The health benefits of travel.
Leisure time is an important part of overall health. This is a period of time that we adjust to ourselves, our desires and needs. Even though there are many people who don't need a special reason to travel somewhere, there are some interesting reasons that will encourage any individual to travel more often. For instance, there is no doubt that travel affects our health in a positive way. As a matter of fact, travel has a positive impact on our health on many levels. In case you want to learn more about the health benefits of travel I will highlight some of the most important ones.
traveling helps us forget about everyday worries and tasks.
According to a scientific study that was published not while ago, about 90% of people experience a significant reduction in stress levels in the first two days of being abroad (or out of town). This is quite natural because traveling helps us forget about everyday worries and tasks. If you travel more frequently you will lower the chances of burnouts too. When you are relieved from stress, you will re-energize your body and mind and become capable of solving the problems that have bothered you for months.
Modern people lack the time needed for proper physical activity and good night's sleep. This is where travel and vacation can help. Sleeping problems and insomnia lead to many physical and mental problems – heart disease, weight gain, depression etc. The same goes for lack of physical activity. When you travel, you have more time to pay attention to these simple natural remedies. You can determine a time when you go to sleep and wake up and you can also exercise whenever you want. This practice will make you feel better and improve your overall health.
Several scientific studies have confirmed the positive effects of this activity and mental health. If your mind is calm and rested, your mental performance will be better. Remember that traveling can increase your productivity at work once you return home. As already mentioned, some people get inspired to solve their long-lasting problems too. The fact that you will get a chance to meet new people, learn more about new cultures and listen to a new language (if you are traveling abroad) which will certainly bring many positive effects to your cognitive functions.
If you travel more frequently you will lower the chances of burnouts.
Besides reduction of stress, travel is an activity that supports the production of serotonin, the hormone of happiness. You have probably noticed that people on vacation are smiling more and they are friendlier than ever. This is one of the reasons why they are acting like this. We don't need to mention how important it is to stay happy for our overall health.
These are some of the health benefits of travel. Keep in mind that there are many other benefits related to this activity. So, it is the best idea to take a break every once in a while and travel to a place that you have never been before (even though traveling to a familiar place out of your town is a good idea too).
So there you have it, I hope this short post help you understand something about yourself when traveling. Just relax, don't forget to find a way in your mind to leave the routines you follow when you're at work. Instead focus your mind on something positive, something that make you happy. Better than paying an expensive trip to the shrink don't you think?

mesothelioma embrace shortness of breath as a consequence of pleural effusion (fluid between the lung and the chest wall or chest wall ache, and common symptoms similar to weight reduction. The diagnosis could also be suspected with chest X-ray and CT scan and is confirmed with a biopsy (tissue pattern) and microscopic examination. A thoracoscopy inserting a tube with a camera into the chest) can be utilized to take biopsies. It allows the introduction of drugs resembling talc to obliterate the pleural space (called pleurodesis, which prevents more fluid from accumulating and pressing on the lung. Regardless of therapy with chemotherapy, radiation therapy or sometimes surgery, the illness carries a poor prognosis. Research about screening checks for the early detection of mesothelioma is ongoing.
Honestly, an educator's job could be very difficult. You really want to have the ability to interact and join with the people you're instructing. Confidence, charisma, enthusiasm, communication skills and endurance are all essential. Additionally, you will must have detailed information of the precise subject you might be planning to teach. In spite of everything, it is difficult to show somebody about one thing you don't understand yourself.

When Pinnacle Physical Therapy opened in Maple Valley, Wash., in 2004, the practice had some basic billing software. Within a year, though, it was obvious that Pinnacle was rapidly outgrowing its rudimentary billing system. "We needed something much more dynamic to support our growing practice," says Joshua Lyons, Pinnacle's business administrator.
He expected the big challenge to be finding something suitable for physical therapy. "Most medical billing software is overly complicated for our needs," he says. "Physical therapists only use 6 or 10 codes, not the hundreds that a family practice doctor might use. I didn't want us to have to fight our way through all those irrelevant codes."
The Solution: Go Beyond Billing with a Customizable EHR System Geared to Physical Therapy
When he found Compulink's Physical Therapy AdvantageTM, Lyons recognized that he could set his sights a little higher than just improving the billing system. "The concept of going paperless with electronic health records (EHR) really resonated with us," he says. "As a younger, tech-savvy group, we jumped at the opportunity to use a system that could help us automate our SOAP notes in addition to billing and scheduling." And because the system offered powerful customization capabilities, he could modify screens, databases, and even business rules to reflect the way his therapists practice. "We didn't have to make any changes in our patient flow or the way we do things," says Lyons.
The Result: 2,000 Visits Per Month With 1 Billing Staffer and a Faster Reimbursement Cycle
Today, Pinnacle has 16 practitioners offering physical and occupational therapy, as well as massage, at 4 clinical locations. "We still only have one billing staffer, even though we are approaching 2,000 patient visits per month," says Lyons. "Most groups with our volume have 3 to 5 people to do the same thing. It speaks to the efficiency of the software that one person can handle that volume with it." Not having to hire additional staff saved him well over $100,000 per year. And as he opened new clinics, Lyons said he didn't have to factor in chart space. "At $32 per square foot, that also represents a significant savings," he says.
Electronic claims submission through Compulink reduced Pinnacle's reimbursement cycle from 30-45 days to a maximum of 14 days. "Plus, having the billing linked to the patient record helps ensure that our claims are clean," he says. "Compulink has built-in safety measures to check that we are billing accurately for the services provided." Lyons loves the accessibility of records that EHR offers to a multi-office practice. He says they still have more to gain from EHR as they further customize templates and move towards becoming a completely paperless office.
Pearls for Success
"We're only at the beginning of how electronic records are used," Lyons says. "Anyone who doesn't understand and prepare for that is going to be in a tough spot in a few years." He says many referring doctors have already moved to EHR and have little patience for faxing progress notes back and forth. "In the future, if you want to do business with them, you're going to have to send electronic notes," says Lyons. "Our colleagues will demand that we get on the EHR train, whether it's federally mandated for PT or not. There will be challenges, but it's time to just make the decision, dedicate yourself to it, and don't look back."

interview on oh my gilded.


This quote by Rilke is one of my absolute favorites. As a therapist, I love the message of embracing the process. While we are always seeking, we must also be patient with the process of growth because living life in the midst of the questions is an empowering way to live. Sometimes we learn the most in the uncertainty as we carefully and thoughtfully examine ourselves. If we foreclose the difficult questions or avoid them all together, we miss an opportunity presented to us. True growth involves steps forward and backward, but hopefully with intention and patience, one day we awake with a better understanding and revitalized approach to the concerns that have been plaguing us.

The importance of eight hours of sleep cannot be overstated—from keeping your appetite in check to lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, the proper amount of sleep ensures your body is functioning at its highest level. But according to a December 2013 Gallup poll, 40% of Americans get less than seven hours of sleep, and according to a study conducted by the makers of Jawbone UP (more on that in a few), the leading causes of sleeplessness are stress and gadgets in the bedroom. But fear not—the need for constant connectedness has yielded a number of advances in technology meant to help you fall asleep. Click through for our top five and start sleeping better now.
The UP bracelet calculates everything you need to know about your sleep patterns, from how long you spent in light and deep sleep to how many times you woke up in the middle of the night. It will even wake you by gently vibrating during the period of lightest sleep closest your alarm.
This app uses your iPhone's accelerometer (it detects your phone's movement to determine things such as what angle you're holding it) to monitor your physical activity during sleep.

