Check out this story on independentmail.com: https://www.independentmail.com/story/news/local/northeast-georgia/2016/04/27/toccoa-leaders-approve-lease-agreement-renovations-for-alewine-park/88669426/
TOCCOA — The Rapids Futbol Club soccer group will continue to use Alewine Park for its soccer programs.
The Toccoa City Commission on Monday unanimously approved a new lease agreement with the club for the park.
The city and club have agreed to a one-year lease that would automatically renew for two additional years, said City Manager Billy Morse.
"The club will have access to two fields maintained by the city," Morse said. "The city will pay all utility costs. The club will have access to the bathrooms located in the concessions building. The club will also insure their players."
The lease also includes a fee that the club will now pay the city, Morse said.
"The fee the club will pay is $1,000 per season," he said. "They have two seasons, so that would be $2,000 per year."
The club also will not be allowed to sublet the facility without city approval.
City commissioners also on Monday approved renovations for the concessions building at Alewine Park.
The projected cost for planned repairs is $11,444.55.
City officials approved using Shellnut Construction to reroof the concessions building and two picnic shelters at Alewine Park at a cost of $3,684,90.
The other $7,759.65 will be paid to Ivester Construction to renovate the concession building. Those renovations will include new metal doors, interior and exterior paint, replacement of toilets and light fixtures, and repair of all damaged or rotten areas, Morse said.
He is recommending that the city use a general fund renewal and extension reserve account to pay for the repairs.
The renovations are expected to start on the concessions building immediately so they can be done by Aug. 1, Morse said.

Kick off your weight-loss efforts beginning with breakfast. A study in the New England Journal of Medicine found that eating a serving of yogurt daily was associated with weight loss over the four-year study span. It may be that the good bacteria in yogurt gets your gut in shape, which may protect against weight gain. For best results, stick to plain, unsweetened yogurts and add your own healthful yogurt toppings—chopped-up fruit and nuts, cinnamon, nutmeg, or vanilla. Besides yogurt, these seven foods can boost your good gut bacteria even more!

When you want something pleasantly sweet, grab a handful of strawberries and blueberries. These fruits are rife with antioxidants called anthocyanins, which can keep the numbers on the scale from rising. Research from a 2016 issue of the British Medical Journal suggests that people who ate the most of these flavonoid-packed foods gained the least amount of weight over a 24-year period. You'll get all you need in a half-cup serving of berries a day. For a bigger boost, don't forget to eat peaches, grapes, and these eight other fruits packed with nutrients.

The 29th exhibition in the life of artist Pham Luc, who is often referred to as the Picasso of Vietnam, will take place in March 2017. All 75 paintings are based on the theme of "The Pulse of Spring" (Mạch Xuân) portraying springtime during periods of war, peace and the ambitions of soldier and painter. This is the first time such a unique exhibition is held in Vietnam, held from March 16 to April 30, 2017 on the 5 star, Emperor Cruises Halong – the first ever art cruise in Asia.
According to the artist, this exhibition conveys the message of what an eternal spring, and a desire for a democratic spring of happiness to the people of Vietnam. His paintings often present the activities of everyday life with simple content, with rich in historical and cultural meaning.
With different artistic creations, Pham Luc is a master of many genres including Impressionism, Post Impressionism, Abstract, Realism, and Surrealism, in a range a lot of mediums such as paper, porcelain, oil on rice sacks, lacquer, silk, and woodcarvings. The media, art dealers and art critics alike agree that Pham Luc is one of the most influential painters in Vietnamese contemporary arts, and his instantly recognizable artworks are famous internationally .
In this exhibition, the spring in Pham Luc's works is the linking of two centuries filled with vivid memories. Especially, a valuable sketch about war on paper, part of the collection of Pham Ha, was created in 1965 when Pham Luc was just twenty years old. It portrays his first memories of war and is of immense cultural value.
Several of the exhibited works detail the daily life of fishermen in Quang Ninh. The fish markets, fishing villages, and harbors are always bustling with buyers and sellers, along with the blue sea, white sand, sunshine and brown sails of the boats make for spectacular scenes. In particular, he draws many pictures of women, displaying their youthfulness, feminine beauty and nobility.
Spring is portrayed in three regions of Vietnam: the North, Central Coast and South of the country. New Year paintings, Spring Festivals and occasions during this season are prominent, and viewers will love a particular painting entitled "Tết độc lập Ất Mão, 1975" ( Independent Spring, 1975) when the North and South unification took place.
From past to present, spring is always colorful and awakens joy and happiness in the heart of every individual. These emotions are created by the proliferation of all species and a new cycle of life. Spring is the time of the Lunar New Year and numerous festivals, and is a time for family reunion. As a result, it is considered the most sacred time of year in Vietnam.
Memories of past springtimes combine with the grace and poise of such a variety of depictions in Pham Luc's works to inspire emotions in the viewer of prosperity, freedom, happiness to everyone and nation.
The soldier and painter, Pham Luc was born in 1943 in Hue. After 35 years serving his country, he now lives in Hanoi. He is known for oil, lacquer, gouache and watercolor works with many different themes. So far, he has organized nearly 30 domestic and foreign exhibitions. Many of his works have been purchased for the painting collections of international collectors.


On 18 April the first States-General of the Flemish development cooperation took place in Brussels. This meeting was intended as an open dialogue on how Flanders can integrate the Sustainable Development Goals into the Flemish development cooperation. Minister-president Bourgeois invited 120 stakeholders of the Flemish development cooperation for a debate. Keynote speakers Erik Solheim (Chairman of OECD / DAC) and Patrick Gomes (Secretary General of the group of ACP countries) provided the global perspective.
On 21 April, Minister-president Geert Bourgeois met the President of Mozambique, Filipe Nyusi, in Brussels. On their agenda was the approval of the third country strategy for development cooperation in Mozambique. With this new strategy Flanders commits itself to an annual grant of 5 million euro for health care in Mozambique for the period 2016 – 2020. Both Governments make the explicit choice to focus these resources on adolescents, with an emphasis on adolescent girls (10-19 years). Mozambican teenage girls are very vulnerable in terms of sexual and reproductive health. They have a high risk of catching hiv-infection and of maternal mortality.

