Marijuana has been used for medicinal treatments for years back but it wasn't until Rick Simpson appeared that its revolutionary properties in the treatment against cancer were revealed. Rick Simpson, now one of the greatest activists for the legalization of hemp oil, has cured over 5000 people with his revolutionary recipe, starting with himself first. As soon as he heard about the debate on this subject in Belgrade, Serbia, he immediately decided to go there and try to explain to everyone how much it can help in the treatment of the deadliest forms of cancer.
Simpson swears by his recipe and believes that hemp or cannabis oil can cure some of the deadliest forms of cancer as well as a number of other illnesses like diabetes, arteriosclerosis, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, asthma, psoriasis, and so on. Although this oil has been used for centuries, due to the rise of the billion-dollar pharmaceutical industry, it was banned in the second half of the 20th century.
After his diagnosis in 2002 Rick underwent a couple of unsuccessful surgeries on the three pigmented lesions on his face and the doctors told him that there's nothing more they can do. They would remove the lesions only to have them reappear after a while. He didn't want to give up so he decided looking into some alternative solutions. Since he was an avid herbalist he decided to turn to the plants for a cure. He remembered reading about a study from the University of Virginia which stated that THC, the active component in cannabis was effective in the treatment of cancer. Without thinking twice he took out a vile of cannabis oil he had previously prepared, applied it on the lesions, bandaged them and waited. And that's how his story starts.
In the beginning he didn't feel anything different. He applied the oil and changed the bandages every day, waiting for a miracle.
After just 4 days the miracle came. "After four days I removed the bandages and I couldn't believe my eyes! The wound was no longer there, and my skin was regenerated! I immediately started talking to people about how I had cured skin cancer with cannabis oil… Everyone laughed at me, but then eleven and a half years have passed, and the cancer still hasn't returned," explains Rick.
Since then he has helped thousands of people, but one of his last patients comes to memory, an 80-year old man diagnosed with terminal lung cancer.
"The man was all swollen from chemotherapy, open wounds on his legs and was barely breathing! After the doctors had given him no more than 48 hours, his son brought him to me. As I had recommended cannabis oil therapy, the young man had also consulted his father's doctor. The doctor, of course, rejected such treatment, so in the end the young man took the oil from me, soaked a small cracker in it and gave it to his father," continues Rick.
In just 30 minutes the dying old man finally started breathing normally again and his breathing completely stabilized during the night.
"Although the doctors "explained" that before death, his vital functions would return briefly, his son didn't want to wait any longer so he checked his father out of the hospital the next morning. He also stopped all of his father's prescribed therapy. After six weeks of cannabis oil treatment, the old man no longer needed insulin, and after three months he was completely cured from cancer," says Rick, and adds that there isn't an age limit when it comes to cannabis oil therapy; it can even be given to babies.
Soon he started growing marijuana because he needed the raw plant in order to make enough of the oil to help people. He endured 4 police raids in just three years and as the laws in North America state those wo publicly claim to cure cancer face 5-40 years imprisonment.
He went to prison for 4 days and was tried for cultivating, owning and selling of marijuana in Canada in 2005. He was only fined 2,000 dollars. However, at one point he was liable for 12 year imprisonment.
"The worst of all was that the jurors were people whose dearest I had cured with cannabis oil. Even the judge knew it was all a farce! At one point he even told me that I should be rewarded, instead of tried! All knew, and no one could do anything! They didn't even allow ten patients I have cured to testify! They also didn't allow the doctors to come out on the bench, nor me to show a pile of medical documents about the effects of my oil. If you don't know the meaning of a "coward court," go to Canada and you will see what I mean," says Simpson in excitement adding that as opposed to Europe, North America still puts a blind eye when it comes to legalization of cannabis.
Rick claims that has never sold weed, but only hemp oil. He even put the recipe for hemp oil on the web page phoenixtears.ca because he was deeply disappointed by the Canadian government and corrupted doctors.
Simpson says that making hemp oil is easier than making coffee. He also adds that there are many fake oils sold as his. Simpson's treatment starts with several drops of hemp oil three times a day.
"The usual dose I give to cancer patients is 60 grams within 90 days. And, it is never too late for the patient to start cannabis oil therapy. There isn't such an excuse as, "It is late"… If you ask me, if I approve of smoking marijuana, I will tell you it isn't as effective as cannabis oil, but it is scientifically proven that people who smoke marijuana live six years longer than those who don't," explains Simpson. He believes that every country in the world should allow their citizens to cultivate and use cannabis for medical purposes. He also thinks that pharmacies should be opened for those who can't cultivate it.
"Little is known that cannabis has been used as one of the most healing remedies hundreds of years before Christ. In the ancient Persian religious scripts, which among other things describe the most healing herbs, cannabis takes the first place," concludes Rick. He says that his greatest reward would be to see a world without cancer.

Proof of how good an idea the Asus Transfomer concept is can be seen in the veritable stampede of Windows 8 tablets currently thundering over them thar hills which can also be slotted into a keyboard docking station.
Lenovo's upcoming IdeaTab Lynx is a rather neat looking affair, packing a 11.6 inch 1366 x 768 pixel 5-point capacitive multi touch display backed by an Intel Atom Z2760 Clover Trail processor.

Inside the IdeaTab Lynx can be found 2GB of RAM, 32GB to 64GB of storage and a 6800mAh battery offering 8 hours of run time, with the optional keyboard doubling that time.
The tablet comes with a 2MP front-facing camera, microUSB port, microSD card slot, micro HDMI port, 802.11n WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0, a, dual stereo speakers, and dual microphones.
Measuring up at 11.9″ x 7.4″ x 0.4," the Lynx weighs in at around 1.4 pounds, beefing up to 2.9 pounds when the keyboard is attached.
The Lynx will go on sale in December for $599, with the docking station costing another $150 on top.

