In the olfaction language pine is the very archetype of trees. Its resinous emanations have perfumed the whole planet when it was covered by forests, million of years ago and are deeply imprinted in our genes as inherited olfactory memories, so that their smells fills us with joy of life. Their trunk raises straight and strong towards the sky, allowing their head to reach breathtaking heights.
They symbolize the masculine qualities of straight forwardness, trustworthiness, quiet strength and harmonious spirituality, with its deep roots in the earth and its head in heavens. Between heaven and earth the straight line of the trunk. Pine trees manifest in their structure the successful effort of man to rise from materiality to spirituality. Trees from the family of pines have the capacity to resist to extreme climates and some of them are among the oldest living beings that today exist. The pine trees give two olfactory notes : one from the wood and the other from the needles.
The needle's fragrance is balsamic and causes our breath to expand. In fact, the tree breathes through its leaves, who are indeed like a turned over lung. The aroma of pine needles is fresh and balsamic, it opens and cures the respiratory track.
Psychologically, it has the effect to make us raise the head to the sky exactly like the head of pine trees do. The essences obtained from the distillation of the needles from various species of pines are used in the cure of the most serious respiratory diseases.
The wood of the pine trunks produces turpentine essential oils. Valnet recommends this essential oils for the cure of bones and articulations. In the same way in which wood is warm and insulating, the essences of woods, particularly those of pines, reinforce the ability of the body to resist to the diseases of cold.

Three Nigerian Pilgrims Abscond In Israel
Written by darling on December 18, 2019
Three pilgrims from the Nigeria have reportedly absconded after visiting the holy land in Israel.
The absconded pilgrims are from Delta State.
Governor Ifeanyi Okowa in reaction on Tuesday said he is shocked. He described the incident as embarrassing and promised to carry out an investigation into the incident.
"From next year, we do not want to have the incidences of people absconding in Israel. It is something that is becoming worrisome. I just got a text. I have not been able to confirm but I want to investigate that three persons absconded.
"I still feel very shocked," Okowa said.
The governor was reacting during the swearing-in and inauguration of special advisers and board members of some state parastatals at the government house in Asaba, the state capital.
He vowed to investigate the incident to its root and find out who recommended the absconded pilgrims.
"We are going to dig it up in its roots to find out who recommended the pilgrims. It is very embarrassing, I do not expect that from Delta State," Okowa added.
He concluded that the process for selection and screening of Christian pilgrims from Delta State will henceforth be more thorough to ensure trust and responsibility.

The point of search engine optimization is to boost a website's chance of being found on search engines. Website owners benefit, as their sites have greater visibility, boosting visitation and perhaps revenue. The tips from this article will show you how to do just that.
If you want your site to achieve high rankings, you must make your content more spider-friendly. Spiders are constantly navigating your site's content looking for relevant items like your keywords, but for them to do so, your site must be easily navigable. To help the spiders understand the hierarchy of your website's pages, craft a site map highlighting the most important factors of your site.
TIP! When developing an optimized page, do not be fooled into purchasing unnecessary ads to get a higher rank. You can always advertise, though this isn't the way to boost site rankings.
Internal links must use relevant anchor text for the best impact. A common example of poor anchor text is "click here". This anchor text contributes nothing to your search rank. You can attract web crawlers to your anchor text by using relevant keywords in it.
You need to have a list of all of your site content if you want the most out of search engine optimization. A site map makes it easier for the spiders to understand your website. A huge site might require more than a single map. You should delegate, at most, 100 links per map.
You do not need to hire an expert to optimize your site for search engines. There are many resources available. There are lots of websites and books out there.
TIP! Make sure you use header tags. Headers can sometimes be too large, but CSS can be employed to adjust sizes.
Even though a link exchange is possible, it is a better idea to exchange articles with other webmasters to boost rankings. By posting another website owner's article and crediting them for the article, you will increase traffic to both sites. This type of SEO has more success than traditional link exchanges do.
A description tag that is efficient will draw users to your website, improving your site's search engine optimization. This particular tag should be thirty words or less. Try to make sure that the size of this page doesn't go over 100 KB.
SEO improves your ranking when your keywords are searched for. This helps the site owners' sites become more visible, which leads to more popularity and revenue for them. Using what you've just learned, forge ahead and optimize your site.

Yep, Apple Killed The CD Today
Why is it that Apple seems to be the only tech company that truly leads the industry in innovation? Why is it that when Apple says "This is where the industry is going in five years" that's the direction the industry goes, despite the fact that other people may have tried the same thing first? Are Steve Jobs pants really magic?

Read how Sarah & Jason's personal story motivated them to join, and go on to raise, the most money at our 5KOK challenge
Leanne Down
Let us introduce you to Sarah and Jason. This local superstar mum & son duo have won the title of raising the most money at our recent 5KOK challenge. Their initial goal was to bike ride 50km's over the month of October and raise $100, however they smashed that within the first week and went on to raise an impressive $900.
Bike riding together has always been precious bonding time, and both use it to de-stress and clear their minds. As you know, the 5KOK challenge was to raise funds to support mental health services in Wyndham. Jason and Sarah have a personal reason that motivated them to join the challenge, and we want to share their inspirational story with you.
Jason is a 12 year old autistic child who loves bike riding, footy, WWE, and playing guitar with a penchant for classical music. He also has political aspirations to make the world a better place, and wants to see greater equality for women, and inclusion for people of all abilities. His mum, Sarah, has 3 young children, all of whom have special needs. Sarah says each child has a differing set of needs, but proudly describes them all as being special and amazing in their own right.
Sarah has suffered from mental health issues since she was a young child, and was drawn to the 5KOK challenge as a means of giving back to show gratitude for the mental health services she has received. Sadly, Sarah's mental health took a turn for the worse not too long ago, and a bad day got progressively worse, ultimately escalating to her attempting to take her own life.
Fortunately, she was able to be revived by paramedics and found herself in ICU in an induced coma. The rest of Sarah's story should be about her successful recovery and solid support network, but instead it takes a dark turn with people judging her harshly for what she tried to do to herself. Sarah has described the aftermath of what she suffered as being worse than the events that led to the attempt on her life. She felt bullied and ostracized, and had to put her children in a different school to protect them.
Over time she has rebuilt her strength with the loving support from her partner and family. Sarah wants people to know that empathy and compassion is vital, and one can never know what struggles someone is experiencing. Critical judgement only compounds a person's pain, and can have detrimental consequences.
We are grateful to Sarah for sharing her personal story, and we hope in doing so, this may have helped someone else. If you, or someone you love, needs to speak to someone for support, the number for Lifeline Australia is 13 11 14.
Mental health services in our community have seen an increase in demand and the Werribee Hospital Foundation continues its dedication to support these, and other health services, for the Wyndham community.

