Volvo Super Olympian — двухэтажный автобус особо большой вместимости производства Volvo Bussar, предназначенный для эксплуатации в странах с левосторонним движением. Производился с 1998 по 2004 год, после чего был заменён Volvo B9TL.

Информация
Volvo Super Olympian был представлен в 1998 году, а одно шасси было отправлено в Гонконг на автосалон, организованный Международным союзом общественного транспорта в том же году. Позднее шасси было возвращено в Великобританию.

Технические характеристики
Шасси Super Olympian было основано на Volvo Olympian. Передний радиатор был перемещён за переднюю ось на 12-метровой версии или перед второй осью для 10,6-метровой версии (из-за её более короткой колёсной базы). Чтобы ещё больше опустить шасси, функция вспомогательного рулевого управления средней оси была отменена. Система подвески также была в значительной степени модифицирована таким образом, что она управляется электронным способом, а не пассивно перемещается. Одной из особенностей является то, что после поворота блок подвески не возвращается в нормальное состояние, оставаясь наклонённым либо влево, либо вправо, пока автобус не станет неподвижным.

Также был доступен вариант для 11,3-метровой длины Super Olympian, но никаких заказов получено не было. Super Olympian был оснащён Volvo D10A285 (Евро-2 или Евро-3), с максимальной мощностью 285 л. с. (213 кВт). Его несколько недостаточная мощность двигателя заслужила некоторые слегка насмешливые прозвища в Гонконге. Наиболее распространёнными являются «豬» (свинья), «扒» (мясная котлета) и «豬扒» (свиная отбивная, производная от произношения слова «Super»).

Первоначально шасси Super Olympian было построено на заводе Volvo в Ирвине, Шотландия. После закрытия завода в середине 2000 года производство было перенесено во Вроцлав, Польша.

Вытеснение
Производство Volvo Super Olympian закончилось в 2004 и 2005 годах после завершения последнего заказа от Kowloon Motor Bus и SBS Transit. Его преемником стал Volvo B9TL.

Metro Council member Dwight Hudson is proposing an ordinance that would give voters an opportunity this fall to rededicate the 2.25 mill property tax they narrowly approved last fall to help fund the East Baton Rouge Council on Aging.
Hudson's ordinance would place the measure on the Nov. 18 ballot. If approved by voters, it would rededicate the estimated $8 million a year the millage is expected to generate to "senior services," which Hudson says would be provided by an outside agency.
Hudson says he's not sure which agency or agencies would provide the services currently provided to local seniors by the COA. But he suggests the parish could contract with St. Vincent de Paul to handle the Meals on Wheels program, and that it could farm out other services to other area COAs.
"Those are details we'll be working out in the coming weeks," he says.
As for who would oversee the funds generated by the tax in the absence of the COA, Hudson says a special program might have to be created to oversee the money and contract out for senior services.
Hudson drafted the ordinance largely in response to the May 10 failure of a bill in the legislature by Rep. Steve Carter, R-Baton Rouge that would have reorganized the COA board of directors and given several entities greater oversight of the board. The bill was narrowly defeated along party lines by a House committee after a contentious debate.
"If that had passed and we had been able to get the right people on board, this would be unnecessary," Hudson says.
The COA has been under fire for financial mismanagement and a variety of questionable dealings since the tax passed last year. A recent Louisiana Legislative Auditor's report found the nonprofit agency engaged in potentially illegal activity by using COA resources to campaign for the tax.
Hudson's proposed ordinance has been placed on the Metro Council agenda for introduction at the June 14 meeting. Assuming the measure, which is sure to be controversial, gets that far, it will be debated by the council on July 26.
Already it is drawing opposition. Metro Council member Tara Wicker, who chaired the COA board of directors more than a decade ago, says it doesn't make sense to contract out services with a variety of agencies. Though she concedes the agency has management problems at the moment, she says it's the best agency to provide services to area seniors.

Patrick Davies photo Williams Lake resident Kristen Foote is hosting a Valentine's burlesque show in the lakecity with proceeds going to the Women's Contact Society.
Vintage Valentine's burlesque show to raise money for Women's Contact Society
The event is limited, currently, to 120 tickets total with both single seats and full tables on sale
Patrick Davies
Dec. 3, 2018 11:30 a.m.
A lakecity local in support of the Women's Contact Society is bringing a taste of burlesque to Williams Lake this Valentine season with the First Annual Vintage Valentine's.
Burlesque is a form of dance and entertainment centred on the concept of the striptease. Unlike contemporary strippers, however, the performers do not remove clothes for money and instead, the movement is centred on women empowerment. As such women of all ages and body types participate and the theme of their stripteases can be focused around reading poetry, comedy or even political commentary.

