Everybody who cares about how they are seen will have a desire to be attractive. Sometimes people don't know how to go about improving their appearance, but it's rarely because they want to look bad. There are hundreds of techniques one can use to improve their looks. This article is tip central when it comes to looking your best.
Try a night-time application of Vaseline for your feet. When you wake up in the morning, your feet will be incredibly smooth. Make it simple to remember by making it a nightly habit. After you apply the Vaseline, don some socks before you tuck yourself in for the night.
Wearing sunscreen is a fool-proof way to protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays. When purchasing one, look for one with additional skin-friendly ingredients. These ingredients will help to yield a more natural look, which will improve your appearance.
Plain baking soda can give you shinier hair. Add a touch of baking soda and shampoo into your hand just as you are about to use it. Lather your hair as you usually do. This strips away product build-up and leaves your hair looking shiny and clean.
Before you turn in for the night, wash your makeup off to save your skin. Just use a soft cloth and warm water, unless you want to try a commercial remover. After that, simply cleanse your face as you normally would. Leaving on make-up can clog your pores and cause acne.
Keep a few particular beauty products in your fridge. You definitely want to do this in summertime! If it is particularly hot outside you can keep your beauty products in the refrigerator. In addition, your face will love how cool and refreshing they feel on the skin.
Unless you have flawless skin, choose a matte blush rather than a shimmer blush. Shimmer brushes typically highlight any blemishes on your body, which include scars, bumps, moles, and acne, which is not what you are going to want. However, matte blushes help to hide blemishes, so that your skin looks flawless and radiant.
To prevent dry skin around the eye area, gently apply moisturizing eye cream each night. If you keep the skin around your eyes well moisturized, it will minimize dark circles, and lessen the chance of getting wrinkles and fine lines.
The concept of beauty is made up of several different factors that must all join together. Maintaining proper skin care is one of the more important pieces of remaining beautiful. Men tend to overlook skin care when they are grooming themselves. However, if they just spent a little bit of time on it they would appear more attractive.
If you want your lips to look plump and beautiful, try a glossy approach. For fuller lips without color line your lips with a bronzer. Once you've done this, utilize a top out that contains gold, peach, or coral gloss.
There is one beauty tip that has a huge effect for both men and women. Always take time to keep your eyebrows well-shaped and trimmed. Also, never allow yourself to grow a uni-brow. If you have a uni-brow or bushy eyebrows, try trimming them down for a more attractive look.
Everyone wants to be seen as attractive. Unfortunately, it can sometimes be very difficult to appreciate our natural beauty. With the vast amount of beauty information out there, it is hard to make sense of it all. What are the best beauty tips for you? This article offered some of that advice to help you feel and look more beautiful.

"A timely warning, at a critical moment in world history, of the horrible consequences of nuclear warfare." Walter Cronkite
On September 18, 2001, one week after the World Trade Center disaster, Lockheed Martin, the country's leading manufacturer of conventional weaponry, nuclear delivery systems, and national missile defense, took a full-page ad in the New York Times echoing JFK's famous call to "pay any price to assure the survival and the success of liberty." The ad offered an unusually public display of what is typically the invisible hand and muscle of the arms industry guiding American sentiment and government.
In her uncannily timely new book, Dr. Helen Caldicott looks at the indebtedness of the Bush Administration to the arms industry and warns of the incredible dangers inherent in allowing weapons manufacturers to dictate foreign policy. Recounting the history of government collusion with industry, Caldicott shows how the merging of weapons firm in the 1980s created hugely powerful "death merchants," including Lockheed and others, ready to lobby politicians and manipulate public opinion on behalf of their corporate interests.
Now, with unprecedented acts of terrorism fueling the American public's willingness to grant its government broad power to wage war, the constant pressure from weapons makers to use military force — and by extension, buy more of their weapons — poses the very real threat of nuclear war. Enumerating, as a physician, the medical consequences of such a war, Caldicott demonstrates conclusively that the notion of nuclear survival is a complete fantasy, and that nuclear victory is an oxymoron.
In the same way that a generation embraced Caldicott's hugely influential Nuclear Madness and Missile Envy, The New Nuclear Danger stands to educate, alert, and mobilize millions of young people and concerned citizens, who must understand the planetary threat posed by overly aggressive nuclear scientific establishments and weapons industries in a volatile world. The edition published by Scribe Publications contains a specially written chapter for Australian and New Zealand readers.

Q: Omu.ValueInjecter checking property before allowing a set to occur I need to extend the Omu.ValueInjecter to perform a check before a property assignment is made.  Given the code example below, assignment of prop A should only occur if SetA is true.  I suspect LoopValueInjection is not the right base class here, but could someone correct the code below so that I can check SetA during the injection process?
var source = new Source() { A = 3 };
var dest = new Dest();
dest.InjectFrom<MyInjector>(source);

public class Source
{
    public int A { get; set; }
    public bool SetA { get; set; }
}
public class Dest
{
    public int A { get; set; }
}

public class MyInjector : LoopValueInjection // or some other base class!
{
    protected override bool AllowSetValue(object value)
    {
        // check SetA!!
        //return base.AllowSetValue(value);
    }
}

