Saudi Arabia and Russia, the two largest producers in the alliance that accounted for the lion's share of increased output in recent months, will nominally be reducing supply the most. Had the alliance failed to agree to cut supply, the markets were poised to fall further.
Russia, the most critical non-OPEC partner, has agreed to cut about 230,000 barrels a day but says this will take time to achieve due to seasonal factors related to harsh winter conditions at oil fields in Western Siberia.
Russia was slow to hit its 300,000 barrels per day commitment in 2017, when it first partnered with OPEC in supply cuts, requiring several months to reach 100% compliance. With the new deal only running six months, Russia looks less likely to fulfill its commitment this time — particularly since Russian oil companies aren't thrilled about OPEC action stunting their growth plans.
Saudi Arabia will once again shoulder the biggest cuts among OPEC members and draw the most attention in markets. However, the oil-rich kingdom's actions could confound markets. Saudi Arabia plans to cut its production to 10.7 million barrels a day this month, down from a record 11.1 million barrels a day in November and cut further to 10.2 million barrels a day in January to emphasise its commitment to the new OPEC deal.
Saudi Arabia, Russia, and the alliance seem resolved to tame oil markets despite their capriciousness. Just this year, the alliance has had to adjust to several new factors: a rising tide of oil supply from the United States, which just last week became a net oil exporter, something that was unthinkable 10 years ago; heightened trade tensions that threaten to reduce the flow of goods and services, and thus economic growth; the prospect of slower global economic activity for cyclical and other reasons.
Production cuts by the "Vienna Alliance" should keep the market balanced, allowing a modest recovery in prices. These cuts, in addition to an expected steep fall in Iranian supply, should keep the market balanced on average in 2019, although Q1 2019 could be challenging given the seasonal decline in oil demand.
Oil markets are typically in a state of unstable equilibrium, with either a little too much or a little too little oil supply—small imbalances that tend to disproportionately buffet prices. Managing such fluctuations demands constant adjustment. US waivers in connection with Iran sanctions will run out in May and will either be renewed at some level or ended, creating yet more uncertainty about demand for oil from other producers. Global supply prospects are such that they may exceed demand growth, the more so if the latter is weaker than currently expected for any reason, caused perhaps by the impact of the US administration's trade wars or a slowdown in overall global economic growth. At the same time, US production is due for another big increase in 2019, once transportation and other infrastructure bottlenecks are cleared in the Permian Basin. To the extent that US production rises, it will reduce the need for OPEC and alliance oil.
The US poses multidimensional risks for the global oil market. Most of the world's supply growth in 2019 is expected to come from the US. This poses a risk of oversupply—or a shortfall if the United States fails to deliver. Other risks are political, such as the degree to which US President Donald Trump exerts pressure on Saudi Arabia to increase output.
The rest of his perspective goes thus: Crude oil output from the big three—Saudi Arabia, Russia, and the United States—has grown far in excess of the decline in Iranian crude output so far, forcing the "Vienna Alliance" back into a market management stance. However, we expect the production cuts agreed to on 7 December are sufficient to return the market to balance in 2019, allowing a modest recovery in prices.
The "Rule of Three": US, Saudi Arabia and Russia carry global supply. Power within the oil market is quickly gathering around the three super-producers: Saudi Arabia, Russia and the US. These three countries, above all others, are now calling the shots in the global oil market, and will be critical in supplying the market over the next few years, offsetting declines in non-core OPEC output and flat growth in non-OPEC countries outside North America. The United States is currently setting the global oil agenda, forcing the other two oil superpowers, as well as OPEC and the Vienna Alliance, to react to US initiatives.
US tight oil economics remain strong, driving production growth. US supply growth continues to be propelled by the Permian Basin, which boasts the lion's share of premium tight oil well locations. Most new US production growth in our outlook comes from wells that break even below $50 per barrel (WTI). However, if drilling and completion activity slows or halts, overall US output could drop steeply for a time, because of the accelerating decline of the tight oil production base.
The Brent-WTI spread will remain relatively wide in 2019 as the US crude export requirement rises and Cushing congestion worsens. Crude inflows into Cushing (delivery point for the NYMEX WTI contract) are expected to outpace crude outflows over the coming year, resulting from higher utilisation of pipelines into the hub, including expansions. Arbitrage economics on the US Gulf Coast will also stay positive to support a rising trend of crude exports, which will occur as shale output climbs higher. By 2020, we expect WTI to begin strengthening relative to Brent, as the Permian and Cushing are debottlenecked with new pipeline capacity, and as the IMO bunker specification puts a premium on light sweet crudes like WTI.
A $60-70 per barrel oil price level appears adequate to incentivise sufficient long-term supply. The cost to develop both tight oil resources and conventional upstream oil projects has declined significantly since the oil price collapse of 2015-16. Full-cycle breakeven levels for deepwater projects are now comparable to typical US tight oil wells. We estimate that most of the gross supply needed in our long-term outlook can be supplied at $70 or below. As always in the oil market, volatility will remain. Excursions well above or below this average long-term price level will occur periodically over the outlook period as supply and demand adjust.