The organizer of the event is makeup artist Kristen Foote, who grew up in Williams Lake before moving away to pursue her education and career in major cities like Vancouver and Toronto where she studied makeup for film, stage and TV. Upon returning to Vancouver recently she met her boyfriend and the two settled back in her hometown.
"Now I've created a little business for myself using all of my favourite things: skincare, hair and makeup," Foote said, now operating Kristen Foote Make-up & Hair in town.
While in Toronto and Vancouver Foote became very involved with the burlesque community and when she returned to Williams Lake, she felt the town was missing out on this cultural event. So, initially as much for her own enjoyment as anything, Foote reached out to her friends in the burlesque community and local businesses to organize an event.
"I wanted to bring a different event to Williams Lake that's a little bit more fun, a little less formal and just a simply different form of entertainment," Foote said.
What began as a simple dance night quickly evolved into a full-blown charity fundraiser for the Women's Contact Society hosted at the Ramada Convention Centre. Featuring Quesnel-based burlesque troupe The Foxxie Follies as the main attraction the night will include a buffet style dinner, a bar, the burlesque show followed by an old-time themed open dance floor.
Throughout the night Foote said there would also be a selection of local vendors, raffles and a 50/50, all-themed after Valentine's Day. These include South Broadway Liquor Store, Charms Novelty Shop and The Purple Pansy Florist.
"You can buy some thing for your sweetie before Valentine's Day and then our raffle bags are going to be really fantastic. I've already got some great donations for that," Foote said.
The event is limited, currently, to 120 tickets total with both single seats and full tables available for purchase, with eight seats to a table. Foote said that tables go for $600 a piece, with three VIP tables close to the stage going for $700 each. An individual ticket costs $75 and is available for purchase through Charm's Adult Novelty Shop or The Women's COntact Society. Those looking to buy a table can contact Foote directly at 778-961-0392 or kristenmarie@live.ca.
To Foote burlesque is all about the story that's told on stage by the performers. Whether it's comedic, political or romantic, the story is king. It's something she says she's always been drawn to for its beauty, empowering nature and its welcoming inclusive community.
"They choreograph the number themselves and it's more about the story of their performance and how they take their clothes off versus the fact they are taking their clothes off," Foote said. "It's very female-oriented, it's all based on what the women in the show want to do. It's their number and their artistic expression versus, you know, just stripping for money."
Currently, Foote said she is still looking for local burlesque talent to volunteer for the event. While she doesn't need performers she does need people to run the raffles and 50/50s, as well as other behind the scenes events and said that a local versed in the mood and atmosphere of burlesque would be ideal.
She already has a Stage Kitten, the woman who picks up the dancers' clothes after their performance, in the form of lakecity local Ryley Smith. This is a very important role as Foote said performers never pick up their own clothes, marking a clear distinction between stripping.
In addition to local talent to volunteer, Foote said she is also looking for more local sponsors for the event, though she's happy to already have the Williams Lake Veterinary Hospital, United Floors, Raymond James, RBC and Joe Augustine all on board, as of the publication of this article.
"It's a new event and a lot of people don't know how successful it's going to be, so I guess some people are hesitant to donate to it," Foote observed. "Essentially all the money goes to the Women's Contact Society so that's a great reason to donate."
Foote decided to partner with them because their values match many of both her own and the burlesque community, namely empowering and supporting women.
In addition, the society's locally-based nature will ensure all the money raised at the event will stay local, according to Foote.
Those interested in attending need only be above the age of 19, according to Foote, with photo ID. While she thinks it'd be a great night for couples, she says that everyone she's talked to so far has been interested in attending, regardless of relationship status.
"A lot of people have said 'Oh I'm going with my girlfriends' or guys have said 'Oh we're going to go with the guys' and I've had a lot of couples who have said 'Oh its going to be a fun couples night.' I think it's going to be a really amazing, mixed crowd and I think anyone should feel welcome," Foote said.

