So Others May Live: Coast Guard's Rescue Swimmers: Saving Lives, Defying Death
So Others May Live is the untold story of the history of the U.S. Coast Guard helicopter rescue swimmer. There are twelve heroic stories which chronicle a representation of the greatest maritime rescues attempted since the inception of the program in 1985. These feats, told through the eyes of the hero, reveal an understanding of how and why the rescuer, with flight crew assistance, risks his or her life to reach out to save a stranger. The events unfold in diverse geographic areas and environments: oceans, hurricanes, oil rigs, caves, sinking vessels, floods, Niagara Falls and in the aftermath of one of our countries worst natural disasters, Hurricane Katrina.
Working in conjunction with the Coast Guard Foundation, the former Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Governor Tom Ridge has penned a foreword for this book.
These events are true and classified as legitimate by the top rescue swimmers in the business. They support these accounts as being illustrative of the best of the best. This collection includes the story of the first woman rescue swimmer (in all the military services), the first Distinguished Flying Cross awarded to a swimmer and real cases that became catalysts for equipment changes and mandatory training scenarios implemented later in the Advanced Rescue Swimmer School. These stories reveal for the first time how swimmers deal with their own, raw feelings and emotional distress following difficult or tragic cases. Now, instead of leaving the service, they are assisted through their recovery by Critical Incident Stress Management counselors and return to work.
Mandated by Congress after the significant loss of life from the sinking of the vessel Marine Electric and coupled with findings of fact from the NTSB investigation of the Air Florida 737 crash into the District of Columbia's 14th Street bridge one year before, this book details, for the first time, the history of the program's development and the need for hypothermic survivors to be rescued with new techniques. The accounts are supported by interviews from the "first five" swimmers and officers, founding fathers and men who were integral for the creation of this profession. Working from official documents, survivor and rescue swimmer interviews and period photographs, their courageous stories are told. So Others May Live also describes the program's internal and external challenges, lessons learned, training, skills and the motivation required of a swimmer to risk his or her life and come back alive. The program, its men and women, are models for military services worldwide.
A portion of the author's proceeds from the sale of this book were donated to the Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer School for the development of a new aquatic facility in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. The new facility opened in October of 2012.
So Others May Live is available in paperback and e-book from your local bookstore, The Lyons Press or on the Internet.

Martha Laguardia-Kotite has perfectly captured the genesis of the legendary Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers. From their bare-bones beginning to The Perfect Storm off the Atlantic Coast; from the sea lion caves on the Oregon Coast to their heroic (and unacknowledged) work during Katrina; we follow these super heroes as they defy death on an almost routine basis.

THIS is a totally awesome book for a young man who is a future rescue swimmer with the USCG. Every type of rescue since the beginning of the team is noted in the various accounts. AND the book is autographed/ signed by the author.
Jean M. Bierbower
I didn't realize how new the rescue swimmer program really was. This book provides an excellent history of the program, followed by some of the most hair-raising rescue cases in the Coast Guard's recent history. It is amazing how few people were behind the development and this program and the on-going success.
A great read that provides insight into the Coast Guard's current standing in the military. Highly recommended!

Changing the Rules of Engagement Inspiring Stories of Courage and Leadership (Forewords by DNC Chair and Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, Congressman Jeff Miller)
Changing the Rules of Engagement
Changing the Rules of Engagement documents the lives of women who have shattered the glass ceiling and performed extraordinary feats while serving their country. By telling their stories about their remarkable careers in traditionally male-dominated environments, Martha LaGuardia-Kotite demonstrates how tenacious and courageous women can achieve the unimaginable.
Among the pioneering women profiled are Vice Adm. Vivien Crea, who as vice commandant of the U.S. Coast Guard held the highest-ranking position of any woman in the history of the U.S. military and was the first female Presidential Military Aide; Lt. Col. Tammy Duckworth, USA, a Purple Heart recipient and triple amputee who was shot down in Iraq while piloting a Black Hawk helicopter; and Heather Wilson, an Air Force Academy graduate, Rhodes scholar, and the country's only female veteran in Congress. Included are the inspirational stories of women Marines, one of the three female Shuttle commanders in the history of the NASA program, and the first female members of the military service academies' gender-integrated classes, who recall the highs and lows of their trailblazing experiences.
These are only a few of the remarkable women who tell their own inspiring stories in Changing the Rules of Engagement. Representative of a widely diverse group of enlisted women and officers from different races and cultures, they have succeeded since the mid-1970s at combating prejudices and aiding change in the military with intelligence, passion, and honor while serving on the front lines.
Publisher: Potomac Books Inc. (May 31, 2012)
Martha's new book on women in the military comes at an exciting time for our nation and the world. She has the ability to engage the reader in every detail. The stories are always encouraging and inspirational.