I was on Clover for quite some time, but had since forgotten it existed until I started to compile this list. It strikes me as a less-successful hybrid of OkCupid and Tinder with a relatively small user base, even though I live in an urban area with plenty of people who use a wide variety of dating apps. Clover says it has nearly 6 million users, 85 percent of whom are between the ages of 18 and 30.
I was also disappointed in the notifications, which I found too pushy. CMB was constantly "gently" reminding me to message users I'd matched with. I eventually disabled the app after receiving the following notification: "Show [match name] who's boss and break the ice today!" Should a potential future relationship be rooted in a hierarchical power dynamic? At the end of the day, I have friends who've had good matches on CMB, but it isn't my favorite app.
Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter, In there stepped a stately raven of the saintly days of yore; Not the least obeisance made he; not an instant stopped or stayed he; But, with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door -- Perched upon a bust of Pallas just above my chamber door -- Perched, and sat, and nothing more.
Tinder is essentially the modern dating app. You've probably heard of this one already. Every time you load up the app, it shows you some profiles. You swipe one way if you like them, or swipe the other way if you don't. If a match is made, you can converse in a private chat to arrange a meet up. This app can be used for doing anything from finding friends to one night stands and everything between. It has bugs, some spam accounts, and some other issues. However, it's a good place to get started in the dating apps scene. In addition, the popularity helps ensure that people in most areas get profiles to look at that are also real people, and popularity actually does matter with dating apps.
Features for introverts: Since AFF has millions upon millions of users from around the world, there's always a large group of people constantly using it 24 hours a day. No matter your kinks or sexual orientation and no matter the time of day or night, there's someone on the dating site waiting for you to share your preferences, sexual desires, and maybe hook-up with you too. It's like if New York City and Las Vegas had a baby. Adult Friend Finder is the dating site that never sleeps and whatever happens on the site, stays on the site.
Flirt.com does not take the same precautions as other sites to prevent scamming and catfishing, although they do ban members who are reported for inappropriate or abusive behavior. It is possible, however, for members to earn a Trusted status by confirming their identity with a Flirt representative, which is a good way to filter authentic profiles from fraudulent ones. For more information, check out Flirt.com's privacy policies.
Bumble also checks the boxes for usability, a slick user interface, and easy setup. In addition, the relatively ballsy move of designing a dating app specifically with women in mind pays off. It's the only app that clearly states plainly and prominently that it prohibits pornographic material, requires its users to respect one another, and has a code of conduct in place specifically to make it a safe and friendly place. We only found one other dating app that had a code of conduct — and it was hidden within the Terms of Use, which no one reads. The 24-hour time limit to connect with someone adds just enough pressure to say "hello," so matches don't languish and get reshuffled into the deck. And if you accidentally nixed someone? Just shake your phone to undo your rogue swipe.
If you're in the market for a hookup that satisfies a particular fetish, look no further than the FetL app, a dating app that connects local singles with shared fetish interests. This app packs all of the GPS features of Grindr (read: you can find out if there's anyone who's into the same fetish as you at the bar you're at), with the ease of Tinder's swipe left/right functionality to make finding a fetish hookup easier than it's ever been before. "When I'd meet people in clubs, they almost always told me that they found it difficult to meet people who shared their fetishes," Iris Li, one of the co-founders of FetL explains. She created FetL to help fill the gap, and users have been getting their needs met ever since.
You can even say we're living through a worldwide Introvert Revolution. Just look at the success of self-proclaimed introvert Susan Cain's wildly popular book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking. Her book has sold millions of copies worldwide, a TEDtalk she gave on the topic has been viewed over 19,294,447 times and counting, and she reportedly gets paid five-figures for a single appearance.
They say a conversation opener is a a question or topic that creates a dialogue between two or more people. These 'starters' are some of the most elusive and hard to think of, and without them one is left with awkward silence. A lack of starters is common at the beginning of a relationship, when speaking to someone not entirely familiar to the speaker, or when conversing with any female.
Tinder has been nothing less than a cultural phenomenon, adding "swiping" to our dating lexicon. The casual dating app is incredibly straightforward and easy to use. In fact, it's so simple that, at least for the standard free version, there are really only a few things you can do on it, including updating your profile, swiping left (to pass) or right (to like), and chatting with matches.

"Communicating in another language, especially in a foreign country, can be difficult for many," said Charlie Hughes, Vice President of YouPorn in a press release. "From understanding the proper use of nouns to establishing consent, misreading signs and saying a phrase that may come off as offensive are all problems men and women face. Through the step-by-step lessons, Sexy Lingo eliminates the language barrier and will give men and women an equal opportunity to level the playing field amongst native speakers."
The Match interface is also pretty sleek and minimalist, but it's not as easy to use as, say, Tinder. It utilizes a set of tabs that run along the top of the display — i.e. "matches," "search," "viewed me," and "mixer" — which break up the service's various functions. It's not an overly complicated app, but it does take a few minutes to get used to.
Flirtalike is awesome so you can forget speed dating, classified personals, dating apps, dating sites, or chat rooms! If you have tried services like PlentyOfFish (POF), OKCupid, eHarmony, MiuMeet, Mocospace, Skout, Jazzed, Tagged, Likealittle, myYearbook, Zoosk, Hi5 or Badoo - you might want to try flirtalike - once you're in, you'll never want to leave again.
Of all the dating sites and apps out there, OKCupid has become one that singles flock to for their first online dating trial run. People also tend to return throughout their online dating journey unless they've settled down for good. The site hasn't changed much in years, but rather banks on what it does have to offer singles, which seems to continually attract and re-attract members. The site features an easy-to-navigate interface, insightful but not obnoxiously long profiles, and a handful of question you can answer to help the site match you better and find you a meaningful relationship.
For years, Match has been an industry leader in online dating, and it's no secret why. The company offers the right balance of features and members to keep making love connections happen. Although it's easy to assume Match is only for serious daters, it's actually an online dating site for anyone looking for anything from marriage to one-night stands. The site has a continually evolving matching algorithm that helps you find those you are interested in, even if you're a little unsure of who exactly that is.
Sexy Lingo offers language lessons to help those of any gender flirt with someone else of any gender in a different language, because the world is complex and diverse. The four lesson categories are 'The Basics', 'Starting a Conversation', 'Flirting' and 'Closing the Deal'. While that last one might elicit a bit of a cringe, it still remains that dating or even hooking up is generally a zero sum game and still uses terminology that might not fit with all modern sensibilities.
Tinder is great app for hookups mainly due to the sheer number of users that are on it (a respectable 57 million as of 2019). Finding a willing hookup buddy in your area is undoubtedly a numbers game, and while not everyone on this app is on it for a casual fling, the odds are high that you'll be able to connect with users that are looking for something casual tonight. Not to mention, it's beyond easy to use. Create a profile with some photos, choose an age and location range for the person you're looking for, and start swiping (left to reject, right to accept). If you both dig each other, you'll be able to send messages to get things started.

27 EU countriesWhen European countries started to cooperate economically in 1951, only Belgium, Germany, France, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands participated. Over time, more and more countries decided to join. The Union currently counts 27 EU countries. The United Kingdom withdrew from the European Union on 31 January 2020.
As a global actor, the EU is both a weak and strong actor in a divergent range of global governance areas. It is not comparable to study the EU as a global trade actor for example to its efforts in human rights, data, cyber or the environment.

The most powerful institution is the Council. The Commission has few powers of coercion, although its neutral role and the depth of specialised knowledge it has acquired over the years give it plenty of scope for persuasion. The Commission is much less powerful than the Council.
Three territories of EU member states have withdrawn: French Algeria (in 1962, upon independence), Greenland (in 1985, following a referendum) and Saint Barthélemy (in 2012), the latter two becoming Overseas Countries and Territories of the European Union.
The "Four Freedoms"Free movement of goods.Free movement of capital.Freedom to establish and provide services.Free movement of persons.
The European Council sets the EU's overall political direction – but has no powers to pass laws. Led by its President – currently Charles Michel – and comprising national heads of state or government and the President of the Commission, it meets for a few days at a time at least twice every 6 months.
27 member statesThe European Union (EU) is a political and economic union of certain European states. There are currently 27 member states of the EU.
The European Union's fundamental values are respect for human dignity and human rights, freedom, democracy, equality and the rule of law. These values unite all the member states – no country that does not recognise these values can belong to the Union.
All 28 countries in the European Union (EU) are part of the single market. But some other countries also have arrangement with the EU, which means they benefit from it. Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein are part of an agreement called the European Economic Area (EEA), alongside the 28 EU members.
These are the five big things the EU has set out to do.Promote economic and social progress. … Speak for the European Union on the international scene. … Introduce European citizenship. … Develop Europe as an area of freedom, security and justice. … Maintain and build on established EU law.
The European Union plays important roles in diplomacy, the promotion of human rights, trade, development and humanitarian aid and working with multilateral organisations. The role of the EEAS is to try and bring coherence and coordinating to the European Union's international role.
Norway has high GNP per capita, and would have to pay a high membership fee. The country has a limited amount of agriculture, and few underdeveloped areas, which means that Norway would receive little economic support from the EU.
The Digital Single Market strategy seeks to ensure better access for consumers and business to online goods and services across Europe, for example by removing barriers to cross-border e-commerce and access to online content while increasing consumer protection.
Switzerland signed a free-trade agreement with the then European Economic Community in 1972, which entered into force in 1973. … However, after a Swiss referendum held on 6 December 1992 rejected EEA membership by 50.3% to 49.7%, the Swiss government decided to suspend negotiations for EU membership until further notice.