Save the seeds from your pumpkins this year and make roasted pumpkin seeds for a healthy, crunchy snack. If you're carving a Jack-O-Lantern, then don't waste the goodness inside, follow this easy step-by-step guide, and you'll be rewarded with a special treat!
Whether you're carving spooky Halloween pumpkin faces or making homemade pumpkin puree from scratch, don't forget to save those edible seeds inside! I had a fond childhood memory of my elementary school teacher showing our class how to roast pumpkin seeds in a toaster oven after making our Jack-O-Lanterns. This healthy snack recipe is easy to make at home and a fun project to get the kiddos involved.
Don't throw out the seeds! Make a tasty and healthy snack in a few simple steps to add flavor and irresistible texture to each bite. Pumpkin seeds are composed of two parts; the cream-colored shell and the kernel or pepita which is olive green in color. Both are edible, so you can't go wrong roasting the whole seed and enjoying the maximum nutritional benefits.
Use a large spoon or ice cream scoop to remove the inside pulp, stringy fibers, and entangled raw seeds from the pumpkin. The seeds from carving pumpkins and pie pumpkins are edible. Depending on the size of your pumpkin, the more or less yield you will have. My pumpkin seed recipe uses a 3-pound pie pumpkin that I used to make homemade pumpkin puree for a delicious pumpkin pie.
Add the seeds to a colander, wash and remove any pulp left on the seeds. It's okay if some flesh remains. Make sure to dry the seeds as much as possible in between a towel. This process will help to crisp up the seeds during roasting. Any excess moisture will create steam in the oven and prolong the cooking time.
Toss the seeds in a bowl with olive oil, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Make sure to separate and spread the seeds evenly on a lightly greased cookie sheet for even roasting.
The seasoned pumpkin seeds get roasted at a moderate heat of 350°F for about 20 to 30 minutes, tossing the seeds every 10 minutes to encourage even browning. When the seeds give a nutty aroma and golden brown color, they are ready!
Ease: Since you're already taking the time to cut and remove the seeds, why not pre-heat the oven and quickly make a snack!
Versatility: I'm sure your pantry is already filled with seasonings to create unique and tasty combinations. You can use any seasoning mix, like some chili powder for heat, curry powder or cumin for a more earthy flavor, or even a sweet taste with cinnamon and maple syrup. Feel free to use vegetable oil, butter or coconut oil instead of olive oil.
Nutrition: Eating the whole pumpkin seed provides fiber and an excellent source of zinc from the shell and the nutrients phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and iron. According to the USDA National Nutrient Database, in 1 ounce (28 grams) of pumpkin seeds provides approximately 126 calories, 5.3 grams of protein, 5.5 grams of fat mainly from unsaturated sources, 15 grams of carbohydrates and 5 grams of total dietary fiber.
If you're a fan of pumpkin seeds, I'd love to hear your flavor combinations and uses in the comments section below!
Do not waste the seeds from pumpkins, they can be made into a healthy and delicious snack! Learn how to roast pumpkin seeds with this step by step guide.
Roasted pumpkin seeds can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
The recipe can be easily doubled or tripled depending on how many seeds your pumpkin yields.
« What is Pumpkin Puree?
Perfect timing Masooma! Yes, add any spices you like and enjoy the snack 🙂 I bet the boys would love to help you! We are doing great, miss you all!
What can we use besides kosher salt?
Do you have sea salt? Garlic salt would work as well. If you use table salt I would add half as much.
Every fall I struggle with how to do this. As usual your recipe was perfect. Thanks so much Jessica!
I've found that cooking up the job lot-flesh and seeds brings the seeds easily to the top of the pan with a bit less faffing about separating everything and sure looking forward to trying your recipe, though will be using Cornish Sea Salt.
Great simple recipe! Definitely the hardest part was separating the flesh and seeds. Ended up soaking the seeds in the sink. The seeds float and the flesh sinks/ suspends. Only had to skim the top of the water then, but I had to let the seeds dry over night. That actually seemed to work for the better as it provided another opportunity for a family afternoon activity for the weekend (having carved the jack-o-lanterns the previous afternoon). Mine seemed to be done after twenty minutes, but kept them in until closer to thirty. They have a slightly burnt taste, but it was a lot of fun! Thanks for posting.
I appreciate the tips, Jeremy! Do you think the slightly burnt taste from the cooking time or seasonings?
We just made your recipe. Awesome! So at 20 minutes they were perfect for those who like the seed but not the shell. At 30, throw the whole seed in and eat it all! Both were perfect! Thanks!!
Thank you so much for your feedback on cook time and temperature Martina!
I do a mix of Tony Chacheres and brown sugar and cinnamon. Yummm.
Oh, I'm loving the sweet and savory combination Amanda, yum!
Ever tried other squash seeds?
Making these now with my 11 year old. He loves to bake.
I rinse my seeds then let them soak overnight in 1/4 cup of melted butter and 1/4 cup of Worcestershire sauce. I do NOT dry them overnight. Then I spread them on a cookie sheet and bake them on 325 for about 30 minutes until a medium brown, "stirring" them often. Delicious!!!
Wow, that sounds savory and delicious!
After carving the seeds, I forgot I left them in an air tight Tupperware for a week, not in the fridge. I cleaned them up pretty good even tho the smell was rather vile. 4 cups worth of seeds. I let them dry over night, 2 nights actually. After the 1st night, they still smelled kinda funky and still damp. Today they smell fine and are dry. Anyhow, is it worth still roasting to eat or am I putting my health in jeopardy?
Hi There! Although it sounds like a labor of love, if the sounds smelled sort of rotten or moldy, I would err on the side of caution and throw them out. Lot's of great deals on pumpkins right now at the store!
If I left my seeds out on the. Ounter doe the weekend, will they still be okay to roast? Thanks!
Hi Rebecca- Were the seeds cleaned and dried when left out? If they still are pulpy, I would not use it and get some new seeds. Thanks!
This recipe turned out so good and it was very easy. Thank you for sharing!!
Do you boil the seeds first?
Hi Kenzi- No need to boil the seeds.
I love the addition of the lime Nathan! Thank you for your feedback.
Curry powder, cinnamon, and coconut aminos!!
I loved the taste of these but they were a bit "woody" I roasted them til golden brown but maybe not long enough ! Or too long ! The seeds were fresh , dried in a towel after washing them.
Hi Sherry! What was the texture of pumpkin seeds? Did they seem crisp enough? Paprika has an earthy flavor, so you think that is the woody taste you perceived?
And a sweet batch with maple syrup, cinnamon and a dash of salt.
Oh I must try these tasty variations Tessa!
This recipe is a nice mix with the Olive oil, garlic powder and paprika. My daughter wants me to roast pumpkin seeds every year but its always hard to crack and eat the seed inside the shell….what's the best way to eat them?
Hi Christine- Enjoy them whole (no need to peel!). Otherwise, crack the seeds with your fingers at the narrowest part of the seed and then peel it back.
I made mine with olive oil, lawreys garlic salt, fresh ground black pepper, little bit of cumin and slap ya momma. They're amazing!
Oh wow, I'm going to have to give that combo a try!
Last year I forgot about my seeds and was bummed they got moldy when I remembered to get to them.
This year, our two pumpkins had seeds about the same size and your post inspired me to get baking pronto!
I rinsed and rinsed but the easiest method was floating handfuls in a warm bowl of water and scooped all the floating seeds up and drained them. Your tip to towel dry them was a good reminder and my seeds toasted more quickly than I thought. 30 minutes was plenty toasty for ones on the sheet pan and I ate them shell and all! I had some in a casserole dish and they were less browned but easy to crack and eat.
I only used oil and kosher salt and with 3 cups worth, I can share with my dad.
I found this recipe quick fast after looking to do something with the seeds from our pumpkin. Very tasty I shall say 😁. My kids loved it and perfect shell crisp. My sister in law never had pumpkin seeds with the shell, but this roast made it a good experience for her. Awesome recipe!!
After washing the pumpkin seeds, I put them in a food dehydrator at 125 degrees for about 2 hours before adding the other ingredients and baking them. Turned out crispy and tasted great!
I used sea salt and roasted garlic and rosemary infused olive oil.
Thanks Jessica my first success at roasting pumpkin seeds, I'll never compost them again! Some of the variations in the comments sound good, I'll be trying some of those as well☺. I used home grown small sugar pumpkins, so many seeds!

Bruce Maxwell becomes first MLB player to kneel during national anthem

Oakland A's rookie catcher Bruce Maxwell, who earlier in the day profanely bashed President Donald Trump on Instagram, became the first major-league player to kneel during the National Anthem on Saturday before Oakland's game at the Coliseum.The product of a military family, Maxwell placed his hand on his heart and faced the flag during the anthem while taking a knee before the game against Texas.