A: Ok, I have it working now.  Below is the correct code.  I missed the UseSourceProp overload which served my purposes exactly.
The problem I was trying to solve was with MVC after a view model is posted to an action, you must copy the view model data into the data model.  When the data model is initialized there could be certain defaults that are set.  And when the view model was injected, those defaults would be overwritten.  It would be correct to overwrite those if the view model properties had been set, but I had default values being overwritten by view model values that had not been set from a post operation.
The solution was to put a flag in the view model that would indicate whether a property had been set are not.  And the setter for each property I simply updated a common list string object in the base class.
In the code below in the UseSourceProp method, you can see that if the property name being processed does not exist in SetProperties, then the method returns false and the property is not set.
var source = new Source() { A = 3 };
var dest = new Dest();
dest.InjectFrom<MyInjector>(source);

public class Source
{
    public int A { get; set; }
    public bool SetA { get; set; }
}
public class Dest
{
    public int A { get; set; }
}

public class MyInjector : LoopValueInjection // or some other base class!
{
    protected override void Inject(object source, object target)
    {
        if (source is BaseEntityViewModel) _baseEntityViewModel = (BaseEntityViewModel)source;
        base.Inject(source, target);
    }
    protected override bool UseSourceProp(string sourcePropName)
    {
        if (_baseEntityViewModel is BaseEntityViewModel)
            return _baseEntityViewModel.SetProperties.Contains(sourcePropName);
        else
            return base.UseSourceProp(sourcePropName);
    }
}

A: I think overridding the SetValue method might be what you need. This is a slight modification of the docs from here: http://valueinjecter.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Getting%20started&referringTitle=Documentation and http://valueinjecter.codeplex.com/discussions/355101
public class MyInjector : LoopValueInjection
{
    //by default is return sourcePropertyValue; override to change behaviour
    protected override object SetValue(ConventionInfo c)
    {
        // this is just a sample, but you could write anything here
        return new Dest
        {
            //Check if source value is true and only then set property

            if(c.SourceProp.Name == "SetA")
            {
              var setASourceVal = c.TargetProp.Value As bool;
              if(setASourceVal)
              {
                A = sourcePropertyValue;
              }
            }
        }
    }
}

A: depends which injection your using,
with ConventionInjection you have the value in the Match method
https://valueinjecter.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=step%20by%20step%20explanation&referringTitle=Home
for the LoopValueInjection you can override AllowSetValue
the latest (fastest) injection is this: https://valueinjecter.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=SmartConventionInjection&referringTitle=Home

It has one limitation comparing to the ConventionInjection, you don't have the values of the Source and Target Properties in the Match method but you have them in the SetValue Method and you can cancel the setting of the value to that property if you set false to the ref parameter setValue

Tamara Qaddoumi, a musical poetry from the desert
By JDEED Team | 18 April 2018
Words/Lou Mamalet
Even in the desert of Kuwait, things can still grow, without water but a lot of creativity. Tamara Qaddoumi is one good example: a hybrid flower of half Lebanese-Scottish and half Palestinian descent, rooted in the sand with the head in the clouds. Like the bird in the video clip of her first EP Flowers will rot, released last month, she flies freely between territories and artistic disciplines. After ice-skating in the desert, playing the comedy in a drama school of England, she is now doing her musical baptism with Dust Bathing, a poetic and metaphoric prompting to embrace life.
"Art to me is a matter of emotional survival, the only way I can express myself"
Born in Paris, raised in Kuwait by foreign parents, you also studied in London and US. What did you learn from this cosmopolitan upbringing?
As a child, I went through a bit of an identity crisis because I was trying to assemble different parts of the world. But then, when I matured enough, everything got linked together naturally. I have finally found my middle ground, and music had a big part in helping me to find that steadiness.
Picture / Djinane AlSuwayeh
What was your childhood like in Kuwait?
I always preferred colder climate and I used to spend all my time on the ice rink, which was kind of beautifully haunting because the ice rink was used to store the bodies during the Gulf war. I started to ice skate at 4 and to train extensively with a private coach. There was no figure skating at that time and I quickly started to represent my country in regional competition. I was invited to junior Olympics in China at the age of 14 but my mother thought, if I go and take part I would have to move out of Kuwait for good, and life of an athlete wasn't something she wanted for me. That was a very difficult period in my life where I felt that a part of me was died.
Why did you choose to do art?
Art to me is a matter of emotional survival, the only way I can express myself. It gives me room to explore vulnerability which is usually seen as weakness, but it is such a strength when you're given the room and space to embrace it. To me, it's all about pushing boundaries to stop the world from falling asleep.
Listen to Dust Bathing on SoundCloud
How did your country influence your art?
Kuwait is a very sleepy country and it was sometimes frustrating as a thirsty teenager. I found myself always hunting for inspirational. Running on empty created an emotional gap and it sort of fuelled a feeling of "resentment" when I was younger. As I grew, my music stemmed from that teenage negative feeling and gave me completely new eyes on how I see and appreciate Kuwait more than ever. A lot has changed over time and there is so much more food for thought now.
Is it not difficult to be a female artist in Kuwait?
Now there are a lot of changes going on. With the wide expanding platform social media has offered us, this I believe has given people more freedom of expression. Music is a very small industry here but we now have a lot more local talent emerging because we have more places to showcase the beautiful work. I could play on the role of being an emerging female artist from my country who is joining a strong pool of worldly woman that I believe are indeed pushing boundaries in the art & music industry but I prefer not to play in the favor of gender.
Your music is very poetic and nostalgic. What is the story of Dust bathing?
When I was a child, I remember that I once saw a bird taking its bath in the sand. This to me was metaphor of life: you have to constantly adjust to survive. You make do with what you have and Dust bathing, is what I have here in Kuwait. I am blessed and grateful for the stability it's brought me in every way. It's nurtured me differently. I don't believe people get stuck in a certain place because of their surrounding. It is a matter of being in tune with your environment. My music is about embracing that.
What do you like in Kuwait?
The desert. When I was younger, I used to find it very flat and it was so hard looking ahead with nothing looking back at you. But later on, I realized that is what makes it so beautiful. You see nothingness all around you in our vast desert. And it almost gives you the impression that you're walking on the moon. But then you explore different ends and you find some greenery, gorgeous full palm trees & other species still managing to stem and grow despite the roaring heat.
How did you work on your first EP Flowers will rot?
I had the chance of working with the most wonderful team Pamela Farhat & Michel Doumit who run Tic Motion Studio: a motion design and animation studio in Beirut who brought Flowers to Rot to life!
Bringing in Pablo Lozano to direct, the only thing I can say that it is such a privilege, truly a privilege, to meet people who speak your language effortlessly. To work with talented, wordly people who believe in the work and poured their heart and souls into the work. I think that shows in each second of the piece.
I am so lucky.
What other work inspires you?
I love cirque invisible, brilliant circus exploring all end of physical theatre. Poetic bodies in motion run by James Thieree (Charlie Chaplin's grandson) and his mother Victoria Chaplin. To me, music should be able to activate all your senses. And accomplishing such fluidity is a masterpiece!
What do you call home today?
Home for me isn't a physical place. It is more about people.