Q: How to save a new trigger on an existing Scheduled Task I'm using the TaskService class to create and edit Windows Scheduled Tasks. One problem I have is how to save a new trigger on an existing Scheduled Task. The trigger does not seem to save.
var task = new TaskService().FindTask("My Scheduled Task");
BootTrigger trigger = new BootTrigger();
var td = task.Definition;
//td.Triggers.Count = 1 at this point
td.Triggers.Add(trigger);
//td.Triggers.Count = 2 at this point

So the code seems okay. But if I open the Scheduled Task in Windows, only 1 trigger is shown and not the one I added.  If I run my code again, the trigger count is back to 1, so it seems like there should be some Commit() or Save() function. What am I missing?

A: You are missing re-registering the task definition.
var ts = new TaskService();
var task = ts.FindTask("My Scheduled Task");
BootTrigger trigger = new BootTrigger();
var td = task.Definition;
//td.Triggers.Count = 1 at this point
td.Triggers.Add(trigger);
//td.Triggers.Count = 2 at this point
ts.RootFolder.RegisterTaskDefinition("My Scheduled Task", td);

The responsible rescue places the welfare and happiness of the animal first.
As a first step in the adoption process, an application form should be completed. The rescue/shelter then performs careful screening of potential adopters and verifies references — the goal being to match up the right pet with the right home.
All pets should be spayed/neutered prior to being placed and, if for any reason (ie., too young or some medical reason) spaying/neutering is not done prior to placement, this is included as a requirement within the adoption contract.
All animals ready for adoption should have been examined by a veterinarian and be up to date on vaccines.
All animals ready for adoption should have been temperament tested.
The rescue/shelter should provide full disclosure about the dog, including any medical and/or behavioural problems.
Depending on the pet to be adopted, the rescue may require that adopters participate in training classes.
The rescue/shelter should offer ongoing support to adopters.
A written adoption contract should be provided and should include all requirements/expectations including a clause stating that the pet must be returned to the rescue if the adopter decides to relinquish the pet.
Rescue organizations should be able to provide references from shelters in their area and in general should be working with those shelters.
A reputable rescue operates as a not-for-profit entity and/or registered charity.
How Could You? — A poem written by Jim Willis.
Warning: This poem is extremely sad and will surely bring tears to your eyes, but if you are considering adding a pet to your family, it will remind you how important a decision that is, that they deserve no less than a permanent and loving home, and that they do indeed become a member of the family.
Adopting from a Shelter or Rescue Organization — There are thousands of dogs waiting to be adopted in animal shelters across the country. They come in all shapes and sizes, purebred and mixed-breed, young puppies and senior dogs, high-energy and laid back pooches. They all have one thing in common: they want and desperately need a second chance, a new and loving family to take them in and give them a place they can truly call "home".

Extra £15m announced for Gloucestershire during visit from Transport Secretary
Secretary of State for Transport Patrick McLoughlin visited Gloucestershire this week to announce how £15 million of addition investment will help boost jobs and growth in the county.
The funding is part of the next phase of the Local Growth Deal, which it is claimed will create 6,000 new jobs and provide 400 new homes in Gloucestershire.
Patrick McLoughlin said: "This £15 million funding will make a lasting improvement to Gloucestershire's economy. Providing investment for the county to drive its own growth and job creation forms a major part of this government's long-term economic plan. The projects will provide the businesses, housing and skills that will build on the economic strengths already evident in Gloucestershire."
The money is in addition to the £62.5 million announced in July last year, bringing the total to £77.5 million set aside for the county.

If This Is A Blog Then What's Christmas?
"Endearingly belligerent" – another blogger
My advertising work
Feb 13 2014 February 13, 2014 February 13, 2014 19Comments	by ben
Advertising=a fundamental force for good?
In the editorial piece the founder of the magazine, John Bird, discusses how things are so much better now than in the old days.
'In fact there was so much that was loathsome about the 1950s, '60s and '70s I grew up in that you can only come to the conclusion they were loathsome times. And we are well out of those times. I remember how acceptable it was to talk about disabled people as 'spastics', as failed and cast-off people who were only good to joke at.
Or women and girls were described without personality, purposeless other than to be on your arm or in your bed or up against a wall.
British governments and many of the people looked upon foreigners as some low form of life, not just because of their colour but their culture, their food and their clothing. 'John Foreigner' was how posh people described anyone who wasn't British.
Children could be beaten on public transport by their parents without anyone turning a blind eye. Even a total stranger might grab you by the ear because of some misdemeanour – a well-tossed stinkbomb might do it – and you would be thrown to the floor.
I remember all these times, and the racism and classism – the anti-humanity of it all – and thank the lord that we got out of it.
But how? What changed?
…The big thing was our embrace of consumerism, from the early to mid-1950s days of commercial television – with its incessant round of TV ads with monkeys drinking tea while chatting and riding push bikes – to the clothes we got on hire purchase from Burton and other high-street tailors.
We became customers, and suddenly coppers, teachers, magistrates, shopkeepers and publicans seemed to realise our evocative power – our money.
We changed so radically that soon, although our working lives might still be shit, we used deodorant and shower gels. And had baths more than once a week and changed our underwear at least twice a week.
And attitudes changed. Appearances changed. The good old days, on reflection, were not that good, and I am so glad we are where we are. But we've still got a shit lot to do to make this society more just and free. But then, that's another story.'
That's an interesting theory; one that squarely lays much of the credit for the upward mobility of the less well-off at the door of London's advertising agencies. (I imagine that Alan Parker's work, which really broke through the class divide with more working class casts and situations, accelerated this effect.)
The current default position for many is to consider globalisation and consumerism as the endless feeding of a giant beast that will not be satisfied until is has gobbled up every resource the planet can produce, and all its inhabitants are hocked up to their eyeballs, enslaved to years of debt.
But further afield, beyond the First World consumerist guilt, the world has been getting steadily better in clear and measurable ways that might not be readily apparent to the middle classes of this country.
If I were Dave Trott I would now make a point about people not being able to see beyond the end of their noses.
But I'm not.
So I'll just stop here.