Inaugural car show a big success
Local News Jim Windle • August 5, 2015 • Views 107 • Comments off Share
Scott Hill and friend Dave Tachauer from Simcoe collaborated on Townline Gas and Variety's inaugural car and Motorcycle show this past weekend. For a first time show, the event was well attended by the public and included around 50 vintage cars and 18 bikes. Photo by Jim Windle
SIX NATIONS — The humidity broke just in time for the Townline Gas and Variety's inaugural Car and Motorcycle Show on Townline Road, Saturday afternoon and early evening. Scott Hill, who owns the gas bar and variety store at Townline and Mohawk Road, hosted his first car show, but it will not be his last.
"I am very pleased with the turnout today," said Hill. "It's something I've wanted to do for a few years and this first time is just putting everything in place to do it, and everything just kinda came together."
There were more entrants and viewers than expected for a first time show with nearly 50 vintage cars and 18 bikes lined up with some show vehicles spilling into Townline Variety's own parking spaces.
Last summer, customer and friend, Dave Tachauer from Simcoe and Hill were having a coffee and he suggested Townline Gas and Variety host a car show.
"It didn't happen last year, but we tried it this summer," says Hill. "Dave travels the circuit and was a great help in the logistics and contacts needed to host a car show, so I didn't have to go into it blind."
There is a kind of fraternity amongst vintage car and bike people and most of those on the circuit have come to know and make friendships amongst themselves, trading stories and leads on vintage car parts and restoration techniques.
But there is also a practical side to owning vintage cars. Investing in vintage cars is one of the safest places to put one's money, since, like art, it will always appreciate despite the market, and one can actually insure the vehicle for more than it's worth.
However, most owners do it for the joy of sharing a mutual passion with other like minded restorers and collectors.
"It's a passion," says Tachauer. "These are respectable people and they love to show up. It's a perfect venue and a perfect day."
Hill made a point of not charging any kind of entry fee for Saturday's show.
"These guys put a lot of blood, sweat and money into these cars and I just don't think it makes any sense that they have to pay to show them," he says.
Town Line Gas and Variety put up the prize money for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for cars and for motorcycles.
The show was open to all cars and motorcycles and it's the people who attend who voted.
"We're just giving back to the community with this event and to our customers," says Hill. "This just makes my day and I am excited to see these cars."

Law To Give 40% NASS Seats To Youth Underway – Omo-Agege
Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo Agege.
The Senate is working currently on a bill to set aside 30 per cent of seats at the National Assembly and 40 per cent of seats at states' houses of assembly for young people.
This was made known by deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege, on Friday in Lokoja during a symposium to mark the 46th birthday of Gov. Yahaya Bello of Kogi State.
The theme of the symposium was: "Insecurity in Nigeria and the Role of Youths."
According to Omo-Agege "If youths are given such an opportunity, they will not have the time to participate in protests when they will be seated at executive council meetings."
Omo-Agege, who is also the chairman of the Senate Committee on Constitution Amendment said once the law was put in place, "youth in the country would become more engaged and focus less on crimes and criminal activities".
He went on to extoll Governor Bello, noting that the country would like to create more young people like the governor to occupy top positions in governance.
Despite growing evidence of youth activism and mobilisation, Nigerian youths have yet to achieve the level of inclusion required to gain representation in politics.
With the signing into law of the Not Too Young To Run Bill in 2018, by President Muhammadu Buhari, this trend seems to be changing as youths are beginning to see the importance of their role in governance.
Among other changes to the electoral law, it reduced the age for presidential candidates from 40 to 35 and for House of Representatives candidates from 30 to 25 years.
As a result of the Bill, there is a positive trend in youth participation, with youth candidacy increasing from 21% in 2015 to 34.2% in the 2019 elections.
Despite these changes, the number of youths aged 18–29 (based on the youth definition given by the National Youth Policy organisation), voted into elective positions in Nigeria is less than 1%.
Further, there are no youth in the new cabinet formed by President Buhari, and neither is there a youth in the National Assembly.
This is despite youths making up over 67% of registered voters, on average, which means that whoever they decide to vote for is sure of winning the election.
Poor funding and high costs of nomination forms for various offices remain a major obstacle to youth representation in politics.
Few Nigerian youths are financially buoyant to pay these sums and, since donors and godfathers usually prefer older men whom they believe have the chances of winning, young people are naturally disenfranchised.

Dr. Philip Cross has over 20 years of experience as an economist in academia, government, and consulting. He specializes in econometrics—combining statistical analysis with economic theory to draw inferences about economic outcomes. His consulting experience includes testifying as an expert in a major class-action litigation involving healthcare provision reimbursement, preparing expert opinions in an antitrust matter and in a lost wages matter, and analyzing the compensation structure for equity partners in a large professional services firm. In addition, Dr. Cross has considerable experience providing expert support in class actions and antitrust cases as well as general consulting for businesses and governments.
Dr. Cross's experience includes:
Served as an expert witness for defendant in a class-action litigation between a health insurer and a group of healthcare providers over alleged claim under-reimbursement. Submitted an expert report outlining flaws in opposing expert's method of ascertaining the class by illustrating how data available to opposing expert was insufficient to accurately identify which healthcare providers were members of the class. Issued a written declaration under penalty of perjury and testified at deposition.
Retained as an expert witness in an antitrust litigation between a large automotive manufacturer and one of its suppliers. Refuted the opposing expert's claim that sales data supported the allegation that the parts supplier conspired to raise prices during the relevant period. Demonstrated that opposing expert's analysis was based on a simplistic and flawed application of pricing dynamics by presenting an improved model of price dynamics, which demonstrated no statistically supportable evidence of a conspiracy.
Testified as an expert in a wrongful death matter. Submitted an expert report estimating economic damages due to lost wages based on projections of future earnings and recent income history.
Retained as a consulting expert to provide economic analysis of the compensation structure for equity partners at a large professional services firm. Constructed a regression model of compensation as a function of productivity, which was also employed to show an absence of gender- and age-discrimination in compensation and promotion policies.
Worked with third-party survey firms to design and implement on-line surveys to elicit consumer preferences for various product attributes. The resulting analysis of the survey data afforded reliable opinions about liability and estimation of damages in product-liability litigations.
Assisted financial appraisers and auditors in estimating balance sheet and cash-flow accounts through statistical modelling based on representative samples, which significantly improved the accuracy of payment frequency and default rates.
Dr. Cross holds a Ph.D. in Economics and an M.A. in Economics from the University of Wisconsin. He also holds a B.Com (Hons.) in Economics from the University of New South Wales. He is a member of the American Economic Association, American Statistical Association, the Econometric Society, and the American Bar Association.
Dr. Cross was previously an Assistant Professor at Georgetown University, has taught at Johns Hopkins University, and has held an affiliate position at the University of Melbourne. He has held consulting positions with AlixPartners, Berkeley Research Group, Exponent, Inc., and Deloitte Financial Advisory Services. He was previously a Personnel & Policy Consultant with the U.S. Department of Defense.


This person changed the theme color from blue to green, replaced the extension icon and also has removed the help menu of the extension.
He took the latest version of my extension (there are about 25 on my extension versions page) without even the slightest improvement.
Like many other firefox extensions, my addon has the Mozilla Public License, version 2.0. My knowledge of legal issues is very limited, but I believe that even under the terms of this license such cloning is not tolerable.
Apparently, this person does not have an email address to contact with.
On the other hand, he apparently does some form of marketing and now his clone has even slightly more users than me.
Perhaps he is targeting donations in the future or something like that.
I'm not so comfortable with this situation and my opinion is that this extension should be removed from AMO.
Hi @gelprec, sorry to hear about this. Could you please report the infringement by filing a DMCA Notice with Mozilla's Legal team?
I have read your URL but I'm not really familiar with all these legal things and I'm not sure I understand the steps there.
I don't have any sort of electronic signature. It's enough then to sign somewhere with my real name, take a picture and send it as a physical signature?
Is the extension URL of my extension on AMO sufficient here?
Is there something on my developer page which could be used as evidence that I am the author of the extension and not someone else?
Obviously I have access to my own developer page or to the email address associated with the extension.
This email address could be interpreted as a digital signature?
Sorry for all these dummy questions.
It should be sufficient to sign your email with your legal name, your address, and your phone number.
No further information is necessary, but if you'd like to include screenshots of your work vs. the infringing work, that would be fine.