BTS to hit the stage in South Korea for first time since COVID began

SEOUL — South Korean boy band BTS are to put on their first shows for their home fans since the coronavirus pandemic began, with three concerts in the capital, Seoul, next month, their agency said on Wednesday.
The concerts, part of their "Permission to Dance on Stage" tour that has been disrupted by the pandemic, will be at Seoul's Olympic Stadium on March 10, 12 and 13, and will also be live streamed, Big Hit Music said.
"We would like to thank all ARMY for patiently waiting for an in-person concert to be held in Korea," the company said on its online fan platform, Weverse, referring to the band's global fan base known as Adorable Representative MC for Youth.
Since their 2013 debut, the band have spearheaded a global K-Pop craze with catchy, upbeat music and dances, as well as lyrics and social campaigns aimed at empowering youngsters.
The seven-member band made history in November, becoming the first Asian artists to win the top prize at the American Music Awards.
Their last concert for South Korean fans was in October 2019, a couple of months before the coronavirus emerged.
As the pandemic spread in 2020, the band postponed and then called off what was meant to be their biggest international tour involving nearly 40 concerts. They held some online shows instead.
They played their first in-person concerts since the onset of the pandemic in November, in Los Angles, and some die-hard South Korean fans flew in for the shows.
The pandemic has also affected some members of the band, though all are fully vaccinated.
V, the singer and songwriter whose real name is Kim Tae-hyung, was on Tuesday confirmed as the band's fifth member to contract COVID-19, Bit Hit said.
V had no symptoms apart from a mild fever and sore throat, and all other members had tested negative.
"He is currently undergoing treatment at home," the company said in a separate statement, promising a speedy recovery.

Q: substitution of minimization problem restrictions gives wrong answer Just got out of classes and the tutor couldn't find out what was wrong (though he solved it his way):
Find the points of the curve that is the intersection of equations
$$g^1: x^2 + y^2 -xy - z^2 = 1$$
$$g^2: x^2 + y^2 = 1$$
closest to the origin.
Well, that's
$$\min_{\left(x,y,z\right)\in\mathbb R^3} (x^2+y^2+z^2)\quad\text{st } g^1, g^2$$
Both restrictions have to be satisfied, than the restrictions reduces to $z^2 = -xy$. Well, if the restrictions are true, than the problem reduces to
$$\min_{\left(x, y, z\right)\in\mathbb R^3}( 1 - xy)$$
If $x$ is minimum, then it has to follow that $1-y =0$ and $1-x=0$, so I get $x=1$, $y=1$ and $z^2 = -1$, and that's a problem, cause z has to be a real value (and dont satisfy restrictions).
I understood Lagrange will give me the right results, but it's cumbersome to do with two restrictions. Any clues what I got wrong?