In 2014, the University of Birmingham (United Kingdom) studied how germ types and levels in cars compared to those in people's homes. While they found plenty of germs in people's vehicles, it was in car seats that the results really stood out. Researchers found that, on average, every square centimeter of a car seat contained at least 100 bacteria and fungi—twice as many as on a toilet seat.
Naturally, this report was widely circulated in the media that year, and people were understandably grossed out. It is certainly a reminder for CPSTs to stock their tool kit with hand sanitizer and use it routinely while working in cars.
With approximately 10 million CRs sold in the U.S. each year, it stands to reason that this many will also expire or become otherwise unusable—and these typically make their way to our nation's growing landfills. Two nonprofit organizations from Washington state, CoolMom and Zero Waste Washington, have jointly issued a 69-page report that examines the challenges and opportunities of a better approach: recycling unusable CRs. "Diverting Car Seats from the Waste Stream: An Investigation into the Reuse and Recycling of Children's Car Seats" takes an in-depth look at the higher-level issues of this topic, like CR manufacturer involvement, emerging materials, funding models, and the various ways that CRs can be processed for recycling. In addition, a series of appendices includes impressive tables that list current collection programs across the country, sorted by type, ownership model, and state.
Experts agree that the key to the proper disposal of an unsafe CR is to make it unusable, but the definition of unusable and the method of destruction has been left to individual discretion. Owner's manuals may say to destroy an unsafe CR, but don't say how to do so. The standardized CPS certification curriculum provides no detailed clarification on this subject.

Dissolution and Liquidation of a Company in Luxembourg
Company Dissolution and Liquidation in Luxembourg
Updated on Tuesday 07th May 2019
Although Luxembourg is an attractive country for foreign investments, company dissolution and liquidation in Luxembourg can sometimes be necessary when the company proves to be inefficient. The cessation of activity happens in two stages: first the decision to dissolute the company and then the liquidation phase.
Our lawyers in Luxembourg can assist and guide you through the company dissolution and liquidation procedures in Luxembourg.
What types of entities can be liquidated in Luxembourg?
The following types of structures can be dissolved or liquidated in Luxembourg:
- public companies if they have lost at half or three-quarters of the share capital;
- private companies if they have lost half of the share capital or if the maximum of number 40 members has been exceeded;
- general partnerships if one of the members has died, has gone bankrupt or simply left the company;
- limited partnerships if one of the members has left the business, died or gone bankrupt.
The compulsory liquidation can begin once one or more creditors file a petition with a Luxembourg court as a consequence of the company not being able to pay its debts.
Types of company dissolution and liquidation in Luxembourg
The voluntary dissolution of a legal entity in Luxembourg is decided through an extraordinary general meeting. It is a common decision to end any business activities. This can occur if the business purpose is considered terminates, if the business has a fixed term of operation, because of unsatisfactory business results or as a consequence of the company not observing its mandatory legal provisions.
After the dissolution has been agreed upon, the liquidation phase begins. After its dissolution has been pronounced, the company will exist solely for the purpose of liquidation: to satisfy any existing claims from creditors and pay all outstanding debts. A liquidator is appointed during the general meeting. If no one from outside is appointed, the director of the company or a member of the management board can act as liquidator.
Compulsory liquidation occurs when the dissolution of the company is imposed by a court decision. This court decision can be made on behalf of one or more partners/shareholders or upon request from a public prosecutor if the company has breached the law.
Voluntary company dissolution in Luxembourg
As mentioned earlier, one of the ways to terminate a Luxembourg company is by voluntary dissolution which remains at the discretion of the business owners. The reasons for terminating a business can be several and can imply the end of the company's activities, the sale of its assets or the impossibility of continuing the business. No matter the reason, once the Luxembourg company is dissolved, it must then be liquidated.
Voluntary company dissolution in Luxembourg is made up of a few separate stages which imply:
- the initiation of the dissolution procedure during the shareholders' general meeting;
- the preparation of all the company's financial accounts for the liquidation procedure;
- the appointment of the liquidator, who is usually chosen from one of the officers in the company;
- filing a notification about the liquidation with the Trade Register and the tax office in Luxembourg.
Important aspects which need to be considered upon voluntary liquidation in Luxembourg is that the extraordinary meeting during which the cessation of the company is decided must be held in the presence of a public notary.
As a consequence of the voluntary company liquidation procedure:
- the management of the company will no longer undertake any activity;
- the liquidator will complete any other activity left unattended and will complete the liquidation procedure;
- all the documents issued by the company during this period will indicate that the business is in liquidation.
With respect to the liquidator, this can be a natural person or a corporate body, considering the decision to appoint the liquidator depends on the Luxembourg company's shareholders. Apart from handling the procedure of terminating the business, a liquidator will play other roles in the company among which one of the most important one is to act a company legal representative. The liquidator will also make sure that creditors are paid, followed by the remaining assets or amounts of money (if any) to be secured in a bank account with the purpose of distributing them among the shareholders.
Our attorneys in Luxembourg are up to date with the latest regulations on company liquidation and can advise clients on how to terminate a business.
Audit requirements in voluntary company liquidation in Luxembourg
One of the important requirements to respect when it comes to voluntarily liquidating a company in Luxembourg is to appoint an auditor who will verify the liquidator's report, the financial documents to be used in liquidation and who will prepare the report to be presented to the shareholders.
The auditor to be appointed during the liquidation procedure must be independent, according to the Company Law in Luxembourg.
Our law firm in Luxembourg can assist business owner in various matters related to voluntary company liquidation procedures.
During the last shareholders' meeting, a set of documents must be prepared and approved by the company's shareholders. These documents are:
- the auditor's report;
- the report on the distribution of the remaining assets;
- information about where the company's documents and books will be kept;
- the decision on the transfer of assets remaining undistributed;
- the declaration through which the liquidator will comply with the post-closing provisions of the operations of the company;
- the report on closing the liquidation procedure.
After this meeting, the dissolution of the company will be published with the Trade Register.
Our Luxembourg lawyers can offer more information on the documents which need to be prepared in case of voluntary company liquidation.
Compulsory company liquidation in Luxembourg
When it comes to the compulsory liquidation of a Luxembourg company, the procedure resembles the voluntary one, however, the decision on terminating the business will be ruled by a judge in the court of law. Also, an extract of the judgment must be published in local newspaper and in the electronic database of the companies and associations kept by the Companies Register in Luxembourg.
The name of the company must also be amended with the words "in compulsory or judicial liquidation".
When it comes to the costs associated to the liquidation of a company, the winding up fees and the costs of the liquidation must be supported by the company.
The liquidation procedure will be followed by the removal of the company from the database administered by the Luxembourg Companies Registrar.
Our Luxembourg law firm can offer more information on the compulsory liquidation of a firm in the Grand Duchy.
You can also watch the video below for information on how to liquidate a company in Luxembourg:
Documents needed in a company dissolution process in Luxembourg
The following list of documents must be prepared when dissolving/liquidating a company in Luxembourg:
a power of attorney granted by the shareholders to the liquidator appointed to complete the process;
the latest balance sheet indicating the financial status of the company - issued by the tax administration office;
negative certificates for companies which are not registered for VAT are required;
certificates indicating the company is registered for taxation purposes are also required;
information about the immovable properties of the company must be obtained from the Luxembourg Land Register;
information indicating the company has paid its social security, pension, and insurance premium up to the point of the company liquidation decision.
Our Luxembourg lawyers can assist company representatives in preparing the documents needed in company liquidation.
The liquidation process and the liquidator's duties
The appointed liquidator must draw up an inventory of the company's asses and draw up a balance sheet in order to determine the assets and liabilities of that legal entity. Afterward, the liquidator will proceed to recover the dissolved company's assets. Once recovered, the assets will be sold in order to pay the company's debts. Only after all the debts are settled can the remaining assets or amounts (if any) be distributed among the company's shareholders.
The distribution of the assets is performed according to the amounts owed to each creditor. The assets must be distributed to all creditors in a fair manner.