Q: basic java database organization I'm working on this database type program for school. so far I've been able to make this part of the code fully functional:
import jpb.*;
//jpb is a package that lets me use SimpleIO as you'll see below

public class PhoneDirectory {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    PhoneRecord[] records = new PhoneRecord[100];
    int numRecords = 0;

    // Display list of commands
    System.out.println("Phone directory commands:\n" +
                       "  a - Add a new phone number\n" +
                       "  f - Find a phone number\n" +
                       "  q - Quit\n");

    // Read and execute commands
    while (true) {

      // Prompt user to enter a command
      SimpleIO.prompt("Enter command (a, f, or q): ");
      String command = SimpleIO.readLine().trim();

      // Determine whether command is "a", "f", "q", or
      // illegal; execute command if legal.
      if (command.equalsIgnoreCase("a")) {

        // Command is "a". Prompt user for name and number,
        // then create a phone record and store it in the
        // database.
        if (numRecords < records.length) {
          SimpleIO.prompt("Enter new name: ");
          String name = SimpleIO.readLine().trim();
          SimpleIO.prompt("Enter new phone number: ");
          String number = SimpleIO.readLine().trim();
          records[numRecords] =
            new PhoneRecord(name, number);
          numRecords++;
        } else
          System.out.println("Database is full");

      } else if (command.equalsIgnoreCase("f")) {

        // Command is "f". Prompt user for search key.
        // Search the database for records whose names begin
        // with the search key. Print these names and the
        // corresponding phone numbers.
        SimpleIO.prompt("Enter name to look up: ");
        String key = SimpleIO.readLine().trim().toLowerCase();
        for (int i = 0; i < numRecords; i++) {
          String name = records[i].getName().toLowerCase();
          if (name.startsWith(key))
            System.out.println(records[i].getName() + " " +
                               records[i].getNumber());
        }

      } else if (command.equalsIgnoreCase("q")) {
        // Command is "q". Terminate program.
        return;

      } else {
        // Command is illegal. Display error message.
        System.out.println("Command was not recognized; " +
                           "please enter only a, f, or q.");
      }

      System.out.println();
    }
  }
}

// Represents a record containing a name and a phone number
class PhoneRecord {
  private String name;
  private String number;

  // Constructor
  public PhoneRecord(String personName, String phoneNumber) {
    name = personName;
    number = phoneNumber;
  }

  // Returns the name stored in the record
  public String getName() {
    return name;
  }

  // Returns the phone number stored in the record
  public String getNumber() {
    return number;
  }
}

I'm trying to do a few things, and they're probably simple solutions I'm just looking over. I need to make a command "d" for delete that will prompt for a name and delete all records that match. I tried using the same approach as the "f" command where partial matches are allowed, but again I couldn't get it to work.
Next I need to modify the f command so that it lines up names and numbers in columns. I tried to force the string to be a certain length by making it = to the array length to no avail, it just returns looking blank. essentially it needs to look like this:
Smith, John    555-5556
Shmoe, Joe     565-5656

and I need to set records to 1 instead of 100 and have in double in size every time it gets full. I haven't messed with this yet, but I'm not sure where to start.

A: Because the requirement is to be able to remove records i would recommend using an ArrayList which grows dynamically and you are able to easily remove records.
It is declarer like this:
ArrayList<PhoneRecord> records = new ArrayList<PhoneRecord>();

and you add like this:
records.add(PhoneRecord(name, number)));

you can remove a record like this:
records.remove(i);

to remove the ith record of the list.
the current size of the list is given by records.size() function.
As for your second question you can use string formatting to tell it to format the name for a specified number of characters for example you could use this:
System.out.println(String.format("%s%15s", records[i].getName(), records[i].getNumber());

In this example will be added space characters before the telephone in order the total number of characters will be 15.
So if your number is 555-5556 then 7 space blank characters will be added before the number.

The Weekend's Best Matchups - April 13-15

Shalane Flanagan vs history
Monday, 9:32am ET
No American, man or woman, has won the Boston Marathon since 1985. Much has changed since then, and at times the probability of ever having a US winner appeared to round to zero. But this year there is hope, as Olympic 10k medalist Flanagan is in the shape of her life.
There is no better matchup of a race and an individual in terms of public interest and sentiment. It's the oldest annual marathon in the world and held in a city that prides itself on history. The city truly cares about and appreciates this race as sports fans, in that winning really matters (as does getting plastered, apparently). Even better, the hero is a Boston-area native with an Irish surname. If Flanagan wins, you can almost imagine famed Boston sports fan Bill Simmons writing Now I Can Die in Peace, part II.
The odds for Flanagan are long, as they are for any single athlete in a marathon. There's a lot of competition and the marathon is a fickle master. But maybe, just maybe…

Texas A&M vs Arkansas (men)
John McDonnell Invitational, Fayetteville AR
Saturday, main session at 5:00pm local time (6:00pm ET)
The two rivals meet up again this weekend at the John McDonnell Invitational, a seven-team scored meet. Entries have not yet been posted, but I doubt either team will hold back. They're currently #1 and #2 in the USTFCCCA rankings, so this should be a dandy of a battle.