I have a hard drive which has Linux in it. I want to delete the Linux and load Windows.So I changed the booting scource from Hard drive to CD rom where I have Windows 2000. The PC booted but still loaded LINUX. So I am thinking buy a new hard drive and install Windows. So what do I need to do to install new hard drive and how.
You do not need a new HDD unless there is an underlying problem with it.
The first thing to do is delete Linux from your drive. Change your boot sequence back to A. Create a boot floppy (www.bootdisk.com). and repartition and or format using the fdisk and format commands. When this is done you are then ready to install windows.Let us know if you need step by step instruction.
I do not have adminstrator rights of the desktop,so I do not have deletion rights of the Linux.
So can you provide me steps I need to do.
You'll need to delete the partion. You can't do this when you are booted into linux on the partition, so you'll have to boot into dos (from a floppy) or linux (from a knoppix cd or gentoo live cd for example). Then run fdisk (same in dos and linux) and remove the partition. Then install windows and it'll prompt you to create a partition for it.
move on to the next boot device listed in the BIOS.
CDs have the same kind of problem.
Make sure that the CDs aren't dirty or scratched.
Please be sure to rate all of the answers provided.
This will rewrite the MBR and delete Linux boot loader.
Then run Fdisk to delete Windows 2000 partition. If it is NTFS, delete non-dos partition.
If you have Windows 2000 in a logical drive in the extended partition, you cannot use Fdisk.
Please add a comment if this is the case. I will give you more help.
From your description my immediate response is: your win2k cd is not a bootable cd. Try it on another computer to see if it boots from the cd. If no, problem solved: get a proper bootable win2k cd. If yes, then there are other problems involved.
Repartition your linux so that you have at least 2gb free space(unpartitioned) in the hard disk. Then boot up by using a win98 bootdisk, and partition the free space into FAT32, since win98 bootdisk does not recognise NTFS. Then, boot from your cd again (make sure cdrom is in first place for boot sequence, for safety you might want to even remove the HDD from boot sequence) and it should work. You can now install win2k, then install partition magic, which recognises linux partitions, to delete the linux partition. Then, repartition this FAT32 drive to include your whole HDD, or make a new NTFS partition to install win2k on it again, if you prefer win2k on NTFS partitions.
Answer 5 is probably correct, but I must add that if the CD is not the primary boot drive in the bios then it will always boot from the HD. THUS LINUX !
I totally agree with booting up to the a: drive,with a windows boot disk. fdisk, and fdisk the mbr. Than format the hard drive, and install. Set the bios to boot up to floppy. I know you are not using a music cd, cuz you said you had win2000 in the drive. Some peoples kids! ps.


Description: Both circuits will be run simultaneously in a clockwise direction.
We have two options for this trail run with a shorter 11 km circuit via Wineglass Bay and Hazards Beach, and the full 29 km circuit taking in Mt Graham and Cooks Beach. If this is your first trail run we strongly suggest you do the shorter circuit. We cannot take walkers on the long circuit due to the time it takes to complete that distance. If entering the 29km run you need to provide evidence of your capability to complete the course in under 5:30hrs.
Compulsory equipment is required for the 29km loop and includes: a thermal top, a space blanket, water (bladder or drink bottle), food (energy bar/gel/chocolate bar), a head torch and a roller bandage. A waterproof top and additional warm clothes/beanie/gloves are also suggested in case the weather gods do not smile on us!
There are many camping and accomodation options within Freycinet National Park and nearby Coles Bay if you wish to make a weekend of it - highly recomended!!!
You must register (at the Wineglass carpark) between 7:45 - 8:15am for a 8:30am start.
You must register (at the Wineglass carpark) between 8:15 - 8:45am for a 9am start.

NeNe Leakes seems in really high spirits these days after she announced on social media that her hubby Gregg Leakes managed to defeat cancer.
She also made sure to slam breakup rumors which surfaced last week after people saw one RHOA episode which was filmed back in 2018.
Now NeNe poses with her husband on social media after she made sure to apologize to him for not knowing exactly how to act during this really difficult time in his life.
He did the same thing and apologized to her. Fans are now convinced that neither of them wanted to hurt the other.
It's great that these two managed to remain together and fight Gregg's disease.