Tim B says:
Just finished reading Stuffocation by James Wallman. I think you might appreciate some of it.
Anonymouse says:
There's a case, for sure.
But I'm not sure advocates of Friedan's 'The Feminine Mystique' would argue that advertising was a force for good. Rather, they would argue that it was advertisers who directly sought to put women in the kitchen, to use their fancy new white goods, to shut up, and to do just what their husbands told them.
The Friedan feminists would say that the change in women was in spite of advertisers.
Of course, it's a theory, and not fact. But, again, a case can be made.
Yes. My conclusion about John Bird's theory is deliberately noncommittal, but it would be reasonable to suggest that advertising has been a force for harm as well as good.
I was just surprised at the extent to which it could be considered 'good'.
Rory Sutherland once said, "We live in a society where you can go to TESCO at three in the morning and buy a microwave oven for a tenner, and nobody's happy."
It's a great observation. It has the case both for and against the consumerist advance inherent in it.
That is a very astute observation.
'Your mind is its own worst enemy'.
There's another.
Pip McKiffenik says:
I quite enjoyed the 60's and 70's but then again I quite enjoyed the 80s 90s 00s and I'm quite enjoying the 10s too. I think it's because I don't give too much of a shit about anything. Including my reasonably senior position in advertising (ie sometimes people listen to what I'm saying instead of never listening to what I'm saying).
Rest assured when I'm being relatively senior I'm pretending like mad that I actually do give a shit.
Bill Kay says:
I think Bird is missing a step in advertising contribution to making the world today a more egalitarian, relaxed, respectful place than it was. Advertising's prime aim is to stimulate economic activity, mainly through more consumer purchases. It also helps through B2B, but that's another story. More economic activity improves standards of living, which creates economic opportunity, jobs, better education and health, etc. All these lay the foundations for a better society, but they are not enough. We needed Germaine Greer, Friedan and others to point out anomalies and injustices, to ensure that we took advantages of the opportunities to advance. And of course all the good can be undone by politicians – as Hitler demonstrated. So, everlasting ticks for advertising, but it's not the whole story. And remember, there were times, during ecomic booms in the 1960s and 1980s, when advertising was blamed for making people too materialistic.
I think the materialism accusation is, for many people, where advertising sits. As an industry it's generally viewed in a negative way and I think much of that negativity comes from its position as a promoter of the superficial, material and consumerist ways.
The Bird article was one of the first things I'd read where a lot of credit had been given to its other effects without any qualifying corollaries.
Ben, does your dad write a blog about breakfast?
Because, if so, he just became my new hero.
HB says:
There are societies where they put together the component parts of cheap microwaves for conglomerates to flog 24 hours of the day.
I imagine they're not so stoked about it either.
Then again, maybe they're happy they have jobs. And those that don't have jobs, well maybe they have their health? And if you're not healthy…?
Consumerism is highly addictive. And it requires some intricate navigation to try not to shit on everyone lower than you whilst gobbling up everything you didn't know you needed.
Blah, yes he does.

Fake like a like says:
You're blog doesn't swear much anymore?
Why the cunting fuck not?
But you don't hear the "materialistic" criticism much these days, and I think that's because we can do with all the economic stimulus we can get, without asking too many questions. We're in the soup kitchen! Of course advertising promotes materialism, because it is trying to persuade us to buy material goods and services. It's only the excess that is arguably bad – and that's not a problem these days.

@Bill: but I don't recall much moaning about materialism even before the recent crash. It seemed then that people were delighted to overconsume/enjoy the bling bling etc.
I don't really recall the anti-materialism thing since Thatcher's time, where there seemed to be more of a class-based resentment between the haves and the have nots.
But now that people in council houses have satellite TV and you can buy all the Top Shop and Primark stuff you like then throw it away, there are fewer have-nots to complain.
Let's be honest, it's what we advertise, rather than advertising that did it? A funny thing working on a global food brand though – we advertise to women as if it's the 1970's, because, for all the markets we can potentially grow in, it is.
Isn't it about time you got rid of that surveillance patch thing? And wrote another book? The first one was good fun.
I think I'll leave the surveillance patch thing. Its random pointlessness feels in keeping with the intention of the website it links to.
And I have written another book – two actually.
This post details the current situation with the Instinct sequel: http://www.ben-kay.com/2013/08/the-rollercoaster-ride-of-not-selling-a-book/
But I'm now giving very serious consideration to self-publishing, as it'll get my book out there in a way that I can control. Maybe I'll write a post about that in the near future…
Surely in these days of market saturation, advertising often just hinders consumption – by adding to costs and raising prices?
This is an argument I've heard made by Rory Sutherland – I paraphrase: "if you want to live in a future with fewer material goods, you can either be poorer – which in general people don't like – or you can live in a world where actually intangible (or 'perceived', advertising-generated) value constitutes a greater part of overall value."