A: Here's an elementary (no differential calculus) solution: name $(P_\lambda)$ the horizontal plane having $z=\lambda$ as cartesian equation ($\lambda\in\Bbb{R}$).
Now consider any $M\in (g_1\cap g_2)\cap(P_\lambda)$. By Pythagoras' theorem the distance from $M$ to the origin is $OM=\sqrt{1+\lambda^2}\geqslant1$.
If you take $\lambda=0$, any $M\in g_1\cap g_2$ with $z=0$ is such that $\mathbf{OM=1}$, which thus achieves a minimum. Now if you report $z=0$ in the equation for $g_1$ and $g_2$, you easily find out that the solutions are given by $xy=0$ and $x^2+y^2=1$, thus $(x,y)=(\pm1,0)$ or $(0,\pm1)$.
Conversely it is immediately checked that the four points $(\pm1,0,0)$ and $(0,\pm1,0)$ belong to $g_1\cap g_2$.


Looking for a loan isn't exactly an easy experience. When you have not-so-ideal credit it can be downright excruciating. Most traditional lenders will immediately reject a loan application if the applicant's credit score is not above a certain number. But what these lenders don't seem to understand is tough economic circumstances may have caused someone's credit score to drop in the past. Even if that person is completely financially responsible and trustworthy now, they will turn away a potential client.
At LoanMart, we won't judge you based on your credit score. Instead of determining your loan amount based off of your credit score, LoanMart looks at the equity of your vehicle and your ability to repay your loan1. LoanMart might check your credit, but just to make sure you are not currently declaring bankruptcy or going through pre-bankruptcy financial counseling.

You see, your credit score is made up of multiple factors that make up your financial activity. Things such as how on-time you are with paying your bills, how many lines of credit you have, and how much debt you are currently in are all factors that make up your credit score.
When you get a LoanMart car title loan and keep up with your payment plan, you will improve the parts of your credit history that have to do with staying current with your bills, and lowering the about of debt you find yourself in. Of course, if you neglect your LoanMart car title loan payment plan, this may reflect poorly on your credit report.

Chris Hemsworth reveals how he almost died in the Himalayas
Chris Hemsworth's vacation to the Himalayas turned into a near-death experience.
The actor, who is currently promoting "The Huntsman: Winter's War," stopped by "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and told the host about his bout of altitude sickness.
When climbing at such high altitudes, standard procedure dictates taking a break at certain heights to help bodies adjust to the low oxygen levels, but Hemsworth's body wasn't adjusting.
"We went to 2,000 meters, then 3,000, and I honestly started to kind of lose my mind," Hemsworth said. "Just completely irrational, overly sensitive to the most trivial sort of silly things."
Hemsworth's wife, Elsa Pataky, began to notice that something was off, but Hemsworth said he kept denying it.
After getting to 4,000 meters, Hemsworth was struggling.
"My breathing is getting worse, like Darth Vader meets Daffy Duck," Hemsworth said. "She eventually ignores me, runs and tells the guides. They come in, take one look at me and say 'get him off the mountain.'"
He was given an oxygen mask and was flown down the mountain via helicopter. While he's ok now, it was nearly a deadly experience for the actor.
"Apparently the oxygen in my lungs, the next day would have been oxygen in my brain, and then goodnight," Hemsworth said. "We wouldn't be sitting here."
"Maybe it's because you're so handsome," Kimmel joked. "You're not meant to be up in the mountains away from others, you're meant to be down amongst the people, bringing joy to their eyes."

Molino La Nava a lovely converted olive oil mill set in and surrounded by olive groves is a real getaway. Soak in the peace and quiet, walk the solitary country lanes or walk some of the GR 48 walking route running right alongside the hotel.
Molino la Nava has been well-converted and seven of the eight rooms are named after varieties of olives, the eighth one, the most special out of the uniquely decorated rooms, is called Mirador de las Estrellas or Viewpoint of the Stars.
This is a real escape, especially for country lovers, the small garden and pool are very pleasant in the heat of the summer while the inside remains cool. Many original features have been retained and my favourite part is the olive crushing machinery still present in the cosy dining room.
The large open-air courtyard is a nice, spot on balmy evenings for a pre-dinner drink or coffee with stars above and the incredible stillness of deep countryside but only 8km from the pretty town of Montoro and half an hour from Cordoba city.
Have you visited a great hotel in or around Cordoba that you'd like to recommend?