Rick Astley and Blossoms set for Smiths tribute live shows
By Classic Pop | September 15, 2021
Rick Astley and Blossoms
Rick Astley and indie five-piece Blossoms have announced they are teaming up for two special live shows celebrating the music of The Smiths.
The announcement comes just a few days after Astley joined the band on-stage in London.
The gigs will be taking place on 8 October at Manchester's Albert Hall and 9 October at London's O2 Forum Kentish Town. Tickets go on-sale for both dates at 9.30am on Fri 17 September.
"The Smiths have always meant so much to Blossoms, with even their rainiest songs complete with wry humour and soul-reaching musicianship and melody," says the band's frontman, Tom Ogden. "Their poppier moments are pure, joyful, danceable poetry. Imagine backing Rick Astley to play the songs of The Smiths? We've had wilder dreams, but not many. We'll barely be able to believe it until it happens, but the dates are set, we're studying every note, line and beat to say 'thank you' to The Smiths alongside Rick and do both of them proud."
"From the moment The Smiths emerged in 1983," adds Astley, "I was hooked and it's as a fan, with deep respect as a musician for Morrissey, Marr, Rourke and Joyce, that I'll be joining the endlessly enthusiastic and talented Blossoms on stage to sing their songs. It's no secret that it's been an ambition of mine to turn an idea that first sounded crazy, making more sense as Blossoms and I talked about it and then rehearsed it, into a reality. These shows will be nights that I'll never forget."
Blossoms just last month released their brand-new single Care For. Produced by James Skelly and Rich Turvey, it was the first new music the band since their double A-side Christmas single Christmas Eve (Soul Purpose)/It's Going To Be A Cold Winter, released in 2020. Since forming in 2013, Blossoms have enjoyed widespread success including a BRIT Award for Best Breakthrough Act nomination and sold 20,000 tickets in just one day for their historic, 2019 homecoming to Edgeley Park, Stockport.

Jeb Goes "3 AM" on Trump
by Agree Staff
In the 1984 Democratic primary, when Walter Mondale needed to dispatch upstart Sen. Gary Hart, his political team dropped the "red phone" ad, which questioned Hart's ability to manage the Cold War against the Soviet Union. When Hillary Clinton tried to thwart Barack Obama in 2008, her consultants levied a similar "3 AM" attack, which said "It's 3 AM ... There's a phone in the White House and it's ringing ... your vote will decide who answers that call."
Now Jeb Bush is seeking to regain the Republican primary lead over Donald Trump with his new political ad, "Judgment."
The ad starts with the same serious, ominous tone of the Clinton and Mondale ads: a black screen, foreboding music and white text reminding that the president is also "Commander-In-Chief of the world's most powerful military in control of 4,650 nuclear warheads."
But the ad's tone shifts abruptly for a mocking montage of Trump clips backed by goofy music.
We see Trump tell NBC's Chuck Todd that "I watch the shows" for military advice. We see him trash Sen. John McCain for being captured in Vietnam. We see vintage footage of Trump saying that Hillary Clinton would be the best negotiator with the Iranians, and more recent footage in which Trump says he wouldn't "rip up a deal" with Iran. We see a Trump speech in which he ... well, we just can't describe with words what exactly he's doing there.
Interspersed are news clips describing how Trump once said he "always felt like I was in the military" despite never serving, and pundits trashing his policy knowledge.
Going after a novice's national security credentials worked for Mondale, but not for Clinton. The sheer volume of Trump's gaffes were too enticing for Bush's political consultants to pass up, and could well be what eventually brings him down.
But, as Clinton learned 8 years ago, sometimes voters wanting major change just don't care about national security experience.


Happy Monday morning! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend. I must say that I can breathe a huge sign of relief now that our garage sale is over! It ended up being a huge success! I was a little concerned on Saturday morning because it was raining and incredibly windy. We actually shut it down for an hour or so but then it cleared up and ended up being a beautiful day. We got rid of so much stuff - I love doing a good clean every year where you can just purge. Everything that was left has been boxed up and sent to off to Goodwill. So happy that is done for another year.
On Sunday we had a great visit with a Debbie, Nicholas and Michelle, our good friends from Ottawa. We always have a great time with them. Our kids see each other once a year and every year, it's like they've been together all along, there is no 'warm up' time. It's just fun from start to finish. I'm curious to see what the next few years bring as Jordyn and Nicholas hit the teen years. They are a day short of a year apart (Nicholas being older). Debbie and I have been friends since junior high - so for a very long time! It's so fun to see our kids get along so well.
Anyway on to todays project... It's been a while since I've shared a digital project so I thought I would share a layout I started a couple weeks ago and finished up last night. I love this photo of Abby and my Dad and had to do a layout.
I hope to be creating a bit more in MDS lately so watch for more layouts etc. Tomorrows Tuesday - do you know what that means? New digital downloads! I look forward to seeing what's new!
Free tutorial with any $50 online purchase from my shop. Digital downloads can count towards your $50 purchase!!

I am a self made and hard working person, to be a doctor in India and completing MD in OBGYN for a middle class person is a Dream. It is not a Dream come true for me it is pure hard work, dedication and a sacrifice. I earned my degree with my aptitude, support of my parents and with support of taxpayer's money in the form of scholarships.
As a passionate physician, the patient is my primary focus whether I am in the clinic or in the hospital. As a OB/GYN, I focus on giving each patient the best care possible, treating each one as how I personally wants get treated and practice evidence based medicine, I constantly ask how I can make a difference in the lives of my patients.
Dr. Jyothi is great OBGY physician, very helpful during my pregnancy and delivery. I should be very thankful for guiding and supporting me in all stages of my pregnancy. Me being as a doctor, I'm really grateful to her for making it normal, otherwise I would've ended up with a C-section. She has a good and caring staff.


It pictures the Sopot Pier (Polish: Molo w Sopocie) – the pier in the city of Sopot, built as a pleasure pier and as a mooring point for cruise boats, first opened in 1827. At 511.5m, the pier is the longest wooden pier in Europe. It stretches into the sea from the middle of Sopot beach which is a popular venue for recreation and health walks (the concentration of iodine at the tip of the pier is twice as high as on land) or public entertainment events, and it also serves as a mooring point for cruise boats and water taxis. It is also an excellent point for observing the World Sailing Championship, the Baltic Windsurfing Cup and the Sopot Triathlon taking place on the bay. Sopot pier consists of 2 parts: the famous wooden walking jetty and the Spa Square on land, where concerts and festivities are organised.