My Name Is Old Glory: A Celebration of the Star-Spangled Banner
For decades now, the poem "My Name Is Old Glory" has been read at military retirements and patriotic ceremonies. Composed by an unsung Marine who served during WWII named Howard Schnauber, it expresses his feelings about the Star-Spangled Banner.
In this book, Schnauber's simple but powerful lines blend with timeless images--from a civil rights march to the Moon landing, from Iwo Jima to September 11, 2001--that capture the courage, strength, and glory embodied in our national treasure. With sidebars about significant flag-raising events, the flag acts of 1777, 1794, 1812, and 1912, flag etiquette, personal reflections about what the flag means to Americans of all ages, and much more, this is sure to be the flag book of the year.
Publisher: Lyons Press (May 1, 2012)
I would define Martha Laguardia Kotite as one of the best prolific writers of today with a passion for telling a story that puts you 'right there' in the scene. "My Name is Old Glory" is a personal and professional testament that illustrates her superb work. It tugs at your heart - and makes you feel proud to be an American. Buy several ... they make great gifts!
Vincent Patton
I have had the privilege of serving with Martha Laguardia-Kotite in the Coast Guard and her heartfelt passion for her country comes out clearly in this simple yet powerful look at our Nation's flag. The poem Old Glory is a wonderful opening for the historical information that follows. The pictures do an amazing job of supporting the text that describes the role of the American Flag in our history dating back to the founding of the country and through many of the more recent trials that tested the resolve of our Nation. The book captivated my eight and five year old and had them looking forward to their evening stories like few books before. It is a book that I am proud to have in my home and I could not offer a stronger recommendation to anyone who wants to instill the values of our great Nation in their children.
Alexander Foos
This book is moving and heart warming. It truly moved me reading the poem "old glory". This should be required reading for all students. As it seems the feelings toward the flag has been lost on our youth. I highly recommend this book to all American's with a heart.
D. McNally
I was very impressed with this book. I bought one for ourselves but also bought 2 copies and shared them with our local library. Great picture book for children and wonderfully written for adults. I only wish everyone had as much love for our flag as these writers do.

Legacy: A History of the Coast Guard Foundation
Founded in 1969, the Coast Guard Foundation was initially created to provide margin of excellence support for academic, athletic and morale programs at the Coast Guard Academy.
The organization's founding directors were Coast Guard veterans who served together during World War II. The founders, who enjoyed successful careers after their military service, believed the Academy had needs that private funds could fulfill that weren't being met by the Coast Guard's operating budget.
In addition to Arnold I. Sobel, Samuel "Bud" Silberman, and George Holtzman, early Foundation directors included such luminaries as G. William Miller, the nation's 65th Secretary of the Treasury and 11th Chairman of the Federal Reserve, and Fairleigh Dickinson, Jr., a New Jersey state senator, and chairman of the university named after his father.
In 1986, the Foundation expanded its charter to support projects that enhance the education, welfare and morale of all Coast Guard members and their families. Since the expansion of the Foundation's mission, hundreds of dependents of Coast Guard personnel have received college scholarships, and numerous cutters, bases and units across the country have benefited from exercise equipment, learning materials, distance learning centers and other support initiatives.

December 18, 2012 · by @memoURL	· in ENTERTAINMENT, FEATURES, FILM & TV, OPINION.	·
Good morning non-upper east siders, Dirty Cult here. Your one and only source into the scandalous life of entertainment's elite. The most epic scripted TV series about the 1% since The O.C. has finally come to an end. And with it, all my dreams. I'm not going to lie and say I didn't shed an actual, real life, tear when Kristen Bell said the infamous "You know you love me, XOXO" line at the end of the very last episode ever. She even had a cameo appearance next to Rachel fucking Bilson (DYING HERE)! Gossip Girl was like Sunday mass to me. It was the only thing that was constant in my life. No matter how much friend-hopping I did during high school, no matter how many drunken nights of mistakes I chose to forget, Gossip Girl was always there for me, reminding me that my peasant life would never be that crazy. Blair's drama was always exponentially more intense than mine; Everyone's life on that show was, really. It was almost like queen B was challenging me to outdo her week by week. How could I possibly keep up, though? I didn't have a gay dad or a super ultra famous and filthy rich designer mom to give me any sense of legitimacy.
I still remember the first episode like it aired yesterday. I remember they played "Young Folks" at the very beginning as Gossip Girl's voiceover introduced us to the universe we were about to be submerged into. I was only mildly upset by the fact that an indie band had gotten their song on a CW show. Blake Lively looked amazing as Serena Van der Woodsen, I thought. She was the only one who wasn't a total random because she had been in that Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants movie with Alexis Bledel. I was also a big Gilmore Girls fan right around that time. Something about TV shows with the word "girl" in it… except for New Girl. Zooey Deschanel can suck a couple of big ones. I'm sure she does anyways. I digress. I was really excited that the popular girls at school embraced Gossip Girl. There was finally some common ground between us, I thought. Some of the best conversations of my teenage years happened over Blair and Serena drama, the contest between Nate, Chuck and Dan for the title of "the hottest guy in Gossip Girl," and debating whether the girl behind the website could be Dorota or Little J.
Gossip Girl wasn't always a great show, I must admit. Seaons 3 and 4 were hard to watch. Rufus had an illegitimate child? Bitch, please. That story line was dead before it even came to life. Georgina went Christian? The devil can't be contained, hunty. Ivy Dickens? Really? I counted her out at the end of Season 4, then Serena had to bring her back for Season 5 and somehow she snuck her way into Season 6. Why? Why keep her and not Jenny? or Vanessa? Did you guys know Blake Lively wanted the writers to kill Serena because she was, like, so over it? Serious talk. I'm glad they didn't, though, because it would have been The O.C. drama all over again. And nobody wants that, right Mischa? There were way too many things on the show that never made any sense, but I understand that nothing is perfect. And aren't imperfections what makes things perfect anyway? Gossip Girl was beautiful because she was flawed, just like the rest of us. I committed to her when I was only seventeen. And when I commit to something, it's serious. I had to watch it the whole way through no matter how dumb each new episode was getting. And now it's finally over. Done. Hasta la vista, Niña Chismosa.
For now, let's be thankful that Leighton Meester wasn't that serious about a singing career (Fun fact: real life Little J, Taylor Momsen, formed a zombie rock band called The Pretty Reckless. She makes me wanna die.), that Chuck and Blair will live happily (in jail) ever after, that Dan Humphrey pretty much won at life, and that Rufus found a Megan Mullally lookalike to date. Oh yeah, Blake Lively is now married to Ryan Reynolds, Ed Westwick can finally audition for more things, and Nate Archibald no longer has to prove that some pretty rich boys are really just pretty rich boys. I'm going to miss Gossip Girl so so much.
You know you love her, XOXO
– Dirty Cult
P.S. Have you checked out Revenge? Obsessed! It's like if The O.C. and Gossip Girl had a murderous, vindictive child. Loves it.

