If you love great wine and food, get your taste buds ready for this special weekend! Grand View's 1st annual winter wine weekend offers a variety of flavorful fun, education, and of course, more than enough wine. Just over 110 vintages to be exact.
The event kicks off Saturday, January 26th with an afternoon of culinary and wine seminars, classes and demos. Our friends from Cooks of Crocus Hill will be running a demonstration called "Risotto 3 Ways" where they will demo proper cooking procedures, recipes, hints and tips and, most importantly, the opportunity to taste these exquisite flavors. Other classes will include Reading French Wine Labels, Sushi Making and Saki Tasting, Discovering Italian Wines, Cheese Tastings and more.
Following the afternoon seminars, classes and demos, we invite everyone to our wine cellarand restaurant, Cru, for a soup tasting and a chance to experience some of our finer wines among the area's intimate atmosphere.
Saturday evening is the real taste bud kicker – The de'Vine Grand Tasting. Attendees will taste over 100 wines from reps and distributors throughout the state and help you discover new flavors and wine favorites. To compliment the tantalizing wine, four of our restaurants will demo several culinary delights and heavy appetizers at each display, allowing each individual to pair and contrast some exceptional combinations.
Following the Grand Tasting, attendees can retreat to a campfire seminar dedicated to a special s'more tasting and port wine discussion. Others can relax and discuss as we prepare for the final dueling piano show from Crazy Keys.
Furthermore, those who RSVP early will have the ability to participate in two very special and unique events that have very limited seating. Friday night we are honored to have Christophe Hedges from Hedges Family Estates in Washington joining our very own Executive Chef Michael Manders for an incredible wine dinner—five wines with five courses for an additional $70 per person. And on Sunday morning, join Cooks of Crocus Hill and Laurent-Perrier for an exclusive Champagne Brunch Demo in Cru for an additional $25 per person.
Excluding the special events, the weekend is only $199 per person, which includes lodging and breakfast each morning. This also includes one of Grand View's signature wines and a special gift from us. For those who already have cabins in the area, the Saturday Event pass is only $95 per person.


I purchased a master spa and I have had nothing but problems. I told them I was building a new house and I had these "warrantees" that apparently expired the minute I moved the hot tub 6 months after I purchased it.
EVERY part has been replaced, no warrantees because of every reason in the world. no return calls from my dealer. At a cost of over $11,000 - I should have just put in a new pool with heat.
Even the cover that had a warrantee didn't apply.
I ordered that too because it was a bad cover.
I paid over $5,000 in repairs already within the last 3 years. northing is cheap on this waste of money.

The genius of Dickens
7th February 2012 1st July 2016 Louise Jack 21st-century items, New to the Library
Today, 7th February 2012, is the bicentenary of Charles Dickens's birth.
Although a writer from the Victorian era, Dickens's work transcends his time, language and culture. He remains a massive contemporary influence throughout the world and his writings continue to inspire film, TV, art, literature, artists and academia.
During his thirty-five years at the top of the literary tree in the English-speaking world, Dickens published fourteen and a half full-length novels and a great amount of shorter fiction, including five Christmas books and twenty Christmas stories as well as a mass of sketches, essays, topical journalism and other prose.
He also edited a monthly miscellany for two years and two successive weekly magazines for twenty years. He made dozens of eloquent and powerful speeches to a great variety of charitable organisations up and down the country and busied himself with an immense amount of work in this field including, for many years, actively overseeing the running of a 'Home for homeless women'.
During the last twelve years of his life he also gave phenomenally successful public readings of his own work to enraptured audiences throughout Britain and in the north-eastern United States.
Michael Slater has spent half a century reading Dickens, writing about him and most of all enjoying him. In his inspiring book, The genius of Dickens, Slater captures the ideas and beliefs, the social and artistic ideals of 'Dickensian values' and the ambition that helped shape Dickens's prodigious output.
You can find further details of The genius of Dickens on the main catalogue, available in 'Catalogues' on the Library's website.

Home Sectors Basic Materials Why gold and the US dollar have an inverse relationship
Why gold and the US dollar have an inverse relationship
By Anuradha Garg
, Last Updated on Sep 23, 2014
Inverse relationship between gold and the U.S. dollar
Gold and the U.S. dollar were associated when the gold standard was being used. During this time, the value of a unit of currency was tied to the specific amount of gold. The gold standard was used from 1900 to 1971. The separation was made in 1971. The U.S. dollar and gold were freed. They could be valued based on supply and demand. The U.S. dollar became a fiat currency—a currency that gets its value from government regulation, but isn't backed by a physical commodity. It traded on foreign markets. The U.S. dollar was used as a reserve currency.
Gold moved to floating exchange rates after 1971. This made its price vulnerable to the U.S. dollar's external value. In 2008, the International Monetary Fund (or IMF) estimated that 40–50% of the moves in the gold prices since 2002 were dollar-related. A 1% change in the effective external value of the U.S. dollar led to more than a 1% change in gold prices.
Inverse relationship
As the above chart shows, there's an inverse relationship between the trade-weighted U.S. dollar and the price of gold. Trade-weighted value shows how the U.S. dollar is gaining or losing purchasing power—compared to its trading partners. However, this inverse relationship isn't as precise as it used to be under the gold standard. Even though the gold standard is gone, there's still a psychological tilt towards gold whenever the value of the U.S. dollar decreases. The inverse relationship remains because:
A falling dollar increases the value of other countries' currencies. This increases the demand for commodities including gold. It also increases the prices.
When the U.S. dollar starts to lose its value, investors look for alternative investment sources to store value. Gold is an alternative.
However, it's important to understand that it's possible for the U.S. dollar and gold price to increase at the same time. This can occur because of a crisis in some other country or region. This would cause investors to flock to safer assets—the U.S. dollar and gold. The U.S. dollar is also driven by many factors—like monetary policy and inflation in the U.S. vs. other countries. It's also driven by economic prospects in the U.S. vs. other countries. Investors need to consider all of these factors.
It's important to get a sense of the direction that gold prices will take. Gold stocks like Goldcorp Inc. (GG), Barrick Gold Corp. (ABX), Newmont Mining Corporation (NEM), Agnico-Eagle Mines (AEM), Yamana Gold (AUY), and exchange-traded funds (or ETFs) like the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) and the Gold Miners Index (GDX) are connected to gold prices.

Sleep trainer clocks to save your sleep!
Isn't one of the best parenting experiences when the kids wake you up ready to play at 5am, said no one ever. The kids finally have bedtime down pat, giving you a smidgeon more me time in the evenings. Then wham! Your child's cheery face welcomes you to a new day, with a bright and breezy 5am poke in the eye. Here's some great news for the pre dawn wake-up crew.
Sleep trainer clocks are designed with exactly this phenomenon in mind. These cute little clocks help your child learn when it's time to sleep or wake by simply checking whether their little clock buddy has its eyes open or closed. Momo the Monkey from BabyZoo has an analogue and a digital clock to help your child learn to read the time. Bedtime and wake time will soon be easy for your child to read on any clock, which gives them a great start to learning this tricky concept.
Just push the button to close Momo's eyes and let your child know it's time to sleep. Set the time for Momo to wake and he'll open his eyes on the dot so your child knows it's ok to wake up the house. You can also set a jungle sound alarm in case your child ever – and excuse me whilst I compose myself – sleeps in. Not a concept we are very familiar with, but if that's you, please don't ever tell me. Momo can be a part of your family for $49.95.
Zazu's Sam the Sheeptrainer is another fabulous sleep trainer. Like Momo he uses his eyes as a visual cue, but also has a screen that changes colour between dark blue for night time, green half an hour before wake time and blue for daytime. He also has an alarm clock and inbuilt nightlight and costs $74.95. Both these fabulous sleep savers are available from Urban Baby.