This is the bus park of one of the smaller bus interchanges in Singapore. It is the Kent Ridge Bus Interchange. It only has a few routes.
Some other bus interchanges in Singapore are bigger, and some have air conditioned waiting areas too.
International friends, how does the bus interchanges in your city look like?
None that I've seen are as attractive as your photo with green grass and a canopy of trees. Buses all look to be in great shape. Our interchanges seem to be dominated by concrete. Happy Sunday to you!!
Just like Kate said, unfortunately. I wish we had something like that here, very nice. Singapore's infrastructure is tremendous!
I don't think we have a lot of bus interchanges/depots in NYC because of security reasons.
But I doubt they are as clean or orderly as the ones in Singapore.
It was lovely meeting you at the floggers dinner. I hope to see you next year!
Can't help wondering, what is the floggers dinner?
what colorful buses! My BIL lives in Singapore and he was in Madison WI with us this weekend and we saw lovely pictures of the city.
The buses look clean and the colors are interesting!
Great buses. Love the colours and the bus station looks so clean, but then Singapore is probably the cleanest city I've ever had the pleasure to visit. You have tough laws on dropping rubbish, I know. Quite right too!

Every year Schroon's Fire Department – made up exclusively of volunteers – answers more than 120 calls to help those in need. From car wrecks, to boat fires on the lake, full blown dwellings ablaze, to false alarms, these dedicated men and women are at the ready.
And this Saturday, they are looking for a few good men and women to join their ranks, by hosting an Open House at the Fire Department. The event has a two-fold purpose: it's part of a state wide effort to attract volunteers and also to give residents an up close look at the gear, equipment, drills and trucks the Schroon Lake Fire Department uses. The day kicks off with a free breakfast at 10 am.
"We are starting the day with a pancake breakfast, with eggs, French toast and sausages," Ken Hedden, the SLFD First Officer and Training Captain told Schroon Laker today.
There will also be booths set up in the apparatus bay featuring displays from the State Police, the FD Ladies Auxiliary and the Emergency Squad.
To become a volunteer fire fighter applicants must live or work at least 40 hours a week in Schroon Lake. Ideally, the Fire Department is set up for 50 volunteers, but right now has between 30 – 35 active members.
"We could definitely use a few more poeple," Ken said.

The colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) is part of the family Cranchiidae. It is sometimes called the Antarctic squid or giant cranch squid and is believed to be the largest squid species in terms of mass. It is the only recognized member of the genus Mesonychoteuthis and is known from only a small number of specimens. The species is confirmed to reach a mass of at least , though the largest specimens—known only from beaks found in sperm whale stomachs—may perhaps weigh as much as , making it the largest known invertebrate. Maximum total length has been estimated at . The colossal squid has the largest eyes of any known creature ever to exist, with an estimated diameter of 30–40 cm (12–16 in).

The species has similar anatomy to other members of its family although it is the only member of Cranchiidae to display hooks on its arms and tentacles. It is known to inhabit the circumantarctic Southern Ocean. Although little is known about the behaviour, it is known to use bioluminescence to attract prey. It is presumed to be an ambush predator, and is a major prey of the sperm whale.

The first specimens were discovered and described in 1925. In 1981, an adult specimen was discovered, and in 2003 a second specimen was collected. Captured in 2007, the largest colossal squid weighed , and is now on display at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa.

Morphology
The colossal squid shares features common to all squids: a mantle for locomotion, one pair of gills, and certain external characteristics like eight arms and two tentacles, a head, and two fins. In general, it is safe to describe the morphology and anatomy of the colossal squid the same way one would describe any other squid. However, there are certain morphological / anatomical characteristics that separate the colossal squid from other squids in its family: The colossal squid is the only squid in its family with hooks, either swivelling or three-pointed, equipped on its arms and tentacles. There are squids in other families that also have hooks, but no other squid in the family Cranchiidae.

Unlike most squid species, the colossal squid exhibits abyssal gigantism; it is the heaviest living invertebrate species, reaching weights up to . For comparison, squids typically have a mantle length of about  and weigh about .

The giant squid also exhibits deep-sea gigantism but the colossal squid is heavier. However, giant squids are usually longer: up to 13m, compared with up to 10m for colossal squid.

It is unclear what the maximum weight for colossal squids is, as analysis of squid beaks found inside sperm whales' stomachs has demonstrated that it is likely that colossal squids much heavier exist, up to .

The colossal squid also has the largest eyes documented in the animal kingdom, with an estimated diametre of .

Distribution and habitat
The squid's known range extends thousands of kilometres north of Antarctica to southern South America, southern South Africa, and the southern tip of New Zealand, making it primarily an inhabitant of the entire circumantarctic Southern Ocean. Colossal squid are also sighted often near Cooperation Sea and less near Ross Sea because of its predator and competitor, the Antarctic toothfish. The region between the Weddell Sea and the western Kerguelen archipelago has been deemed a "hotspot" based on characteristics of the habitat. The squid's vertical distribution appears to correlate directly with age. Young squid are found between , adolescent squid are found  and adult squid are found primarily within the mesopelagic and bathypelagic regions of the open ocean.

Behavior

Feeding

Little is known about their behaviour, but it is believed to feed on prey such as chaetognatha, large fish such as the Patagonian toothfish, and smaller squid in the deep ocean using bioluminescence. A recent study by Remeslo, Yakushev and Laptikhovsky revealed that Antarctic toothfish make up a significant part of the colossal squid's diet; of the 8,000 toothfish brought aboard trawlers between 2011 and 2014, seventy-one showed clear signs of attack by colossal squid. A study in Prydz Bay region of Antarctica found squid remains in a female colossal squid's stomach, suggesting the possibility of cannibalism within this species. Studies measuring the δ15N content of the chitinous beaks of cephalopods to determine trophic ecology levels have demonstrated that the colossal squid is a top predator that is positively correlated with its increased size. This new confirmation of the colossal squid's trophic level suggests that it likely preys on large fishes and smaller squids, according to its size, and that its predators include sperm whales and sleeper sharks.