Sustins
S >
Last name: Sustins
This very unusual locational name is apparently of East Anglian origins and a derived form of "Suston" itself a development of the Old English "Suthtona". This latter place now known as Sutton Madok in Suffolk was first recorded in the 1086, Domesday Book and is the probable place of origin of "Sustin". Translating as "The dweller at the South farm (or hamlet)". Changes over the centuries in name spellings are almost always owing to dialectal transpositions coupled with poor spelling and writing. "Sustins" in the plural form may also be a patronymic for "The Son of Sustin", such changes being common even into the victorian period. Examples of the name development include Agnes Suston, daughter of John, christened at Chigwell, Essex, in 1561, and William Sustins, who married Sarah Read at Blundeston with Flaxtoh on January 18th 1820. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Wyllyam Susten, which was dated June 5th 1596, a christening witness at Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1, "Good Queen Bess", 1558 - 1603. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

A while ago I said I was going to start a Featured story, group story. And I'm finally ready to start it!
Hunter and Tiffany are going to help me with it.
In case you didn't see the first story I made about it. The "Featured story" is an original story or fanfic that could use some reads and comments.
Once it's the Featured story, one of us will post a link to it in this story, and we'll send out invites.
Any questions just comment or message one of us.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Cache Rose isn't a group though, its single author.
How do you choose the stories?
Some are suggestions and others are ones we read and enjoy, so we post them.
Thanks for reviewing my story, and thank you for the constructive criticism. :) I only have one question, though: How do I "keep it original?"
Aww, thanks for the one on Letters to Heaven!

Are Inode and Metadata similar or different ?
What is the difference between the both ?
metadata is a common term for data providing information about one or more other pieces of data, when inode is a type of metadata that stores basic information about a regular file, directory, or other file system object.


Hogarth's Wildlife and Animal Removal specializes in Rat removal.
Rats are medium-sized, long-tailed rodents. Depending on the breed they are brown to grey in color with bald tails. Rats are an issue in cities all over the world; especially in large cities such as New York or Chicago, where they often have trouble controlling them.
Rats are great swimmers and climbers, can chew through metal, burrow, have fast reproduction rates, and are extremely intelligent.
Northern Michigan does not have a serious problem with rats, but Hogarth's does have the means to take care of them and has dealt with a number of rat jobs in our southernmost service areas.


When your doctor recommends physical therapy, it's a short drive to the smart choice.
We take pride in spending time with each patient. We work together with your physician, and communicate with their office about your condition on a regular basis. After your Physical Therapist reviews your history, injury and possible surgery report, a treatment plan is established for each visit, keeping in close contact with your physician. We also include a program to follow after each physical therapy session, as we believe the most effective therapy includes knowing what to do when you get home.
Working with physicians to formulate specific strategies, we also devise programs of stretching and strengthening that give lasting benefits long after therapy has ended. Whether you're a gardener or a golfer, whether you've had surgery or a stroke, it's good to know the best physical therapy is available close to home.


McCormack , L & Välimäki , V 2017 , FFT-based dynamic range compression . in T Lokki , J Pätynen & V Välimäki (eds) , Proceedings of the 14th Sound and Music Computing Conference . Proceedings of the Sound and Music Computing Conferences , Aalto University , Espoo, Finland , pp. 42-49 , Sound and Music Computing Conference , Espoo , Finland , 05/07/2017 .
Many of the dynamic range compressor (DRC) designs that are deployed in the marketplace today are constrained to operate in the time-domain; therefore, they offer only temporally dependent control of the amplitude envelope of a signal. Designs that offer an element of frequency dependency, are often restricted to perform specific tasks intended by the developer. Therefore, in order to realise a more flexible DRC implementation, this paper proposes a generalised time-frequency domain design that accommodates both temporally-dependent and frequency-dependent dynamic range control; for which an FFT-based implementation is also presented. Examples given in this paper reveal how the design can be tailored to perform a variety of tasks, using simple parameter manipulation; such as frequency-depended ducking for automatic-mixing purposes and high-resolution multi-band compression.


Very nice hard to find corkscrew. Made in the early 1900s by an American corkscrew manufacturer Williamson's Company of Newark, New Jersey. Corkscrew has a nice sharp bladed worm (corkscrew) and just above the worm is a cap lifter and wire breaker. The stain on the wood handle is from the shank pin which holds the handle in place.