The volume of production of small business in Russia and the number involved in small business people still insufficient, the programme of small business support will be continued, said Prime Minister of Russia Dmitry Medvedev at a meeting with the CEO of the Federal Corporation for the development of small and average business Alexander Braverman.
Medvedev said that small business support is one of the key tasks.
«Why? Because we believe that the volume of production of small business in our country, the number of people involved in small businesses still remain insufficient. Known check digit: we have a small business does 20% of the population. In most developed economies, the figure is somewhere around 50%. Therefore, support programs, we will need to continue,» said Medvedev.
According to him, this applies to General programmes related to the support of small business in General, the possibility of obtaining small businesses loans at reasonable rates, and also applies to individual target audiences.
«Indeed, we must work at the direction associated with the support of certain groups of the population. And to do this, of course, wisely, with understanding of life and needs of a particular category of citizens of our country. In this context, the program of support of small entrepreneurship for persons of Mature age, female small business, I hope will find its audience. So asking these programs to do in the future and to give them due consideration,» he added.

Real Estate For First-Time Home Buyers Being a first-time real estate buyer is an exciting time. Many people save for an extremely long period of time before they are able to purchase their first home. There are several factors you should bear in mind to make this an enjoyable and fruitful time in your life.
Your first step is to decide where you would like to live. Decide on the area and go online to check the average prices of homes in that area. Do not only check on general prices, but look at homes that you would be interested in viewing and see what its prices are. Decide on the size of the home you would like, whether you want garages or not and whether you want a garden or not. This will give you a more accurate picture of the area, the size of home and the costs involved.
You should make sure you know exactly how much you can afford to spend on your first home. There are suitable mortgage calculators that can be accessed online to help with your calculations.
Beside your mortgage cost, there are other costs that you have to consider as well. Bear in mind that you need to pay for homeowners insurance and taxes on a monthly basis. Once again, you can find online home affordability calculators that will calculate all the additional costs. The area you choose will determine your taxes and insurance, and these amounts can sometimes be almost as much as your mortgage cost.
You can determine the insurance cost you may be liable for by choosing a property you like in the area you wish to buy, and call a local insurance company to provide you with an estimate. This will give you a basic idea of what to expect.
Other costs to bear in mind include administration fees payable to your mortgage lender. You may have to pay homeowners association fees which are dependent upon the area you wish to purchase in.
As a first-time buyer, you should be aware of all the extra costs involved in buying a house. Make sure that you are able to afford all these extras. It is recommended that real estate buyers should not spend more than about 25% of their income on costs for housing. If you extend your borrowing to more than 30%, you are at risk of eventually losing your investment. There are other costs to consider such as repairs and maintenance over a period of time. All these costs add up and can eventually drain your savings account.
You may find it easier to deal with a real-estate agent in your area when you are looking to buy your first home. They will be able to give you an idea as to the housing market and can offer advice regarding financing and insurance.
Buying your first home is a step in the right direction if you wish to build up wealth in fixed assets. You must also keep in mind that with a new home comes new responsibility. You will not have a landlord to turn to if anything breaks.

A man whose body was found in a Port Arthur alley Monday may have been killed in an act of retaliation after a recent shooting that crippled a man, according to police.
Javier Palacios' body was recovered from the 1000 block of Delaware Drive on Monday around 4:04 p.m.
Port Arthur Police Detective Sadie Guidry said there were several injuries to the body, which may have included gunshot wounds. However, the official cause of death is pending autopsy results.
Guidry said Palacios self-identified with Sureños 13's, a gang that had been fairly quiet recently after an increase in arrests and non-violent deaths among members. But Palacios, Guidry said, seemed to be "out of control" and highly "active" in the weeks leading up to his death.
About two weeks ago, police put out public information looking for Palacios' whereabouts because of warrants on charges of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, evading detention with a motor vehicle and felony possession of a firearm. He was also a suspect in several deadly conduct cases and one aggravated assault case, Guidry said.
But Palacios' safety was also a factor in the push for his arrest, said Detective Mike Hebert.
Police say he may have been involved in a March 23 shooting in the 1200 block of Delaware Drive, when a man was shot several times in the legs with a semi-automatic weapon. The victim has since lost one leg and could lose the other but declined to file charges.
Hebert said PAPD does not anticipate retaliatory actions for Palacios' death.

Біокомунікація (від  — життя і лат.  — зв'язую, спілкуюся) — зв'язок, спілкування між особинами тварин одного або різних видів шляхом передачі інформації за допомогою різних сигналів.

Передача інформації (генерація) здійснюється спеціальними органами (голосовий апарат, пахучі залози, форма тіла, поза, забарвлення, поведінка тварини і таке інше). Прийом інформації (рецепція), здійснюються на сенсорному рівні органів нюху, смаку, зору, слуху, електро-, термо-, механо- і ін. спеціальними рецепторами. Передавані сигнали обробляються в різних частинах нервової системи, зіставляються (інтегруються) в її вищих відділах, де формується у відповідь на подразник реакція організму.

Спілкування тварин, біокомунікація, зв'язки між особинами одного або різних видів, що встановлюються за допомогою прийому вироблених ними сигналів. Ці сигнали (специфічні - хімічні, механічні, оптичні, акустичні, електричні та інші, або неспецифічні - супутні диханню, руху, харчуванню тощо) сприймаються відповідними рецепторами: органами зору, слуху, нюху, смаку, шкірної чутливості, органами бічної лінії (у риб), термо- і електрорецепторами. Вироблення (генерація) сигналів і їх прийом (рецепція) утворюють між організмами канали зв'язків (акустичні, хімічні та ін.) для передачі інформації різної фізичної або хімічної природи. Інформація, що надходить по різних каналах зв'язку, обробляється в різних частинах нервової системи, а потім зіставляється (інтегрується) у її вищих відділах, де формується відповідна реакція організму. Спілкування тварин полегшує пошуки їжі і сприятливих умов проживання, захист від ворогів і шкідливих впливів. Без спілкування тварин неможлива зустріч особин різної статі, взаємодія батьків і потомства, формування груп (зграй, стад, роїв, колоній тощо) і регулювання відносин між особинами всередині них (територіальні відносини, ієрархія тощо).

Роль того чи іншого каналу зв'язку в спілкуванні тварин у різних видів неоднакова і визначається екологією і морфо-фізіологією виду, що склалися в ході еволюції, а також залежить від мінливих умов середовища, біологічних ритмів і ін. Як правило, спілкування тварин здійснюється при використанні одночасно декількох каналів зв'язку. Найбільш древній і поширений канал зв'язку - хімічний. Деякі продукти обміну речовин, що виділяються особиною в зовнішнє середовище, здатні впливати на «хімічні» органи чуття - нюх і смак, і служать регуляторами росту, розвитку і розмноження організмів, а також сигналами, що викликають певні поведінкові реакції інших особин. Так, феромони самців деяких риб прискорюють дозрівання самок, синхронізуючи розмноження популяції. Пахучі речовини, що виділяються в повітря або воду, що залишаються на ґрунті або предметах, маркують зайняту твариною територію, полегшують орієнтацію і зміцнюють зв'язки між співчленами групи (сім'ї, стада, рою, зграї). Риби, земноводні, ссавці добре розрізняють запахи особин свого та інших видів, а загальні групові запахи дозволяють тваринам відрізняти «своїх» від «чужаків».