Kevin Smith's Final Film, HIT SOMEBODY, Is Too Big To Be Contained In One Movie | Birth.Movies.Death.
Kevin Smith will make HIT SOMEBODY a two-part movie because you just can't contain all that hockey in one film.
David Fincher continues making motion pictures in just one part. Terence Malick may take years to get a film finished, but he is still constrained to one movie per film. The Coen Bros have yet to make a two-parter. But Kevin Smith needs two feature length motion pictures to tell his hockey story, Hit Somebody.
Apparently Smith found the material too overwhelming for one movie, and so he's going to split his tale of a Canadian hockey player (based on a Warren Zevon song that is five minutes and twenty-two seconds long) in half. The first movie will be the tale of the main character growing up playing hockey, while the second half will follow him in the NHL.
Four hours of hockey movie! Four hours of hockey dramedy. Will it be as good as or better than Slap Shot? Who knows; it will, however, certainly be about twice as long.
This is supposed to be Kevin Smith's last film. Maybe he's going to keep announcing more parts to it so that he can keep on making movies. I look forward to Hit Somebody Part VII: Jay and Silent Bob Hit Somebody.
I'll never watch it again, but I will keep it. I'll keep it right on my desk, as a constant reminder that a bloated sense of self-importance is the most unattractive quality in a person or their work.


Early December is among my family's favorite times to visit Walt Disney World. We combine a celebration of my husband's birthday with a chance to take in all the holiday happenings throughout the parks and resorts. In our experience of visiting during that week over the last 20 years, we have found crowds to be low to medium, as you described.
I've searched numerous places and I can't find any special events in the area that would seem out of the ordinary. I just booked our room for that week and found a decent selection, so I'm hoping for your sake and mine that the crowds are as we have come to expect that week.
Thanks for visiting the Disney Parks Moms Panel. Wishing you a magical December vacation!


New Moon horoscope: How will the November New Moon in Scorpio affect YOU today?
THE New Moon in Scorpio today is a powerful astrological sign of change and new beginnings – but how will this affect your horoscope?
The New Moon will vanish from the skies tonight to mark the birth of a brand new lunar cycle.
Because of this, astrologers associate New Moon energies with rebirth and starting from scratch.
Tonight, the transit Moon passes through the zodiacal sign of Scorpio – the eighth star sign in astrological charts.
This celestial combination is expected to be good for healing, self-discovery and passion over the next few days.
According to astrologer Heather Eland of Beyond Astrology, the New Moon will feel like a big "cosmic reset" for those born under the sign of Scorpio.
The effects of this energy will likely affect you in all areas of your life.
She said: "This is a great time to focus on what you love, what you need, what you want, what you desire in terms of play, in terms of hobbies, interests, passions, creativity.
"Its going to be in connection with your fifth house through Neptune which is transiting your fifth house right now.
"Whatever you want to start for yourself if you want to reinvent yourself, reinvent your self-image and do something different, change something.
But not everyone believes the New Moon is an entirely harmonious aspect ruling the skies today.
Astrologer Steve Judd, of Steve Judd Astrology, argued the New Moon itself is "pretty innocuous" but the effects of the New Moon horoscope are much more important.
He said: "The horoscope of the New Moon has an exact in-conjunction from Jupiter to Uranus.
"An in-conjunction is 150-degrees – sometimes called a quincunx.
"It's what I describe as the itch you can't scratch. It's a niggle, it's a frustration, it's a problem that's too big to be ignored but too small to be sorted out.
The astrologer said Jupiter's basic principles govern truth, transparency, honesty and philosophy.
Uranus, on the other hand, symbolises "unequivocal change" which can be chaotic and unpredictable or stimulating and exciting.
Together, the combination might be problematic because Jupiter in Scorpio inconjunct Uranus will want to "dig deep" and bring out secrets, narcissistic traits and the more unpleasant things you are trying to hide.

Het 5de Regiment Lansiers (5° Lansiers, 5L) was een Belgisch cavalerie-regiment ontstaan in het prille begin van de Eerste Wereldoorlog.

Het 5° Lansiers (5L) heeft zich vanaf zijn ontstaan al direct onderscheiden op het slagveld, vandaar ook de leuze: "AB ORIGINE FORTIS".

Kort na het einde van WOI is 5L ontbonden, het werd het heropgericht aan het begin van de Koude Oorlog. Na toetreding tot de NAVO moest België noodgedwongen zijn strijdkrachten uitbreiden.Eind jaren 60 werd het opnieuw ontbonden, de Tradities en Standaard worden nog jarenlang toegewezen aan opleidings- en vormingseenheden van de Cavalerie.
In 1995 worden de Standaard en Tradities overgedragen aan het Territoriaal Regiment Lansiers - Provincie Limburg. Een nieuw opgerichte reserve-eenheid, verantwoordelijk voor de militaire verdediging van de provincie Limburg.

Geschiedenis

1870 – 1914 (kolonisatie van Afrika en de eenwording van de Duitse Staat)
Op 11 november 1913 wordt bij Koninklijk Besluit nummer 181bis, beslist tot een grote reorganisatie van het Leger op vredesvoet. Daarin wordt onder meer voorzien in de oprichting van nieuwe Cavalerie-eenheden, namelijk het 5de Lansiers, en het 3de, 4de en 5de Jagers te Paard. Op het ogenblik van de mobilisatie zullen enkel het 5de Lansiers en 4de Jagers te Paard zijn opgericht. Een Ministeriële onderrichting schrijft voor dat uitsluitend elitemanschappen mogen worden aangeduid voor het 5de Lansiers, hierdoor is het al vanaf haar ontstaan op 13 december 1913 één der puikste regimenten van het Leger. Het 5de Lansiers is dus voorbestemd tot de rol van elite-eenheid binnen een prestigekorps. De manschappen voor het 5de Lansiers worden onder meer geleverd door de bestaande Cavalerieregimenten en komen hoofdzakelijk van het 1ste, 2de, 3de, 4de Lansiers, het 2de Gidsen, het 2de en 4de Jagers te Paard en de Gendarmerie. Samen met het 4de Lansiers vormt het de 2de Brigade van de Cavaleriedivisie, de 1ste Brigade bestaat uit het 1ste en het 2de Gidsen.

1914 – 1918 (Eerste Wereldoorlog)
Op de ochtend van 4 augustus 1914 valt Duitsland Nederland binnen. Vier dagen later, op 8 augustus 1914, is de Cavaleriedivisie, onder bevel van Luitenant-generaal L. de Witte, in de streek van Sint-Truiden verspreid. Op 12 augustus 1914 wordt het 5de Lansiers opgesteld ten zuidoosten van Loksbergen bij Halen. Daar op het slagveld, zal de korpscommandant, Kolonel Xhardez, uit handen van Luitenant-generaal L. de Witte, commandant van de Ruiterijdivisie, in naam van Z.M. Koning Albert I, de Standaard ontvangen. Een gebeurtenis die wellicht enig is in de Belgische militaire geschiedenis. Het 5de Lansiers telt op dat ogenblik 30 officieren en 502 onderofficieren en manschappen.