Metabolism
The colossal squid is thought to have a very slow metabolic rate, needing only around  of prey daily for an adult with a mass of . Estimates of its energy requirements suggest it is a slow-moving ambush predator, using its large eyes primarily for prey-detection rather than engaging in active hunting.

Predation
Many sperm whales have scars on their backs, believed to be caused by the hooks of colossal squid. Colossal squid are a major prey item for sperm whales in the Antarctic; 14% of the squid beaks found in the stomachs of these sperm whales are those of the colossal squid, which indicates that colossal squid make up 77% of the biomass consumed by these whales. Many other animals also feed on colossal squid, including the beaked whales, such as southern bottlenose whales, Cuvier's and Baird's beaked whales; the beaked whales essentially resemble oversized dolphins, some with a more pronounced underbite on their snout (or "beak"). They are among the deepest-diving cetaceans ever recorded, besides the sperm whale. This places the beaked whales as some of the few food competitors of the sperm whale. Other possible squid predators include the pilot whale, killer whales, larger southern elephant seals, Patagonian toothfish, southern sleeper sharks (Somniosus antarcticus), Antarctic toothfish, and albatrosses (e.g., the wandering and sooty albatrosses). However, beaks from mature adults have only been recovered from large predators (i.e. sperm whales and southern sleeper sharks), while the other predators only eat juveniles or young adults.

Reproduction
Little is known about the colossal squid's reproductive cycle although the colossal squid does have two distinct sexes. Many species of squid, however, develop sex-specific organs as they age and develop. The adult female colossal squid has been discovered in much shallower waters which likely implies that females spawn in shallower waters than their normal depth. Additionally, the colossal squid has a high possible fecundity reaching over 4.2 million oocytes which is quite unique compared to other squids in such cold waters. Colossal squid oocytes have been observed at sizes ranging from as large as 3.2x2.1 mm to as small as 1.4x0.5 mm. Sampling of colossal squid ovaries show an average of 2175 eggs per gram. Young squid are thought to spawn near the summer time at surface temperatures of .

Vision
For pelagic organisms of similar weight to the colossal squid, such as the swordfish, the average eye diameter required for visual detection is 10 cm, but colossal squid's are as large as 27 cm. The allowed increase in visual detection strategies, including reduced diffraction blurring and greater contrast distinction, must be extremely beneficial to the colossal squid to justify the large energetic expenses to grow, move, camouflage, and maintain these eyes. The colossal squid's increased pupil size has been mathematically proven to overcome the visual complications of the pelagic zone (the combination of downwelling daylight, bioluminescence, and light scattering with increasing distance), especially by monitoring larger volumes of water at once and by detecting long-range changes in plankton bioluminescence via the physical disruption of large moving objects (e.g., sperm whales).

The colossal squid's eyes glow in the dark via long rectangularly shaped light-producing photophores located next to the lens on the front of both eyeballs. Symbiotic bacteria reside within these photophores and luminesce through chemical reaction.

It is hypothesized that the colossal squid's eyes can detect predator movement beyond 120 m, which is the upper limit of the sperm whale's sonar range.

Hearing
Although squid cannot hear sound, they can detect the movement of sound waves via organs called statocysts (similar to the human cochlea). Squid statocysts likely respond to low frequency sounds less than 500 Hz, similar to pelagic fish. Colossal squid are essentially deaf to high frequencies (like whale sonar), so they rely largely on visual detection mechanisms to avoid predation.

Taxonomy and history

The colossal squid, species Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni, was discovered in 1925. This species belongs to the class Cephalopoda and family Cranchiidae.

Most of the time, full colossal squid specimens are not collected; as of 2015, only 12 complete colossal squids had ever been recorded with only half of these being full adults.
Commonly, beak remnants of the colossal squid are collected; 55 beaks of colossal squids have been recorded in total. Less commonly (four times), a fin, mantle, arm or tentacle of a colossal squid was collected.

Notable discoveries

First specimens
The species was first discovered in the form of two arm crowns found in the stomach of a sperm whale in the winter of 1924–1925. This species, then named Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni after E. Hamilton who made the initial discovery, was formally described by Guy Coburn Robson in 1925.

Entire specimens
In 1981, a Soviet Russian trawler in the Ross Sea, off the coast of Antarctica, caught a large squid with a total length of over , which was later identified as an immature female of M. hamiltoni. In 2003, a complete specimen of a subadult female was found near the surface with a total length of  and a mantle length of 2.5 m (8 feet 3 inches). In 2005, the first full living specimen was captured at a depth of  while taking a toothfish from a longline off South Georgia Island. Although the mantle was not brought aboard, its length was estimated at over 2.5 m (8 feet 3 inches), and the tentacles measured . The animal is thought to have weighed between .

Largest known specimen

The largest recorded specimen was a female, which are thought to be larger than males, captured in February 2007 by a New Zealand fishing boat in the Ross Sea off of Antarctica. The squid was close to dead when it was captured and subsequently was taken back to New Zealand for scientific study. The specimen was initially estimated to measure about 10 metres in total length and weigh about 450 kg.

Defrosting and dissection, April–May 2008
Thawing and dissection of the specimen took place at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa. AUT biologist Steve O'Shea, Tsunemi Kubodera, and AUT biologist Kat Bolstad were invited to the museum to aid in the process. Media reports suggested scientists at the museum were considering using a giant microwave to defrost the squid because thawing it at room temperature would take several days and it would likely begin to decompose on the outside while the core remained frozen. However, they later opted for the more conventional approach of thawing the specimen in a bath of salt water. After thawing, it was found that the specimen was 495 kg with a mantle length of 2.5 m and total length of only 4.2 m, probably because the tentacles shrank once the squid was dead.