A boy and a Radio Flyer wagon can have all kinds of adventures together--especially when the wagon's full of wonderful things! This wagon is loaded with wildlife, starting with a sweet plush lion that loves to ride along! Also included are adorable wrist rattles with animal faces. A beautiful, large satin lined bl blanket that is personalizable is the perfect addition to this special set. Also included are a patterened one piece sleep and play and little boy baby booties.
What a wonderful and convenient gift! It was as shown in the picture on the site. I have ordered this item 4 times and plan to order it again.
Impressive basket and contents... They were really happy and really enjoyed the quality. Will do business again!
Good selection. Service and delivery are always wonderful!!!! Great job every time!!!!!!
Sister loved everything. From the blanket to wagon. Order went smooth and delivered great. Was affordable and easy to order.
Timely delivery, perfect! My sister said that it was wonderful. Great shopping experience! Presentation looked good and it was good value.
Exceeded expectations. Great value and great quality. I'm very pleased and will definitely order from here again!
Very nice gift for any baby boy. If it was a bit cheaper I would order it every time when someone of my friends, relatives or co-laborers invite me for their babies' holidays.
This gift is quite good for the price. Quality of the items is perfect and I really like how nice they are put together. I think it's a very convenient possibility to congratulate newly-made parents for having a boy. You don't need to spend time visiting shops and choosing separate appropriate items to make a good present. It has everything in one cute basket and makes recipients happy. The only downside I can mention is its size. It's not actually a downside but there are people who think that gift should be bigger to impress a recipient. I say this because my wife was disappointed with the size of this basket when it arrived, she wanted to buy something more to satisfy the family for whom we ordered this. I convinced her that the quality and appearance are more important features of the worthy gift but you should keep in mind that there are different opinions about this matter.
Sent this to my new nephew and killed two birds with one stone because this gift set includes items appropriate both for the newborn and for his 2 y.o. big brother. Children and their parents were happy.
I ordered this for sending to my cousin to congratulate him for his first son. When the parcel was successfully delivered he sent me a picture of him with the baby and the gift basket – both of these guys look happy and proud so I'm totally satisfied with my choice.
Awesome gift! When I ordered this I hoped that it is good but didn't know that it is SO good. Parents were happy and their 1 y.o. son loved it too.
I gave it to my neighbors to congratulate them with their newborn son. It was perfectly appropriate for this case and parents very so happy with it. They said it was a great gift and I'm pleased with making a good choice. The present actually looked very cute.

Expedition 16 was the 16th expedition to the International Space Station (ISS).
The first two crew members, Yuri Malenchenko and Peggy Whitson, launched on 10 October 2007, aboard Soyuz TMA-11, and were joined by spaceflight participant Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor, the first Malaysian in space.

Expedition 15 Flight Engineer Clayton Anderson did not land with the Soyuz TMA-10, so he was considered part of Expedition 16 for the few weeks prior to the arrival of STS-120. STS-120 launched on 23 October, docked on 25 October, and replaced Anderson with new Flight Engineer Daniel Tani. Following docking, the Soyuz seat liners for Anderson and Tani were swapped, and Anderson became part of the STS-120 crew.  Léopold Eyharts, who came aboard during STS-122, joined the mission on 9 February 2008, replacing Tani. The crew was then joined by Garrett Reisman, who was launched aboard Endeavour with STS-123, on 11 March 2008, replacing Eyharts. Reisman joined Expedition 16 in progress, and was a part of Expedition 17 as well. Upon reentry, the astronaut's Soyuz TMA-11 spacecraft suffered a minor malfunction, causing the craft to follow a very steep ballistic descent. As a result, the crew experienced forces up to 10 G, ending up about 260 miles (418 km) west of the targeted landing site. Roscosmos reported all three crew members were doing just fine and in good health.

Crew

Backup crew
 Michael Fincke Commander - NASA (for Whitson)
 Salizhan Sharipov Flight Engineer 1 -  RSA (for Malenchenko)
 Greg Chamitoff Flight Engineer 2 -  NASA (for Anderson)
 Sandra Magnus Flight Engineer 2 -  NASA (for Tani)
 Frank De Winne Flight Engineer 2 -  ESA (for Eyharts)
 Timothy Kopra Flight Engineer 2 - NASA (for Reisman)

Mission details

Docked: 12 October 2007 14:50 UTC
Undocked: 19 April 2008 6:06 UTC
Time docked: 192 days

Expedition 16 was the first ISS mission to include two crew members who had served on a previous expedition, and the first time a former commander (Malenchenko) returned as a flight engineer. Whitson was the first female commander of an ISS expedition, and with STS-120 commanded by female astronaut Pamela Melroy, it marked the first time that two female mission commanders were in orbit simultaneously. On her first expedition, Whitson implemented a "Friday night movie night" to help the crew wind down at the end of the week, and plans to keep the custom of adding some levity to the station going for Expedition 16. Anderson incorporated some entertainment into the daily planning conference with the ground, quizzing the ground team on a wide variety of subjects, and Michael Lopez-Alegria did a similar activity with movie and music trivia.

STS-120
The first major objective of the increment was accomplished successfully on 26 October, when the crew of STS-120 delivered the Harmony module, and attached it to a temporary location on the Unity module. The new addition added over  to the station's living volume. The joint crews also moved the P6 truss, and relocated it from its position on top of the station, to its final port-side position, during the third of four spacewalks.

Configuration of Harmony

Following the departure of STS-120, a series of Extra-vehicular activity (EVA) and robotic activities were carried out to move the Pressurized Mating Adapter (PMA-2) from the end of the Destiny laboratory, to the end of Harmony. Whitson and Malenchenko carried out the increment's first EVA on 9 November, that prepared the docking port for relocation. On 12 November, Whitson and Tani used the station's Mobile Servicing System (robotic arm) to detach the docking port, and relocated it to the forward port of Harmony. On 14 November, the Tani and Whitson again used the robotic arm and moved Harmony from its temporary location, to its permanent location on the forward port of Destiny.

On 20 November, Whitson and Tani completed the second EVA for the increment, a 7-hour, 16-minute spacewalk to outfit the Harmony node in its new position. All tasks were accomplished, and three get-ahead tasks were performed.
On 24 November, Whitson and Tani completed the third EVA for the increment, a 7-hour, 4-minute spacewalk to complete the outfitting of Harmony. All task were accomplished, and photographic inspection of the starboard Solar Alpha Rotary Joint (SARJ) was performed, as well as some ISS maintenance get-ahead tasks.