Haelen
Op 12 augustus 1914, omstreeks 9 uur, worden het 3de en het 4de Eskadron van het 5de Lansiers, afgestegen opgesteld ten oosten van Loksbergen, aan de rechterflank van het 4de Lansiers. Het 1ste Eskadron is ingezet ten noorden van Loksbergen, aan de voet van de Mettenberg, ter verdediging van de artilleriestelling van het 1ste Artillerie te Paard. De Divisie houdt het 2de Eskadron aanvankelijk in reserve. Wanneer omstreeks 13u30 de vijand zijn stormlopen te paard meer naar het zuiden (Velpen) verlegt, zal het 2de Eskadron, eveneens te voet, in versterking tussen het 1ste en het 3de Eskadron van het 4de Lansiers worden ingezet. Door de hardnekkige weerstand, waarbij het Regiment Karabiniers/Cyclisten een speciale vermelding verdient, slagen de Duitsers er niet in de artilleriestelling op de Mettenberg in te nemen. Acht vergeefse aanvallen, van vier Ruiterijregimenten, later afgewisseld door infanterieaanvallen, zorgen voor zware verliezen bij het 2de Duitse Cavaleriecorps van Generaal von der Marwitz. Tegen de avond breekt de vijand dan ook het gevecht af en trekt zich 15 km ten oosten van de Gete terug. Het 5de Lansiers, dat 4 doden en 27 gewonden betreurt, wordt voor dit roemvolle wapenfeit op de dagorders van het Leger vermeld en zijn nieuwe Standaard zal voortaan, in gulden letters, zijn eerste citatie dragen: "HAELEN".

Antwerpen
Vanaf 20 augustus 1914 maakt het 5de Lansiers deel uit van de verdedigingstroepen van Antwerpen. Op 25 augustus worden talrijke patrouilles en verkenningen uitgevoerd in de streek van Beersel, Werchter en Tremelo. Op 26 augustus wordt de vijand belet zijn plannen door te zetten te Geel, Diest, Aarschot, Putte, Kortenaken en Schriek. Op 9 september valt het 5de Lansiers de vijand aan in Langdorp en in de omgeving van Rillaar en Diest. Op 10 september krijgt het 5de Lansiers, versterkt met een compagnie Cyclisten, de opdracht het kasteel van Linden in te nemen. Nog verscheidene opdrachten van storen van de vijand worden met succes volbracht. De vermelding "ANTWERPEN" op de Standaard wordt toegekend ter erkenning van de moed en de heldhaftigheid waarvan het 5de Regiment Lansiers de bewijzen heeft geleverd tijdens de belegering van Antwerpen.

Loopgravenoorlog aan de IJzer

Tijdens de slag aan de IJzer is het 5de Regiment Lansiers aanvankelijk opgesteld te Stadenberg om er, in verbinding met het Franse Leger, de rechterflank van het Belgische Leger te helpen dekken. Het onderscheidt zich tijdens de talrijke contacten met de vijand, hierbij worden vele staaltjes van heldenmoed getoond. In de nacht van 26 juli 1917 zorgt een patrouille, samengesteld uit Cavaleristen van het 4de en het 5de Lansiers, voor een bijna amusante anekdote. Op dat ogenblik belast met de kustwacht, maakt het de bemanning, van een te Wissant (Frankrijk) gestrande vijandelijke Duitse duikboot, krijgsgevangen.

Reigersvliet
Op 6 maart 1918 begint het gevecht aan de "Reigersvliet". De Reigersvliet is een gracht van 1,5 tot 2 meter breed en 1 meter diep, die te Stuivekenskerke in de kleine Beverdijk vloeit, welke zich op haar beurt in de IJzer werpt. "De Grote Wacht" van Stuivekenskerke bestaat uit twee loopgraven achter de Reigersvliet met een groep kleinere loopgraven die een bruggenhoofd vormden en verder 7 voorposten in een halve cirkelvorm over 1600 meter verspreid. Bij twee hardnekkige gevechten aan de Reigersvliet (6 en 18 maart 1918) verliest het 5de Lansiers 2/3 van zijn daar ingezette effectieven. Omwille van het moedige gedrag voegt zich de vermelding "REIGERSVLIET" bij op de Standaard.

Het Bevrijdingsoffensief
Het grote bevrijdingsoffensief wordt op 28 september 1918 ontketend en leidt uiteindelijk tot de wapenstilstand op 11 november 1918. Op die dag voert het 5de Lansiers zijn laatste oorlogsopdracht uit: een waarnemingsopdracht langs de Hollandse grens. Het 5de Regiment Lansiers, pas gevormd bij het uitbreken van de oorlog, mag er fier op zijn dat het de haar opgelegde taken steeds glorievol heeft vervuld. Haar Standaard, ontvangen op het Slagveld van Halen zelf, keert uit de oorlog terug, bedekt met citaties en krijgt de toelating de Nestel met de kleuren van het Oorlogskruis te dragen. Achtentachtig helden van het 5de Lansiers zijn gevallen op het veld van Eer voor de verdediging van onze vrijheden.

1918 – 1940 (interbellum)
Na de oorlog keert het 5de Regiment Lansiers terug naar zijn garnizoensstad Mechelen. Nadien maakt het deel uit van de bezettingstroepen in Duitsland, tot het op 29 oktober 1923 wegens reorganisatie van het Leger wordt ontbonden. Tijdens de mobilisatie van 1939 wordt het 5de Lansiers niet terug samengesteld. Doch de oudgedienden van het 5de Régiment Lansiers bleven niet stilzitten. In 1929 richten zij de "Verbroedering der Oudstrijders van het 5 Lansiers" op. In 1931 wordt, op kosten van de Verbroedering een gedenkplaat "Aan Onze Helden" onthuld te Mechelen (kazerne Gen Baron Michel) Na de afbraak, in 1969, van de kazerne te Mechelen bleef de gedenkplaat gevrijwaard en vond in 1986 een nieuw onderkomen in de kazerne Libbrecht te Leopoldsburg. In 1934 wordt de 20ste verjaardag van de "Slag der Zilveren Helmen" gevierd te Halen. Voor die gelegenheid onthuld de Verbroedering te Loksbergen(Halen) opnieuw een monument.

1945 – 1989 (Koude Oorlog)

Reorganisatie 1950
Binnen de Belgische Bezettingsstrijdkrachten drong zich een reorganisatie op door de toetreding van België tot de NAVO (4 april 1949). De "Interventiemacht" werd fors uitgebreid met één extra InfanterieDivisie (ID) en één PantserDivisie (PD). Wat resulteerde in twee infanteriedivisies en één pantserdivisie op vredesvoet, aangevuld met nog twee (reserve)infanteriedivisies op oorlogsvoet. De twee infanteriedivisies op vredesvoet waren de 1ste ID, die reeds bestond, en de nieuw opgerichte 4de ID (12 maart 1951). Daarbij kwam ook nog de 16dePD, opgericht 1 februari 1951. Om deze nieuwe divisies van personeel en materieel te voorzien, werden er tal van nieuwe eenheden opgericht. Daaronder ook het 1ste Bataljon Zware Tanks (1BnZwTnks). Dat een onderdeel wordt van de 1ste ID en dus eigenlijk toebehoorde aan de "Infanterie". Ook de Binnenlandse Verdedigingsstrijdkrachten ondergaan een reorganisatie. Op oorlogsvoet kwam er één infanteriedivisie bij, de 5de (reserve) ID wordt opgericht op 27 februari 1952. Eén van de reserve-eenheden die daartoe behoorde was het 5de Lansiersbataljon. In 1955 wordt de "Standaard 5de Régiment Lanciers" toegekend aan het 5de Lansiersbataljon, dat sinds 1 december 1952 op oorlogsvoet als Zware (reserve)Tankeenheid is voorzien (MobilisatieKern MK21). Het 5de Lansiersbataljon beschikt over de Sherman M4A3-tank en de Chaffee M24-tank. Op 6 juli 1953 volbrengt het 5de Lansiersbataljon een eerste wederoproeping van 30 dagen, inclusief een 6-daagse schietperiode te Elsenborn. Op 20 juli 1955 wordt het bataljon opnieuw samengesteld voor alweer een 24-daagse wederoproeping te Beverlo en Elsenborn. In 1957 wordt het omgevormd tot een Middelzware (reserve)Tankeenheid. In oktober 1959 volbrengt het zijn laatste wederoproeping van 25 dagen, ditmaal enkel te Beverlo. CO op dat ogenblik is Maj(Res) Verhaegen H. en de RSM is 1OWM Govaerts. Het bataljon zal ontbonden worden op 01 juli 1960.