У спілкуванні водних тварин важливу роль відіграє сприйняття органами бічної лінії локальних рухів води. Цей вид дистантної механорецепції дозволяє виявляти ворога або здобич, підтримувати порядок у зграї. Тактильні форми спілкування тварин (наприклад, взаємне чищення оперення або хутра) важливі для регуляції внутрішньовидових відносин у деяких птахів і ссавців. Самки і підлеглі особини зазвичай чистять особин-домінантів (переважно дорослих самців). У ряду електричних риб, міног і міксин створюване ними електричне поле служить для маркування території, допомагає при ближній орієнтації і пошуках їжі. У «неелектричних» риб в зграї утворюється спільне електричне поле, що координує поведінку окремих особин.

Візуальне спілкування тварин, пов'язане з розвитком світлочутливості і зору, зазвичай супроводжує утворення структур, які набувають сигнального значення (забарвлення і колірної візерунок, контури тіла або його частин) і виникнення ритуальних рухів і міміки. Так відбувається процес ритуалізації - формування дискретних сигналів, кожний з яких пов'язаний з певною ситуацією і має якесь умовне значення (загроза, підпорядкування, умиротворення та ін.), що зменшують небезпеку внутрішньовидових зіткнень. Бджоли, знайшовши медоносні рослини, здатні за допомогою «танцю» передати іншим збиральницям інформацію про місце розташування знайденої їжі і відстань до неї (роботи німецького фізіолога К. Фріша). Для багатьох видів складені повні каталоги їх «мови поз, жестів і міміки» - т. зв. етограми. Ці демонстрації часто характеризуються маскуванням або перебільшенням тих чи інших особливостей забарвлення і форми. Візуальне спілкування тварин відіграє особливо важливу роль у мешканців відкритих ландшафтів (степів, пустель, тундри); значно менше його значення у водних тварин і мешканців заростей.

Акустичне спілкування найрозвиненіше у членистоногих і хребетних. Його роль як ефективного способу дистантної сигналізації зростає у водному середовищі і в закритих ландшафтах (ліси, зарості). Розвиток звукового спілкування тварин залежить від стану інших каналів зв'язку. У птахів, наприклад, високі акустичні здібності властиві головним чином скромно забарвленим видам, тоді як яскраве забарвлення і складна демонстраційна поведінка зазвичай поєднуються з невисоким рівнем звукового спілкування. Диференціація складних звуковідтворювальних утворень у багатьох комах, риб, земноводних, птахів і ссавців дозволяє їм виробляти десятки різних звуків. «Лексикон» співочих птахів включає до 30 основних сигналів, що комбінуються між собою, що різко підвищує ефективність біокомунікації. Складна структура багатьох сигналів дозволяє розпізнавати персонально шлюбного і групового партнера. У ряду видів птахів звуковий контакт між батьками та пташенятами встановлюється, вже в той час, коли пташенята ще знаходяться в яйці. Зіставлення мінливості деяких характеристик оптичної сигналізації у крабів і качок і звуковий - у співочих птахів вказує на значну подібність різних типів сигналізації. Мабуть, пропускні спроможності оптичних і акустичних каналів порівнянні між собою.

Таким чином, комплекс сигнальних структур і поведінкових реакцій, в ході яких вони демонструються, утворює специфічну для кожного виду сигнальну систему. У вивчених видів риб число специфічних сигналів видового коду коливається від 10 до 26, у птахів - від 14 до 28, у ссавців - від 10 до 37. Явища, подібні ритуалізації, можуть складатися і в еволюції міжвидового спілкування. Як захист від хижаків, що розшукують здобич за запахом, у видів-жертв виробляються відлякуючі запахи і неїстівні тканини, а для захисту від хижаків, які користуються при полюванні зором, - відлякуюче забарвлення.

Системи комунікацій, якими користуються тварини, І. П. Павлов назвав першою сигнальною системою. Він підкреслював, що ця система є загальною для тварин і людини, оскільки для отримання інформації про навколишній світ людина використовує фактично ті ж системи комунікації.

Основна частина сигналів у тварин сильно залежить від виду, проте, серед них є і такі, які є інформативними і для представників інших видів. Так в Африці водопій одночасно використовується різними тваринами, наприклад, гну, зеброю і водяним козлом. Якщо зебра з її гострим слухом і нюхом чує наближення лева або іншого хижака, її дії також інформують про це сусідів по водопою.

В залежності від ступеня розвитку у тварин тих або інших органів чуття, при спілкуванні можуть використовуватися різні способи комунікацій.

The Resistible Rise of Donald Trump
Cruz Control and the American Way
Why New York Should Vote For Bernie Sanders
"We will do what we can to help them fight this scourge, and redouble our efforts to make sure it does not happen here. We need to immediately halt the flow of refugees from countries with a significant al Qaida or ISIS presence. We need to empower law enforcement to patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized." TED CRUZ
Ted Cruz's response to the Brussels' terrorist attacks has been rightfully and roundly criticized by liberal media outlets and the Council on American-Islamic Relations. However, what the liberal outrage gets wrong about Cruz's suggestions is that such measures would be out of step with American traditions and security policy. As recently as 2014, the NYPD had a special branch of its intelligence division, the Demographics Unit, dedicated to running surveillance specifically on the NY-metro area Muslim community at large, from kebab stand workers to mosque attendees to Muslim student associations as far off as Philadelphia. This is to say nothing of the FBI's infamous COINTELPRO (Counter Intelligence Program) of the late 1950s-1970s that infiltrated and tried to disrupt the activities of, among others, left-wing student organizations, anti-Vietnam War protestors, and members of the civil rights movement, including Martin Luther King, Jr. To "patrol and secure" whatever the majority of the American population happens to fear at a given moment is firmly within the traditions of American security policy. Ted Cruz's call for specialized surveillance of an entire group of the American populace for the sake of security is actually the reappearance of an old theme in American history. Recall that the first organizations that resembled police forces in America were the mounted slave patrols that were tasked solely with finding African Americans. To identify and watch over a particular swath of the population is not some sort of aberration but rather the norm in the American way of security. This is American policy on autopilot—cruise control is Cruz control.
To register that such an approach is within the traditions of American policy-making and execution is, of course, not to endorse it. Such ways of providing security have been and will be disastrous to the American Muslim community. They should be opposed on moral, pragmatic, and legal grounds, and in that order. The reason for this is that while the US has had a relatively short history of dealing with terrorism done in the name of Islam, the example of French security policy vis-à-vis its Muslim community across the 20th century can point us to the folly of adopting such an approach.
"To identify and watch over a particular swath of the population is not some sort of aberration but rather the norm in the American way of security. This is American policy on autopilot—cruise control is Cruz control."
From 1925 until approximately 1980, the Paris Prefecture of Police had a specialized unit whose only tasks were the political surveillance and criminal investigation of Muslims from France's North African colonies, Morocco, Tunisia, and, most importantly, Algeria. This police service had number of monikers but was generally referred to by police officials and the press as the North African Brigade. Its main task was to collect information on the entirety of the Muslim community in Paris and repress anti-colonialist and nationalist feeling. It didn't work. What it did do was further entrench a hierarchy of belonging in France. After 1947, Algerians living in France were by law French citizens. However, with the specialized policing program they were not treated as such, and this fact was not lost on them. Thus, not only was it deeply immoral to treat an entire segment of the population as suspects rather than citizens based simply on their identity, it also did not produce the intended results. That is to say, all three North African colonies gained independence, and North Africans in France became increasingly wary of any interaction with the French police. While legal opposition to such policies might be useful insofar as they constitute opposition per se, what French and American history demonstrate is that the laws can always be tweaked in times of crisis to legalize government actions. The French invented the "state of emergency" during the Algerian War to provide the government security forces with a freer hand, and the US passed the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act, aka the USA PATRIOT Act, in 2001. Shortly thereafter, American lawyers in the Office of Legal Counsel redefined torture, which, incidentally, the French had also used extensively in Algeria in the late 1950s.
America has some great traditions. The demonization of entire communities in the name of security is not one of them. Ted Cruz's proclamations about essentially criminalizing Muslim identity should be rejected. But don't waive the Constitution in his face to denounce such recommendations. There could well be a process whereby Muslim surveillance becomes constitutional given what has been approved by our legislature and judiciary. The September 18, 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force and the November 13, 2001 Executive Order on Military Commissions have created the grounds for perpetual war coupled with the near suspension of habeas corpus since 2001. The fragility of law during times of emergency, real or imagined, has been known since antiquity. The Roman statesman Cicero noted, "In times of war, the law falls silent." Events like these terrible attacks in Brussels, which involve equal parts tragedy, fear, and anger, are a test for American society. They can also act as a reminder to mobilize the forces of collective morality so we can hopefully get out of cruise/Cruz control.