EVA milestone
On 18 December 2007, during the fourth spacewalk of Expedition 16 to inspect the S4 starboard Solar Alpha Rotary Joint (SARJ), the ground team in Mission Control informed Whitson that she had become the female astronaut with the most cumulative EVA time in NASA history, as well as the most EVAs, with her fifth EVA. Three hours and 37 minutes into the spacewalk, Whitson surpassed NASA astronaut Sunita Williams with a total time at that point of 29 hours and 18 minutes. At the completion of Whitson's fifth EVA, the 100th in support of ISS assembly and maintenance, Whitson's cumulative EVA time became 32 hours, and 36 minutes, which placed her in 20th place for total EVA time.

STS-122
STS-122 delivered Columbus and replaced Dan Tani with Léopold Eyharts.

STS-123
STS-123 delivered the first element of Kibō and replaced Léopold Eyharts with Garrett Reisman.

ATV Jules-Verne
Expedition 16 also saw the arrival of the first Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) to the station, named Jules Verne after the science fiction author.

Soyuz TMA-12
Expedition 16 also saw the arrival of the first Korean astronaut, Yi So-yeon.

Geoffrey Rush Plays Albert Einstein for Ron Howard in 'Genius' Trailer
Charles Bramesco Published: January 8, 2017
It was only a matter of time. The long string of biographical depictions of troubled geniuses, an ignominious tradition more recently carried on by the likes of The Imitation Game and The Theory of Everything, had to inevitably yield an Albert Einstein biopic. But who'd have guessed it'd land on TV, and that producers Ron Howard and Brian Grazer would go with the very first title that came to mind? Genius will mark the first scripted series to play on National Geographic, and they're coming out with guns blazing; Academy Award winner Geoffrey Rush will play the originator of the relativity theory, a notoriously eccentric and complicated figure, with populist director Howard helming the pilot episode. Entertainment Weekly has the new trailer, and it looks like it's going to tick all the prestige boxes.
In the series, Einstein goes through trial after trial over the course of his life before he won his precious Nobel Prize for his achievements in physics: dropping out of the school that always bored him, coining forward-thinking theories his peers were too dim to grasp, having to deal with those pesky Nazis. Einstein's was not an easy life, but he took solace in his wife Elsa (played on the show by Emily Watson) and friend Michele Besso (Fringe's Seth Gabel). In the flashback scenes, the young Einstein will be played by Johnny Flynn of Clouds of Sils Maria and Lovesick.
Both as theoretical physics boundary-buster and tongue-wagging model for dorm-room posters, Einstein left an indelible mark on our modern world. And chances are, that much will be made clear via a series of title cards that run at the end of the season, before the anthology series switches focus to a new brilliant mind in its second season. Genius comes to National Geographic in April.

OSCE Avoids the Hard Issues at Year-End Conference
By: Vladimir Socor
December 4, 2008 06:49 PM Age: 14 years
In common with all OSCE chairmanships since 2003 (when Russian veto power mauled the organization irreparably during the Dutch chairmanship), Finland set itself a minimal task in 2008: to ensure institutional survival by deferring to Russia in Europe's East and hosting a "successful" year-end conference, before passing the baton to the next chairmanship. Russia's invasion of Georgia has, however, disrupted this minimalist strategy.
The measure of year-end "success" since 2003 has become the adoption of a final political declaration by consensus, almost as a goal in itself. This goal has, however, eluded the last five chairmanships. Their draft documents either did not concede enough on security issues to earn Russian acceptance or conceded too much to be acceptable to other participant countries.
The Finnish chairmanship has apparently tried to circumvent this dilemma by drafting the blandest possible final political declaration (OSCE Chairmanship, "Renewing the Spirit of Helsinki," draft ministerial declaration, December 3).
Unlike the drafts in past years, which at least attempted to identify problems and solutions (only to shatter against Russian vetoes), this year's draft of the final political declaration steers clear of security issues in Europe's East, attempting even to close its eyes to the most pressing issues. It proclaims at the outset that the "Helsinki Final Act [of 1975] remains the foundation of our work" and touts the host city as the "birthplace of the Helsinki process," anticipating the Russian-desired summit on "pan-European security" to be held there soon.
From this (and subsequent) wording no one would guess that Russia had dismembered Georgia only three months ago in violation of the Helsinki Final Act's core principle: no changes of borders through the use of force and without the consent of all parties involved. Regarding this and other unresolved post-Soviet conflicts, the document calls for "negotiated settlement[s] in accordance with OSCE principles," but fails to name them. Other countries are attempting at the last moment to introduce references to the principle of territorial integrity and sovereignty within internationally recognized borders, which is also a core tenet of the Helsinki Final Act and subsequent "process."
Russia, however, claimed prior to this conference that it did "respect Georgia's territorial integrity minus Abkhazia and South Ossetia," as President Dmitry Medvedev declared in his joint news conference with French President Nicolas Sarkozy in Nice during the recent European Union-Russia summit (Interfax, November 14, 15). By the same token, Russia's military and political control in Transnistria amounts to a forcible partition of Moldova, but the draft declaration avoids the problem, merely "encourag[ing] the parties to seek a peaceful resolution." Under such circumstances, professing adherence to the Helsinki Final Act and "process" becomes meaningless without at the same time addressing the continuing breaches in Europe's East.
The OSCE has been entrusted with a role in the South Ossetia conflict for nearly 15 years (while the United Nations handled the Abkhazia conflict in the informal division of labor among international organizations). Since the August invasion, however, Russia has blocked the OSCE's access to South Ossetia. The year-end draft declaration would, if accepted by Moscow, "support a continued role for the OSCE in monitoring the ceasefire and working to restore confidence" as well as "strengthen the OSCE field presence throughout the affected areas." The latter clause alludes to the goal of opening access for OSCE monitors there. Moscow, however, bars that access, hoping to force the OSCE to negotiate an agreement with the South Ossetian authorities for monitoring the area. Such an agreement could amount to indirect recognition of the secession.
Moscow is confronting the OSCE and UN with parallel dilemmas. Russia proposes an OSCE mission in South Ossetia and a UN mission in Abkhazia, each to be split from the two missions that have operated in Georgia thus far. Russia wants the two new missions to be mandated internationally and operate separately in the two territories, by agreement with the authorities there. These proposals are designed to confer international legitimacy on the territorial partition. The OSCE's year-end conference does not seem to deal with this problem.
The organization's chairman-in-office, Finnish Minister of Foreign Affairs Alexander Stubb, plans to travel to Moscow after the Helsinki conference for another attempt at reopening OSCE access to South Ossetia. The Russians will almost certainly seek to limit that access to a symbolic minimum (as was the case prior to the August war) and stall for time until their troops clean up at least the most conspicuous traces of the eviction of Georgians from their villages.
In previous year-end conferences the OSCE had attempted (however feebly and unsuccessfully) to remind Russia of its commitments to withdraw military forces from Moldova and Georgia, in accordance with the Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) treaty package. The OSCE is custodian of that treaty, which also sets quantitative ceilings on Russian forces in the "flank" areas. This year's draft final document, however, is so vague as to lose its meaning: "We call on all state-parties to the CFE Treaty to implement their obligations and create conditions enabling all parties to ratify the adapted CFE Treaty and restore the viability of the [treaty] regime." Russia's unilateral suspension of its compliance with the treaty goes unmentioned.
Yet the "spirit of Helsinki" and attendant "process" are invoked as a basis for even grander security agreements with Russia. The final document would "take note of the recent initiatives of Presidents Sarkozy and Medvedev regarding the strengthening of security from Vancouver to Vladivostok. We consider the OSCE a natural forum to engage in exploratory talks. We are ready to consider the possibility of convening an OSCE summit in the near future."
Moscow had insisted on such an endorsement in the final document (Permanent Council documents, November 17). The proposed conference and security agreements to come out of it would place the NATO, the European Union, and the United States on an equal footing with Russia and its Collective Security Treaty Organization, in a system intended to interfere with the existing, Western-led security arrangements.