Reorganisatie 1956-57
De "Interventiemacht" wordt opnieuw gereorganiseerd, de 4de ID gaat over naar de reserve en de 3de ID, die enkel op oorlogsvoet bestond, wordt volledig afgeschaft. De 1ste ID en de 16dePD blijven behouden. Ook het 1BnZwTnks blijft toegewezen aan de 1ste ID. Bij de Binnenlandse verdedigingsstrijdkrachten wordt ook de afschaffing van de 5de ID overwogen.

1960, LANDCENT
De interventiemacht neemt de Landcent-organisatie aan, wat resulteert in de zoveelste reorganisatie. De 1ste ID en de 16dePD worden beiden hervormd in PantserInfanterieDivisies. Met elk dezelfde samenstelling, namelijk twee PantserInfanterieBrigades en één PantserBrigade. De benaming wijzigt van 1ste InfanterieDivisie en 16de PantserDivisie naar 1ste en 16de Divisie. Vanaf nu gaan ook alle tanks naar het Pantserwapen, wat erop neer komt dat ook het 1ste Bataljon Zware Tanks niet langer onder het Infanteriewapen valt. Waarschijnlijk heeft men bij het Pantserwapen van deze gelegenheid gebruik gemaakt om het 1BnZwTnks van naam te veranderen, om zo terug te kunnen aanknopen met oude tradities. Aangezien de reserve- eenheid het 5de Lansiersbataljon net ontbonden was, werden de Standaard en de Tradities overgedragen aan het 1BnZwTnks. Dat daarmee een hoofdstuk "Infanterie" afsloot en een nieuw hoofdstuk "Cavalerie" aanvatte, met als benaming 5de Lansiersbataljon.

Lüdenscheid
In 1960 wordt het 1ste Bataljon Zware Tanks geleidelijk omgevormd tot het 5de Lansiersbataljon. Het zal tot 1 december 1960 duren vooraleer het officieel die benaming krijgt. Ook wijzigt de samenstelling en wordt het een Middelzware Tankeenheid. Het 1BnZwTnks was over drie garnizoensteden verspreidt (Lüdenscheid, Soest en Siegen). Door de wijziging in samenstelling zal het D-Eskadron in Siegen ontbonden worden en zal het personeel de rest van de eenheid in Lüdenscheid vervoegen. Uitgezonderd het B-Eskadron dat nog tot 10 augustus 1962 in Soest gelegerd blijft. Het nieuwe 5de Lansiersbataljon ontstaat dus uit de schoot van het 1 Bataljon Zware Tanks, dat van naam verandert, maar voorts het volledige personeel behoudt. Samenstelling op 1 december 1960: Staf, Esk Staf & Diensten, A & C-Eskadron en een Medisch Detachement te Lüdenscheid (Kwartier YZER). Het B-Eskadron verblijft te Soest (Kwartier KANAAL van WESSEM). Buiten de algemene diensten beschikt de Staf ook over een peloton verkenners, de eskadrons zijn samengesteld uit een staf en 3 tankpelotons. Ieder peloton beschikte over 5 tanks. Het 5 Lansiersbataljon beschikte over de M47-Patton, een tank die in 1951 in productie ging. Dit als antwoord op de escalerende conflicten in Korea. Er was destijds te weinig tijd om een opvolger van de M46 te ontwikkelen. Daarom plaatste men de geschutskoepel van de T42(geplande opvolger) op het onderstel van de M46 en de M47-Patton was geboren. De T42 zou, buiten de geschutskoepel, nooit geproduceerd worden. De M47-Patton had een 90mm kanon, een .50 kaliber machinegeweer en één coaxiaal machinegeweer kaliber .30. De bemanning bestond uit 4 personen: lader, kanonnier, chauffeur en wagenoverste. Gemiddelde snelheid 48 km/h, met een actieradius van maar 130km. Deze tank was ook niet geschikt voor het gevecht in NBC omstandigheden en enkel uitgerust met infrarood nachtzichtapparatuur.

Op 6 december 1960 krijgt het 5de Lansiersbataljon officieel de Standaard en Tradities van het "5de Régiment Lanciers" toegewezen. De voertaal van de eenheid is voortaan Nederlands. Luitenant-generaal GRAHAY overhandigt op 18 maart 1961 de Standaard "5de Régiment Lanciers" aan LKL BELET. In het jaar 1965 wordt het stadje Attendorn(D) getroffen door overstromingen. Belgische militairen, die daar gekazerneerd zijn, helpen de plaatselijke bevolking. Op 5 en 6 december 1965 wordt er ook een detachement van het 5de Lansiersbataljon naar Attendorn gestuurd om te helpen.

Op 16 september 1967 slaat het noodlot voor het eerst toe, tijdens een manoeuvre in Bergen-Höhne, wordt de CO, LKL SBH Goffin overreden door een tank.

Volgens een getuige, destijds WM Kroo: "Tijdens die beruchte manoeuvres in Höhne waarbij de Kolonel verongelukte in 1967 hebben wij over dit ongeval de volgende uitleg gekregen. Dat het voertuig van de Kolonel was vastgereden in een verplichte doorgang (modder) en dat hij (Kolonel) zou gezegd hebben tegen zijn chauffeur van uit te stappen en het voertuig trachten los te duwen en dat hij (Kolonel) het stuur overnam, eens uit de modder had de Kolonel gezegd van naast hem te komen zitten en dat hij wel verder achter het stuur zou rijden. Op de plaats gekomen, bij de tanks welke in formatie "wisselstelling" stonden, om te vuren en daarna achteruit te rijden, was de Kolonel vermoedelijk te kort achter een tank gaan staan met als gevolg dat deze tank tijdens het achteruit rijden over de jeep van de Kolonel is gereden. De chauffeur, welke op de plaats van de passagier zat is er kunnen uitspringen maar de Kolonel niet met het bekende gevolg. De chauffeur van de tank hebben ze moeten afvoeren in shocktoestand". Over de radio hoorden we na het ongeval: "Silence Silence, stay out the air"

Ook in 1968 wordt het bataljon nogmaals geconfronteerd met een tragisch ongeval, in bevolen dienst komen de Soldaat Meeus en de Opperwachtmeester Van de Putte op datum van 11 november te overlijden. In de jaren 1964, 1966 en 1968 mag het bataljon de Wacht aan het Koninklijk Paleis te Brussel verzorgen.

Van 29 augustus tot 03 september 1966 wordt er deelgenomen aan de gerenommeerde CAT, Canadian Army Trophy (Wedstrijdschieten voor tankeenheden).

De zustereenheden waren:
 4/7th Royal Dragoon Guard (Verenigd Koninkrijk)
 Lord Strathcona's Horse-Royal Canadians (Canada)
 204 Panzer Bataillon (Duitsland)
 Peterstad: Mechelen

Reorganisatie Landmacht in 1969
Twee brigades in Duitsland (BSD) worden afgeschaft, met name de 16de InfanterieBrigade en de 18de PantserBrigade. Een aantal eenheden van deze brigades worden overgeplaatst naar België of afgeschaft, dit laatste werd het lot van het 5de Lansiersbataljon. 1969 wordt het jaar van de langzame ontbinding. In de eerste helft van het jaar behoort de eenheid, op oorlogsvoet, toe aan de Binnenlandse Strijdkrachten en op vredesvoet zijn ze een steuneenheid van het 1 BE Korps. Op 24 juni 1969 wordt het 5de Lansiersbataljon hervormd naar een Opleidings- en Demonstratiecentrum (ODC PsT) te Leopoldsburg. Op 1 juli 1969 wordt het 5de Lansiersbataljon geschrapt in de organisatie van de Landmacht. Het Opleidings- en Demonstratiecentrum voor Pantsertroepen neemt de Standaard en Tradities over. De benaming wijzigt in: Instructiebataljon Leopard¹. Op 1 september 1969 krijgt het Instructiebataljon Leopard de benaming 5de Lansiers, op oorlogsvoet wordt het omgevormd tot één onafhankelijk eskadron Leopard, met benaming Esk 5de Lansiers. Nadat de hervorming compleet is, wordt, op 17 oktober 1969, LKL De Clercq F. benoemd tot Korpsbevelhebber. ADC Tounneau A. is reeds aangesteld als RSM op datum 31 augustus 1969. In 1971 wordt de benaming nog eens gewijzigd in "Groep Leopard".