Ібрагім ібн Аваад ібн Ібрагім ібн Алі ібн Мухаммад аль-Бадрі ас-Самарраї (), більш відомий своїм військовим прізвиськом Абу Бакр аль-Багдаді (; , Самарра — , Баріша) — халіф самопроголошеної Ісламської держави. Раніше також відомий як Абу-Дуа (). Носив псевдонім Амір аль-Мумінін Халіф Ібрагім (). Оголошений нащадком ісламського пророка Мухаммеда під іменем Абу Бакр аль-Багдаді аль-Хусейні аль-Хашімі аль-Курейші ()

Протягом усього керівництва терористичною організацією з'являлися різні повідомлення про загибель, поранення або арешт Багдаді, але до 27 жовтня 2019 року жодне з них не було підтверджене незалежними й надійними джерелами.

Походження
Вважається, що Ібрагім народився в районі міста Самарра у Центральному Іраці 1971 року. Згідно з інформацією, поширеною у середовищі його прихильників, він отримав науковий ступінь у Ісламському Університеті Багдаду.

Початок військової діяльності
Після вторгнення американських та британських військ до Іраку 2003 року аль-Багдаді взяв участь у створенні міліцейського воєнізованого підрозділу Джамаат Джаіш Ал аль-Сунна ва-ль-Джаммаа, у якому він виконував обов'язки глави шаріатського комітету. Їх він виконував і у Раді Муджахедів (Шурі), до якої приєднався 2006 року. Після перейменування Ради на Ісламську Державу Іраку (ІДІ), аль-Багдаді став головним наглядачем її шаріатського комітету та членом головної дорадчої ради.
На цей період припадає і його перебування у влаштованому американськими військовими таборі для інтернованих осіб Кемп Букка, яке згідно зі записами в Міністерстві оборони США тривало від лютого до грудня 2004 року. За іншими даними він перебував у таборі з 2005 до 2009 року.

Очільник Ісламської Держави Іраку
Ісламська Держава Іраку була підрозділом Аль-Каїди та називалась також Іракською Аль-Каїдою. Абу-Бакр аль-Багдаді був проголошений лідером ІДІ 16 травня 2010 року, після смерті його попередника Абу-Омара аль-Багдаді.

На цій посаді Абу Бакр аль-Багдаді брав участь у підготовці масштабних операцій, таких як напад на мечеть Умм аль-Кура у Багдаді, наслідком якої було вбивства відомого суннітського законодавця Халіда аль-Фадаві.

У березні та квітні 2011 року ІДІ оголосила про те, що здійснила 23 напади у районі на південь від Багдаду під керівництвом аль-Багдаді.
Після ліквідації лідера Аль-Каїди Осами бен Ладена 2 травня 2011 року аль-Багдаді поширив заяву, у якій високо оцінив діяльність бен Ладена та пообіцяв помсту за його вбивство. 5 травня 2011 року аль-Багдаді взяв відповідальність за напад на місто Хілла, внаслідок якого було вбито 24 поліцейських та поранено ще 72.

Унаслідок серії нападів смертників 15 серпня 2011 року в Мосулі загинуло 70 осіб. Незадовго після цього ІДІ заявила про те, що у відплату за смерть бен-Ладена здійснить ще 100 нападів на всій території Іраку.
22 грудня 2011 внаслідок серії скоординованих вибухів із використанням саморобних вибухових пристроїв, що пройшли на околицях Багдаду загинуло 63 особи і ще 180 було поранено. Це сталось за кілька днів після повного виведення військ Сполучених Штатів із території Іраку.

Очільник Ісламської Держави Іраку та Леванту
Після формального поширення території ІДІ на окремі регіони Сирії, 8 квітня 2013 року аль-Багдаді оголосив утворення Ісламської Держави Іраку та Леванту (ІДІЛ).
Було оголошено, що група прихильників джихаду, котра брала участь у Громадянській війні у Сирії під назвою Джабат аль-Нусра є частиною ІДІ та тепер разом утворюють ІДІЛ. Однак, у відповідь на звернення лідера Джабат аль-Нусри Мухаммеда аль-Джавлані до еміра Аль-Каїди Аймана аль-Завахірі останній наказав аль-Багдаді ліквідувати ІДІЛ та обмежити свою діяльність територією Іраку.
Попри цю заборону, аль-Багдаді перейняв контроль над більшістю бійців Джабат аль-Нусри. У січні 2014 року ІДІЛ опанувала містом Ар-Ракка, котре раніше перебувало в руках Джабат аль-Нусри, а подальші сутички призвели до загибелі сотень бійців та втечі тисяч мешканців.
У лютому 2014 року Аль-Каїда розірвала стосунки із ІДІЛ.

Халіф Ісламської Держави
Унаслідок успішних дій ІДІЛ на територіях Сирії та Іраку, 28 червня 2014 року в головній мечеті Мосула ІДІЛ оголосила про створення Халіфату і визнання Абу Бакра аль-Багдаді його халіфом. Ісламську Держава Іраку та Леванту перейменовано на Ісламську Державу (ІД).
Навколо таких дій аль-Багдаді та ІДІЛу виникли інтенсивні дискусії ісламських теологів. Головним питанням стала процедура проголошення халіфа, яку відповідно ісламських норм повинні здійснювати всі мусульмани світу, а не окрема група.

Крім того сумніви викликала обов'язкова для халіфа приналежність аль-Багдаді до роду ісламського пророка Мухаммеда.

У своєму аудіозверненні аль-Багдаді оголосив похід на Рим та Європу для поширення Ісламської Держави від Близького Сходу до Іспанії.
Крім цього аль-Багдаді закликав усіх мусульман здійснити хіджру та переселятись в Ісламську Державу.

У квітні 2019 року, після втрати захоплених на Близькому Сході територій та поразки ІД у битві під Баґуз-Хакані, було поширене перше за п'ять років відеозвернення Аль-Багдаді, у якому він заявив, що втрата територій у Сирії та Іраку примусила керівництво ІД переглянути усталену й перевірену часом стратегію, широко відому як «виживання і розширення». Відтоді основний акцент робився на виснаження противника. Опора на масштабні операції підготовлених бійців, без мети захопити й утримати території.