Conversations and Oral Histories
SAVE THE EARTH! Vocalist Adryan Russ Reflects on Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster!
June 20, 2018 / Brett Homenick
Adryan Russ poses with a Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster poster in 2007. Photo © Adryan Russ.
Adryan Russ is a prolific singer/songwriter who has written music and lyrics for an off-Broadway musical and even films, such as the lyric for "White Lies" for The Check Is in the Mail… (1986), starring Brian Dennehy and Anne Archer. Her career writing songs for films dates back to the early '70s when she co-wrote and sang the song "Save the Earth" for the AIP version of Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster (1971). In 2002, LML Music (www.lmlmusic.com) released Everyone Has A Story: The Songs of Adryan Russ, produced by Bruce Kimmel and arranged by Grant Geissman, which features "Save the Earth" as a bonus track. In 2007, Ms. Russ spoke with Brett Homenick about her memories writing and singing one of the most popular songs featured in a Godzilla film.
Brett Homenick: How did you get involved with AIP (American International Pictures)?
Adryan Russ: That was a long time ago. I was a secretary at the time, and I wanted more than anything to work in the music division. But at the time, they were looking for somebody to work in the legal department. I interviewed with Bill Immerman, who was head of the legal department at the time. I liked him and decided to take the job. While I was working there, I made it my business to get to know who was working in the music division and to find out how they were doing things there.
That's how I met Guy Hemric, who is my co-lyricist on the song. I got to know him, and he was very involved, not only in working with the music division there with a man named Al Simms, who headed up the music department, but he was also writing some of the lyrics for a lot of the AIP beach party movies.
I told him that I love to sing, and I love to song-write, and he asked to hear some material sometime. So I showed him some of the things I had been working on, and he heard me singing on my own demos, and that's when he suggested that maybe we could try and write something together.
BH: How did you get involved with writing and singing the theme song to Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster?
AR: Guy was in charge of things. He was also working with a guy named Don Ciminelli who was running Radio Recorders, and he had heard me sing as well, and so he invited me to participate. This is true any time that if you're in the right place at the right time, things can happen. They just invited me to sing, and when Don and I were working on the song, we watched the clip of the movie on the screen at Radio Recorders, and we tried our best to write in English and match the mouth movement of the girl who was singing in Japanese, so we'd come as close as possible to what we thought she was singing. It's not perfect, but we came as close as we could.
BH: Now were you given a translated version of the original Japanese song, or was it just completely from scratch that you wrote it?
AR: Oh, it was translated. We saw the translation, and we knew what the movie was about. We had seen the movie, and their interpretation of it was that the earth needed to be saved from the Smog Monster. So we came up with "Save the Earth," and it seemed to match what this girl's mouth was saying in terms of syllables. So that's how that happened.
BH: Now did you find that it was more difficult to come up with lyrics that expressed the "save the earth" theme or to match the mouth movements? Which did you find more difficult?
AR: That's a good question! I guess it was more difficult to try and catch the mouth movement because you want to say what's most important without being concerned with mouth movement. Although the Japanese performer seemed to have a lot of open — what I would call vowel movement — mouth movements so that whenever she would open her mouth, if you just used a vowel sound in there, it would work pretty well. But I would say that was definitely more difficult than writing the lyric.
BH: This is probably too (much of) an obscure question for you to remember, but do you recall any lyrics that you were thinking about writing that you decided to scrap because they just didn't work, or they didn't match the mouth movements?
AR: In all honesty, I usually do remember that kind of thing, but I don't remember that case because it was a long time ago. I do remember that Guy and I did two or three drafts of it. We would just sit in a room and go back and forth, trying to find the right line that would work, never knowing, of course, that this movie was going to be a classic.
I have to tell you, I spent many years not telling people that I had written the lyric and sung the theme song for this movie. (laughs) Something about it was embarrassing to me, and every time I would mention it to somebody, they thought it was incredible that I had this opportunity. Eventually, I thought, "Well, what's wrong with my thinking? I need to change that point of view."
The producer of my CD (Everyone Has a Story, which features the "Save the Earth" song as a bonus track), Bruce Kimmel, loves movies. He probably knows old movies better than anybody else I know. He knew that I had done this one because I had revealed it to him. He said, "Let's find the old track and put it on as a bonus track." I said, "No, absolutely not." He said, "You're going to be surprised at the interest in that track." I said, "Well, bonus track, huh? Nobody knows it's there unless you leave your CD on too long. Okay, I'll do it!" (laughs) So I'm still amazed that you and I are talking now and that people are still interested in this song and this movie.
BH: That also segues into another question I wanted to ask. You have kind of answered it with what you just said, but do you remember anything from the recording session, maybe any interesting stories that might have happened?
AR: I have to tell you: I do remember in the recording studio, both Guy Hemric and Don Ciminelli, the producer, and whoever else was around, came in and did the male voices. They were not singers per se, and all they would do is echo what I was singing. I'd sing "Save the Earth," and they'd echo in deep voices, "Save the Earth." I thought, "What kind of chorus is this?!" But it was all in good fun.
BH: Now you also recorded, I think, a different version of the song for when it appears later on in the movie, during the nightclub scene. Is that correct, or is that the same version that you recorded for the intro?
AR: It's either the same version, or it's very, very close. We may have done two versions to fit both scenes. I know we recorded it more than once, so I suspect the producer used one version over the opening credits and another in the bar scene.
BH: I seem to remember that they were a little bit different. But that's just my impression.
AR: It could be that we did a couple of versions, knowing that the song was going to be over the titles and that it was also going to be in that bar scene where the girl is dancing on the table. I'm not remembering specifically, but there's a good chance of that.
BH: What did you think of the bar scene, actually, when the guy's (drunk), and he sees the people with the fish heads, and all that psychedelic stuff was going on. Do you remember what you thought when you were seeing that for the first time?
AR: I was thrilled to be a part of it! (laughs) That's all I'm going to say about that! (laughs)
BH: Is there anything else you'd like to say, about Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster or anything else in general?
AR: Just that I really feel privileged that you're inviting me to talk about it. I think the movie came out in '72, so we know how long ago that was. I am amazed that there's still such interest in it. I'm just excited that I was a part of it, and I can't thank you enough for contacting me.
Donald J. Ciminelli adds: "With the U.S. release of Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster happening in '72, we were working on it probably a year before in early 1971. Keep in mind that at that time there were no computer-controlled ADR systems. Everybody used click tracks to cue either dialogue replacement actors or (in our case) singers. What we did was post-synchronization of lyrics while American International Pictures used other resources to rewrite the story and replace the dialogue.
"At the time we (my editor Marty Roth, our Sound Engineer Jay Antista, and me) were part of EMC Corporation. This St. Paul-based company owned Radio Recorders and Film Designers in Hollywood and had an education products division in Minnesota.
"OK, on with the story. AIP would give us M&E (music and sound effects) tracks recorded on 35mm mag stripe film. As long as we went from one sprocketed medium to another, we wouldn't lose sync. Those tracks were without lyrics, so we used the release print to see where the vocals fit in the final film. We'd make a video cassette of the release print for Adryan Russ and Guy Hemric to work with along with an audiotape cassette of the music-only track. Adryan and Guy were masters at developing new lyrics designed to fit existing scenes and new story lines. That is to say nothing of Adryan's great voice for all occasions. Incidentally, if you want an example of her range, get a copy of Jack and the Witch (1967) or Little Norse Prince (1968) to experience Adryan's ability to go from sweet and romantic to the hard-driving Haight-Ashbury sound of "Save the Earth."
"Anyway, my editor made huge loops of the scenes to be rerecorded, and we used our largest studio so we could project the loops from the control room to the studio for Adryan and Guy to see. Then if we needed a chorus of voices, our staff knew no one was safe. I simply patrolled the halls with a hook and recruited volunteers. Then we overdubbed to match the crowd scenes. That's essentially how it was done back in the stone age. Hope this helps."