The Count of Monte Cristo Alexandre Dumas
The Count of Monte Cristo (French: Le Comte de Monte-Cristo) is an experience book by French author Alexandre Dumas (père) completed in 1844. It is among the author's more popular works, together with The 3 Musketeers. Like a number of his novels, it was broadened from plot describes suggested by his collaborating ghostwriter Auguste Maquet. [1] Another essential work by Dumas, composed prior to his work with Maquet, was the short novel Georges; this novel is of particular interest to scholars since Dumas recycled a number of the ideas and plot devices later in The Count of Monte Cristo. [2]
The story happens in France, Italy, and islands in the Mediterranean throughout the historic events of 1815– 1839: the period of the Bourbon Repair through the reign of Louis-Philippe of France. It starts prior to the Hundred Days duration (when Napoleon went back to power after his exile). The historic setting is an essential component of the book, an experience story mainly worried about styles of hope, justice, revenge, mercy, and forgiveness. It centres on a male who is wrongfully imprisoned, escapes from jail, obtains a fortune, and goes about exacting vengeance on those responsible for his imprisonment. His plans have ravaging consequences for both the innocent and the guilty.
The book is thought about a literary classic today. According to Luc Sante, "The Count of Monte Cristo has actually become a component of Western civilization's literature, as inescapable and right away identifiable as Mickey Mouse, Noah's flood, and the story of Little Red Riding Hood." [3]

Q: Elegant way to add and set property by condition in Javascript I am creating data object to send with Ajax to the server. I find myself repeating these lines to add properties to data object:
var param1, param2;
if (param1 = $("field1").val())
  data.param1 = param1;

if (param2 = $("field2").val())
  data.param2 = param2;

etc.

I am just curious if there's any more elegant way to fill data object in my case? Thanks.

A: You could define a setter function:
data.set = function(key, value, fieldName){
    if(value = $(fieldName).val()){
        this[key] = this[value]
    }
}

then you would just call data.set('param1', param1, 'field1);
This is not a fix per se but just a shorter way of putting it

Nunes Suing 'His' Imaginary Cow, Mom, and Twitter
By George Khoury, Esq. on April 01, 2019 3:11 PM
In what might be one of the oddest of oddball politician-related lawsuits we've seen this year, Devin Nunes, the Republican representative from California, is suing Twitter and the owners of two parody Twitter accounts pretending to be his cow and his mother, for one quarter billion dollars.
The lawsuit alleges defamation, negligence, and seeks an injunction demanding Twitter deactivate the defendants' Twitter accounts and reveal their true identities. Based on the commentary to date, the lawsuit has been called frivolous, and has been ridiculed by nearly every single late night comedy host.
Barbra Nunes' Cow
At this point, had Nunes never done nothing, the Twitter parody account probably would have run out of steam after a year or two more, without ever really gaining that much more traction, as most parody accounts do. We all love them, but few actually make it to @Popehat status, and now, @DevinCow has surpassed even the holiest of Twitter hats.
But for the fact that Nunes filed the lawsuit, the two accounts probably would have remained relatively obscure. After the lawsuit was filed and the late night comedy TV circuit caught wind of it, @DevinCow went from a thousand-some followers to 400,000-plus. This is often referred to as the Streisand effect.
Now, Nunes is facing a media and social media pile on, with pretty much everyone in agreement that the lawsuit is ridiculous, and destined to fail.
Don't Have a Cow Devin?
While the things the Twitter cow and fake Twitter mom said clearly are critical of Nunes, and even mean, the accounts are clearly parody. Another factor that doesn't play up Nunes' case in the court of public opinion is the fact that he co-sponsored a recent bill aimed at combating frivolous litigation.
One of the big legal critiques Nunes faces is the blatant attempt at forum shopping. The matter was filed in the state court of Virginia. Nunes and Twitter are both considered California residents, which really begs the question as to why the case was filed in Virginia.

Peterhof Palace is yet another amazing place to visit in Russia since it is a series of palaces and gardens sometimes referred as the 'Russian Versailles'. It is one of the St. Petersburg's most famous and popular visitor attractions as it appeals to both the minimalist and the longing for grandeur eye. From the outside, it is beige and white and has minimal decoration, but once inside the pompous Ballrooms and Crown Rooms, you will quickly understand why it is one of the most historically marked and beautiful places to visit.
The Church of the Spilt Blood is one of the most famous visited places in St Petersburg adored for its ornately decorated onion domes and fascinating mosaics housed within.

St Isaac's Cathedral is among the highly recommended places to visit in St Petersburg because of its amazing architecture. Built in 40 years in the beginning of the 19th century, the church still amazes everyone with it huge golden dome, a vast ceiling painting and St Catherine's Chapel, a hybrid of Baroque and Classical styles. Moreover, it offers beautiful views of St Petersburg from its gilded viewing platform so you get a chance to not only admire the cathedral itself but also the amazing panoramic views of the city.
The Russian Museum holds the biggest collection of Russian fine art in the city. It is housed in the neoclassical Mikhailovsky Palace, the Marble Palace, the Mikhailovsky Castle, the Stroganov Palace and the Benois Wing.

Stroganoff Steak House is located near the St. Isaac's Cathedral that offers huge steaks and chops alongside with Russia's famous beef stroganoff. The imported cuts from Australia, New Zealand are dry aged and hand butchered which makes the dishes hard to forget. It is also one of the top places to eat because it has a special children's room so you can really enjoy your meal!
Literary Cafe is a great place serving a great mixture of both Russian and European dishes so will definitely find something to please your stomach. It is also a great pick because this up-scale restaurant is located in the very center of the city so you can enjoy best of St. Petersburg while eating.
Yat is situated near the Hermitage so it is a great place to gather back your strength after the amazing palace tour. The restaurant serves a great variety of traditional dishes as well as an impressive range of flavoured vodkas – Russia's signature drink – to try out.
Teplo is a top place to eat at full not only of great dishes but of unexpected props such as table football and child's playroom. It is a great restaurant for delicious breakfast lovers because it is served up till 1pm on weekends and vegetarians because there are plenty of vegetarian choices in the menu.
Cafe Idiot is one of the most famous cafes in the city because it is reminiscent of the area that the famous writer Dostoevsky lived and wrote in. Accordingly, it is named after his famous novel "The Idiot" and so is a great place for any literature or an outstanding quality coffee lover!
Watch a Ballet at Mariinsky Theatre which was once called The Imperial Ballet of Russia because of the insanely talented ballet companies. It is one of the most prestigious ballet theaters in the world, so be sure not to miss out on a once in a lifetime experience while visiting St Petersburg.