Ліквідація
16 вересня 2019 року, після кількамісячної інформаційної перерви, аль-Багдаді опублікував аудіозапис про подальші плани своєї організації, де зокрема говориться, що «робота йде на різних фронтах щодня». До весни 2019 року він не виступав понад п'ять років.

26 жовтня 2019 року президент США Дональд Трамп опублікував на своїй сторінці в соц-мережі Twitter запис: «Щойно сталося дещо грандіозне». 27 жовтня прессекретар Білого дому Гоґан Гідлі анонсував «важливу заяву» президента США, яка була запланована на 9:00 (16:00 за київським часом).

Зранку 27 жовтня ЗМІ з посиланням на представників міністерства оборони США і Білого дому повідомили, що 26 жовтня американські військовослужбовці провели спецоперацію, внаслідок якої халіф Абу Бакр аль-Багдаді був ліквідований. Повідомляється, що президент США Дональд Трамп схвалив операцію за тиждень до її проведення.

Про причетність до ліквідації лідера ІД заявили іракські та турецькі військові розвідки, які викрили місце перебування аль-Багдаді та координували операцію американців. Ще до заяви президента США 27 жовтня світові ЗМІ повідомили про подробиці ліквідації: операція була готова до виконання ще 21 жовтня, проте відкладалася через присутність великої кількості цивільних.

Безпосередньо в операції були задіяні вісім вертольотів і два безпілотники, які приблизно чотири години у два етапи з перервою у 30 хвилин обстрілювали село Бариш у сирійській провінції Ідліб. Після підготовки до місця ліквідації прибули команди американських спецпідрозділів. За інформацією ЗМІ, на місті виявлені тіла трьох чоловіків, трьох жінок і дитини; повністю зруйнований один будинок.

Президент США Дональд Трамп під час заздалегідь оголошеного виступу підтвердив інформацію про ліквідацію халіфа «Ісламської держави». Трамп повідомив, що спостерігав за діями Сил спеціальних операцій США із спеціальної ситуативної кімнати, та розповів кілька подробиць: Абу Бакра аль-Багдаді та його оточення, включно із дітьми, носили жилети з вибухівкою, яку підірвали під час штурму; постраждав службовий собака, військові не постраждали; було звільнено 11 маленьких дітей; президент США подякував за сприяння «націям Росії, Туреччині, Сирії та Іраку». За словами Дональда Трампа, була проведена ДНК-експертиза тіла Абу Бакр аль-Багдаді, яка підтвердила його особу. Військові захопили кілька бойовиків та двох дружин лідера ІД, у яких не спрацювали пояси шахідів.

28 жовтня Дональд Трамп показав фото собаки, яка брала участь у ліквідації аль-Багдаді. Нею виявилася бельгійська вівчарка (різновид породи — малінуа) з кличкою Конан (на честь коміка Конана О'Браєна). Пес дістав легке поранення та відправлений на лікування до ветеринарної клініки.

28 жовтня голова Об'єднаного комітету начальників штабів США генерал армії Марк Міллі повідомив, що тіла аль-Багдаді позбулися «належним чином». За інформацією ЗМІ, над трупом провели ритуали за ісламськими традиціями, після чого поховали в морі. Місце поховання не розкривається.

31 жовтня «Ісламська держава» підтвердила інформацію про загибель свого лідера та його помічника — речника ІД Абу аль-Хасана аль-Мухаджіра.

6 листопада президент Туреччини Реджеп Таїп Ердоган заявив, що раніше турки захопили одну з дружин Абу Бакр аль-Багдаді та її сестру з чоловіком. За словами Ердогана, Туреччина не повідомляла про це, аби не робити галасу (мається на увазі — як це зробив президент США).

General compiler tools such as ACCENT  allow the processing of any context-free grammar. This includes ambiguous grammars, i.e. grammars for which there are valid source texts that have more than one parse tree. Because the semantics of the source text is determined by the parse tree (the phrase structure) of the source text, such a text may have assigned different meanings for different parse trees.
ACCENT allows the user to annote grammrs to resolve ambiguities. It also offers a default strategy. Unless an ambiguity is resolved in this way, it is detected at parsing time whether a given text is ambiguous.
AMBER can check a grammar statically. If ambiguities are detected, AMBER gives hints how to resolve them by annotations.
In general it is undecidable whether a given grammar is ambiguous. But if a given grammar is ambiguous this can be detected by enumerating and checking the token strings of a language. If such an algorithm presents a text with two different parsing trees we know that the grammar is ambiguous. But if the grammar is unambiguous the algorithm may not terminate.
AMBER is a tool that systematically generates example strings of a given grammar and checks them for ambiguity. Because this is done using an highly efficient algorithm it is realistic to check millions of such examples in short time. Whenever two examples have a common prefix the prefix is inspected only once.
Hence one has a good chance to detect a problem. Nevertheless, the user should be aware of the fact that the search space in general is infinite and that the number of examples grows exponentially with their length. AMBER has a number of options to influence the search. For example, the user can choose to inspect all examples up to a given length or a randomly selected subset allowing examples of greater length in reasonable time.
AMBER is a fixed module that works for all grammars. The specific grammar must be provided by a grammar module that is generated with ACCENT. This grammar module is linked with the AMBER module resulting in a checker for the specific grammar.
AMBER does not report ambiguities that are explicitely resolved by user annotations. The grammar specification for ACCENT should use %nodefault in order to switch off the default ambiguity resolution.
is used to check one million examples.
At least examples n or length n must be specified to limit the search space.
Inspect n examples. An example is a path in the search tree from the root to a point where search terminates because the actual token string cannot be continued or where options limit the search depth. Note that also prefixes of an example are checked. AMBER tries to balance the number of examples at branches in the search tree. This may cause the number of actually inspected example to differ slightly from n.
Inspect examples up to length n.
If a token string can be correctly continued with k different tokens, consider only n percent of them.
This is used to form groups with different percentage and limit values. From position n of the generated example up the next from value (or the end of the example) use the values specified in the next percentage and/or limit options.
From 1 up to 2 all tokens are considered. From 3 to 5 at most 3 tokens are considered. From 6 to 7 50 percent of the tokens are considered. From 8 to 10 again all possible tokens are considered.
Consider nonterminals also as tokens, i.e. give tokens appearing after a phrase for the nonterminal a better change to be considered. Increases the probability to find longer examples of ambiguity.
Check only phrases for nonterminal symbol. This can be used to skip irrelevant introductory tokens and hence increase the probability to uncover a problem with the specified nonterminal.
This options behaves like check applied to all nonterminals in sequence (the value of the examples option applies separately to each nonterminal).
This options repeats the amber command again and again without resetting the random number generator. It only makes sense when random search is invoked using the percentage or limit option.
Print the tokens of the actual example.
No progress information is displayed. This decreases the runtime significantly.
Ambiguity information is written onto standard output. If an ambiguity is detected two different derivations for the particular nonterminal are emitted. Each kind of ambiguity is reported only once. The program explains how the ambiguity could be resolved by an annotation.
Progress information is displayed on stderr.
AMBER is based on Earley's general parsing algorithm. Earley's recognizer is turned into a synthesizer and has been extended to detect ambiguities on the fly. AMBER has been derived from ENTIRE .
Earley's recognizer can be sketched as follows.
the next symbol being to be processed is M_i. Such a "dotted rule" is called an item.
An item has also a "back-pointer" to find items that triggered the actual one (I do not discuss this here).
The algorithm constructs an item list for each input token.
The kernel of the item list for a particular input token is constructed by a step called the scanner.
This indicates that 't' has been recognized and the symbol following it has to be processed.
The rest of the item list is constructed by by the closure of the kernel. The closure is obtained by applying the predictor and completer steps until no new item can be added.
If the dot appears in front of a nonterm, the "predictor" is invoked. It inserts items that start the processing of the member.
If the dot appears at the end of a rule, the "completer" is invoked. It takes the item that caused the processing of this rule and puts the dot after the corresponding nonterminal.
is added, indicating that the member N has been processed.
where S is the start symbol of the grammar. The closure of this item determines the initial item list.
We turn Earley's recognizer into a synthesizer.
that will be processed by the Scanner to construct the kernel of the next item list. All tokens 't' in those items are valid continuations of the current token string.
Using this approach, only valid token sequences are considered. Instead of parsing each example separately and from the beginning, examples with common prefixes are parsed together where the prefix is processed only once.