The Publicly Available Specification, or PAS 91 as it's more commonly known, is a standardised pre-qualification questionnaire that aims to reduce the need for suppliers to complete a multitude of questionnaires for different commissioning authorities when bidding for contracts. Here's an explanation of what it is, and how it can help you save time and money.
What are the benefits of PAS 91?
Increase your confidence that the questionnaire and supporting documents are completed correctly and meet the commissioning authorities' requirements.
Mandatory questions – these capture general information on areas such as company structure, contact details, financial data and health and safety, which are tailored depending on whether you are a contractor, designer or service provider.
Optional questions – these cover areas such as quality management, environmental management, equal opportunities and diversity, and building information modelling – it's worth remembering here that you might be exempt from the need to provide detailed responses if you have the relevant credentials, for example registration with a Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) scheme.
Additional questions – this section enables the commissioning authority to ask questions specific to the works or services they require. In theory they should be relevant and proportionate.
There are three things that are worth noting: firstly, although PAS 91 provides a common format and set of questions, it does not provide a standard for what an acceptable or adequate response may be. Secondly, the format of the PAS 91 document might vary from buyer to buyer, and anyone who has completed an Excel-based version for the first time will know how daunting it can look at first sight. And thirdly, the PAS 91 should not be completed as a stand-alone document, but is typically requested alongside a construction tender submission as part of the process.
As tender writing experts we can support you with the completion of your PAS 91 questionnaire, including talking you through the various sections to identify where you can claim exemption, as well ensuring your submission is fully compliant.
If you would like more information on pre-qualification questionnaires for construction, please head over to our PQQ construction resources page for important features and more helpful information, or contact us now to talk to a member of our team.


The multitool is a grossly unappreciated invention. Maybe it's because we simply take it for granted right up to the point when we need it to get us out of a tight jam. What is so special about the multitool? Would you believe it has been around since the age of the Roman Empire more than 1,800 years ago? Those first tools were issued to soldiers for daily use around camp and look strikingly similar to some available today. In the centuries since, the multitool in its various forms has been standard issue on NASA space missions, used to dismantle IED bombs in combat zones, and let us not forget Aaron Ralston who used a cheap multitool to amputate his own arm which was pinned under a boulder in the Utah desert.
The most widely recognized example of the multitool is the Swiss Army knife and to many people, myself included, the iconic brand associated with that style of tool is––Victorinox. Their SwissTool Spirit Plus with Ratchet is one of the nicest multitools I have ever owned. Given their century old legacy I shouldn't be surprised it is so nice. After all, I still use the Victorinox pocket knife I was given for my tenth birthday more than three decades ago.
The SwissToot Spirit Ratchet, like all of their multitools, is made of premium Stainless Steel and packed with 38 useful functions. It has everything from a small eyeglass screwdriver to an actual ratchet with hardened steel bits. It has the needle nose pliers commensurate with a good pocket tool as well as various instruments for cutting, sawing, and filing. There are other critical features I require like a can opener, which I frequently employ to open my favorite tin of imported Spanish sardines, and of course a cork screw because––wine.
Like many products, it's difficult to get a sense of how refined the SwissTool Spirit is without holding it in hand. The center pivot of the pliers is smooth as silk and each individual tool opens with a fluid motion and locks firmly in place. It is an overused cliche, but the SwissTool is a perfect example of what we have all come to appreciate as, Swiss precision.
In an effort to bolster the tool count, many manufacturers pile on the additional accessories with little regard for the quality and functionality of those features. The included miniature ratchet packaged in the beautiful leather carrying case is surprisingly nice. I counted 36 detents in the ratchet mechanism, the bits held firmly in place without any risk of falling out unexpectedly.


Any host worth their salt greets their guests with a drink. But if you plan to hold a cocktail-style affair with lots of standing around for drinks and canapés, ensure that the finger food you're serving is just that: bite-sized pieces that are easy to handle and devour with one hand. No one wants to have to choose between their glass of bubbles and your delicious – but unwieldy – fist-sized sliders.
Classic recipes are always in style. Don't be afraid to serve up old standards, the key is to put your own spin on them. Swap frozen sausage rolls for pork and fennel sausage rolls, or your packet party pies for gourmet mini shepherd's pies. It's all about putting a modern twist on your old-school favourites to keep your guests impressed and sated.
Don't leave your dinner guests hanging. If you have invited people for a sit-down dinner from 7pm, ideally the meal should be served an hour after arrival. The key is preparation. Make a list of what you want to cook a week before, go shopping and buy everything you need and, if you're trying out new recipes, test them out on your friends and family first. But most importantly, make sure you leave extra time on the day to prepare the food – and yourself – so you don't feel frazzled and spend the dinner dashing in and out of the kitchen.
When it comes to entertaining, more is always more. Make extra of everything, and if it doesn't get eaten, you'll get to take the next night off cooking and devour your appetising appetisers like nobody's watching. Even if you have asked guests to bring their own drinks, it's always good to have a few extra bottles of everything on hand should anything run out. It is Christmas after all!
Don't go making last-minute changes to your menu or challenging yourself to a recipe that you can never quite seem to get right. Failing to prepare is preparing to fail when it comes to entertaining. Have a food plan and stick to it. Cook recipes that you know like the back of your hand, or ones you have practiced before. This will save you from stress and potential disasters.


A growing number of mental health providers are beginning to embed quality improvement across their organisations, with some encouraging results. The approach is based on the concept that sustained improvement is best achieved by empowering frontline teams, service users and carers to design, implement and test changes to services.
This report from the KingsFund describes the quality improvement journey of three mental health organisations (two in England and one in Singapore). It provides key insights and lessons for others considering embarking on a similar journey.