ULIARUS INSULA (Eth. Olarionensis, Sidonius Apollinaris), is placed by Pliny in the Aquitanicus Sinus (4.19). It is the Ile d'Oléron, which belongs to the department of Charente Inférieure, and is separated from the mainland by a narrow strait.

Graphium monticolus, the Sulawesi blue triangle, is a butterfly of the family Papilionidae that is found in Sulawesi in Indonesia.

Taxonomy
Originally described as a subspecies of Papilio (Papilio sarpedon monticolus Fruhstorfer, 1896) later treated as a full species and placed in Graphium by most authorities (Graphium monticolus Fruhstorfer, 1896). Ranked again as a subspecies of Graphium sarpedon (Graphium sarpedon monticolus Fruhstorfer, 1896) by Tsukada and Nishiyama, 1982.

When was the last time you updated your headshot? Perhaps you have never got a professional headshot done?
Are you still using the blurry selfie from last year's thanksgiving dinner? Or maybe a caricature? Or the Linked-in generic gray guy? It's time to update your headshot.
A study published in the journal Psychological Science by Princeton professor, Alexander Todorov, author of the book, Face Value: The Irresistible Influence of First Impressions suggests we judge new faces online after only 100 milliseconds, literally shorter than a blink of an eye. We form impressions very quickly, effortlessly and immediately. Looking at the image longer actually increases the confidence in the perceptions we have already formed.
Your headshot should depend on the specific context and it should fit in with your objective. For example, smiling impresses trustworthiness. But your smile should be genuine and authentic otherwise you can look like botoxed caricatures. If you are on a speaker circuit, it is important to have a few images in your folio that show more than your head and shoulders. Your body language also speaks about your competence and expertise.
Have I have convinced you to update your headshot? Here are a few tips for you.
Are you in or seeking a job in management? You should consider opting for a jacket in your photo. If you are a litigation attorney and present in a court with tie, then chose a tie for your headshot. For women, the same things apply. Is it a suit with a jacket or sheath dress? Keep your outfits and jewelry simple and classic.
2. On the Day of the photoshoot, arrive relaxed. You have hired a professional. So, let go of the control. It is their job to keep you at ease. Do not set up your branding photo appointment the same day as multiple high demand meetings on your calendar. Your body language and facial expressions will reflect that.
3. Selection: Are your images are put up in the internet black-hole for you to select them in a vaccum? A professional photographer will walk you through a guided selection. My session fee includes a consult to get to know you, your business and your client profile. We discuss your branding strategy, your current client base, your expansion plans and plan the visuals accordingly. I recently advised a client to choose an alternate image because they looked too young in one of their selection (yes there is such a thing ), especially since their profession values years of experience in the field.
Most importantly, you invest in professional visuals so your clients can invest in you.
If you are interested in a New Year- New You Headshot, give me a call at 6099338361. We are offering a special on February 1 in my studio.

Estefaní Mercedes
Estefaní Mercedes' on-going project "Luz del Dia: Copyrighting the Light of Day" seeks to restore missing violent histories, namely actions surrounding the Argentine Dirty War. Her research-based practice coupled with her personal history creates situations in which violence is given space to be remembered and simultaneously transcended, rather than fetishized, in the hope of finding reconciliation with the past.
Through radical justice, investigating copyright law and film photography, Mercedes hopes to restore missing violent histories, turning the archive into legend. Mercedes has a research-based practice that intersects law and social justice, and all of her work is in connection to the history of the Argentine dictatorship (1976-1983). By building publically accessible photographic archives, Mercedes hopes to restore silenced voices. Mercedes' work constantly questions the purity of the documentary image, the singularity of memory, the purpose of the archive.
Mercedes was a 2016 Art and Law Fellow and a 2017 Artist in the Marketplace (AIM) Fellow at the Bronx Museum of Arts in New York. In 2017, Mercedes won the Light Work Grant and the Open Society Grant for documentary images. Mercedes also teaches "How to Use Art as a Political Tool" and "Law as Form (and Why it Should be Female)," and she lives and works across the Americas.
To learn more about Mercedes, watch this video clip or read this article.
Description of Artwork: "Isabel," 18x18 inches, inkjet on archival paper, 2017 – another of the altered 3,338 archival images and also a scanned negative. Two images are layered together: one is of the "anti-terrorist" police force during the dictatorship, and the other is of Isabel Peron, the president of Argentina before the dictatorship who was believed to be responsible for the first 100 disappearances.


Delhi's Aurangzeb Road will be renamed after former president APJ Abdul Kalam, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Twitter.
One of Delhi's most elite addresses, Aurangzeb Road, will be renamed after former president APJ Abdul Kalam, and it was announced on Friday by someone who was not involved in the decision - Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
"Congrats. NDMC jst now decided to rename Aurangzeb Road to APJ Abdul Kalam Road," tweeted Mr Kejriwal, who has been locked in a fierce turf war with the Centre over who controls the reins of the capital.
The decision was taken by the civic body in charge of central Delhi, after an all-clear from the union home ministry.
Within an hour, Mr Kejriwal's comment had been re-tweeted over 900 times and favourited 600 times. Many comments accused him of taking credit for a BJP lawmaker's proposal.
The BJP's Mahesh Girri wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier this month suggesting that Aurangzeb Road should be named after Dr Kalam, who died on July 27.
"As a tribute to the People's President, I propose to rename the 'Aurangzeb Road' in New Delhi to 'Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Road'. In my opinion, this will be a great way of preserving his memories and legacy forever," wrote Mahesh Girri.
Speaking to NDTV, Mr Girri said, "Do we ever name our children by the name of a devil? We can't change history but we can try to correct some wrongs."
His demand set off a huge buzz on twitter, with comments like: "Let us name Aurangzeb Road APJ Kalam Marg, as Aurangzeb was ruthless ruler."
Many also opposed the move, saying that renaming a road cannot change India's history.
In 2014, a prominent Sikh body in Delhi had petitioned PM Modi to change the name of Aurangzeb Road to Guru Teg Bahadur Sahib Road.
Aurangzeb, the sixth Mughal Emperor, ruled over most of the Indian subcontinent in the 17th century.