Keseimbangan Badan dan Jiwa Perspektif Abu Zaid Al-Balkhi
Abu Zaid al-Balkhi was a multi-talent scientist in 9th-century Islam in several fields, his ability to write two themes in a systematic work had brought him to be known as the first mental health pioneer who before that time prioritized physical health. The purpose of this study is to describe the concept of Body and Soul according to Abu Zaid al-Balkhi, using the Research Library method from the data of Abu Zaid al-Balkhi's work entitled "Mashalih al-Abdan wal-Anfus" and from other sources related to research. This study found 2 (two) topics, among others: 1. The importance of maintaining body and soul health, namely body health as in general principles of health science such as maintaining environmental health, shelter, water, and air sanitation, while for mental health the importance of preserving mind and feelings, 2. Differentiation of treatment/treatment in dealing with neurosis and psychosis disorders, for neurotic disorders the therapeutic process is carried out with cognitive therapy while for psychosis disorders the therapeutic process is done spiritually, thus the importance of maintaining a balance of body and soul for health, otherwise imbalance will cause disease.

Covid booster booking extended on anniversary of first jab being given in UK
8 December 2021, 00:01 | Updated: 8 December 2021, 00:04

The coronavirus booster booking system has been extended exactly a year on from the first jab being administered in the UK.
People aged 40 and over are now able to book their booster jab three months after receiving their second dose, instead of the original six months.
The system will also allow people to book their booster a month in advance and means an additional seven million people aged 40 and over will be able to book in for their booster and will also be invited two months on from their second dose.

It comes as the Omicron variant sweeps the globe after first being detected in South Africa last month.
Official figures showed 101 additional cases of the Omicron variant were reported across the UK on Tuesday, with the total now reaching 437.
NHS chief executive Amanda Pritchard said: "NHS staff continue to work flat out to protect their communities and are now once again working to expand the programme at scale.
"There is a lot we do not know about the Omicron variant but experts believe that even if existing vaccines are less effective, they will give protection.
"So I would urge anyone eligible to come forward as soon as possible and to keep checking for appointments in their area."

To speed up the vaccination programme, the Government says about 450 military personnel have been drafted in to help, and there will be extra community pharmacy sites, hospital hubs and pop-up sites.
Health Secretary Sajid Javid said: "We are boosting our booster programme to get more jabs in arms quickly and from today, millions of people over the age of 40 in England will be able to pre-book their booster jab two months after their second dose, a month ahead of them becoming eligible for their top-up vaccine.
"We are halving the gap that people have to wait to get their booster to three months - prioritising those most at risk of serious illness and strengthening our collective defences in light of the Omicron variant, as the virus goes on the advance this winter."
Wednesday marks exactly a year since the first coronavirus vaccine was given in the UK.
Margaret Keenan, a 90-year-old grandmother, was the first person in the UK to be given the vaccine, in Coventry, on December 8 last year.
Since then the vaccination programme has delivered almost 120 million jabs and the NHS is launching a campaign to recruit tens of thousands more volunteers to deliver jabs.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: "Since the first jab was delivered one year ago today, our phenomenal vaccine rollout has saved hundreds of thousands of lives and given us the best possible protection against Covid-19.
"So many people have been involved in this national vaccination effort, including our brilliant NHS staff, pharmacists, the military, the thousands of volunteers who dedicated themselves to the rollout, the incredible scientists, researchers and their teams who developed these life-saving vaccinations and, crucially, every single one of you who has taken up the offer of a jab with such enthusiasm."
The Prime Minister said the fight against coronavirus is not over yet, but added: "Vaccines remain our first and best line of defence against the virus."
Mr Javid added: "The battle is not yet over and we are working around the clock to boost the booster programme to maximise immunity following the emergence of the Omicron variant."