I'm not sure if I've mentioned it much on my blog before but I'm a 'bikers wife' a biker who today has stepped it up a few gears and has passed his bike test and got himself a full bike licence, meaning a bigger engine and bike size to what he usually rides. He's well known for his monkey bikes hence his monkey boi nickname.
I can't follow in a car with him on his bike as it makes me feel physically sick to watch just in case something awful was to happen, He pops out somewhere and if I don't hear from him when he should have reached his destination every worst case scenario has gone through my mind and I'm watching for that call. It must be like living with his mum all over again as the rules get laid no being silly, no showing off, no wheelies and whatever is possible to do on a bike.
You hope that being a biker for years means your that little bit safer if not safe as safe can be and sadly it doesn't very recently a friend of Andy's was killed on his motorbike, A car done a right turn in a no right turn road which cost Andy's friend his life! A man that has been a biker for many many years, always wore his leathers and very well known within the bike community. This mans life has been taken to save someone a few minutes on their journey now I know this person has no doubt done that no right turn when he/she wasn't supposed to many times, thought nothing of doing it again to cut some time from their journey and didn't intend to take anyone's life but by doing just that when the signs are very clear it cost a man his life. Now I know I'm a bikers wife but I'm not about to point blame at all car drivers as I know their are many bikers that drive like total d*cks and simply drive like idiots showing off not only putting themselves at risk but others to but Al wasn't one of those guys and has been taken away far to soon!
It seems all I've read lately is motorbike accidents and it's setting in even more anxiety knowing Andy has now gone to a 4OO from a 14O engine and a considerably bigger bike, I know his a big boy and his been a rider for years now but as I said above it doesn't make him safe from other peoples actions on the road.
I never had the pleasure of meeting Al but I've heard many great things about him, I can't even begin to imagine the pain his lady feels I see the hurt behind Andy's eyes when he heard the news and the news of his funeral possibly being held on his best friends birthday another friend of Andy's who is no longer with us.

Quotes from satisfied NationJob customers in the Sidney/Shelby County, OH area.
The McGill Group, Inc., Sharon McGill: "Recently, I've talked to several candidates who've said they prefer working with NJN over Monster.com. They feel your site is more user friendly and the PJ Scout part does a much better job of sending targeted positions to them. I also think you do a great job out there and promote other to use NJN all the time. Thanks for all your hard work and great customer service."


The great thing about traveling is that even when you're traveling through unfamiliar landscapes, surrounded by people you don't know, you're never truly alone. People are generally welcoming and friendly everywhere you go and striking up a conversation with someone can turn a stranger into a friend within minutes.
The world is a lot less scary than we think.
Often, the idea of traveling can seem overwhelming and frightening. It pushes us out of our comfort zone and forces us to interact with the world in a different way than we're used to. By traveling the world you realize that people are mostly the same everywhere – good and kind and not out to harm you.
You can survive with a lot less than you think.
It's easy to over pack for any trip but many times when you're traveling you realize you only needed about half of what you actually brought. A great idea is to look up packing lists on your tablet for the region you'll be visiting and reading what other travelers recommend. Pack your suitcase or backpack then look at what you have and eliminate anything unnecessary. You'll thank yourself later when you want more room to bring home gifts.
You learn how to rely on others.
We're so used to being independent adults taking care of ourselves but traveling is the one experience that brings us back to a childlike state. Everything is new and unknown and you look at everything with a sense of wonder and curiosity. You ask for directions or tips on where to go around town and realize a big part of your journey is relying on the kindness of strangers.
The world is filled with incredible food.
At home we're so used to eating the same type of meals day in and day out but when you're on the road you're more likely to step outside of your comfort zone and try something you've never had before. While traveling you open yourself up to new experiences and realize just how amazing the food is all around the world.
They often say it's the journey, not the destination that makes a trip and that's one of the greatest truths about traveling. You can make a connection with someone you're sitting next to on a bus or while waiting to board your next flight. You learn to find joy in the small moments in your trip even if it's just pulling your tablet out and sharing funny videos with the person sitting next to you.
Travel is all about change. You learn so much about yourself while on the road. It's an introspective process that forces you to reflect on your life and who you are. When you put on your headphones and tune out the rest of the world you start thinking about everything going on in your life and what you'd like to do differently when you get back home.
Travel forces you to slow down and to become still for a moment. You put everything back at home on pause and learn not to worry about everything. These are the moments when we appreciate how amazing life truly is. In those quiet moments of reflection it's great to grab your tablet and write about what you've seen thus far on your trip.
You learn how to question the status quo.
When you're traveling abroad you see just how different things are compared to your own country and culture. You begin questioning things you've been so accustomed to your entire life, and you begin to have a new perspective on life and your cultural standards. Suddenly everything you thought you knew slightly changes and once you arrive back home you realize you're no longer the same person as when you left.
You become more connected with the world around you.
You're trying new foods, possibly learning new languages, and meeting people from various places around the world. Through these experiences you become more connected to the world in which we live and realize just how similar we are regardless of where we call home.
Strawberry Pretzel Squares Are The Sweetest Treat We've Ever Seen!


Base layers aren't as exciting as a new tent, a stove or a pack.
Base layers seem prosaic and boring.
But, base layers are arguably one of the keys to enjoying the outdoors.
If they do not fit right or function correctly, you can be too hot or cold, chafing can happen and blisters may form.
Such a simple class of clothing can have large impact upon a person's enjoyment of the outdoors.
Yesterday I look at the "new classic" of merino wool base layers. They are warm, breathe well but are fragile I find.
Something, for me, won't stand the test of time for hard and fairly consistent use when I am paying for the clothing out of my own pocket.
On the other hand, there is a simple wool layer that HAS stood the test of time. Something I've used a lot in the past few years: Lands End ragg wool socks.
Ragg wool, of course, is the more coarse and thick grade of wool that has fallen out of favor for most outdoor use.
I specify Lands End socks as I had no idea who made these socks for them.
They are tick, warm and durable. I had two pairs, but I lost a sock on one New Years trip. 🙁 I believe each pair was $10 or so ea. Quite the affordable bargain.
After several years of hard use, they are still going strong. Not packed out, no serious worn spots and still warm. When I have to swap in another pair, be it from Woolrich, Wigwam or military issued Danner socks, I find they do not work quite as well as these ones from Lands End.
Why a thick wool sock? Because the heavy leather boots I use for ski touring, a thicker sock (coupled with a liner sock) is just right.
Lands End ragg wool socks…something simple and effective. They work.
There are decent "merino wool" socks being sold at Walmart under the Rocky or Realtree labels in the sporting goods department. They are soft, reasonably thick and sell for around $6.99 to $9.99. I don't have any of the Lands End socks to compare them to, and they are currently unavailable. I have been wearing these socks for a couple of years now and haven't thrown any away, although I just throw them in the washer and dryer with the synthetics.
Yep. Unfortunately those socks I love have not bee sold for a while. Pity. Have to check out the Wally World specials at some point.
Raggsokk, a Norwegian classic! The first defender against frostbites. https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raggsokker (In Norwegian, but google does a reasonable translation.