This page provides practical information for anyone interested in joining the rebellion in the UK.
You can Help The Rebels by sparing at little bit of time to come to the sites and bringing supplies to help keep them there.
In London, we will be blocking 5 iconic locations – Marble Arch, Oxford Circus, Waterloo Bridge, Parliament Square and Piccadilly Circus (XR Youth).
We will block and hold four sites. To take the sites smoothly and effectively we need your help. We have allocated each site to regions of the UK.
Affinity Groups and anyone willing to be involved with initial road blocking needs to be nearby the site for 9am. Everyone else, please join us from 11am.
Join a broadcast-only Whatsapp group for this site to receive updates and info during the rebellion: This is an Emergency 1 // This is An Emergency 2 // This is an Emergency 3 // This is an Emergency 4 // This is an Emergency 5.
Extinction Rebellion's 1st demand is that the "Government must tell the truth by declaring a climate and ecological emergency, working with other institutions to communicate the urgency for change". With the BBC HQ just up the road and in the epicentre of our planet-damaging consumerism, we will tell the truth about the severity of the climate and ecological emergency, as the Government and media are failing to. Through dancing to DJs, discussions, circus and art, we will create a sea in the centre of the junction of Oxford Street and Regent Street as we rise like the oceans.
Join a broadcast-only Whatsapp group for this site to receive updates and info during the rebellion: Tell the Truth 1 // Tell the Truth 2 // Tell the Truth 3 // Tell the Truth 4 // Tell the Truth 5.
Extinction Rebellion's 2nd demand is that "Government must act now to halt biodiversity loss and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2025". Extinction Rebellion invites people, families and children to help us block and co-create a garden bridge on Waterloo Bridge – bring plants, shrubs and picnics to share. Let's create the world we need to survive and thrive in. The bridge will remain open to cyclists.
Join a broadcast-only Whatsapp group for this site to receive updates and info during the rebellion: Act Now 1 // Act Now 2 // Act Now 3 // Act Now 4 // Act Now 5.
Demand 3 says that "Government must create and be led by the decisions of a Citizens' Assembly on climate and ecological justice". The Government must move beyond party politics on the climate and ecological emergency. We invite people and politicians to experience real democracy, to take part in people's assemblies to model the direct, deliberative democracies we need.
Join a broadcast-only Whatsapp group for this site to receive updates and info during the rebellion: Beyond Politics 1 // Beyond Politics 2 // Beyond Politics 3 // Beyond Politics 4 // Beyond Politics 5.
Extinction Rebellion Youth will gather at 11am Hyde Park Corner and make their way towards Piccadilly Circus, which is geographically at the heart of our rebellion, and which will become a key meeting point during the rebellion – forming the hourglass 'X' of the Extinction Symbol.
Join a broadcast-only Whatsapp group for this site to receive updates and info during the rebellion: The Heart 1 // The Heart 2 // The Heart 3 // The Heart 4 // The Heart 5.
6pm Marble Arch: our first night – rebellious performance and music begins.
If the Government has not responded, we will shut down the city across four sites.
Open Rebellion For As Long As It Takes- If there is still no response, we will begin to block roads outwards from the sites and continue to stage and escalate our creative nonviolent civil disobedience.
Check out this list of Creative Actions taking place during Rebellion, to see what's going on at various sites. Schedules for the stages won't be published as they are likely to change, but there will be a massive variety of music, acts and inspiring speakers.
Are you an artist, musician, poet, performer? Do you run workshops?
The rebellion will be a beautiful space for co-creation and creative action, this is our rebellion, and it's made by all that we all bring to it.
This will only be made possible through the power of our collective action.
Civil disobedience works when it's peaceful, respectful, disruptive and undertaken en masse. We don't want to disrupt people, but our Government's failure over the last 30 years leaves us no choice. If we had functioning democracies we wouldn't need to. We've tried petitions, marches, letters, reports, papers, meetings, even direct actions; and emissions have continued to rise. Governments prioritise the short term interests of the economic elites, so to get their attention, we have to disrupt the economy. They have left us with no other option.
This movement welcomes and supports the involvement of people of all ages, ethnicities, capacities, and backgrounds with recognition that the least privileged are the hardest hit by the environmental crisis. We acknowledge that ethnic minorities and those with mental health conditions and physical disabilities in particular receive harsher treatment from police, and support everyone's individual decision as to their level of involvement in direct civil disobedience actions.
By joining together in the road – standing, singing, doing workshops – we will be taking nonviolent civil disobedience and risking arrest. If the police move to make arrests, those who are prepared to get arrested can stay sitting and await arrest, while those who are not willing to get arrested can move off the roads. Moving off the road will reduce your risk of getting arrested.
Everyone is welcome in the Rebellion and you are always free to decide on your level of involvement in the street performances or roadblocks.
Before you attend the International Rebellion, please read this legal preparation briefing and take a look at our legal FAQs. The briefing also includes some links for further research – you know your individual circumstances better than anyone else and you might need to do some additional research on how your actions could affect these circumstances. Please note that we must all take responsibility for our own actions.
We are coming together to protect life on Earth – that includes the spaces and people of London. So treat passers-by with kindness and don't cause any violent damage to the spaces where we will come together to rebel for our future. Some of these spaces will include parks and world heritage sites that we should all treat with the respect that they deserve. A lack of respect for these spaces will not only reflect badly upon our movement, but could also have severe legal implications for you. We are coming together in celebration of life.
We want everyone to be welcome, safe and able to take part in the rebellion. If you have specific access requirements, please email us at xraccessibility@gmail.com.
Tent and sleeping bag (if staying at Marble Arch, more details on other accommodation below), a water bottle, sun cream, a cushion/chair, raincoat and warm clothes, any medication and anything else you would bring for a long stay sleeping outside. It is April and it will be chilly at night, so please bring sleeping mats with good ground insulation, hats etc.
A pot-plant for co-creating a green space, musical instruments etc.
Please be aware the Rebellion is alcohol and drug free.
Wellbeing and Families teams and systems will be in place to provide some support to Rebels, but Extinction Rebellion advises that you make every effort to take care of your own needs and the needs of those around you.
Being prepared, both physically, mentally and emotionally for whatever you might be getting up to. Know your boundaries and make sure you have the support system you need in place e.g. friends, family, Affinity Groups. Keep an eye out for signs of physical or emotional fatigue. Whether you are in an Affinity Group or not, you should consider 'buddying up' with someone on the ground. Buddies can look out for each other personally during the action and can check in with each other afterwards.
Community spaces and churches will be open for rest and regeneration across the city. For physical and emotional support, there will be Wellbeing Sanctuaries and First Aid Points at each of the camps where you will be able to either access or be sign-posted to support. There will also be opportunities to participate in a variety of talks and workshops on Wellbeing and Regeneration.
Out on the streets, the Wellbeing teams will be easily identifiable in blue sashes and First Aiders will be wearing Green vests.
The wellbeing of our Earth and all life is why we are here. Recharge by reconnecting with yourself and nature whenever possible to ensure that you stay positive and grounded to the cause.
Also to be found near the Wellbeing Sanctuaries will be the Families teams who will be facilitating activities and workshops to help younger Rebels and their carers connect with the action and each other in an enjoyable way.
There is ongoing Wellbeing, Resilience and Respite support beyond the Rebellion weeks. We will be providing guidance for accessing local resources, workshops, trainings, talking circles and group/peer support. This is for individuals as well as for wellbeing coordinators and buddies to feel empowered to help their fellow activists. XR-PerennialRegen@protonmail.com for more information.
Coaches are coming into London from across the country, so join with friends new and old for the journey down to London. Find tickets here.
If you live close to London and own a bike, why not join the Rebel Riders? This is not just for lycra-wearing professionals: the Riders are covering around 30 miles per day (with frequent stops), and actively encourage participation. We are looking for bicycle mounted affinity groups during the rebellion to help with the action.
The camp at Marble Arch will be ringed with railings against which Riders can secure their bikes, and these railings will be within eyeline of Rebels, stewards and night-watchers, but we're also working with the accommodation team to provide alternative places for people to leave bikes.
We are all rising up, the youth included – visit www.xryouth.org/rebellion to find out more.
There are four sites in Central London that will be held. Three of the sites (Beyond Politics, Tell The Truth and Act Now) will be held by designated Rebels round-the-clock in shifts. We'll stay up throughout the night at these sites, hosting everything from candlelit vigils, to sober raves, to interfaith events. If you'd like to host a nocturnal event, please get in touch, or get down to support these nightwatchers as often as you can.
A briefing with details of which regions and Affinity Groups are assigned to which location will soon follow this document.
One site, This Is An Emergency at Marble Arch, will be the XR Campsite. This will be a secure, safe and supportive space. Come from Sunday 14th with your camping gear to join the Earth Marchers at Hyde Park and join the warm rebellious welcome we'll be putting on for them.
Most Rebels will split their nights between camping at This Is An Emergency and supporting the nocturnal events at Beyond Politics, Tell The Truth and Act Now. The more Rebels we have at each site, the easier they will be to hold.