Sausage meatloaf muffins – easy to make, because the seasoning is right in your meat! They freeze and reheat beautifully, and taste good cold as a terrific packed lunch. Perfect for meal planning.
It's really nearly three years since I posted my Quinoa Meatloaf recipe? And I haven't written up any meatloaf since? Well – high time I add to my recipes for this classic food!
Meatloaf is a lifesaver… It does take a little time to make (though one reason I like the muffins is that that approach cuts the oven time nearly in half!) but then you have enough for several meals. It's good cold, it reheats beautifully (and again – the muffins heat very easily – they go straight from freezer to microwave to plate!) And this recipe is as simple as they get.
True story – one of the first dinners I made when we moved here was the quinoa meatloaf (which I already knew the parents liked) in muffins. And I froze most of it. And that is how I gave the parents a good dinner several days later when the movers arrived hours late (in horrible weather conditions!) They had to bring in our possessions all evening. I just had to step away from the door long enough to pop the meatloaf muffins in the microwave, add some frozen vegetables, get out some bread… and run it out to the sunroom where the parents (and the cats) were staying safely out of the way!
Most often I make the quinoa meatloaf – it really has become our favorite! But I like some variety.
Now, the great thing about sausage meatloaf is that you can get variety just by changing your sausage. Make no mistake – the flavor here is all about the sausage you use. I used Country Sausage here (more commonly called Breakfast Sausage in New York, or sometimes Sage Sausage, though it doesn't always include sage…) Any bulk sausage will work, though. I've been delighted to find here that I can get both Italian sausage and Chorizo in bulk – I used to sometimes cut the casings to get Italian sausage out to use it in a recipe!
Anyway, I had this muffin, and decided the flavor would work very well with breakfast sausage (I eat muffins and sausage for breakfast, after all!) so I used it, and it was good. Don't need to add any seasoning at all – sausage always has enough salt, and whatever herbs and spices are in the mix.
Beat three eggs in a bowl. Crumble a corn muffin and add it. (Gluten free muffin, of course, if you need the recipe to be – if not, whatever you have. And stale is just fine…) Add half a cup of mirepoix. (Break it up if frozen. If you just sauteed it, cool it a bit first, and crumble the corn muffin into it to cool – you don't want the heat of the vegetables to cook the egg.) Mix this all together.
Add a pound of bulk sausage, and a pound of ground meat. I used country sausage and ground chuck, here, but both can be varied to your own taste. Mix it all very well – I like to use a two tined cooking fork because it doesn't mush it, but keeps the mixture light.
Now spoon it all into your muffin tin. I used two 6 cup tins and got a dozen muffins – I do know that some 12 cup tins have smaller cups, so you may have to mound the meat slightly to make it fit.
Bake at 350° for half an hour.
Now, Rich and I usually eat two sausage meatloaf muffins each, but the parents' appetites can vary. If I have four left, that will be fine, here. We sometimes need a meal for me if they really want pizza or Chinese takeout or something else I can't eat. And we will need easy things I can prep for them to heat up for themselves if we go out for an evening (which we definitely intend to do!) It's all good – and indeed – it is good.
Sausage meatloaf muffins - easy to make, because the seasoning is right in your meat! They freeze and reheat beautifully, and taste good cold as a terrific packed lunch. Perfect for meal planning.
Beat eggs in a bowl. Crumble muffin into egg mixture, and add mirepoix. Mix well.
Add both kinds of meat. Mix well with each other and the egg mixture.
Let cool five minutes in pans before removing.
These freeze and reheat well. If you prefer a traditional loaf, bake for 50 minutes.
Corn Muffins From Homemade Mix!
These meatloaf muffins look amazing. I like that you used a leftover corn muffin as the bread, and I agree that using sausage simplifies the preparation process because you don't need to add any additional seasoning. These are a great idea. I have pinned this recipe and will definitely be making it soon.
I found that this is a neat part of going gluten free. It's challenged me not just to find substitutes for regular wheat bread, but to find things that actually add flavor! I use corn muffins and nuts and quinoa, and find the food tastes better! (Who knew? LOL) Thanks!
LOL - you know, I didn't even think of these for breakfast (even though I used breakfast sausage!) But you're right, they'd be great, for all the same reasons they're good for lunch. Thank you!
How fun and what a great idea!! These look delicious and perfect for breakfast or lunch on the go! My hubby is going to adore these and I can't wait to make them!
Oh, great, I hope he does! And they are so easy to pack. Thank you!
This is such a good idea! Since I'm going into an office again, I need to start doing more meal prep. These would be perfect to take for lunch!
Working from home and going in to a job are so different for meal planning, aren't they? LOL And yes, I carried earlier versions of meatloaf muffins to gigs - I could even toss frozen ones into my bag on a warm day and they'd be thawed - bust still cool - by lunchtime. Very handy! Enjoy them!
These muffin look amazing. Great for breakfast!
Thank you! They would be!
Now this is my kind of breakfast! Homemade sausages you can freeze and reheat for a quick but hearty breakfast works for me!
Well - it's not quite homemade sausage - I did mix commercial sausage with other meat. But it is very convenient. Thank you!
I could see having these yummy muffins for a quick breakfast or lunch. I really like how easy they are to make and the fact that I can freeze them.
Thank you - they're so good, and so convenient!
I had never thought of using a muffin tin for meatloaf but I can see it is a fun and great idea!
This would be perfect for a quick morning breakfast or be accompanying our weekend brunches. Pinning to try later.
That's a nice combination! I like being able to change the seasoning just by using different sausage... Enjoy!
Meatloaf in muffin form? That sounds perfect to me!
Thank you - they are so convenient! Cute too - visually appealing, which makes them more appetizing itself.
So versatile these meat loaf muffins are! I am attracted to anything that' can be had on the go and these fit the bill perfectly!

Q: Is it possible to Click a label control on WPF/WinForm App using Microsoft Automation UI On our application we have a clickable label which will pop up another window. I have been reading through the Microsoft Automation UI documentation, and can't find a way in which I'm able to click a label control.
I know that I can't use the Invoke Pattern as this only deals with Button controls.
Below is the code from the XAML that we have
 <Label Name="LblCompleteOrdersCount" Content="{Binding CompleteOrders, Mode=OneWay}" Margin="434,45,0,0" Height="62" Width="170" Padding="0" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" VerticalContentAlignment="Top" FontSize="56" FontWeight="Bold">
    <Label.InputBindings>
        <MouseBinding Command="{Binding Path=CompleteOrdersCommand}" MouseAction="LeftClick" />
    </Label.InputBindings>
 </Label>

A: My hint is to use Button. It derives from ICommandSource interface and therefore you can effortlessly use Command to associate Button with handler. Ask yourself: what functionality does a Label provide that a Button does not? Better look? Override default Button's Template and you will get equivalent look. As long as you do not take advantage of any additional functionality of Label I see no point is messing around with it.

A: You got 3 options to solve this problem from my point of view:

*

*UI Automation approach is to override the AutomationPeer of your component and return a ButtonAutomationPeer in your case. The big advantage here is beeing able to model every custom behaviour required. Microsoft's docu for further reading

*Use the ClickablePoint of your Label, and combine it with User32.dll (to fire the actual mouseclick on the provided coordinates).  - see also microsoft mouse_event function
docu for further details - This solution does not require any changes in your app but faces the following drawback: you won't be able to automate several apps simultaneously, if you don't build proper sub-routines on your own and you have to take care to keep the Application in the foreground (you may use the ShowWindow function from User32.dll for that).

*As already suggested by Maximus use a Button and make it look like a Label. I agree with him, that it should be a valid workaround in our case.

I'm looking forward to seeing all of the birds return. There are so few coming to the feeders, it's been so cold.
Winter is so not my favorite time of the year. Scraping ice off the car, shoveling snow off the walk, nope, not into it. So, I'm looking for an early spring this year, with open arms.
This is a great time for staying in and working on the drawing board though. But I'm not getting quite as much art produced as I did last year at this time.
I've started an eCommerce business. Decided to branch out into some other things that I love to do. I'm a big fan of soymilk, so I built a website where I can sell the soymilk machine that I use and love.
This is why the posting has been thin these days. Still working on the concept of balancing my time between my two worlds. It's a priority thing.
The art piece for today is another one of my ATC (artist trading cards) in the Silhouette Sky series, done in Colored Pencil. Have a grand day!
Dee, beautiful work. Thanks for the inspiration! Spring can't come too soon here in the Cleveland area either!
Dee, thanks for your encouragement. Love your work! Also waiting for the snows to leave… (sigh).
Great ATC! I love the colors, wish I could be somewhere like that now 🙂 I'm with you on this winter stuff – ready for it to end!
Thanks Mark and Ann!! Don't know what happened Mark, looks like you were having trouble getting your comments to post, then everything posted. We just had another snow dump on us here. But it's calling for some warmer weather this week.

Search Platform iseek.ai Turns Raw Data Into Insight
Article Recruiting Tools Noel Cocca Dean Da Costa February 11, 2022
The search platform iseek.ai promises to enhance content discoverability and search speed for professionals from across a variety of sectors. This tool is the best of the best when it comes to removing irrelevant data from searches. Get ahead in the sourcing scene with this giant focused laser beam of a search platform. The only question is, can you handle its power?
Understanding the strength of a search platform:
An easy way to wrap your head around a search platform is to think of it as Google on steroids. Taking data across the internet, it's grand design is to facilitate rapid search and filtration of information. This industrial sized vacuum scoops up all sorts of data, with emphasis on spitting out profiled aggregated data. This advanced tool is not just a search engine, it's an all in one platform. You have control over presenting this data how you see fit, filtering out all sorts of meaningless info. Whether it's identifying gaps and redundancies in content or linking concepts with natural language, it has you covered. Iseek.ai is so multi purpose that to give you a specific definition of what it does would not be doing it justice. It is a platform that excels in converting chunks of data into meaningful insight.
For example, typing someone's full name in this specialized search engine will get you a list of all their profiles over the internet. These are things like their social media profiles, any publications they contribute to, any projects they've put out into the world, and so on. But like we were saying, iseek.ai does a lot more than just track down a person's social media profile. To some extent, having iseek.ai hunt specific people is a laughably simple task compared to its full power.
Straight from the horse's mouth, here are some features of this multi purpose platform:
When should you use iseek.ai?
Not to be generic or misleading, but literally whenever you're doing a narrow search. Iseek.ai doesn't like to do generic searches; the more specialized the better. If you're having a hard time pinpointing a specific individual or want to learn more about the online presence of a company, unleash the full power of iseek.ai. It allows users to orchestrate a networked ecosystem of bots, agents, and advisers. These wizards are on standby to help, so you don't need to have any tech background. We recognize the horsepower at your fingertips with a tool such as this, so bear in mind with great power comes great responsibility.
To get started, you can visit iseek.ai and request a demo by filling out their online form. We understand the accessibility of paid tools such as this.