The Three Stages of Spiritual Transformation
A Free Seminar
with Jeff Carreira
Recording Available
Sunday, January 8th, 2023
Online via Zoom Video Conferencing
At the beginning of this year, I feel inspired to explore spiritual transformation with you.
In this event I will share the intricacies of how I have come to understand the spiritual path and how to best navigate it as we explore the three stages of spiritual transformation: inner freedom, spiritual breakthrough, and soul development.
When we speak about spiritual transformation, we are referring to a dramatic shift in what inspires and drives our life. Before such a transformation our motivations in life are tightly bound to the concerns of this earthly existence, but afterward we see that our life here on Earth is part of a larger existence that extends beyond our ability to imagine. We recognize that there is a higher calling beginning to propel us forward. The change that takes us from being someone who sees their higher potentials to someone who is living them whole-heartedly is spiritual transformation.
In this call we will:
Discover how each of the three stages plays a crucial part in the transformative journey.
Explore practices can support us to pass into and beyond each stage of the process.
Learn to embrace the inner attitudes and perspectives that can carry us forward.
If you feel called to the possibility of deeper spiritual transformation in this coming year, please join me for this free online event.

Q: jQuery - Convert checkbox table to json I need to convert a table of checkboxes into json format to save on my mongodb.
Here is my table:

I want a JSON like this or something like that:
Days: {
    Monday: {
        08h: true
    },
    Saturday: {
        08h: true,
        10h: true
    },
    Sunday: {
        08h: true,
        10h: true
    }
}

Im using javascript and jQuery
I tried this function but I'm only getting the selected day instead of the array day + hour
jQuery.fn.extend({
    serializeCustomPropertyArray: function() {
        return this.map(function() {
            return this.elements ? jQuery.makeArray(this.elements) : this;
        }).filter(function() {
            return jQuery(this).attr('data-name') &&
                (this.checked || /select|textarea/i.test(this.nodeName) ||
                        /text|hidden|password|search/i.test(this.type));
        }).map(function(i, elem) {
            var val = jQuery(this).val();
            return val == null ? null : jQuery.isArray(val) ?
                jQuery.map(val, function(val, i) {
                    return { name: jQuery(elem).attr('data-name'), value: val };
                }) : { name: jQuery(elem).attr('data-name'), value: val };
        }).get();
    },
    serializeToJSON: function() {
        var objectMap = this.serializeCustomPropertyArray();
        var objectJson = new Object;
        jQuery.each(objectMap, function() {
            objectJson[this.name] = (this.value !== null) ? this.value : 'null';
        });
        return JSON.stringify(objectJson);

    }
});

A: Each column should have its own name, e.g. Monday, Tuesday etc.
<input type="checkbox" value="08h" name="monday" />
<input type="checkbox" value="10h" name="monday" />
[...]
<input type="checkbox" value="19h" name="saturday" />

Once your HTML is sorted as such, retrieving the names and values of all selected checkboxes will be easy.
// First we need a function to check if an object is empty (to be used later)
function isEmptyObject(obj) {
  for(var prop in obj) {
    if (Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty.call(obj, prop)) {
      return false;
    }
  }
  return true;
}

// Get all checked checkboxes
var checkedBoxes = document.querySelectorAll('.messageCheckbox:checked');

var checked = [];

// Put names and values side-by-side in 2d array
// e.g. checked[x][0] = [name] and checked[x][1] = [value]
for(var i = 0; i < (checkedBoxes.length - 1); i++) {
    checked.push([checkedBoxes[i].name, checkedBoxes[i].value]);
}

var Days = {};

for(var j in checked) {
    // If there is not currently hour values inside Days.[day] then create an empty object so we can put an hour in
    if(isEmptyObject(Days[checked[j][0]])) Days[checked[j][0]] = {};
    // Set Days.[day].[hour] = true;
    Days[checked[j][0]][checked[j][1]] = true;
}

var finalJSON = JSON.stringify(Days);

Pearl Jam Caricature 1992
Pearl Jam Caricature 1992, shown here with Dave Abbruzzese age 24, Stone Gossard age 26, Eddie Vedder age 28, Mike McCready age 26 and Jeff Ament age 29.
Pearl Jam is an American rock band formed in 1990 in Seattle, Washington. Formed after the demise of Gossard and Ament's previous band, Mother Love Bone, Pearl Jam broke into the mainstream with its debut album, Ten, in 1991. One of the key bands in the grunge movement of the early 1990s, its members often shunned popular music industry practices such as making music videos or giving interviews.
After the demise of Mother Love Bone, Gossard started practicing with fellow Seattle guitarist Mike McCready, whose band, Shadow, had broken up; McCready in turn encouraged Gossard to reconnect with Ament.
After practicing for a while, the trio sent out a five-song demo tape in order to find a singer and a drummer. They gave former Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Jack Irons the demo to see if he would be interested in joining the band and to distribute the demo to anyone he felt might fit the lead vocal position. Irons passed on the invitation but gave the demo to his basketball friend, San Diego, California singer Eddie Vedder.
Vedder sent the tape with his vocals back to the three Seattle musicians, who were impressed enough to fly Vedder up to Seattle for an audition. Within a week, Vedder had joined the band.
With the addition of Dave Krusen on drums, the band took the name Mookie Blaylock, in reference to the then-active basketball player Mookie Blaylock. Mookie Blaylock soon signed to Epic Records and renamed themselves Pearl Jam.
Ament and McCready explained that Ament came up with "pearl", and that the band later settled on "Pearl Jam" after attending a concert by Neil Young, in which he extended his songs as improvisations of 15–20 minutes in length.
In 1991, Abbruzzese joined the group as drummer and played the rest of Pearl Jam's live shows supporting "Ten".
The band has produced ten studio albums with hits such as: "Black", "Alive", "Yellow Ledbetter", "Jeremy", "Given To Fly", "RearViewMirror", "Even Flow", "State Of Love And Trust", "Better Man", "Daughter", "Corduroy", "Just Breathe" and "Elderly Woman Behind The Counter In A Small Town".
While Nirvana had brought grunge to the mainstream in the early 1990s with "Nevermind", Pearl Jam's debut "Ten" outsold it in the United States, and the band became "the most popular American rock & roll band of the '90s" according to AllMusic.
By 2018, Pearl Jam had sold more than 85 million albums worldwide.
Pearl Jam was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 7, 2017, in its first year of eligibility.

A new chapter was scripted in urban Bengal's history last week, when New Town was awarded the Gold Certification for its Master Plan and Design, under the Green Cities Rating of CII's Indian Green Building Council (IGBC). "This is indeed a major leap in the government's mission to build a greener and a healthier state," said Debashis Sen, CMD, WBHIDCO Ltd, who was handed out a plaque and certificates at an award ceremony.
Sen added that New Town is India's first green-rated satellite city and is a unique blend of ancient architectural practices and modern technological innovations. This satellite township has already become a much sought-after location for many national and international companies, keen to enhance the quality of life of its employees and explore new growth opportunities.
Mr Sushil Mohta, Co-Chair, IGBC Kolkata Chapter & Chair, Core Group on Real Estate Infrastructure Subcommittee, CII Eastern Region, said: "New Town will be home to some of the finest, innovative and futuristic green building concepts and technologies, worth emulating by other cities across the globe." Architect Shakuntala Ghosh explained how New Town was designed as per IGBC Green Cities rating. It has unique sustainable and consumer-centric features such as app-based cycles for the entire city, e-buses, solar PV on canals, 20 MGD water treatment plant along with daily quality check, SCADA based control, 70 KM bamboo railing at medians, low embodied energy of materials used in construction, advance machinery for road cleaning & solid waste management, public green & open spaces and universal accessibility at road sections.
Currently around 325 green building projects in West Bengal, equivalent to approximately 175 million sq. ft, have already been green-rated or are under various stages of development. The additional FAR incentive offered by the Govt of West Bengal has played a catalytic role in the spread of the green building movement in the state. CII-IGBC also urged to HIDCO to consider the design, construction and certification of all their upcoming projects as green buildings. It called upon the government to introduce a policy to incentivize the renovation and retro-fitting of old buildings into green-rated existing buildings through property tax rebate, etc.