Q: Flask / Waitress server randomly going to 100% CPU usage after time I have a little flask webserver with just one route. The connection is kept open and streams data to the client for as long as the client doesn't stop the connection.
I'm using waitress multiple threads, so it doesn't block.
Now the problem. After some time, the CPU usage goes up to 100%. In the meantime in got some weird requests to /admin.php, but they are all getting a 404. On idle or with a few connections I don't even see python3 under $ top.
Why is that and what can I do?

A: 100% usage is for 1 core of CPU as you are using Flask and waitress ( GIL issue) -- Single processing multi threading , and your process seems to be primarily non CPU based like high IO , as a result  you do not see the python process using the CPU but the queue is increasing and after substantial queue , while allocating the CPU , it starts doing a context switching of all the queued threads and reaches a deadlock race condition . I had a similar problem where I moved out to Gunicorn kind of wsgi server which is capable of running it on multiprocessor with the workers and worker classes

1- It's all inclusive. Your accommodation, dining requirements, and leisure activities are all included within the fare. Don't believe me? Check out Cruise Offers. Nothing sullies a special occasion like a cost blow out. No need to worry about that with a cruise holiday.
2- You'll be treated like royalty by a dedicated team of friendly professionals. I don't know about you, but if I'm splashing out for a celebratory holiday, I want to know that I'm not going to be treated like a bed bug. Cruise staff are renowned for their welcoming, can-do approach.
3-It's safe. You don't need to worry about having too many celebratory Tequila Sunrises and not being able to find your way home. It's nigh on impossible to get catastrophically lost on a ship.
4- You don't need to keep unpacking your bags. There is really nothing more to add to this. Packing and unpacking bags while travelling is one of life's great misery's. You don't want your special occasion marred by (literal) baggage.
5- Following on from the above point: you may not need to unpack your bags, but that doesn't mean you won't be disembarking and exploring new ports. You can visit as few or as many ports as you wish. If you are having fun celebrating your special occasion in your bedroom, there's no need to stop. You'll get off at the next port.
6- Mediterranean Cruises offer a huge breadth of entertainment options. Discos, game nights, legendary entertainers, elaborate fancy dress balls. There's something for everyone, every night.
7- The food! My god, the food. The most discerning of palates, the pickiest of eaters, the real sticklers for detail, will doubtless be astonished at both the choice and quality of the food available on board a cruise. Special occasions can be celebrated in style, with feasts fit for kings and queens. The one downside: you will never want to prepare or eat a home cooked meal again.
8- There's a cruise for every budget. If you're celebrating a special occasion with a large group of people of varying incomes, this is an important consideration. Rooms can be had for as little as $100 per night. Staggeringly good value when you consider this includes everything- food, leisure, the works!
9-If you've got kids, there are a plethora of options to keep them entertained, as well as babysitting and childcare services, all staffed by qualified professionals. If you'd rather your romantic anniversary dinner for two didn't include the squawkings of an unsettled toddler, you have plenty of care options.
10- You don't really need a TENTH reason, do you?! My, my, you're a demanding type. Which means you're ideally suited to cruise holidays, as there's no whim or wish that can't be fulfilled in your floating resort. It's the ideal way to celebrate a special occasion, while eliminating all the common stresses that so often tarnish the traveller's experience.
Zhiqiang & Tingyi, that's a great post! I totally agree with you. River cruises are amazing. I have never been a big fan of hiking or any of those adventure holidays at all. I have been on a Chinese river cruise with my wife for our honeymoon. We both loved it. The service, the sea, the food, the cities – incredible. We will definitely use Viking River Cruises again for our next holiday. Perhaps we will go on a European river cruise, and I'd like to see some other parts of Asia as well. Travelling the world on a cruise is relaxing and exciting at the same time.


Currency pair EUR/USD has been traded to test lower level of reversal Neck pattern. We are expecting that pair to continue descending towards the level at 1.1190. Then it should test the level at 1.1237 from below and descend towards the level at 1.1150.
Currency pair GBP/USD has been traded within the descending wave that points to the level at 1.3212. We expect it to test level at 1.3292 from below and then it should fall towards 1.3160.
Pair USD/CHF has been traded within ascending wave. For today, we are considering the possibility that this pair would test the level at 0.9740 from above and then rise towards 0.9843. However, the goal for this wave is on the level at 0.9940.
Currency pair USD/JPY has been traded on descending impulse. We are expecting it to cover the level at 102.00. Then pair should test the level at 102.50 from below. In case this pair would break lower boundary we can foresee that this trend continues and endangers the level at 99.00. However, we should not rule out the possibility of positive dynamic towards the level 104.65, that scenario is still possible.
Currency pair AUD/USD has been done with the descending wave. Now, we should not ignore the chance of correction till the level at 0.7650. Then it might go lower till the level at 0.7400. But there is also a chance for descending without any correction.
Currency pair USD/RUB has been traded within consolidation pattern, keeping the middle of it. For now, we consider the main scenario is descending towards the level at 62.00. As an alternative, we can expect recovery till 65.35. Then it would descend towards 62.00.
Gold has finished correction till the level at 1329. For today, we expect consolidation to go on, and in case precious metal would break upper boundary, we should consider a chance for forming another rising pattern that would lead towards 1355. And that potential should be considered as a part of the wave towards 1440.