Venture Fund Member Profile
Originate Ventures invests in companies located in Pennsylvania and the surrounding regions.
Broad range of industries, with a concentration on medical devices, healthcare, consumer, information technology, web-based, and commercial products, and where the expertise of Originate�s partners can meaningfully contribute to the success of the company.
We focus on early stage and emerging growth product opportunities, but we will also consider building a management team around a great product idea, investing into certain distressed and turnaround situations and management buyouts if these product opportunities present superior return opportunities.
We aim to invest between $500,000 and $4 million per company, usually over more than one round. We prefer to lead the investment, but will participate in larger deals when given the opportunity, as a result of our regional concentration and skill sets, to represent a larger group of investors. If the funding requirement is greater than our capital limits, then we may seek additional capital from angel investors, commercial banks, and other venture capital firms.
Investing in good people is at the core of most successful business ventures. We believe in partnering with people who have strong values, respectable reputations, and a proven record of success. We seek management teams that demonstrate many of the leadership qualities that we, ourselves, have demonstrated over the years.
Although there are many unique variables based on the investment type and industry, there are many common product characteristics that we expect to see in any deal that we consider.

New Mexico racks up more medals at GABF 2014
Posted: October 4, 2014 by cjax33 in Events, GABF 2014, News
Tags: Blue Corn Brewing, Bosque Brewing, Chama River, Il Vicino Brewery Canteen, Marble Brewing, Santa Fe Brewing
Well, the results are in, and New Mexico has once again shined at the Great American Beer Festival. A year after a record eight medals (the best mark before that in a single year had been just four), NM breweries piled up another eight this time around in Denver, including a record five gold medals. That's not too shabby for one of the least populous states in the country. The winners were announced in a huge ceremony Saturday morning that was streamed live online.
And as I originally wrote below about leaving for work before the breweries of the year were announced and all … voila, I pulled a reverse jinx of sorts. Marble Brewery was named the Small Brewing Company of the Year. As in the best in the entire country. Wow. Congratulations to Ted, Josh, Leah, and everyone else! This is a huge achievement for a New Mexico brewery.

Long before that, Marble brought home the first medal of the day when they captured gold in the Other Strong Beer category for Double White. It was the sixth all-time GABF medal for Marble and the first gold in brewery history. Marble had previously claimed two silvers for their Pilsner in 2013 and Imperial Red in 2012. Later in the day, Marble earned its second gold for Imperial Red in the Imperial Red Ale category. Way to go, Marble!
Entering GABF for the first time, Bosque Brewing took home a bronze in the Fresh or Wet Hop Ale category for Acequia Wet Hop IPA. Brewer John Bullard had previously won a pair of silver medals for Blue Corn Brewery in 2013.
Santa Fe Brewing brought home their fourth all-time medal with a bronze in the American-Style Sour Ale category for Los Innovadores Kriek. SFBC has three past bronze medals.
Canteen Brewhouse (formerly Il Vicino), snagged a silver in the Aged Beer category for St. Bob's Imperial Stout '07. It was the 11th all-time medal, with St. Bob's having previously claimed a silver in Aged Beer back in 2009. It's the sixth silver in Canteen/Il Vicino's history. Later in the competition, Canteen earned the second gold in their history (Panama Joe won in Coffee Beer, 2013) when Dougie Style Amber took the American-Style Amber/Red Ale category.
Meanwhile, Zach Guilmette claimed his first medal as head brewer when Chama River captured gold in the Bohemian Pilsner category for Class VI Golden Lager. Zach took over at Chama last year and has already made a huge impact. The gold was Chama's fifth all-time medal and third gold following Three Dog Night (2010, Baltic Porter) and Rye On (Rye Beer, 2004).
Blue Corn's Gold Medal Oatmeal Stout lived up to its name with a gold medal in the Oatmeal Stout category. It won a silver medal last year and a gold back in 2007 (hence its name). Congrats to James Warren for his first medal as head brewer.
For those surprised that no medal came home in the American-Style India Pale Ale category, well, there were 279 entries (nearly double any other category). We still think Project Dank deserved better, but alas, that was a ridiculous number of beers for people to sort through.
All told, 234 different breweries won a medal (out of 268 total). That's some parity across America. More great beer for all of us!
Congratulations to all the breweries for representing our state so well. We look forward to heading out and enjoying more of these medal-winning beers in the days ahead!

Check you stats, Il Vicino has at least Four Golds. They won best IPA and American Brown back in 96.

We went off the official site: http://www.greatamericanbeerfestival.com/the-competition/winners/
It says Tenderfoot Brown won silver in '96, but no IPA winning gold was listed for IV. If you're sure that's not right, there's a place on there where you can send email corrections.

Lions, Tigers, and … oh, lord, what a disaster


The West's vast propaganda machine has pulled in many formerly respectable groups, such as Amnesty International, which just released a dubious "human rights" report aimed at stoking the war in Syria, reports Rick Sterling.
Exclusive: President Obama refused to hold "war on terror" torturers to account but punished truth-tellers severely, a bleak legacy not erased by Chelsea Manning's belated commutation, as Jonathan Marshall explains.
Who's the Real Manipulator of Elections?
Exclusive: In berating Russia for alleged interference in the recent U.S. election, the U.S. intelligence community ignores the extensive U.S. role in manipulating political movements around the globe, observes Jonathan Marshall.
Exclusive: Barack Obama is one of the "coolest" American presidents, but his "team of rivals" approach to governing – trying to accommodate and co-opt his adversaries – proved disastrous, especially in the Mideast, says Daniel Lazare.
Propaganda is now such a pervasive part of Western governance that any foreign leader who resists the prevailing power structure can be turned into a demon and made a target of a "regime change" war, explains John Pilger.

Q: Can we Install a plugin or software from browser? We are developing a website which is required some software to install for first time like flash player for youtube...
but the question is without asking the user can we install it?
i found this some where but link ., but i dont want to ask the permission from user/OS. By calling the website only software should install if it is not installed on the perticular machine....
Is it possible?
This is not a good question, i know but we want to develop an inhouse website, the website will not go to live for remote users. if any security settings we need to change in our systems we are ready to do.......

A: No. It's not possible. Browsers are meant to run in sandboxes to prevent remote execution of arbitrary code. So you will need to ask the user for permissions.
If you are on java world you can use JavaWebStart. Otherwise, you could run a FLASH SCRIPT to provide the extra functionality you need for your WebSite. But since you didn't provide extra information on your issue, it's difficult to give you proper recommendations.

A: Do you mean installing it as in launching the install without the user having to click a "INSTALL" button or do you mean install the software without the user noticing you've done anything at all.
The second is not possible for security reasons.