St. Petersburg is crisscrossed by several rivers and canals which allows to choose from different routes and tours depending on what exactly you want to see. See for yourself why St. Petersburg is referred to as yet another Venice of the North.
Visit the Palace Square and explore one of the most monumental open sites in the city. It is considered the city's main square and is great for those who like to take some amazing photos in their travels because stunningly grand neo-classic building surrounding the square will let you do just that.

Visit Vasilevskiy Island if you are up for seeing some unique, a bit bizarre but captivating nonetheless attractions. Here on the river side you will find a pair of 15th century sphinxes from Egypt and a museum of biological oddities exhibiting the skeleton and heart of Peter the Great's gigantic personal servant. A bit spooky but a lot intriguing at the same time.
Before planning your holidays in Russia, you should book your visa in advance since all American, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand and European Union citizens need them and this should save you a great deal of money.
Take the St. Petersburg metro at least once, particularly the red line, because at some stations it really looks like a work of art rather than just public transportation station.
It is not the best idea to go around the city with a bicycle even if you are a cycling fan because the drivers don't pay much attention to them so you might get hurt.

This book is intended to be a comprehensive survey of irreversible phenomena in liquid metals. Experiments and special theoretical consid erations can be brought into a general scheme by means of the phenome nological theory of thermodynamics of irreversible processes. In this way well-investigated phenomena such as electrolysis in liquid alloys, and new fields of research such as isotopic separation in liquid metals by action of an electrical direct current, can be given the same theo retical foundation. The goal in this book is to deduce the theory of a special phenomenon as well as to describe experiments connected with the resulting effects. On the other hand no kinetic theory is given since to date no general kinetic theory exists for liquids as it does exist for gases. In general, kinetic models seem to agree with experiments only if the results of the measurements are known beforehand. In Chapter 1 the Onsager symmetry relations are deduced in general. Chapter 2 gives the general phenomenological theory of liquid metals. These two chapters serve as a foundation for the remaining chapters, where the general theory is applied to sO. me cases of special physical interest. The scalar phenomena of relaxation are given in Chapter 3 for the case of nuclear magnetic resonance. Vector phenomena are discussed in Chapters 4 -6. Chapter 7 deals with viscosity effects as examples of tensor effects.

Zagreb, Croatia – 7 November 2016 – Telia Carrier today announced that it has established a new point of presence (PoP) in Zagreb, Croatia, now providing wholesale IP transit and Ethernet services for carriers, content and cloud providers. With the fastest growing internet penetration rate in the region, Zagreb has become a conduit for connectivity as domestic operators and those in surrounding countries can now connect via the Croatian capital to bring high speed connectivity services closer to end users.
Croatia is one of the biggest telecommunications markets in the region and while local operators traditionally built out their own networks here, the recent spike in demand for services across borders has brought the need for help from international carriers. The new PoP allows Telia Carrier to expand the reach of its top-two ranked global IP backbone, AS1299, to Croatia and adjacent countries. Zagreb is uniquely positioned as a major connectivity hub and with access to AS1299, can potentially become a hop for bordering nations as well. This extension also enables content providers, many of which Telia Carrier has strong relationships with, to now extend their services with Telia Carrier into this region, improving customer experience by bringing their content closer to end users.


Comparing, weighing, scaling from 1-10, asking for feedback and reviews etc. are all ways for people to try and validate themselves or their works, or it is an effort to finds one'a weakness and strengthen them with some guidance. Fair enough, it is only human nature to try and improve or impress. But as a writer, these traits can leave you somewhat wounded, somewhat dissatisfied with your own effort, and eventually you become your worst critic. STOP!
I really mean that. Stop. Please do not compare yourself to other writers published or otherwise. You are your own person, you have your own personality, and you have your own individual experiences. Basically, you have your OWN life. Thus, through these you have your own voice, your own writing style, your own narrator. Just like you shouldn't be comparing yourself to another, you shouldn't be comparing your craft to another. These things I mentioned about You are things that are however similar, still unique to you. No one else can claim to BE you if they weren't born as you, meaning, they are you. Hence you are one of a kind.
This actually goes to everybody. Stop comparing yourself to the girl/boy next door, that kid in school, that colleague at work, that family member who seems to be great at everything, and don't try to be something akin to a character from a story, nor mould yourself into the cast others make for you, and don't damage yourself by following in the footsteps of askewed media representation. It is by far the worst punishment you can endure, and why? All for being you?! No. Be you and be free. Freedom allows for great thoughts, wonderful aims and keeps intact your valuable confidence.
Remember this as you go about your day, and perhaps keep it in your mind as you venture further into 2014: the only person you should ever compare yourself to, if at all, is yourself and your past! Be kind to yourself. It's your right.

Fiat B. R. var ett italienskt lätt bombplan, tillverkat av FIAT (Fabbricia Italiana Automobili Torino).

Flygplanet hade ritats av Celestino Rosatelli och börjat tillverkas 1919 efter influenser av den italienske generalen Giulio Douhets militära teorier om ett starkt offensivt bombflyg. Första typen BR (Bombardamento Rosatelli) kom att följas av BR 1, BR 2, BR 3 och BR 4, alla enmotoriga, tvåsitsiga biplan.

Fiat B.R. i Sverige
1923 och 1924 beställdes tre B. R och två B. R. 1 av det svenska arméflyget. Flygplanen placerades vid Malmen och användes då främst som spanings- och övningsflygplan. Vid Svenska flygvapnets tillkomst överfördes flygplanen under beteckningen B 1 och B 2 till det nya vapenslaget. Även här kom de att användas mycket sparsamt. I november 1932 avfördes de tre B 1-flygplanen från tjänst, ett av dessa hade då sedan de kom i flygvapnets tjänst endast flugits drygt 8 timmar. I april 1934 överfördes de kvarvarande B 2-flygplanen till materielreserven för att kasseras i februari 1937.