Kenenisa Bekele vs Ibrahim Jeilan (10k)

Sunday, 1:30pm local time (7:30am ET)
If Bekele isn't the greatest distance runner of all time, then he's on the short list for that honor. He hasn't quite been himself in the last few years, though, so current form is questionable. Maybe he'll be back at the top, or maybe his time has passed. On Sunday he runs against Jeilan, the surprise 2011 World Champion at 10,000 meters. This may be a preview of the Ethiopian 10k trials for the Worlds team, to be held in two months in conjunction with the Prefontaine Classic.

Geoffrey Kipsang vs Kenyan selectors
Sunday, 10:30am local time (4:30am ET)
Third at last fall's Berlin Marathon in his first-ever 26.2-miler, Kipsang won February's RAK Half Marathon in 58:54. He's probably the headline name in Sunday's race, with 2011 champion Wilson Chebet among his main competition. Whoever wins is probably hoping to also impress selectors for Kenya's World Championship squad–this second-tier race doesn't have any of the big dogs who would rather skip the Worlds for a fall payday.

fuboTV Now Streams Over 30,000 Sporting Events Each Year
By Jess Barnes on July 2, 2019 at 5:20 pm CDT in All News, fuboTV, News
In an interview with David Gandler, CEO of fuboTV, Flixed talked about the success of the streaming service and what fuboTV is doing to set themselves apart from the competition. In that interview, we learned a few interesting facts about fuboTV.
The sports centered streaming service currently offers over 40 sports channels on the Standard plan. That includes the Big Ten Network, FS1, NFL Network, NBA TV, and NBC Sports Network, just to name a few.
On those 40 channels, fuboTV streams over 30,000 sports events every year.
"We're there for the sports fan," Gandler told Flixed, "but we have something for everyone else in the home. We're a cable replacement product for all."
Recently, fuboTV signed a deal to bring 13 new Discovery networks to its channel lineup, making the streaming service an even better option for the whole family. Subscribers are now enjoying channels like TLC, HGTV, and Food Network. In fact, users are enjoying the lineup so much that they're spending nearly 80 hours per month on fuboTV, according to Gandler.
In the interview, Gandler also notes that offering an excellent customer experience is a priority for the company. fuboTV listens to feedback, which is what prompted them to begin streaming in 4K, just in time for the 2018 FIFA World Cup matches.
Looking for a sports centered streaming service with channels for the whole family? You can try fuboTV out with a 7 day free trial before subscribing.

[TheBackyardScientist] at it again with another super villain-esque demonstration of gadgetry: a liquid metal squirt gun.
The squirt gun has a compressed air tank like most others — more on that later — but to fire its primary ammunition, a nozzle that connects directly to an air compressor is needed. Again, like most guns of this nature, air is forced into the gun's reservoir, displacing the pewter and expelling it out the gun's barrel. Yes, pewter.
Working around the heat tolerances of thread seal tape, pewter has a low enough melting point that an airtight system is preserved — plus it's really cool to fire a stream of liquid metal. The ammunition is made from pewter ware melted down and cast into pucks. These pucks are stacked into the gun's magazine, melted with a propane torch and carefully loaded into the gun.
The built-in compressed air tank lacks the oomph to push out the pewter — hence the air compressor, but any lighter liquids or condiments are fair game for rapid-fire exercises. Yes, condiments.
When designing a piece of hardware that has even the faintest chance of being exposed to the elements, it's best to repeat this mantra: water finds a way. No matter how much you try to shield a project from rain, splashing, or even just humid air, if you haven't taken precautions to seal your enclosure, I'll bet you find evidence of water when you open it up. Water always wins, and while that might not be a death knell for your project, it's probably not going to help. And water isn't the only problem that outdoor or rough-service installations face. Particle intrusion can be a real killer too, especially in an environment where dust can be conductive.
There's plenty you can do to prevent uninvited liquid or particulate guests to your outdoor party, but it tends to be easier to prevent the problem at design time than to fix it after the hardware is fielded. So to help you with your design, here's a quick rundown of some standards for protection of enclosures from unwanted ingress.
Make Mulled Wine With A Processor Heatsink!
Now, over the holiday season there seems to be a predilection towards making merry and bright. As many an engineer and otherwise are sure to note, fine alcohols will facilitate this process. One such warm holiday beverage is mulled wine; there are many traditions on how to make it, but a singular approach to preparing the beverage would be to re-purpose an old PC and a CPU liquid cooling unit into a mulled wine heating station.
Four years ago, [Adam] found himself staring at a pile of mostly obsolete PCs in his IT office and pondering how they could be better used. He selected one that used a power-hungry Pentium 4 — for its high heat output — strapped a liquid cooling block to the CPU and pumped it full of the holiday drink. It takes a few hours to heat three liters of wine up to an ideal 60 Celsius, but that's just in time for lunch! The Christmastime aroma wafting through the office is nice too.
Or for those without a Chemical Engineering degree, light from a (high resolution) projector interacts with a special liquid, producing a hard polymer on the surface. A platform within the liquid is lowered, taking the layer of polymer with it. Shine the projector again to produce another layer: lather, rinse, repeat. Long story short, an atypical 3D printer using light on a very small scale.
You get the chemicals and lab equipment, we'll get the laptop and projector, and for goodness sake [Jimmie] stop bumping the table.