Why Gibraltar
Search Call Menu
Financial Technology ("FinTech") has been one of the fastest growing industries over the last decade. Companies and initiatives within this space are amongst the most exciting and disruptive. Smartphones, Mobile Banking and Crowd Investing Services are amongst the technologies that have challenged traditional ways of doing business on a global scale.
Blockchains and Distributed Ledger Technology ("DLT") in particular have the potential to securely simplify and reduce the cost of financial transactions. These technologies have created a wealth of opportunities both for the innovative transfer of value between consumers in the form of virtual currencies/Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Tether amongst others), secondary markets for the exchange of these cryptocurrencies and for entrepreneurs and institutions to raise capital, funding development and innovation through so called Initial Coin Offerings ("ICOs") referred to also as Token Sales.
Gibraltar Law and Regulation
Gibraltar in its continued commitment as a modern international finance centre has recognised the potential for business generation in the field and is fast becoming a leading global FinTech jurisdiction.
Of course, there is much publicised uncertainty surrounding these technologies and in order to create a market of reputation, longevity and professionalism the Gibraltar Government has recognised the need for the industry to be efficiently and pragmatically regulated. In October 2017, the Government of Gibraltar published the Financial Services (Distributed Ledger Technology Providers) Regulations 2017 (the "DLT Regulations") that came in to effect as of 1 January 2018.
The DLT Regulations govern all firms that use DLT to either store or transmit value to others. The Regulations contains 9 regulatory principles (the "Regulatory Principles") (see below) which Firms will be required to adhere to.
The Gibraltar Financial Services Commission ("GFSC") regulate DLT activities and firms wishing to carry out business activities in this area are required to apply to the GFSC for authorisation.
Whilst the DLT Regulations do not cover ICOs/Token Sales, the Gibraltar Government published their final Policy Document on Token Regulation on 9th March 2018 and regulations governing the sale and distribution of tokens are expected to be implemented in Q2 2018. In addition Gibraltar now houses the Gibraltar Blockchain Exchange ("GBX"), a subsidiary of the Gibraltar Stock Exchange, which aims to be a world-leading token sale platform and cryptocurrency exchange.
How can Acquarius Trust Group Help?
Acquarius Trust Group have a wealth of experience in corporate finance, regulatory advice and company management. Our team of professionals from varying disciplines is headed by Oliver Andlaw, Managing and Finance Director, an accountant with over 17 years' experience in the city of London, specialising in media and entrepreneurial corporate finance and Paul Miles our Operations Director, who has over 40 years' experience in banking and corporate finance and who sits on the ICO company management working panel with the GFSC. Acquarius Trust Group, together with our legal partners at Cruzlaw LLP, Nick Cruz and Christina Wright who have been advising FinTech clients since 2014 are a market leader in the Gibraltar FinTech Sector.
We can assist clients looking to set up FinTech projects in a number of ways:
Company Management and Fiduciary Services
A key focus of the Regulatory Principles is the demonstration of effective corporate governance arrangements. In particular, in the GFSC initial guidance on the application of the principles they state the following:
Areas of focus will include:
board structure, including composition to ensure that there is a good balance and mix of skills and experience to complement the business;
adequate application of the four eyes principle; and
application of mind and management from Gibraltar.
These principles (along with the other Regulatory Principles) are principles which all existing financial services firms, including Acquarius Trust Group will be very familiar.
Clients wishing to set up a FinTech business from Gibraltar will need to establish a Gibraltar Limited Company. At Acquarius Trust Group we have over 20 years' experience in Gibraltar Company Management. We provide a full range of services from Incorporation through to company secretarial, accounting and management of corporate transactions.
Whilst ideally the board of all regulated companies would be made up of local resident directors, the reality is that even for established businesses, a number of the directors usually reside outside Gibraltar. Relocation of senior staff can also be expensive, particularly for companies initially establishing themselves in Gibraltar. To mitigate these issues and satisfy the GFSC's requirements for balance of skillset, Mind and Management and Four-Eyes Principle, it is common for local regulated companies to appoint appropriately skilled corporate or professional individual directors from the local industry.
Acquarius Trust Group are licensed to provide Corporate Directors and where appropriate the services of resident individual Directors, either as an alternative or in addition to a Corporate Director.
Whether corporate or personal, the individuals carrying out these duties provided by Acquarius, are themselves all pre-approved by the commission. They are all professionally qualified and of varying skillsets. Where individuals are provided we are mindful of the overall makeup of the board and in selecting an individual we ensure that their skillset is complimentary to the wider board.
Most Businesses looking to set up in Gibraltar will require local banking services. Banking has become a particularly complicated matter for all industries and this is particularly evident in the FinTech sector.
There are two local banks that are banking in the DLT sector, Turicum Private Bank and Gibraltar International Bank. Both these banks have stringent criteria for the acceptance of applicants and are following similar principles to the GFSC in the application of the Regulatory Principles. There will be a particular focus on the applicant's white paper, use of funds, corporate governance and anti-money laundering procedures.
In the majority of cases the banks will only accept applications from Approved Intermediaries.
For ICOs the Banks will also generally require a legal opinion from an established local lawyer confirming that due diligence has been undertaken and giving background on the ICO. The legal opinion will also need to confirm that potential investors have been reasonably informed as to the risks of the investment, and opine on the structure of the ICO, the purpose, the persons managing and controlling the firm and the objective of the ICO.
Cruzlaw LLP can provide these legal opinions and at Acquarius Trust Group we have an excellent relationship and Approved Intermediary Status with both banks. In addition, Paul Miles, who heads our client banking services has over 40 years' experience with the RBS Group in a variety of positions including, most recently head of business and intermediary banking at Natwest Gibraltar.
Whilst bank account opening can be challenging for FinTech companies Acquarius Trust Group has an excellent team to assist with all aspects of the application.
Legal and Advisory Services
With a team experienced in all areas of corporate finance including regulatory advice, drafting of prospectuses/white papers, corporate structuring and financial modelling we can assist in a number of areas including:
Structuring of ICOs/Token Sales.
Application to the GFSC for a financial services licence to become a regulated DLT firm.
Assistance and advice on the drafting of whitepapers.
Legal opinions and verifications of whitepaper content.
Advice on investment structure and Gibraltar tax implications.
Advice on regulatory and compliance issues.
Advice on best practice corporate governance.
Advice on anti-money laundering procedures, compliance with data protections and drafting privacy policies.
Drafting terms and conditions and contracts.
Advice and options on the use and establishment of Gibraltar Funds.
What are the nine Regulatory Principles?
Schedule 2 of the DLT Regulations sets out the nine principles that a regulated DLT firm will have to adhere to as follows:
Conduct their business with honesty and integrity.
Pay due regard to the interests and needs of each and all its customers and communicate with them in a way that is fair, clear and not misleading.
Maintain adequate financial and non-financial resources.
Manage and control their business effectively, and conduct their business with due skill, care and diligence; including having proper regard to risks to its business and customers.
Have effective arrangements in place for the protection of customer assets and money when they are responsible for them.
Have effective corporate governance arrangements.
Ensure that all of their systems and security access protocols are maintained to appropriate high standards.
Have systems in place to prevent, detect and disclose financial crime risks such as money laundering and terrorist financing.
Be resilient and have contingency arrangements for the orderly and solvent wind down of its business.
For more information and detail on how these principles are to be applied see the GFSC website or click here.