Parts of the specimen have been examined:

The beak is considerably smaller than some found in the stomachs of sperm whales, suggesting other colossal squid are much larger than this one.
The eye is  wide, with a lens  across. This is the largest eye of any known animal. These measurements are of the partly collapsed specimen; alive, the eye was probably 30 to 40 cm (12 to 16 in) across.
Inspection of the specimen with an endoscope revealed ovaries containing thousands of eggs.

Exhibition

The Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa began displaying this specimen from 13 December 2008. The exhibition was closed between 2018 and 2019, but is currently open again for public viewing at Te Papa.

Second specimen
In August 2014, Te Papa received a second colossal squid, captured in early 2014. The specimen was also female, measuring  long and weighing approximately .

Conservation status
The colossal squid has been assessed as "least concern" on the IUCN Red List. Furthermore, colossal squid are not targeted by fishermen; rather, they are only caught when they attempt to feed on fish caught on hooks. Additionally, due to their habitat, interactions between humans and colossal squid are considered rare.

Key Vote NO on Any CR That Funds ObamaCare
Key Vote NO on Any Continuing Resolution that Funds ObamaCare
As one of our millions of FreedomWorks members nationwide, I urge you to contact your representative and urge him or her to vote NO on the upcoming Continuing Resolution if it contains further funding for ObamaCare. FreedomWorks will score against any Continuing Resolution that contains funding for the further implementation or enforcement of ObamaCare, and may score any procedural vote towards that end.
With the so-called Affordable Care Act set to take full effect in just a few short months, it has become perfectly clear that the law is not ready for prime time, even aside from its inherent shortcomings. Multiple states are having difficulty getting their health insurance exchanges ready to enroll customers by October 1st. Many of the nation's largest insurance companies are withholding participation in these exchanges as well, thus decreasing the competition that would supposedly keep prices down. And, of course, the administration has arbitrarily (and possibly illegally) conceded that major portions of the law cannot be enforced for at least a year, greatly increasing the likelihood of massive subsidy fraud and identity theft in the government exchanges.
These delays, aside from proving that the law is not ready, are also causing ObamaCare's enforcement to become even more flagrantly unfair. Having already granted waivers to an assortment of well-connected companies and organizations, the administration has granted big business a one-year stay on the employer mandate, while still planning to enforce the mandate that individuals must purchase insurance or face a fine.
Besides being unfair and unready, the Affordable Care Act is also unaffordable, both for many of those who are being forced to purchase insurance and for country as a whole. Many individuals in most states will see their insurance premiums increase sharply, and this is particularly true for young adults, who will bear much of the financial burden of supporting the flood of older, less healthy individuals into the insurance rolls. For conservatives in Congress who claim to be for reducing the federal government's out-of-control spending, defunding ObamaCare would also be a major step towards that goal, saving tens of billions of dollars in 2014 alone.
For all of these reasons, it is clear that ObamaCare's implementation, and its costly entitlement spending, must be halted before its disastrous debut in 2014. Congress has voted dozens of times to repeal, defund, and dismantle ObamaCare in bills that had no chance to pass, but has failed for more than three years to take a decisive stand on a must-pass bill. The Continuing Resolution provides Republicans with their best, and perhaps last, chance to do the job they were sent to Washington to do – to stop the government's takeover of health care.
I urge you to call your representative and ask him or her to vote NO on any upcoming Continuing Resolution that contains further funding for ObamaCare. We will count their vote, and potentially any procedural votes, as KEY VOTEs when calculating FreedomWorks' Economic Freedom Scorecard for 2013. The Scorecard is used to determine eligibility for the FreedomFighter Award, which recognizes Members of Congress who consistently vote to support economic freedom.

John Pastirchak
The fear of blame for a government shutdown tormenting GOP leaders is greatly exaggerated. The problem is that career politicians like House Speaker John Boehner don't get that point. Obama is arguably a brilliant political tactician, but POTUS no longer enjoys the roaring grassroots popularity he had in '08, and even 2012, despite the happy-chat claims of Obama-lackeys Chris Hollander and Dick Durbin. His popularity is in fact waning, dipping in some polls as low as the high 30-percentile range on domestic issues. So now is not the time for Republicans, vis-a-vis House Speaker Boehner, to be pulling their punches.
Forget 1995 and Newt Gingrich. Republicans then faced off against a much more formidable foe in Bill Clinton, who, like him or not, commanded more bipartisan respect in one day than Obama could claim after 5-years in office. Obama's once gold-standard political currency is now nearly bankrupt, even within the lunatic left wing fringe element.
But lame duck status alone can hardly squelch the holy grail of the Obama doctrine, to steer America toward Socialism. In fact, be warned; like a trapped fox, Obama is more dangerous than ever. The embattled second term president suffers no illusion of respect for America's 3-year majority-cry against the ACA, if he ever did. Salvaging of his namesake legislation is all that matters to him now. If enshrining his legacy in the anals of history means destroying the linchpin of our free Republic, something we call "free enterprise", he will do just that if left unchecked.
For these reasons, House Speaker John Boehner must stop his pandering and live up to the GOP's most hallowed principal, defending and preserving the core values of mainstream America. He must abandon that whimpy stand-alone bill to defund, for a continuing resolution bill that literally strips funding of ObamaCare. While as unacceptable among Democrats as a "stand-alone", a CR, even one stripped of ObamaCare funding, would force a Senate vote. More importantly, it would whet the appetite of that chamber's Democrats for negoatiating with House Republicans ahead of that vote.
The consequences for which Boehner hopes, the ACA crumbling under the weight of its own beaurocratic obesity, could indeed happen. As National Review's Bill Kristol said on FOX last week, implosion could indeed weaken ObamaCare. And that, along with the approaching '14 midterms, could serve as a one-two punch to better position next year's congress for repeal of all or parts of this trainwreck legislation. But hoping is not a strategy, and we certainly should not already be vying for a consolation prize. With little time left on the clock, pursuing defunding now is the only game plan left in our arsenal. Are you listening Mr House Speaker?!