Prestanda och beväpning
B 1 och B 2 var i stort sett identiska i strukturell mening men skiljde sig både i prestanda och beväpning. B 2 hade större spännvidd på 17,2 m mot B 1s 15,5 m och ett annat vingställ för bomber. Detta tillät mer bomber under vingarna och i övrigt något bättre prestanda. Båda varianterna var utrustade med en tolvcylindrig vätskekyld radmotor av typ Fiat A 14 på 700 hästkrafter.

Beväpningen utgjordes av en i baksitsen rörlig 6,5 mm kulspruta m/22 och ett antal bombbalkar för 50 kilos bomber. B 1 kunde ta en bomblast på 350 kg i formen av sex stycken tysktillverkade 50 kg minbomb model 1926 och B 2 kunde ta en bomblast på 630 kg i formen av elva stycken 50 kg minbomb model 1926. Bomberna vägde drygt 50 kilo vilket ökade totalvikten till 350 kg och 630 kg.

One of the many signs that a city is growing due to tourism is the improvement of its infrastructure and services. This is currently happening in the city of Da Nang, located in the center of Vietnam. The coastal city have seen an increase in tourist arrivals which means more business for hotel in Danang and it has also positively impacted the economy of the country as a while.
To serve the tourists better and to keep up with the developments in other Southeast Asian tourist cities, the local government of Da Nang, Vietnam has given the green light to go ahead with the proposal of South Korea. It pertains to the plan to build a mass transit system around the city which will connect the center to the area close to the beaches as well as the airport. The proposed mass transit system is expected to cost around $3 billions which will cover a tram as well as a metro system.
Dang Viet Dung, the city council's vice chairman, said that they have already given the approval for the proposal to move forward after it was submitted to them by the Seoul Metro Corporation. He has also asked for the cooperation and support coming from the Department of Transport of the city of Da Nang.
Once the mass transit system is completed, it is expected to help improve the current status of the coastal city which is currently of the most popular tourist destination in the region. The city's current population stands at around 900,000 residents.
Seoul Metro's chief executive officer, Kim Tae-ho, said at the beginning of this year that the project is also planned to connect the city of Da Nang to the economic corridor that serves as a bridge to other Southeast Asia countries like Laos, Thailand and Myanmar including Vietnam.
This is good news for owners of hotel in Danang because it will surely boost their occupancy rate. The highlight of the project is the metro system that will cost $2.3 billion and will run between Thanh Khe District and Hai Chau District.

Q: How to type text on a SearchView using espresso TypeText doesn't seem to work with SearchView.
onView(withId(R.id.yt_search_box))
            .perform(typeText("how is the weather?"));

gives the error:

Error performing 'type text(how is the weather?)' on view 'with id:../yt_search_box'

A: @MiguelSlv answer above, converted to kotlin
fun typeSearchViewText(text: String): ViewAction {
    return object : ViewAction {
        override fun getDescription(): String {
            return "Change view text"
        }

        override fun getConstraints(): Matcher<View> {
            return allOf(isDisplayed(), isAssignableFrom(SearchView::class.java))
        }

        override fun perform(uiController: UiController?, view: View?) {
            (view as SearchView).setQuery(text, false)
        }
    }
}

A: This works for me:
onView(withId(R.id.search_src_text)).perform(typeText("how is the weather?"))

A: Based on César Noreña respose I manage to insert text in the search field.
First I clicked on my view and then typeText on the android search view id.
onView(withId(R.id.my_own_search_menu_id)).perform(click());
onView(withId(R.id.search_src_text)).perform(typeText("how is the weather?"))

Also the X button of SearchView has ID search_close_btn
onView(withId(R.id.search_close_btn)).perform(click()); // first time erase the content
onView(withId(R.id.search_close_btn)).perform(click()); // second time close the SearchView

A: For anyone that bump into this problem too, the solution is to write a ViewAction for the type SearchView, since the typeText only supports TextEditView
Here my solution:
public static ViewAction typeSearchViewText(final String text){
    return new ViewAction(){
        @Override
        public Matcher<View> getConstraints() {
            //Ensure that only apply if it is a SearchView and if it is visible.

A group of researchers from eight institutions have proposed a marine biodiversity monitoring network that could be operational in relatively short order, according to the University of Florida.
The proposal includes coordinating research efforts and sharing data, digitizing historic data and creating central facilities to process biological specimens.
The researchers say the network could be established within five years as long as they secured the proper funding and cooperation.
The proposal comes from researchers from the College of William and Mary, Marine Biological Laboratory, University of Kansas, University of Rhode Island, the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the University of California, Davis.
The proposal is published in the journal Bioscience.