Is Icing Bad for You?
July 28, 2018 Posted by Dr. Nick - Physical Therapist Health & Wellness, Physical Therapy, Recovery Techniques
I've been reading a lot on the internet lately that icing is bad for you or that you shouldn't do it. The argument against icing is that it impedes healing; it slows down the inflammatory process, which is what your body needs to go through in order to heal. Is this true? Why have we been using ice? What should you do going forward: ice or not? First, let's review injury and what icing has traditionally used for.
How do tissues heal?
Tissue healing is a four-step process: initial injury, inflammation, regrowth (regeneration), and remodeling. However, the stages are not as clear cut as that: your body can be in the inflammatory stage but simultaneously be in the beginning or late regrowth stages, with surrounding tissues early in the remodeling stage as well. Throughout many of the stages, rehab professionals, physicians, and individuals have traditionally used ice to treat injury. The intended purpose of icing an injury is to reduce inflammation, swelling, and decrease pain during the inflammatory stage and sometimes beyond.
The intended purpose of icing an injury during the injury or rehabilitative process is to reduce swelling and decrease pain during the inflammatory stage and sometimes beyond.
What are the effects of ice during tissue healing?
Let's look at icing during the inflammatory stage first since this phase is the main argument of the anti-icing movement. Icing has been shown to reduce localized blood flow through arterial constriction and thus reduce the release of hormones that help rebuild and repair tissues. However, while this reduced blood flow may last up to hours after the cessation of icing, ice does not stop the physiological process of inflammation and healing. The main argument against it is that icing will slow down this process.
What about ice after the inflammatory stage?
Later in the healing stages, ice can also be used when swelling has lasted longer than is beneficial. In some cases, a person may have swelling in the knee for up to a couple of months after ACL reconstruction or even longer in the ankle after a sprain. By reducing blood flow, icing limits the amount of fluid that moves into these areas and hence, reduce swelling. Why do we want to get rid of swelling anyway? Increased swelling can decrease the strength and stability of a joint, inducing central nervous system suppression of the muscles surrounding a joint; causing buckling or a feeling of instability or decreased strength.
By reducing blood flow, icing limits the amount of fluid that moves into these areas and hence, reduce swelling.
When else could we use ice?
Icing is also used to help decrease pain. Pain is why most people seek professional help, they want it gone at best or lessened at least while they do what they need to do. Pain can, also, impede loading, creating abnormal compensatory movements, and if gone on too long, change the way you move unconsciously. Decreasing pain, through icing, can facilitate more normal loading and allow the individual to be more comfortable. There is conclusive evidence in the literature that icing will help reduce pain both immediate after the injury and in the later stages of healing. All this reduced pain comes at a cost though: icing has been linked to transient reductions in strength, speed, endurance and coordination though.
Ice for a short period (3-5 minutes) then warm back up properly so that you do not return to your sport without full strength, speed, endurance, and coordination.
The big question then: should I ice? My answer depends on why are you using the ice. Are you using it for facilitation of healing? If so, the evidence isn't there to support that application. Are you using ice to decrease swelling and pain? The evidence is there to support this application. And what if you are using it to decrease pain and swelling during a sporting event? Ice for a short period (3-5 minutes) then warm back up properly so that you do not return to your sport without full strength, speed, endurance, and coordination. Game on.