Q: How to setup a Firebase demo project The Firebase documentation mentions that the local emulator supports Real and Demo projects. A demo project is defined as:

A demo project has no Firebase console configuration and no live resources.
Demo project IDs have the demo- prefix.

The above mentions a demo- prefix but I can't find any examples of how that works. Is it possible to setup a demo project as specified in the above documentation without requiring a Firebase console project or any live resources?

A: You can start the emulators with a demo project by using the --project flag:
$ firebase emulators:start --project demo-test --only auth

Just make sure that the project ID start with the demo- prefix. This line will produce the following output:
i  emulators: Starting emulators: auth
i  emulators: Detected demo project ID "demo-test", emulated services will use a demo configuration and attempts to access non-emulated services for this project will fail.


Parents are made in all types, styles, and mind frames and usually mornings brings out the worst in some parents. We may wake up late or have another sleepless night but no matter the reasons starting the day with a healthy filling breakfast is as important for you as well as your children. Trying to get the right combination of time, ingredients, likes, and dislikes will be the key to creating a foundation of a healthy breakfast that will keep your family energized for the rest of the day.
Morning people with lots of time for breakfast can enjoy the luxury of spending more time preparing the healthy ingredients for a healthy breakfast. More time can be spent chopping the fruits and vegetables needed in a healthy breakfast. A delicious cup of coffee while preparing the morning breakfast and watching the news is a stress free start for people who have time and are those hard to find morning people.
For those of us who are not morning people and wake up late there are still some rather fantastic healthy choices to be made when feeding breakfast to our kids. We no longer need to reach for the box of cereal that is full of unhealthy ingredients. There are now healthy cereals that do not taste like the box that contains it. Many of the new cereals are tested and approved by kids. Another Idea is to prepare the food the night before giving us non-morning people more of an excuse to sleep in.
For those parents who feel that starting the day with a healthy breakfast is not important then let's look at the facts. If you child goes to sleep at 9 o'clock pm and wakes up at 6 o'clock am that is 9 hours of fasting while still burning calories throughout the night. A child of any age should wake up needed to refuel even if he or she does not feel like eating. We as parents may also wake up without the urge to eat and reach for what is convenient or worse nothing at all. The school where my children attend has seen how important breakfast is by giving free breakfast to all students no matter the financial situation of the parents. The idea was to make sure that each child is fueled up in order to stay focused throughout the day.
The goal of a healthy breakfast is to make sure each adult has a productive and focused day. The benefits of a healthy breakfast are the ability to maintain a healthy weight and keep the risk of heart disease down. The manner in which we reach those goals are to eat more fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and eat less fatty food high in cholesterol.
The goal of a healthy breakfast for children is to help in the development of our child's body and mind. Children are still developing mentally and physically so the fuel we give them is so important in helping them grow healthy. A healthy breakfast will help during the school year when a child needs help in concentration, memorization, problem-solving skills and missing fewer days in school.

Existentialism & Inevitabilty.
 Existentialists, by definition, make lousy strategists. Therefore one might not expect to find them working in politics.Having said that, Sartre, with his ever changing perception of what constituted his own reality may well have found a home in UKIP.
Jean-Paul Sartre, 1905-1980
Many years ago, I went through something of an existentialist phase. To be honest, I was having a strained relationship with my Commanding Officer, a lovely man, who took the role of father figure a bit too seriously and would often talk to me at great length about certain attitudes I was displaying. I decided that if I adopted a more Bohemian approach to my duties, and began quoting Corso and Ginsberg endlessly, I could really screw with his mind.
It worked, and he sort of gave up on me and left me to myself. Flight Lieutenant Montgomergy, "Monty", was as good a CO as you could ever ask for, and I hope that he is still with us. I also hope, for his own peace of mind, he has completely forgotten our talks.
Why do I mention this? Because something occured to me late last night that has set me to thinking...
Sartre challenged the concept of Inevitability. (Actually, he challenged most things, but let's stick to inevitability).
"I have to get up for work", "I have to wear shoes today", etc, etc. This is inevitability, and it is Bull. We don't have to do anything, we choose to do what is best for us. Whatever gives us the greatest security, pleasure, or reward, is what we deem to be best. Sometimes, for reasons of altruism, we make our choice based on what is best for others, the point is that we must be prepared to transcend the demmands of societal norms if we are really to be ourselves..
British politics, defined by petty party-based parochialism, does seem to be wrapped in a cloak of inevitability.
Perhaps this is because of the convergence of political thought that means that ideology has been replaced within the political elites by management skills and spin. But Britain is not a bus service. It was, and surely can again become, the most outwardly looking, inventive, and economically successful nation on the planet. This requires thinking, and acting, outside of the box. I do not believe that the three largest parties are capable of this. UKIP is influenced too much by Thatcherism - a great idea at the time, and just what the country needed - but we do not need a 1970s solution to the problems of the 21st century. The Greens have influenced the thinking of all parties, and may now have passed their sell-by date. Old ideology is academic, and rarely relevant to the needs of the present day.
Having said that, were he still alive, Sartre would be the last person we need as PM. But wouldn't it be refreshing if David Cameron were to walk into the Cabinet Office one day and ask "Do we really have to do all of this?" Wouldn't it be great if instead of the bureaucratic grind that life in Britain has become, every single thing we did had the flair and panache of the London Olympics?

State/Lake is an 'L' station serving the CTA's Brown, Green, Orange, Pink, and Purple Lines. It is an elevated station with two side platforms, located in the Chicago Loop at 200 North State Street. The CTA offers farecard transfers between this station and the Lake subway station on the Red Line.

History

State/Lake station opened on September 22, 1895, as part on the Lake Street Elevated Railroad's extension into the Chicago Loop that later became the north side of the Union Loop. State/Lake is the last station on this section of the Loop to retain many of its original features.

One of a series of videos "shot on iPhone 6" to feature in a 2015 Apple advertising campaign  features the short journey between Randolph/Wabash and State/Lake shot in time lapse.