I cut yet another version of this today. I didn't exactly work all day, but almost. At one point I took a walk out to the Arboretum, just because everybody says to do so. There, it was very pretty. Shortly later, however, I came back, and resumed work.
I finished this a little past 3:24 of what is in reality a 4:40 piece. However, I faded it at around 3:02, just like its predecessor, because there's a natural fade there where it won't be anticlimactic.
I've been feeling angry over an attitude I'm getting from some people who knew me when I was in entirely different circumstances. These sorts of people don't seem to understand that their ongoing attitude is unacceptable to me. By and large, they never actually listen to my music or appreciate the prodigy invested in it. All they do is notice that there are no vocals, and say something to the effect of: "My time is more important than this. I'll listen to this once you have the singing on it." In so doing, they completely overlook all the detailed scoring of instrumental parts I put into this effort. It's extremely condescending, and I'm not sure why I put up with it.
I'm strongly compelled to equate this attitude with a "California attitude" that many people in other States find puzzling. However, it's more likely that I myself was caught up in that syndrome when I lived there, and I can just thank God to have escaped it. Besides, another friend of mine, also from California, listened to this song from a sincere heart, without scoffing at me or dismissing me as though not worth his time. Not only him, but his wife and twenty-year-old daughter also appreciated my work. I could tell that their appreciation was genuine; then my friend also followed me on my SoundCloud.
This is a good thing. I'll take the good with the bad, as my dad always used to say. I don't know why I get hung up trying to please everybody. The truth is that I don't have the female singers yet. I also don't have the exact accompaniment down yet, to be heard by the singers, and support them. This, what you're hearing today, comes close. What I'm hoping is that I can overlook the cynical voice of opposition enough to keep moving forward. My hope for the week is simply this. I would like for the much-needed singers to emerge at around about the time I'm finished with this instrumental accompaniment. In any case, it makes no sense to drop the accompaniment as a project and look full-force for the singers, if when I find them, I don't have a complete accompaniment for their use.
In case anyone's wondered, I'm still in the land of the living, and I have not yet dropped off the face of the planet. I realized earlier today that it's been nine days since I've posted. I was planning to delay this post until I had completed the piano-vocal score to the third musical number in Eden in Babylon, the song called The Very Same World. But then I realized that even the completion of that score will only reflect a far greater pleasure — one that has already made itself manifest in my experience, and quite unexpectedly, at that.
But hearing the sound of that Steinway, I'm eager to at least try to play them on the church piano, which is a Baldwin grand. Once I have the music written out, it will be much easier to do so. All I'll have to do is change hats and read it – as though it were somebody else's music, and not my own. I honestly think this process will fascinate me enough, that the tedium I'd earlier dreaded will no longer be a legitimate threat. More likely, this current fascination will morph into a gigantic labor of love.
So, I'm in the final formatting stages of "Same World" tonight. Our church secretary said I could sent the pdf file to her, and she would print it out for me in the morning. Then I'm going to examine the hard copy, pencil in any adjustments, and print out a final version. My goal is to have both "Same World" and Heart Song scored by next Friday, so I can take them down to the Open Mike, where I just might meet some interested singers for the project.
What physical nutrition I lack is made up for in the spiritual nutrition with which this music is feeding my soul.
No wonder they bipolarized me! But would I have it any other way? Probably not. They can bipolarize me till the cows come home. When I take care of my soul, the rest of me takes care of itself.

HISTORY AND ARCHITECTURE
Georgian Country House
Francis Jackson, an officer in Cromwell's army, received a grant of land in north Mayo in the 1650's. He lived first in the castle in Crossmolina and later built a house on the shores of Lough Conn, but the location of this first house is not known.
The present house appears to be a classic Irish Georgian country house of medium size. However one of its most interesting architectural features is that it is in fact one house built onto another, older, house.
This older house, described as a fortified house on the shores of Lough Conn, was built sometime between 1740 and 1750 by George Jackson, great grandson of Francis Jackson. It was a tall (three stories over basement) single gabled building of five bays. This house is perfectly preserved as it is incorporated into the existing house. Behind the Georgian reception rooms and staircase the joining to the old house is clearly visible.
The front part of the house was added in the 1790's by George Jackson's son, also and confusingly called George (they are known in the family as George One and George Two) The addition was structurally complete by 1798 and it is known that some damage was done to the house during the French invasion and rebellion of that year. It is a two story house with five bay entrance front. While quite plain outside the house contains some elegant late Georgian plaster work, and a spiral staircase leading up to an oval landing. The front reception rooms have friezes of sphinxes and foliage, and in the drawing room the original silk Adam design wallpaper survives, having faded from pale blue to mushroom pink.
Today the house is substantially unchanged. George Two's granddaughter, Madeleine, inherited the house and lands in the 1830's. She married her cousin, Mervyn Pratt, and together they set about restoring the, by that time, neglected house and creating new gardens within the old garden walls. This work was continued by their son Joseph and his wife, Ina. However there was very little money available so no further building or major alterations were carried out during the 19th century.
Joseph Pratt's son Mervyn lived in the house until his death in 1950. He never married and his life's work was the garden. His mother had died in 1910 and from that date the house was kept in repair but nothing else was touched. His father died in 1929 but had handed the property over to him some years earlier. In 1950 Enniscoe was inherited by Mervyn's cousin, Jack Nicholson. Jack Nicholson was a Professor of Veterinary Medicine and head of the Veterinary College of Ireland, his wife, Patita, was a member of the Bourke family from Heathfield House, Ballycastle, Co Mayo. They were never able to realise their ambition to live full time at Enniscoe. Jack Nicholson died in 1950, Patita died in 1998. Today Enniscoe is the home of their daughter, Susan Kellett, her son DJ Kellett and his wife Colette Kellett