The Hebrew word for intention (also, direction) is kavanah. In The Sabbath World, Judith Shulevitz introduces the concept of kavanah in relation to the story of the biblical character Hannah. Beloved wife of Elkanah, Hannah was unable to conceive a child. One day when she, Elkanah, and Peninah (Elkanah's less favored but fertile wife), had made the pilgrimage to Shiloh, where they would offer sacrifices, Hannah prayed for a son.
Hannah spoke in her heart; only her lips moved, but her voice was not heard (I Samuel 1:13).
Observing Hannah from a distance, Eli, the high priest of Shiloh, inferred that she was drunk and chastised her for her drunkenness. Respectful and fearless, Hannah responded to Eli, "No, my lord, I am a woman of sorrowful spirit; I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but have poured out my soul before the Lord" (I Samuel 1:15).
In Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, prayer is part of Sabbath observance. Though we would not pray in a class taught at a public liberal arts university, we did try a kavanah exercise in which we burrowed deep inside ourselves to set intentions.
At the beginning of the period for which we had read about kavanah, I asked students to set intentions for themselves for that particular meeting of our class. Their intentions could be anything from contributing more to class discussion to staying awake for the entire class period. Their intentions set, both internally and in writing, we sat, as we did every class, for two minutes of silence. Then, before class discussion began, I informed them that I had set a timer to sound a bell every fifteen minutes. When we hear the bell, I instructed the class, we'll stop whatever we're doing to check in on ourselves and see how we are doing in acting on our intentions.
As soon as someone said something I clicked with or disagreed with, my mind tried to jump to some personal connection and make a response, and I had to make an effort to stop it nearly every time someone spoke. But I was able to do so pretty well, and I felt like I was really understanding everyone's comments more clearly, and I noticed I made a conscious effort not to overindulge in telling about my opinions; instead I tried to make my comments more relevant to our conversations, in the hopes that they could fuel further, deeper discussions. I was disclosing personal stories, not to satiate a desire for expression, but specifically to further the experience for the group, as best I was able. So, speaking transformed from a self-act to a community-act.
Dustin's effort led to an insight that in turn resulted in his acting for the benefit of the whole class.
Just as it is difficult to "rest even from the thought of work," so it is difficult, if not impossible, despite one's best intentions and efforts, to keep one's mind from "jumping" in response to what someone else is saying, especially if it is something about which the listener has strong feelings. It is more likely, however, that one can develop the skill of witnessing thoughts and feelings without having to act on them. Witnessing without acting: a Sabbath practice.
The setting of an intention (prayer), the periodic interruptions (Sabbath) of class discussion (work) gave Dustin the opportunity to see (witness) how well he was doing in acting according to his intentions and make any necessary adjustments before the discussion resumed.
Class discussion, too, is an opportunity to cultivate social solidarity, especially when class discussion includes time for students to stop discussing, sit still, and spend a moment reflecting on their experience of class discussion. Time alone (solitude) in the company of others may enable one to be more present to others (social solidarity) when the discussion resumes.

I am a mother, artist, writer, minister, and a woman who has advocated for issues of women all of my life. My art supports several websites dealing with sexual abuse, prostitution and trafficking, movement therapies, spirituality and using art in healing work. This includes making statements politically and advocating for earth causes. I am particularly proud of a new piece in a series using the statue of liberty -- she sits in a bhuddist meditation pose and the fire is a lotus flower. My most recent series centers around "the change" as I am experiencing it myself. I believe in healing in all realms and that women are the leaders in using their bodies, minds, and spirit in healing themselves andeach other, in synch with the great Mother Earth. I look forward to more years of art and writing, and being part of womens lives in many new ways.