A Capoeira practitioner benefits from the huge variety of aspects: music and rhythm, flexibility, strength, a connection to a large Capoeira community, and exposure to the rich Afro-Brazilian culture.
The instruction is extremely clear, concise and straight to the point. Teacher is well focused and keeps the class moving at a steady pace. I had a lot of fun doing training with and will absolutely train more with Body & Flow when I get the chance. I would recommend her to anyone looking to train in Pilates!
Without Ory I would never have realised my dream of becoming a Pilates teacher. Ory's knowledge and understanding of the Pilates method and her teaching ability is outstanding. The sessions I spent learning with Ory were engaging, well planned and fun. Her expectations are very high but constructive and valuable feedback is always given as Ory understands that learning is a continuous and life long process. I feel very blessed to have met Ory who has given me the tools and a solid foundation to begin my Pilates journey and I know that she will be with me, supporting me for years to come.
After long and careful research about where in the world to travel in order to participate in certification course, we chose The Pilates studio Bangkok and not once we had regret our choice. After taking contact with Ory, she gave all the answers we needed about participating and traveling to Thailand, ensuring us that we were heading to the right direction. After traveling to the other side of the world, we found ahead well equipped studio, with nice and dedicated personnel, nice course mates and important of all – we met our wonderful teacher Ory, who's dedication to Pilates and to her work is just admirable. She is wonderful and skilled teacher – demanding but understanding, expressive, perspicuous and winsome at the same time. The course was well structured, logical, interesting and thorough.
As a dancer and teacher, I found the intensive Pilates certification course to be the perfect balance of rigor and rewards. The course is inspiring and full of passion for Pilates. Ory presents the course at a deep level of understanding while connecting Pilates to a broad range of abilities, lifestyles, and interests. Her professional, well-designed studio invigorates all visitors in its challenging, yet well-balanced, Pilates environment.
Size was perfect and level of information as well. Instructor is very open and knowleadgable. Students are very committed.
Very worth taking the course, even I had to take my days off from my full-time job. The teacher is very professional. Friends are nice. My Pilates skill is real improved. The more I know about the Pilates basis and anatomy, the more I can apply my knowledge to many useful exercises. I am inspired to teach, to strengthen and to heal others, at least via my Pilates skills.
I feel blessed and honored to know you Ory. I think you are wonderful and I so enjoyed my training with you, you are an excellent teacher with great focus and charisma. I am inspired now to read all my notes, follow all my drawings and practice Pilates, I wove some fundamentals into my yoga class this morning!

Woman gets jail time for 2011 fatal Cedar City crash Courts » She was driving truck that hit vehicle, killing man.
By Jessica Miller

A 51-year-old woman who pleaded guilty to negligent homicide for causing a 2011 fatal crash in Iron County will spend 60 days in jail.
Shari Yates was charged in 5th District Court with negligent homicide, a class A misdemeanor, in November 2011 — five months after the July 1 accident that killed 50-year-old James D. Ruman, of St. George.
Yates pleaded guilty in December. On Tuesday, Judge Jeffrey Wilcox sentenced her to 60 days in the Iron County jail and 24 months probation. As part of her probation, the judge ordered Yates to adhere to a strict curfew, maintain full-time employment and write a letter of explanation to Ruman's family.
According to her attorney, Greg Skordas, Yates was driving a semitrailer truck north on Interstate 15 near Cedar City when she came up behind Ruman at a high rate of speed and rear-ended him. Ruman was driving a surplus military vehicle in the right lane and was "not going very fast," Skordas said.
Skordas said there was no evidence that Yates was distracted or that there was poor visibility at the time of the crash.
"There was no evidence of impairment of alcohol or drugs," he said Friday. "There was no evidence of cellphone texting or distraction. But, on the other hand, she was unable to explain her conduct."
Skordas said witnesses described Yates as going "pretty fast" before the collision, but exact speeds for Ruman's vehicle and Yate's truck could not be determined. Skordas, however, said Yates was likely going at least 20 to 30 mph faster than Ruman.
A van travelling in the left lane of traffic also was also involved in the accident, but no one in the van was seriously injured, Skordas said.

She would have gotten 100 times longer a sentence for smoking a little weed, but killing a guy in a gruesome and obscenely negligent way? Oh, just a few weeks.

Cheri,
It's been a couple years since his passing, and I never knew him but you should know that I understand he was a great man and is missed by many. Having lost a loved one I know the pain never goes away. His memory is still alive even in the minds of people like me the ones that never knew him.
It's the sound of their voice I find the hardest, yet the most soothing.
RIP and you take care

I wonder what would have happened if someone in a deuce had killed someone?
Dreadful crash that I think of often.
m16ty
The truck driver and/or the trucking company could still get hit with a civil suit.
After reading the article, it almost sounds like they think deuce driver was partially at fault for going so slow. They don't come out and say it but they mention a couple of times that he was going "slow".