I love salads and by using seasonal flavors like apples, dried cranberries and walnuts you can really change up the boring go-to garden salad. Below is a fall inspired salad recipe that is not lacking in presentation or flavor!
1. Rinse the entire 5oz container of baby kale leaves in a colander under cool water and allow to drain while preparing the other ingredients.
2. In a small bowl (or even a blender) combine the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, dijon mustard, garlic, & black pepper. Whisk together until the dressing looks smooth & evenly combined.
3. Wash the Granny Smith apple and chop it into chunks for sprinkling.
4. Once the baby kale is dry (you can toss with a paper towel in colander to remove additional moisture) place leaves in a large bowl and add the apple chunks, chopped walnuts, and craisens to it and lightly toss to mix.
5. Pour about half of the the dressing over the top and toss to coat with salad tongs or utensils. Divide the salad evenly on to 4 plates.
6. If additional dressing is desired then add the rest to the salads.

Q: get inner patterns recursively using regex c# i know there are several questions about regex recursion in .net. I can write somewhat complex regex expressions but this recursion is beyond me, i am just not able to write it.
This are the questions closest to what i want.
first question, second question.
but it matches the entire string, i want the matches in a collection preferably the innermost match first or in some order. Also it matches on one opening character and one closing character. Mine is 2 chars for opening and closing, [! and !]
my input string will be something like this.
[!a='test' b='[!a='innertest' b='innervalue'!]'!]

I need to find the innertest section, [!a='innertest' b='innervalue'!], first and then evaluate it through one of my expression trees. then evaluate the parent one containing it.
Can anyone help with this?

A: Here's a pattern that might satisfy your needs:
^\[!((?<n>\w+='\[!)|(?<inner-n>!]')|\w+='(?!\[!)[^']*'| )*!](?!(n))$

It will give the innermost item for each item in order. To explain what I mean, given the code:
[!a='test' c='[!x='blah'!]' b='[!a='[!y='innermost'!]' b='innervalue'!]' !]

It will give the following matches (in the capture collection for the group "inner"):
x='blag'
y='innermost'
a='[!y='innermost'!]' b='innervalue'

So, for each x=y item in the [! .. !], it will give the matches in order from innermost outwards.
If you also want the overall expression to be captured you can modify it like this:
^(?<n>\[!)((?<n>\w+='\[!)|(?<inner-n>!]')|\w+='(?!\[!)[^']*'| )*(?<inner-n>!])(?!(n))$

Giving:
x='blag'
y='innermost'
a='[!y='innermost'!]' b='innervalue'
a='test' c='[!x='blag'!]' b='[!a='[!y='innermost'!]' b='innervalue'!]'

And to explain the regex:
^       # start of string
\[!     # start of overall [! .. !]
(       # either ...
    (?<n>\w+='\[!)|     # a complex x='[! .. !]' containing a nested [! .. !] - push this onto the stack 'n'
    (?<inner-n>!]')|    # end of a nested [! .. !] - pop stack 'n', and capture the contents into 'inner'
    \w+='(?!\[!)[^']*'| # a simple x='asdf' with no nested [! .. !]
     )                  # or a space
*       # as many times as you want
!]      # the end of the overall [! .. !]
(?!(n)) # assert that the 'n' stack is empty, no mismatched [! .. !]
$       # end of string

Some Florida residents may believe that abuse occurs only if there is physical violence involved. However, this is actually not the case. A person can also be emotionally abused; although, this type of abuse may be harder to spot.
On behalf of Platt Hopwood Russell & Cole PLLC posted in Domestic Violence on Tuesday, November 4, 2014.
Although most people have a general understanding of the law, there are some areas of criminal law that most residents know very little about. Take for example domestic violence. Most people have a general idea of what domestic violence is, but few can recite specific laws that pertain to residents in our state. Fewer still can explain what rights you have when facing criminal charges -- unless, of course, they have the right legal background.

Q: How do I access "gmail" umbrella account with non-gmail domain name? I need to search through all of someone's emails for a compliance exercise. The individual has one gmail account that he forwards all of his other accounts to. However, I get an authentication error when I try to access the umbrella account, despite the fact that I can login to the umbrella account through the browser. See specific questions after description.
This fails - note the domain name isn't gmail.com - it's user@usersfullname.com but I access it via the browser by logging into gmail.com
import imaplib
mail = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com')
mail.login(user@usersname.com, password)

I get an authentication error ("Invalid credentials (Failure) despite the fact that the same credentials let me login on the browser. I unlocked the account etc. using these instructions: https://om4.com.au/google-apps-gmail-invalid-credentials-unlock-captcha/
I CAN login to one of the accounts that's being forwarded to the umbrella account which DOES have an @gmail.com domain name with exactly the same credentials i.e.:
mail = imaplib.IMAP4_SSL('imap.gmail.com')
mail.login(user@gmail.com, same_password_as_above)

Questions:
(1) Is it possible that the reason I'm getting an authentication failure that I'm using the wrong imap information - the login to the gmail account is @username.com, not gmail.com. If so, how do I figure out what the right stmp server is? It doesn't say in the Gmail Settings - Accounts & Import tab
(Note: the password and username are definitely correct)
(2) Is there another reason that I could be getting an authentication error? Note that I unlocked the account - see above and my script is working for other gmail accounts...