Indian American Nitin Kotak gets key research post
Saturday March 26, 2011 12:11:36 PM, Arun Kumar, IANS
Washington: Indian American Nitin Kotak has been elected vice president and chief financial officer of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) engaged in advancing scientific research and education in the US.
Kotak, 53, joins the Institute from Bethesda-based Technest Holdings, Inc., where he was chief financial officer and treasurer.
"Nitin comes to us with great enthusiasm for our mission and significant experience in financial analysis, reporting, and compliance," said Cheryl Moore, HHMI's executive vice president and chief operating officer.
At HHMI, Kotak will oversee budget and financial analysis, the controller's office, treasury, internal audit, and procurement.
"I am very excited at this opportunity to be a part of this outstanding organization and work in a spirit of giving back to the community. I feel honoured to be selected for this great responsibility," said Kotak.
During fiscal 2010, the Institute made disbursements of $889 million, including $738 million for scientific research and $89 million in grants to support science education and international research. The Institute's endowment at the close of fiscal 2010 stood at $14.8 billion.
A senior member of three major professional institutes in India - the Institute of Chartered Accountants, the Institute of Company Secretaries and the Institute of Cost and Works Accountants, Kotak started his career in 1981 working as the assistant company secretary for a Tata group enterprise, Tinplate Company of India.
He then spent more than 17 years working at ITC Limited where he held a variety of finance-related positions. In 1999 he moved to India-based Mattel Toys, a subsidiary of Mattel, Inc., as its chief financial officer.
Kotak moved to the US in 2003 to become director of finance and accounting for Able Laboratories, Inc., a publicly traded developer and manufacturer of generic pharmaceuticals. A year later, he became Able's vice president for finance and accounting.
Kotak joined Technest in 2005 as vice president for finance and operations and became chief financial officer and treasurer in 2008.

Q: Is there an example of a compact complex (Kähler) manifold of general type with trivial topological euler charcteristic? Topological Euler characteristic is given by the top Chern class of the tangent bundle up to sign.
Comments: Examples don't exist in dimension 2 due to Bogomolov–Miyaoka–Yau inequality. Is that true in higher dimensions? Examples are known if one assumes a weaker condition that the holomorphic Euler characteristic is zero.
Wonder after Jason Starr's answer: Is there a minimal manifold of general type with zero Euler characteristic?

Chia seeds are tiny black seeds came from Savia Hispanica plant which is a native mint plant in South America. These are among the healthiest foods on earth with powerful nutritional contents including fiber, protein, omega-3s fat, calcium, manganese, magnesium, phosphorous and other essential vitamins.
During the ancient times up to the present, Chia seeds recognized as a dietary food and now also considered as a modern day superfood that many health conscious people all over the world are a fond of it. Simply eating chia contributes a considerable amount towards your regular fiber, calorie and nutrients intake goals because it is packed with dietary fiber and good calories.
You can simply add raw chia seeds on your detox drink or plain water to help you get rid of food cravings. Just mix two tablespoons of raw chia seed grains into a glass of water, stir them well, wait until they subside and take before they become inflated due to water absorption. This will prevent you from eating more and make you feel full for extended time.
If you want to improve your metabolism and boost your body's ability to burn some calories, you should drink your juice with a mixture of chia seeds before you start your work out. It gives you more energy especially during tough trainings as well as translates to better weight loss exercise.
Other than adding them in your water, you can eat these seeds raw or mix them into a number of dishes such as rice, yogurt, cereal and vegetables. Some chia weight loss recipes you can try at home are blueberry breakfast pudding and blueberry chia muffins. The blueberry pudding ingredients are chia, dates and cashews. The seeds are very rich in fiber, calcium and omega-3s fatty acids, while the cashew nuts provide protein and an appetizingly satisfying creaminess. The muffins, with just about 100 calories and protein-rich chia seeds will keep you full and what's more, they are gluten free. Since the seeds are absorbent to water, they produce a gelatinous texture making it easier to mix them with any cooked dishes you like. Chia sprouts are also edible. You can add them into your salads and sandwiches.
Undoubtedly, Chia seeds are a valuable addition to your weight loss diet.

, et mort le ), connu sous le nom de Terry, est un guitariste japonais de rock instrumental. Sa guitare préférée est la Mosrite blanche. Sa musique est caractérisée par une chasse frénétique, une utilisation intensive du vibrato et l'importante fréquence du trémolo du bras de sa guitare. Sa devise est « aucun son si ce n'est la guitare ».

Biographie
Le Japon découvre la musique rock par l'entremise de groupes tels que The Animals, The Shadows et The Ventures qui, par leurs influences, donneront naissance à des groupes locaux de musique dite eleki ( en japonais). Terauchi a commencé sa carrière en jouant de la guitare rythmique pour le groupe Jimmy Tokita and The Mountain Playboys, qui avait alors comme bassiste Chosuke Ikariya. En 1962, il forme son premier groupe The Blue Jeans. Le groupe se dissout en 1966, et il forme alors The Bunnys qu'il quittera en 1968. L'année suivante, en 1967, il crée son label Teraon. En 1969, il reforme The Blue Jeans toujours actuellement actif. D'ailleurs, le , le groupe sorte un nouvel album intitulé .

Peu connus en France, Takeshi Terauchi et ses groupes se sont pourtant produits à travers le monde, principalement en Russie, au Brésil, en Argentine, aux États-Unis (dont Hawaï).

La chanson Summer Boogaloo a été utilisée pour la campagne de pub de Lu pour ses « Mikado » en 2013.

The teacher I listen to is Theravada. He will not tell student what his level of attainment is. I am wondering first, a monk of 20-30 years must have some level of attainment? Also, if teachers are not enlightened, then how can they teach enlightenment? I am afraid that they misunderstand or misinterpret something. Should I just trust that an unenlightened monk knows the correct dhamma and methods of meditation?
Sometimes, you need to try different teacher to find one that you like and connect with. I listen to various Buddhist podcasts and some I connect with, others I dont and some I even roll my eyes at.
Just because a teacher isnt enlightened, doesnt mean they dont know the dharma. I believe that enlightenment isnt a level of practice that you reach, its a state of being that some of us reach from time to time but none of us ever really stay in. I believe that most monks, even the most accomplished and well-respected ones, if theyre being honest would tell you that they arent always as enlightened as theyd like to be or as people think they are. That doesnt mean that they dont have lessons that they can teach us.
Id also say to consider the concept of the sangha. The monk does his dharma talk and then lay people like us, who arent all that enlightened, get to question, debate and share out personal perceptions and experiences relating to that. If enlightenment is the end-all, be-all, why do we get to speak on it? The answer, I believe is because we all have experiences and a certain level of wisdom that has value and can help others.
It does not matter what the teacher's attainment is because you are not capable of knowing whether what the teacher is saying is true. Also, a monk is forbidden from declaring any attainment to a layperson by the Vinaya.

Foster The People Talk Collabs with MGMT, Cage The Elephant and More
Posted by Summer | Jul 24, 2018 | RXP What's Happening | 0 |
Foster the People think Drake is on to something when he's collaborating with so many artists. Mark Foster recently told Billboard, "With someone like Drake, it's just his name is always on the radio. He's always got something new coming out, it's been like that for years — whether it's his own stuff or whether he's collaborating and jumping on somebody else's track, which is something that I think, in the end, [we should] do more often."
The band says that they have a whole host of bands that they would love to collaborate with in the future, including Portugal. The Man, Cage The Elephant, MGMT and more.
"I would love to do a song with Portugal. The Man, I'd love to do a song with Cage the Elephant. I would love to do a tune with MGMT, I would love to do something with Vampire Weekend or Arctic Monkeys. … It doesn't have to be all like lone wolf, super competitive, super secretive. We're lucky to be able to make music and I find it to be really fun to collaborate with people that come from a different background from myself. So that's something that I think in the future something that I'm really kind of shooting for."
They've already started putting their theory to practice, by teaming up with The Knocks on their new song "Ride Or Die." Check it out above.