The accident came up in a thread yesterday. It's a shameful sentence.
I think about it when I get on the interstate, even in my 5-ton. 20,000lbs is still no match for 80,000 coming up behind you.

Unbelievable. I've seen shoplifters get harsher sentences.

When I first noticed the revival of this thread yesterday and the initial reactions to the sentencing, I took pause and "bit my tongue" before posting my own thoughts and reactions.
I pray for the driver, her peace and "survival" following what surely must be the life-changing consequences of her operation of a heavy motor-vehicle. I pray a lesson learned by not only this one, but for everyone impacted as a first-person, second-person, or just a media-absorbing bystander. Motor vehicle operation is NOT CHILD'S PLAY! We have the power of life and death at our fingertips. I PRAY that we all act responsibly. AMEN.
I do not ignore, but simply choose not to comment on or criticize the legal decisions or outcomes related to this matter. I can add nothing constructive.
CARNAC said:
There HAVE been threads and discussions of actual incidents involving civilian owned (some SS members) MVs involved in other fatal collisions and rolllovers. If you look, you can find the threads, brother CARNAC. The fallout of such is never pretty, and always life-changing for the survivors.
m16ty said:
For those "tuning in late", I strongly suggest that reading this ENTIRE THREAD from its first post to present in order to clear up any faulty perspectives or irrelevant assumptions. Let's remember - the media seldom gets all the details recorded or reported accurately.
Specifically, as I recall, this fatality was at least in part the result of our Member, the driver of the MV, intentionally doing some serious "collision avoidance" in an attempt to prevent further collateral damage and mayhem with other nearby vehicles. PLEASE UNDERSTAND: This cost him his life that others might live. Let us do him NO dishonor here.

Reading this post saddens me so much , I never new him personally and being over here in the UK would never had met him , But like most folk on this site he would have served his country well and would have laid his life on the line if asked .
And I hold my head in my hands and ask myself WHY/HOW/. As many of you may have heard about recent events here in the UK and not only the recent events but past ones too , And it appears to me that life has little value , little virtue , and little meaning to some of the folk we entrust to lay down justice in the right proportions.
Not so long ago a similar event happened to a good friend of mine , he lost his life to and the perpetrator got a fine and a slap on the wrist sentence.
How sad , How very sad
All I can say is you will never be forgotten Sir

Honorable men think of others first and themselves second. Sounds like she is not honorable. Sad we lost one of our own, but glad that he chose to save others. He is a hero to those people. The lack of "justice" in our justice system never ceases to amaze me. God bless you all and drive safe out there.

Lack of justice? come to Canada and check out how we do things. Just bring the barf bucket cause it will make you sick. The criminal here has more rights than the every day joe.

A sad ending to a tragic incident, because many here interacted with and knew Jim personally. That seems to hurt for always. And it may further sadden some hearts to know that the negligence by this 'professional' truck driver is, by our laws, seemingly, lightly punished. But this person's life is changed forever. For those of us who do, prayers for this driver are in order.
Yet to me, the most disturbing fact that a glaring spotlight should be shed upon is that statistically, over 30,000 men, women and children are killed on our nations roadways every single year. I'll wager that there is hardly a person here that doesn't know at least SOMEONE in their extended family who has lost a loved one in an auto related accident. And of course the causes are varied and many but to this I ask: Why do we as a society tolerate this? Do we?
And I digress...

Please let me clear up my post. I meant no disrespect and was in no way laying any fault on Shootiniron. I was just saying that the article seemed to lean that way from the way it was written.
I've read this thread from the beginning and know what happened. I was just commenting on the way the article was written, right or wrong.

Exactly, which worries me about my trip north. What a waste.
M16ty I don't think anyone took it that you were blaming shootiniron. I didn't. My comment was more grateful that he tried to save others.
Your post was quite clear, and you need not feel any reservations to revise it.
The paragraph you quoted from my subsequent post was not directed to you, sir, but to the thread participant body as a whole.
We can easily be drawn in to the vortext by the words chosen by the media. While "they" seemed to emphasize the slow movement of the vehicle, I simply thought it prudent to encourage "our troops" to read what's been made public here in the forum before jumping into commentary.
Thank you to ALL of our Steel Soldiers for you care and compassion toward everyone involved. Especially to the family of our Member (who just might still be recieving updates on this thread and reading its content). I again encourage your caution in any comments posted.

La clorocruorina es una hemoproteína portadora del oxígeno de muchos anélidos, y destaca porque presenta una coloración verde cuando está desoxigenada (en contraste con el rojo intenso de la hemoglobina), aunque es de color rojo claro cuando contiene oxígeno. Su estructura es muy similar a la de la eritrocruorina (que también es muy similar a múltiples subunidades del VIH y mioglobina) y contiene muchas subunidades parecidas a la mioglobina de 16-17kDa ensambladas en un complejo gigante de más de cien subunidades con proteínas entrelazadas, de un peso total de más de 3.600kDa. Debido a su estructura de macromolécula gigante, la clorocruorina flota libremente en la sangre. La única diferencia significativa entre la clorocruorina y la eritrocruorina es que la primera tiene una estructura de los grupos hemo anormal.