You guys know that I love taking care of my skin and that I prefer wearing little to no make up on a daily base. My skin is very even (got it from my mama) but after a breakup over two years ago it was in a pretty bad condition with lots of redness and especially plenty of outbursts. Over the years my skin has definitely healed with happiness and has now come to a point that I feel like it looks great again!
Many of you regularly ask me about my products, my skincare secrets and my daily routine, so here's a little update on the products that I currently use on a daily base. Oh, and do check out my holiday version of this post as well for more products!
Clinique Take The Day Off balm / have been using this one during the entire year to get rid of make-up and daily pollution, I'm such a fan! Read about this one in my previous Summer beauty post as well, as I really enjoyed this product during Summer (bye sunscreen).
Glossier Super Pure serum / got it during my trip in New York and it instantly helped to calm down my jetlag redness and travel outbursts. Not to mention the cool packaging, ofcourse. Very curious for its long-term results!
Biotherm Skin Oxygen SPF15 cream / a rich cream full of antioxidents with sun protection, which I love. Feels good, smells good and does wonders for my skin. I use the night version too, by the way.
Biotherm Skin Oxygen Wonder Mud mask / yes, a mud mask that is exfoliating as well! This lazy girl loves a good 2 in 1 combo. It promises to combat dullness and revive glow and for now, it ticks all the boxes.
Caudalie Eau de Beauté / this one was recommended to me by a few of my fave blogger and make-up artists, so I obviously had to try it. My current fave thing to use right before diving into my pillow at night!
Et voila! I am of course wearing a tiny bit of make-up here, so should I share a quick make-up update as well? Let me know in the comments!

Home > Books > Nikolai Gogol
Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol , dramatist, novelist and short story writer of Ukrainian ethnicity. Russian and Ukrainian scholars debate whether or not Gogol was of their respective nationalities.
Considered by his contemporaries one of the preeminent figures of the natural school of Russian literary realism, later critics have found in Gogol's work a fundamentally romantic sensibility, with strains of Surrealism and the grotesque ("The Nose", "Viy", "The Overcoat," "Nevsky Prospekt"). His early works, such as Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka, were influenced by his Ukrainian upbringing, Ukrainian culture and folklore.
His later writing satirised political corruption in the Russian Empire (The Government Inspector, Dead Souls), leading to his eventual exile. The novel Taras Bulba (1835) and the play Marriage (1842), along with the short stories "Diary of a Madman", "The Tale of How Ivan Ivanovich Quarreled with Ivan Nikiforovich", "The Portrait" and "The Carriage", round out the tally of his best-known works.
Author: Nikolai Gogol
Genre: Classics
Dead Souls, is a novel by Nikolai Gogol, first published in 1842, and widely regarded as an exemplar of 19th-century Russian literature. The purpose of the novel was to demonstrate the flaws and faults of the Russian mentality and character. Gogol masterfully portrayed those defects through Pavel Ivanovich Chichikov (the main character) and the people whom he encounters in his endeavours. These people are typical of the Russian middle-class of the time. Gogol himself saw it as an "epic poem in prose", and within the book as a "novel in verse". Despite supposedly completing the trilogy's second part, Gogol destroyed it shortly before his death. Although the novel ends in mid-sentence (like Sterne's Sentimental Journey)
The Night Before Christmas: "Or The Night of Christmas Eve"
Genres: Children's Books, Christian Living, Fiction
One snowy night, Solokha, a witch, steals the stars and the Devil takes the moon, leaving the townspeople of Dikanka in pitch darkness. The Devil has orchestrated this because he is upset with the town blacksmith, Vakula, who paints religious pictures as a pastime.
The Orange Fairy Book
The children who read fairy books, or have fairy books read to them, do not read prefaces, and the parents, aunts, uncles, and cousins, who give fairy books to their daughters, nieces, and cousins, leave prefaces unread. For whom, then, are prefaces written?
The Elements of Drawing
["The Elements of Drawing" was written during the winter of 1856. The First Edition was published in 1857; the Second followed in the same year, with some additions and slight alterations. The Third Edition consisted of sixth thousand, 1859; seventh thousand, 1860; and eighth thousand, 1861.
The work was partly reproduced in "Our Sketching Club," by the Rev. R. St. John Tyrwhitt, M.A., 1874; with new editions in 1875, 1882, and 1886.
Mr. Ruskin meant, during his tenure of the Slade Professorship at Oxford, to recast his teaching, and to write a systematic manual for the use of his Drawing School, under the title of "The Laws of Fésole." Of this only vol. i. was completed, 1879; second edition, 1882.
As, therefore, "The Elements of Drawing" has never been completely superseded, and as many readers of Mr. Ruskin's works have expressed a desire to possess the book in its old form, it is now reprinted as it stood in 1859.]