A: Here's how I solved my problem:
Step 1) Sign in to the administrator account and follow these instructions to allow the other sub-accounts to change access to less secure apps: https://support.google.com/a/answer/6260879
Step 2) Go to specific gmail account you need to access and follow these instructions to allow access for less secure apps: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en
Step 3) I also followed these instructions (https://om4.com.au/google-apps-gmail-invalid-credentials-unlock-captcha/ but I'm not sure it was necessary

Wet summer rains on insurers' parade as bad weather hits profits
By Roger Baird
Washout: The April to June quarter was the wettest since records began
Britain's washout summer has cost the insurance industry £450million, according to initial forecasts.
The three months from April to June were the wettest since records began, with double the average rain falling in June alone, the Met Office said.
This has led to flooding, storm and hailstone damage in the East Midlands, the North East and the North West, which looks like punching a sizeable hole through insurers' profits according to Deutsche Bank.
The claims will arise from policyholders claiming on damage to their houses, commercial property as well as motor insurance.
RSA Insurance (up 0.6p at 108.9p) is one of the first firms to give the market an indication of how much the freak weather will add to its costs. The insurer, which runs More Than home and motor insurance, said it expects to take a £40million hit in June and 'around £10million' in July. RSA said it received 6,500 claims in June and July, an unusually high number for that time of year.
The business added that the two earthquakes in Italy's Emilia-Romagna region in May will cost it a further £35million.
CITY INTERVIEW: Invest to prevent a bleak UK, says Interserve boss Adrian Ringrose
As a result of these extra claims RSA said its full-year combined ratio – a key measure of underwriting profitability – would rise to 'better than 96 per cent' from 95 per cent. The further a combined ratio is below 100 per cent leads to increased profits.
Shore Capital cut its full-year pre-tax profits forecast for RSA by £85million to £429million, however the broker held its annual dividend forecast at 9.4p.
Shore Capital also forecast Aviva, another strong player in this market, would suffer a £75million full-year profits hit, while rival insurer Legal & General would see £20million sliced off its annual profit.
Pub owner and brewer Fuller, Smith & Turner also cited the unseasonal rainfall as the reason why its sales over the last 15 weeks to the middle July missed forecasts.
The brewer of London Pride beer said like-for-like sales at its pubs fell 1.1 per cent because 'persistent rain affected sales in a large number of pubs with gardens'. Broker Panmure Gordan had expected sales at the firm to rise by 1 per cent over that period. Fuller's (flat at 705.5p) said the Queen's Jubilee and the Euro 2012 football finals had lifted sales, only to see them quickly dampened by the rain.
Chairman of the brewer Michael Turner said he hoped business would benefit from 'the excitement' of the London Olympics, which begins next Friday.

My Hero Academia Vol 7 by Kohei Horikoshi
Ida, Midoriya, and Todoroki continue to battle the Hero Killer Stain. Several actual heroes, including the mentors of all three students, come to help, but the students manage to subdue the Hero Killer by working together. Afterwards, All Might gives Midoriya some information about the origins of One for All, and clues him in to what might be waiting for him in his future. He doesn't tell Midoriya the most grim news, however. Then, the students prepare for their final exams, which include a test and a practical exam. The teachers decide that the students require more real-life scenarios than previous years, so they remove the robot combatants and pit two students up against each teacher! Of course, Bakugo and Midoriya are teamed up. Bakugo must learn to work with Midoriya despite his deep-seeded hatred.
It's apparent, from the storyline and the author's notes, that Hero Killer Stain will have a lasting impact on this story, and his presence has shifted the entire narrative into a more serious, darker tone. There are parts of this volume that are really confusing, mainly the little vignettes of the other students - like when Bakugo his hair styled/cut, with some of the random comments other students make. The final exam seems like an insurmountable task if you choose not to run away. How can two students hope to defeat a teacher? We'll find out in the next volume, as this one, of course, ends on a cliffhanger in the middle of the action!
Suitability Level:

Q: Apache Tomcat/8.5.3 Manager App 403 error I have tomcat running on an ubuntu instance on aws and I can successfully get to the If you're seeing this, you've successfully installed Tomcat. Congratulations! page but when I click on Manager App I immediately get navigated to the 403 Access Denied page.
I've edited the tomcat-users.xml file to have a manager-gui role and even made the user have manager-status, manager-script, as well.
Then I shut down the server using bin/shutdown.sh, navigated to the page to check that it was actually shut down then did bin/startup.sh to restart it.
But whenever I click on that Manager App button it doesn't even bring up the username/password box it just goes straight to the 403 page.
Am I missing something else?
Edit: Here is my entire users xml file
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

<tomcat-users xmlns="http://tomcat.apache.org/xml"
              xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
              xsi:schemaLocation="http://tomcat.apache.org/xml tomcat-users.xsd"
              version="1.0">

  <role rolename="manager-script"/>
  <role rolename="manager-gui"/>
  <role rolename="manager-jmx"/>
  <role rolename="manager-status"/>
  <user username="admin" password="myPassword" roles="manager-gui,manager-status,manager-script"/>

</tomcat-users>

A: This helped me to get it working.
Tomcat manager never asking me ID/PASSWORD
You need to add the manager.xml to conf/Catalina/localhost
According to the documentation:
"A default Tomcat installation includes the Manager. To add an instance of the Manager web application Context to a new host install the manager.xml context configuration file in the $CATALINA_BASE/conf/[enginename]/[hostname] folder"
In my case for example, I have this path: /opt/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost
Example of manager.xml
<Context privileged="true" antiResourceLocking="false" docBase="${catalina.home}/webapps/manager">
<Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve" allow="^.*$" /></Context>

A: I believe another way to resolve this is to edit the context.xml file that exists by default in the app:
$CATALINA_HOME/webapps/manager/META-INF/context.xml
Prior to Tomcat 8.5, the Valve here was commented out:
<Context antiResourceLocking="false" privileged="true" >
  <!--
    Remove the comment markers from around the Valve below to limit access to
    the manager application to clients connecting from localhost
  -->
  <!--
  <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve"
         allow="127\.\d+\.\d+\.\d+|::1|0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1" />
  -->
</Context>

But it seems to be uncommented by default in 8.5. As noted in the 8.5x migration guide, https://tomcat.apache.org/migration-85.html#Migrating_from_8.0.x_to_8.5.x:
Migrating from 8.0.x to 8.5.x
This section lists all the known changes between 8.0.x and 8.5.x which may cause backwards compatibility problems when upgrading.
...
Web applications
The Manager and HostManager web applications are configured by default with a RemoteAddrValve that limits access to those applications to connections from localhost.

So, bottom line, I think you could adjust the context.xml in the app, or make a new manager.xml file and adjust that context element, as described above.

A: You need to create a context for the Manager App and allow access from Tomcat 8.5.x
Under your $CATALINA_BASE/conf/Catalina/localhost/ home create a file manager.xml
manager.xml content, note my source is 172.31.254.37 (my computer), change this to your source :
<Context privileged="true" antiResourceLocking="false"
         docBase="${catalina.home}/webapps/manager">
  <Valve className="org.apache.catalina.valves.RemoteAddrValve"
         allow="172\.31\.254\.37" />
</Context>

Make sure your User/Roles are defined in $CATALINA_BASE/conf/tomcat-users.xml
<user username="tomcat" password="tomcat" roles="manager-gui,manager-status"/>

Kind Regards,
Jacques de Jager