Kora Organics finally arrives in the UK, thanks to Space NK. If there is a beauty brand worth buying, Space NK will put it on their shelf. This if the first step in knowing that Kora Organics is a brand to take note of.
The second reason is that it is the award-winning certified organic and natural beauty range created by international model and mother, Miranda Kerr. As a wellness devotee, Miranda was compelled to create efficacious natural formulations with highly concentrated actives including hero ingredients noni extract, rosehip oil, sea buckthorn oil and green tea.
Miranda Kerr was inspired to create Kora Organics in 2009 as she wasn't able to find a natural and organic beauty brand that delivered the skincare results she wanted. As a long-term advocate of organic health, beauty and wellbeing, Miranda also has a passion for crystals which play a big part in the collection. Since launching in Australia, Kora Organics has attracted international acclaim and is now available in over 25 countries worldwide.
Kora Organics is commitment to replenishing our skin using highly concentrated actives to make sure it has the nutrients it needs to look and function at its best. One of the favourites from the range is the Noni Glow Face Oil, rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids, it helps to brighten and nourish the skin.
In the video below, Miranda talks about the brand, how it came about, the 'noni glow', and her overall health and wellness.

The Social Media Share module displays social media icons that visitors can click to share a page with their own social network via social media. The module has 6 Icomoon icons (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, Email and Pinterest) that can be styled via CSS or make use of the Layout Override for Font Awesome icons.
In the back-end of the Module you can configure the order of the buttons and visibility (to make an icon invisible, set order to "0").
You can choose between Image icons that are optimized for accessibility or CSS icons. When you choose CSS icons, you can load the default CSS, or choose to add the CSS to your own template CSS (for better performance). An url to an image (e.g. your logo) can be set in the "
URL of Logo for Pinterest" field.
Moved the CSS import to the tmpl file so that template overrides will be easier. Added minified version of CSS.

Where To, H2?
A new study envisages what a hydrogen economy could look like for India
India's energy sector will face two key challenges in the future. Firstly, there is the rising energy demand from a developing economy, whose priority remains bringing people out of poverty. For a country heavily dependent on fossil-fuel imports, there are high costs to meeting this demand. Secondly, India has set an ambitious target of becoming a net zero economy by 2070. These are strong climate commitments and require the entire energy sector to reduce its overall emissions and mitigate the effects of the global climate crisis.
Art by Shayantani Chatterjee
A hydrogen economy (the potential large-scale use of hydrogen [H2] as a fuel in future energy systems) has been publicised as an enabler for addressing these challenges. Hydrogen has no emissions during usage and is a familiar fuel in industries. Until now, hydrogen could only be produced economically from fossil fuels. But the sharp reduction in the costs of renewables, such as solar and wind, has created a big opportunity for hydrogen production and use in recent years. Clean production is rapidly becoming more affordable and hydrogen is increasingly being looked at as a low-carbon alternative fuel for the future. This is being reinforced by the commitments of nations to tackle the climate crisis and air pollution.
A new CSTEP report examines the status of hydrogen technologies and envisages what a hydrogen economy could be like for India in the future. It also identifies sectors that could drive hydrogen demand in the future and estimates the amount of hydrogen which is likely to be produced in-situ or delivered from other production locations.
According to the study, an estimated 8 to 8.8 million tons of hydrogen demand is expected by 2030, which is expected to rise to 15 to 19 million tons by 2047. The study finds that though the demand from refineries and fertiliser sectors will continue to exist, hydrogen demand will primarily be driven by the growth of green hydrogen use in sectors, such as steel, heavy-duty freight, and blending in city-gas-distribution grids.
The study recommends hydrogen production from biomass residue near agrarian set ups and scaling up of electolyser manufacturing as measures to help India develop a domestic manufacturing market.

A growing number of truth seekers will continue to rely on these resources offering the inspiration of yoga and meditation. Throughout the years Ananda's organic growth has been made possible through the generosity of individual donors and planned gifts.
Join hundreds of people worldwide…

At first glimpse, the city seems to be a lot of unadorned apartment blocks, but looking deeper, the city has so much beauty and charm!
The downtown area is simply gorgeous. It is picture-perfect Europe with cobblestone streets, colorful, ornate buildings, statues, churches, and of course what I now equate as a Hungarian National symbol, ice-cream stands! The best part is that the entire area is closed off to cars which makes the streets an absolute joy to wander.
Of the many statues in the downtown core, the one of "Kati Néni" was our favorite. This statue is of an old lady who lived in Székesfehérvár and would sell her wares in the downtown streets every day.
One of the most famous attractions in Székesfehérvár is the Bory Castle. While it is not incredibly old (it was built in the early 1900's) it is a beautiful spot to visit. The castle is filled with statues and artwork and we had a nice time wandering around, despite the cold and rainy weather on the day of our visit.
Close to the downtown area lies an AMAZING playground that we took full advantage of. This was by far the best playground that we have been to in Europe so far. I think that the trip down to Székesfehérvár is worth it for this playground alone!
Next to the playground is a peculiar fountain that has people lining up to fill up their bottles. This fountain is quite famous as it spouts a type of water that is rich in minerals like iron. We had a drink…the water sort of salty with a metallic taste. Apparently, it has healing properties.
Székesfehérvár makes a great (and easy) day trip from Budapest or would make a beautiful destination on its own. Our cousins tell us the downtown area is incredibly beautiful at Christmas time when the area is lit up with Christmas lights and full of vendors. If we ever come back to Hungary, I think this would be a city we could settle down in for a while.