In 1971 wordt de benaming nog eens gewijzigd in "Groep Leopard".

1989 – heden (na de Koude Oorlog)
Door de grote reorganisatie, begin jaren 90, worden verschillende eenheden teruggetrokken uit Duitsland (Belgische Strijdkrachten in Duitsland). Zo smelten op 30 juni 1994 de Regimenten 1ste en 2de Gidsen samen en vormen zij voortaan het Regiment Gidsen. Dit nieuwe Regiment krijgt zijn nieuwe thuis in Leopoldsburg, waar het samen met de Groep Leopard en de Groep CVR-T (uit Stockem bij Aarlen) de Pantsercavalerieschool (PsCavSch) vormen. Op 21 oktober 1994 ontvangt de Pantsercavalerieschool haar nieuwe Standaard. De school heet vanaf dan Pantsercavalerieschool – Regiment Gidsen (PsCavSch-RG). De Standaard van het 5de Lansiers wordt, samen met de tradities, toegekend aan de reserve-eenheid Territoriaal Regiment Lansiers. Deze eenheid ontvangt te Peutie op datum van 23 juni 1995 de Standaard van het 5de Lansiers uit handen van Luitenant-generaal Charlier. Tijdens zijn 10-jarig bestaan zal deze reserve-eenheid de eer en de tradities van het 5de Regiment Lansiers hoog houden. Op datum van 25 oktober 2005 wordt het Territoriaal Regiment Lansiers ontbonden en vindt de Standaard van het 5de Lansiers onderdak in het Defensiehuis te Hasselt.

Tijdens de Sint-Jorisparade van 2007 overhandigd Kolonel SBH Joris R., Provinciecommandant van Limburg, de Standaard van het 5de Lansiers aan Luitenant-kolonel Schouwaerts G., Korpscommandant van het Departement Vorming Cavalerie (Dpt Vmg Cav). Dit gebeurt onder het Voorzitterschap van Luitenant-generaal Jennart. Zo wordt op datum van 25 april 2007, de vroegere Cavalerieschool van Leopoldsburg, opnieuw eigenaar van de Standaard en Tradities van het "5de Régiment de Lanciers".

In 2012 fusioneren de Infanterie- en de Cavalerie-eenheden in de medium bataljons. Vanaf dan is ook de vorming Infanterie en Cavalerie gegroepeerd in het nieuwe Departement Manoeuvre in Stockem en Leopoldsburg. Dit departement neemt bij zijn ontstaan de Standaard en de tradities over van het Regiment Gidsen.

De Standaard van het 5 Lansiers verhuisd dan, net als alle Standaarden van de Territoriale Regimenten, naar het Legermuseum te Brussel - KLM.

Historiek Standaard
De Standaard van het 5de Regiment Lansiers werd op 12 augustus 1914, de ochtend van de Slag van Halen, op het slagveld door Luitenant-generaal L. de Witte, commandant van de Ruiterijdivisie overhandigd aan Kolonel Xhardez, korpscommandant van het op 13 december 1913 opgerichte Regiment. De uitreiking van een Standaard op het slagveld is wellicht enig in de annalen van de Belgische militaire geschiedenis. Tijdens deze "Slag der Zilveren Helmen" kreeg de pas opgerichte eenheid de kans haar gevechtswaarde te bewijzen. Het 5de Lansiers werd voor zijn roemvolle inzet tijdens deze veldslag in de dagorders van het Belgische Leger vermeld en zijn nieuwe Standaard zal voortaan, in gulden letters, zijn eerste citatie dragen: "HAELEN". Het Regiment ontleende zijn latere leuze "AB ORIGINI FORTIS" aan dit wapenfeit.

De vermelding "ANVERS" op de Standaard werd toegekend ter erkenning van de moed en de heldhaftigheid waarvan de eenheid de bewijzen leverde tijdens de belegering van Antwerpen (augustus - september 1914).

Bij de twee hardnekkige gevechten aan de Reigersvliet (6 en 8 maart 1918) verliest het 5de Lansiers 2/3 van zijn ingezette effectieven. Omwille van hun moedig gedrag werd de vermelding "REIGERSVLIET" eveneens aan de Standaard toegevoegd.

De Standaard van het 5de Lansierregiment keerde bedekt met citaties terug uit de oorlog en kreeg de toelating om de nestel met de kleuren van het Oorlogskruis te dragen, evenals de vermelding "CAMPAGNE 1914-1918".

Tot aan zijn ontbinding in 1923 maakte het Regiment deel uit van de Bezettingstroepen in Duitsland. Nadien werd de Standaard in bewaring geven aan het Koninklijk Legermuseum.

In 1955 werd de Standaard toegekend aan het 5de Lansierbataljon. Wanneer deze reservetankeenheid in 1960 wordt afgeschaft, neemt datzelfde jaar het 1ste Bataljon Zware Tanks de benaming 5de Lansierbataljon over, samen met de tradities van het 5de Regiment Lansiers. Het 5de Lansierbataljon zal tot bij zijn afschaffing in 1969, gelegerd zijn te Lüdenscheid in Duitsland. Na de ontbinding van het Regiment bleef de Standaard in bewaring in het Opleidings- en Demonstratiecentrum voor Pantsertroepen (ODC PsT) te Leopoldsburg, dat in 1971 werd omgedoopt tot de "Groep Leopard".

In 1995 werd de Standaard van het 5de Regiment Lansiers, alsook zijn tradities toegekend aan het Territoriaal Regiment der Lansiers, de reserve-eenheid van de Provincie Limburg. Na de ontbinding in 2005 van deze reserve-eenheid werd de Standaard overgedragen aan het Provinciecommando Limburg.

Op datum van 25 april 2007, wordt de Standaard overhandigd aan het Departement Vorming Cavalerie te Leopoldsburg.

In 2012 fusioneren de Infanterie- en de Cavalerie-eenheden in de medium bataljons. Vanaf dan is ook de vorming Infanterie en Cavalerie gegroepeerd in het nieuwe Departement Manoeuvre in Stockem en Leopoldsburg. Dit departement neemt bij zijn ontstaan de Standaard en de tradities over van het Regiment Gidsen.

De Standaard van het 5 Lansiers verhuist dan, net als alle Standaarden van de Territoriale Regimenten, naar het Legermuseum te Brussel - KLM.

Mutskenteken
Het mutskenteken stelt een tschapka voor, het traditionele hoofddeksel van de Belgische Lansiers, dat door iedereen in het Regiment werd gedragen in 1914. Deze tschapka is geplaatst op twee gekruiste lansen met de Koningskroon erboven en wordt omgeven door een tekstband die de regimentsleuze draagt: "Ab origine fortis". Dit kenteken, werd ontworpen door Kapitein-commandant Walter-Hofman en in 1962 door de commissie goedgekeurd. Doch het mutskenteken werd pas effectief ingevoerd in de eenheid in de loop van 1966 en tot bij de ontbinding van het bataljon in 1969 gedragen. Het verving een eerder kenteken waarbij het cijfer "5" geplaatst stond op de kruising van twee lansen, omgeven door laurierbladeren en met daarboven de Belgische Koninklijke Kroon met onderaan de vermelding "Lanciers".