Hi, I've bought an Xperia E5 on eBay, and the IMEI checks show the device is clean. But no sim card works and the code counter is at 0. How can I unlock the device?
You can't, you will have to contact Sony so they can reset the counter.

Q: how to aggregate if there are two conditions to be met in mongodb Hi im new to mongodb and I am confused in aggregating when there are two conditions to be met
The two conditions are:
The lowest score and the type should be homework
This is my schema design:
    "_id" : 0,
"name" : "aimee Zank",
    "scores" : [
        {
            "type" : "exam",
            "score" : 1.463179736705023
        },
        {
            "type" : "quiz",
            "score" : 11.78273309957772
        },
        {
            "type" : "homework",
            "score" : 6.676176060654615
        },
        {
            "type" : "homework",
            "score" : 35.8740349954354
        }
    ]
}

What I plan to do is to query the lowest homework score. So in my schema design above I plan to query the third element because it is the lowest score of the homework.
My mongodb query I have made right now is this:
db.students.aggregate( [
    { "$unwind": "$scores" },
    { "$match" : {"type" : "homework"}},
    {"$group": { '_id':'$_id', 'score': {'$min': "$scores.score" } } }
    ])

but all I get after doing this query is:
{ "result" : [ ], "ok" : 1 }

A: You might look at your condition in "match": you have to specify the full path.
That means you should do like this:

[{"$unwind": "$scores"},
{"$match": {"scores.type":"homework"}},
{"$group": { '_id':'$_id', 'score': {'$min': "$scores.score" } }}]
notice "scores.type"

A: i hope this help
you have to use the and operator

Moroccan food and the flavours of North Africa are amongst my favourite cuisines and a regular dinner in our house is a chicken tagine.
Morocco is a fairly diverse country with centuries old influences from the Arabs, Berbers, Moors and many other Mediterranean cultures. Herbs, spices and vegetables are an essential part of Moroccan cooking, and, when you see the women cooking it looks like fairly simple cuisine. Using local ingredients and the treasure trove of those herbs and spices that are apart of the countries culinary identity, produces the most delicious and elaborate looking dishes.
Saffron, mint, coriander, cinnamon and parsley – some of the herbs and spices that add flavour to Moroccan food. Preserved lemons, oranges, dates and olives are also essential ingredients in many dishes.
Visiting Morocco is a fantastic feast of tastes, colours and aromas. Market stalls are piled high with large bunches of herbs and fruits and move into the souks and you'll find small shops with colourful displays of jars of preserved fruits and vegetables including lemon, oranges and peppers. There's heady smells from the large conical shaped displays of brightly coloured spices – cumin, coriander, paprika and turmeric along with large bowls of olives and baskets of vegetables. These ingredients all bring vibrancy and colour to Moroccan food and many are included in this recipe for chicken tagine.
If you don't have a tagine – the traditional Moroccan conical shaped dish, it will cook perfectly well in a lidded oven shaped casserole.
I like to use chicken thighs with bone in and of course the skin on as it makes the dish more flavoursome. The recipe will also work well with fish.
I usually serve this with couscous flavoured with mint, parsley and coriander but it will be equally good with rice, potatoes or salad.
Tagines are marvellously comforting dishes and are perfect served with couscous rice or crusty bread.
Heat the oil in a large pan, add the chicken thighs and brown all over. Remove and set aside.
Add the onion, ginger and garlic and sauté for 2-3 mins. Stir in the spices, mix well and continue cooking for another minute.
Toss in the carrots, sweet potatoes, preserved lemons and honey, mix well then pour in the stock. Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer to the oven and cook for 1 hour. Add the olives and continue cooking for a further 20 minutes or until the chicken is tender and cooked.
Stir in half of the fresh herbs and sprinkle with the remainder before serving.
What type of olives and how many?
Is any use made of the scooped-out inside of the preserved lemons?
Sorry Carol, I just found your message. I've updated the recipe with the quantity of olives. I usually use around 75g. I used to add the inside of the lemon then someone told me it was better to just to use the skin. I don't like not using as I don't like food waste. The lemons I'm currently using are lemons I preserved myself so I might leave some in to see if the flavour is any different. Obviously with the amount of salt used in the preserving it might be too salty.

Back in 1979, long before Facebook or any Internet groups, Ex Jehovah's Witnesses managed to gather and put together a conference in Pennsylvania. 40 years later it's still going! Even those who've never attended have benefited from the recorded talks on YouTube given by those who shared their struggle and joy coming out of the Watchtower.
In 2017, another conference was added in Missouri for those not able to make the trip out east. And this year the west coast Witnesses Now for Jesus conference was introduced in Sacramento, California. "Life After the Watchtower, Now What?" was the appropriate title given to that conference held in April on the west coast. Now with the California conference behind us, it's time to make plans for the Witnesses Now for Jesus Midwest conference in Missouri this July.
This conference promises to provide sound Biblical teaching by noted Christian Apologists and testimonies by those affected by the cults who are now Christian. It will give comfort to those who have been oppressed and educate, edify and equip Christians to evangelize Jehovah's Witnesses more effectively.
All Are Welcome To Attend: Relatives and friends of active Jehovah's Witnesses, disillusioned Jehovah's Witnesses, pastors, Sunday school and Bible teachers, and anyone interested in sharing their faith in Jesus Christ with Jehovah's Witnesses.
There is no registration fee for the event but pre-registration is requested. Freewill offerings will be taken during the program. Meals will be served. Christian literature and resources available.