Q: Update a field of a document in Firestore database I am an iOS app developer. Right now, I need my app to update his/her scores in the database (Firestore) when a user tabs a button.
I only know that it is possible to add new documents to the database according to the official doc: https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/quickstart#swift. But can I simply update one key-value pair within a document at a time?
For example, I have to add 10 points to the user with ID: 1234 if he/she clicks the correct button. So first of all, I need to read the data according to the unique ID, and catch his/her current points. Then put back the points plus 10.
It looks like Firestorage only allows users to upload an entire document once a time.
Swift code snippet is appreciated!

A: You can update a single or multiple fields in a document with the updateData call.
To atomically increment a numeric value can you can use the FieldValue.increment operation. From that last link comes this example:
washingtonRef.updateData([
    "population": FieldValue.increment(Int64(50))
])

This code increments the population field in the document by 50, and leave other fields in the document unmodified.

Apple Gets Serious About Social, Adds Familiar Functions to iMessage
Apple's most popular app will be getting its biggest overhaul to date when the company releases iOS 8 in the fall
Matt Kapko (CIO (US))
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Apple has been flattering competitors for years. The company has famously copied, redesigned and reimagined many more products and services than it has ever invented.
Now Apple is taking a renewed interest in social media, as it prepares to introduce many of today's most popular messaging features in the next version of iOS. Maybe Apple can finally crack the code for social by doing what it does best: Mimicking other companies' technologies, incorporating them into its products and improving the user experience.
"Very flattering to see Apple 'borrow' numerous WhatsApp features into iMessage in iOS 8 #innovation," WhatsApp co-founder and CEO Jan Koum tweeted within hours of Apple's opening keynote at its annual developers conference last month. Never mind that many of WhatsApp's features were borrowed from other apps and services that came before it.
Koum may not see the irony in that because the lines between theft and flattery in business are defined by timing and perception. By the same token, only he knows what was on his mind when he wrote this as his second tweet ever in September 2011: "Is imitation still the sincerest form of flattery?"
One Company's Thief is Another Company's Genius
Apple is introducing so many changes and new features to iMessage that practically every messaging app on the planet could claim it's being copied to some extent or another. Self-destructing messages, location sharing, in-line audio and video messages, new swipe gestures and a major overhaul of group messaging are all on the menu for the next version of iMessage.
Calls, texts, video and photos are tasks that oftentimes require multiple apps for many users, says Doug Schumacher, co-founder of social media content strategy tool Zuum. "There's still plenty of room for innovation, and Apple's history of simplifying user experiences by minimizing things like buttons would seem well-suited to the task," he adds.
The evolution of messaging, social and mobile are inherent functionalities that became a natural extension for Apple with iMessage, says Altimeter Group principal analyst Brian Solis. "I don't know that it's necessarily Apple's intention to do anything in social. I think it's just making iOS 8 and iMessage a much more comprehensive platform that people can use without having to go to disparate apps," he says.
By integrating features enjoyed by users of WhatsApp, Snapchat and others into iMessage, Apple is enhancing value for new and future iOS users without brazenly competing against those startups, says Solis. "Competing at an app level is probably not worth Apple's time. And if it wanted to compete on an app level it would buy one of these. I think this is much more of a functionality standpoint to strengthen the overall universe," he adds.
Making iMessage More Robust for the Masses
"Single use (apps) is just a reflection of today's discombobulated digital society," says Solis, offering a day in the life scenario to help illustrate his point. "Right in front of you as you're walking on a beautiful afternoon is a mother duck and her little ducklings passing right before you in a nice single-file line. It's a moment that used to be one you would just stop and say 'ahh.' But now it's a moment that you have to capture and share. And in that moment you've got to make a decision: what app are you going to use? Is it Instagram, is it Facebook, is it Twitter, is it Vine, or is it a combination of all of these things?"
"It's almost like a basket-of-remotes problem, you have 30 different remote controls in your living room to control every device and it's overwhelming," Solis says. "So integration made sense, but single purpose makes sense when that's where your friends are. I know it sounds completely counterintuitive, but all of this stuff seems to be."
That network effect among friends, colleagues and family remains as long as these single purpose, frictionless apps keep their sense of cool, says Solis. "They all in some way, shape or form run their course, but what Apple does is each time it absorbs the good natures of these apps and makes it its own, which strengthens the bigger platform as the next trend is rising up."
Above all else, Apple needs to do what it's always done: Create a better user experience, says Schumacher. "If Apple doesn't make these changes, it's likely Google and Android will. WhatsApp and Snapchat have risen quickly, but for most mobile apps I don't think there are a lot of barriers to switching. That can work to Apple's advantage."