Fibromyalgia is a condition wherein a person suffering from it experiences widespread chronic pain and fatigue. Since there are many symptoms of fibromyalgia, there are also a number of treatment options available.
Medications are the first line of treatment. There are different types of medication for treating fibromyalgia.
One of the symptoms of fibromyalgia is depression. And for this, tricyclic anti-depressants which include Amitriptyline, Nortriptyline and Doxepin are commonly used for its treatment. Here we look at Nortriptyline.
Nortriptyline is a tricyclic antidepressant that affects chemicals(neurotransmitters) in the brain that may become unbalanced. Nortriptyline is used to treat symptoms of depression.
It is believed to enhance a person's mood and feelings of well-being, relieve anxiety and tension and increase your energy level.
Anti-depressants are medications that stop pain messages from getting to your brain. There are three different categories of anti-depressants.
These are tricyclic antidepressants, serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). Each category works in different ways.
Does Nortriptyline work on fibromyalgia patients?
The most commonly used medications to treat fibromyalgia is the tricyclic anti-depressants which include nortriptyline.
According to a study published in the US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, the use of nortriptyline medication has shown some improvement for people suffering from fibromyalgia.
It studied the efficacy and tolerability of amitriptyline and nortriptyline in a Brazilian population with fibromyalgia.
The study took a total of 118 fibromyalgia patients and was randomly assigned into three groups (Amitriptyline, Nortriptyline, and Placebo). All the patients were given 25 mg of the assigned medication treatment at bedtime for eight weeks.
The study revealed that all the three groups reported improvement in their symptoms after eight weeks of treatment with little side effects being reported.
How to take nortriptyline medication?
It is important to understand the use of nortriptyline for anyone who wishes to start the medication. Before you start nortriptyline medication you have to consult your doctor.
Nortriptyline medication is usually taken by mouth. There is, however, a liquid form which needs to be carefully measured.
Measuring the dose is very important and one needs to use a special measuring spoon since household spoon may not get you the correct dose.
The dosage of nortriptyline is based on certain individual's condition and response to treatment. Doctors usually recommend one to four times daily. It starts with a low dose and gradually increases.
The nortriptyline medication will take time and will not work right away. It is possible to see some benefits within a week but it may take up to four weeks to feel the full effect.
The usual adult dosage for depression is 25 mg to 150 mg a day that is divided into doses. For an elderly person, it is recommended 10 mg to 75 mg a day in divided doses.
For a person who is in between the age of 13 years to 18 years, 30mg to 50 mg a day divided into three or four doses. The maximum dose for this age group is 150 mg a day.
To minimize the side effects of dizziness, it is recommended to get up slowly when rising from a sitting or lying position.
For a dry mouth, one can eat sugarless candy or chew sugarless gum. To prevent constipation, it is important to maintain a diet rich in fiber and drink plenty of water, and exercise.
Consult your doctor immediately if you experience any of these rare but serious side effects.
It is also important for a person on nortriptyline medication to note that nortriptyline may increase serotonin which may, in turn, lead to a very serious condition called serotine syndrome or serotonin toxicity.
Therefore, it is of utmost importance that you tell your doctor about all the other medications that you are taking.
Some symptoms of serotonin syndrome include fast heartbeat, hallucinations, loss of coordination, severe dizziness, severe nausea or vomiting or diarrhea, twitching muscles, unexplained fever, and unusual agitation.
It may also cause some allergic reaction such as rash, itching, swelling of the face, tongue or throat, severe dizziness, and trouble breathing. If such allergic reactions occur, consult your doctor immediately.
A person taking nortriptyline medication should avoid some foods or drinks which may interact with the drug. You should avoid alcohol since nortriptyline can increase the effects of alcohol.
Grapefruit and grapefruit juice may also interact with nortriptyline and lead to unwanted side effects.
Therefore, it is also important to discuss with your doctor on what foods can be eaten or what cannot be while on nortriptyline medication.
This medication may also affect your thinking ability or reactions. Therefore, do not drive or do anything that requires you to be alert such as working with machines.
Nortriptyline can also make you sunburn more easily, therefore, a protective clothing and sunscreen may be necessary when you are outdoors.
I have been taking 75mg of Nortriptyline for approx 4 years now and it changed my life. I take it at night and now sleep well at night, my pain levels have decreased. My GP has been fantastic, he has also recently introduced Gabapentin. Although I still suffer brain fog and some pain symptoms, I have been able to continue working. I know others are not so fortunate.
I too take Nortriptyline and as Hayley at night time. Once I've taken it I know I can't drive as I get confused easily and the brain fog rolls in.
My sleep pattern is still erratic with vivid dreams punctuating the fractured sleep I do get.
Full time work is impossible although I've now found an employer that can cope with providing extra support at short notice (an early morning text message) and is pleased to be able to use my experience as well as ticking the disability inclusion box for their staff!
On the odd occasion that I've run out of tablets, thanks to the chemist and a bank holiday, I have a marked improvement with the Nortriptyline. If not taken the next day is an unbearable pain filled unending blur.
Once taken again it takes a few days to build up and return to my new normal.
I've always been suspicious of taking medication long term and in particular antidepressants but thanks to my Doctor for the firm persistence I can function as a mother, wife, home maker and sometimes employee.
Ruth, thanks for your comment. I have been in dire straights and at wits end. My full time job is now part time and I struggle even with that. I struggle with getting through each day. I struggle to keep up with home life, family time, and just having a life. I hardly recognize myself, I'm barely even a shell of who I was just a few years ago. The fatigue, loss of energy, brain fog and pain have overwhelmed me. I've tried now 5 different types of medications with no relief and but the added misery of bad side effects. I'm not a fan of taking long term medications (especially if they really aren't helping) , nor do I want to live the rest of my life taking pain killers and muscle relaxers. My doctor, a rheumatologist has suggested I try nortriptyline with gabapentin. Your comment gives me hope that this might be what finally helps me get some of my life back. I so want to function again.


To achieve high levels of learning for all, the Utah Rural Schools Association (URSA) collectively commits to advocate for equity, adequacy, and access to high quality services and supports for Utah's students and educators living and serving in rural LEA'S.
The organization recognizes and works collaboratively with education, government, and private organizations to meet the challenges that rural school districts face in providing access to services and support that may be more readily available in non-rural districts.
Quality educators are critical to a quality education for all students.
Competitive salary and benefits are key to resolving the shortage of quality educators.
Remote locations and small schools requiring multiple teacher endorsements significantly complicate the hiring and retention of quality educators.
Small demographically separated rural schools need additional per student funds to provide equitable and adequate services and support for students and educators.
Base plus formulas are a successful way to provide minimal services in small rural schools.
Due to the economy of scale, the smaller the school and district, the more additional per student funding is needed to provide adequate and equitable services.
All Utah students need a 21st Century education including technology, career and college readiness.
Equity and equalization are critical to adequate educational access for all Utah students.
Educators, like all professions, need PD to perform at the highest levels.
Districts need funding to provide PD for all educators.
PD Funding levels need to be restored to support highly effective educators.
Regional Service Centers provide accessible endorsements state wide using UETN and IVC systems.
These pillars of advocacy in behalf of Utah's rural students and educators will drive the work of the URSA organization. It is critical that we keep at the forefront of our efforts the need to provide adequate and equitable services for all: fulfilling our mission to support educators as they work to meet the educational goals and needs of their students.