Borsthanger
Deze borsthanger was het originele ontwerp voor de borsthanger van het 5de Lansierregiment, in 1962. Een schild deels amarant en deels blauw, met daarop het mutskenteken van het 5de Regiment Lansiers. Het geheel werd omgeven door een zilveren tekstband met daarop de spreuk: "Ab origine fortis". Dit originele ontwerp werd echter pas in gebruik genomen in 1997 door het Territoriaal Regiment Lansiers.

Omdat het beginjaren 1960 technisch nog niet mogelijk was om dit eerste ontwerp te realiseren, werd er een ander ontwerp gemaakt. Deze tweede borsthanger werd omstreeks 1966-67 ontworpen en bestaat uit een pantserhandschoen met "Goedendag" in zwart en wit op een amarant- en blauwkleurig schild, dat met een zilveren boord is omgeven. Het geheel wordt afgebeeld tegen een zwarte achtergrond.

Regimentskleuren
Amarant en blauw zijn de achtergrondkleuren die voorkomen op het wapenschild en de borsthanger van het 5de Regiment Lansiers. Deze kleuren waren de overheersende kleuren van de Regimenten die manschappen leverden voor de vorming van het 5de Regiment Lansiers op 13 december 1913.

Spreuken
De leuze: "AB ORIGINE FORTIS" ("Moedig/Sterk… vanaf het begin") herinnert aan het glorierijke gedrag van het pas gevormde Regiment, in het begin van de Eerste Wereldoorlog en meer in het bijzonder tijdens de slag te Halen.

Wapenschild
Het wapenschild stelt een tschapka voor, het traditionele hoofddeksel van de Belgische Lansiers, dat door iedereen in het Regiment werd gedragen in 1914. Deze is geplaatst op twee gekruiste lansen met de Koningskroon erop. De kleuren, amarant en blauw, zijn de overheersende kleuren van de Regimenten die manschappen leverden voor de vorming van het 5de Regiment Lansiers in 1913. De leuze: "AB ORIGINE FORTIS" ("Moedig/Sterk… vanaf het begin") herinnert aan het glorierijke gedrag van het pas gevormde Regiment, in het begin van de Eerste Wereldoorlog en meer in het bijzonder tijdens de slag te Halen.

Oorlogskruis
Het Oorlogskruis werd toegekend aan eenheden die, minstens, twee citaties op hun Standaard hadden. Aan de Standaard werd dan een nestel in de kleuren van het Oorlogskruis bevestigd. Het Oorlogkruis was een medaille die ook aan individuele militairen werd uitgereikt. Dit bronzen kruis werd toegekend aan militairen voor een daad van moed tegenover de vijand.

Exclusive: Microsoft Replaces Lees as Head of Windows Phone Business
Microsoft is moving the current head of its Windows Phone business, Andy Lees, to a new role, AllThingsD has learned.
Terry Myerson, the corporate VP who has led engineering efforts for the phone unit, will add business development, marketing and other responsibilities. He will not, at least for now, though, get the division president title that Lees had.
Lees, who has headed Windows Phone for more than three years, will still report to CEO Steve Ballmer and focus on ways Microsoft can work across multiple types of devices from phones to slates to PCs. Although Lees will retain the title of president, it's not clear who will report to him in the new role.
"I have asked Andy Lees to move to a new role working for me on a time-critical opportunity focused on driving maximum impact in 2012 with Windows Phone and Windows 8," Ballmer said in an internal memo seen by AllThingsD. "We have tremendous potential with Windows Phone and Windows 8, and this move sets us up to really deliver against that potential."
Ballmer noted at the company's analyst meeting in September that Windows Phone sales haven't been what the company had hoped. Despite positive reviews, Microsoft has yet to gain significant market share with Windows Phone.
However, as one might expect in a corporate memo, Ballmer had praise for Lees' efforts.
"In the three years Andy has been leading the phone group, we've come a long way," Ballmer said. "We reset our strategy, built a strong team that delivered [Windows Phone 7] and [the Mango update] and created critical new partnerships and ecosystem around Windows Phone. That is a ton of progress in a brief period of time, and I'm excited for Terry and team to keep driving forward and for Andy to dig into a new challenge."
Terry Myerson
The next year is shaping up to be critical for Microsoft's phone effort, particularly now that key partner Nokia is releasing its first Windows Phone devices.
I had a chance to grill Lees at AsiaD on a number of topics, including the fact that Microsoft would appear to be getting more revenue these days from patent license royalties on Android phones than it does selling its own software.
As for Myerson, he's a past head of the Exchange team who has been at the company since 1997, when Microsoft bought Intersé Corporation, a company Myerson founded.
Myerson was part of a team brought in to overhaul Microsoft's phone software in the wake of the success of the iPhone. In addition to being well known within the company, he is tight with various partners, including the folks at Nokia, with whom he went snow-shoeing last March.
Update, 7:30 p.m. PT: Nokia, for its part, praised the leadership of Windows Phone, both past and future.
"We are grateful for Andy's support and commitment in getting Nokia's Lumia range into the market, on schedule," Executive VP Jo Harlow said in a statement to AllThingsD. "We would like to thank him for his hard work and wish him well in his new ventures at Microsoft. We have been working closely with Terry and are looking forward to collaborating with him more broadly."
Harlow and Myerson are both alums of Duke University (although they graduated at different times). Earlier this year, Nokia presented the pair with their own Nokia phones emblazoned with Duke's Blue Devil mascot.

I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer (Hardcover)
By Michelle McNamara, Gillian Flynn (Introduction by), Patton Oswalt (Afterword by)
This is a chilling and riveting account of Michelle McNamara's hunt for the Golden State Killer, a previously little known serial killer who terrorized California in the 1970s. She died before seeing her work published. Yet, a few months after the book was published, the serial killer was caught using techniques she describes in her book. It's a must-read for anyone who stays up late watching "Forensic Files" or bingeing true crime podcasts.


Look further to stay alive.
There isn't any thread regarding this , so I thought to start one. The renders of the bike are already surfing on the internet. Can we expect this bike to be launched soon?

Why the R3 is different among the "R" series.
Like R15 , R6 and R1 look same.. R15 and R6 share same DNA from R1.
In what way it differ from R series ?
Can you tell me some basic stuff like what is R DNA ?
The tagline for yamaha r3 is " an everyday sports bike ". For this reason it has relatively comfortable ergonomics than r series bikes. I think, to highlight it's practicality its design language is comparatively toned down .
Like r125 , r15 ,r6 and r1 all these bikes are agressive and made for track .
But R3 looks like a comfortable tourer bike .. and its head lights also dosent match with r6 and r1 ..
Yes but it still have the "R" name ..even though its not a track bike and nowhere looks like a supersport..
Heard the 2019 model with have VVA technology and USD forks, and a more sporty riding position, it maybe the r25 which are sold in select Asian countries.
MotoGP to have a new electric racing World Cup from 2019!
MotoGP to have Electric Bike racing by 2019?

If you're a green tea drinker, you've probably heard of the tea's health benefits. The research on its cancer-fighting properties is promising but mixed.
Who hasn't heard of green tea being good for people with cancer and for preventing cancer? Or to help with weight loss?
Yes, I've heard it. And I know you have too.
Raises your hand or nod your head.
Don't get me wrong, I love green tea with lemon and honey and I drink it all the time. I have drinken it since long before I ever heard the unreliable news that it helps in preventing cancer. Being as I am a cancer patient, it kinda proves it was incorrect information.
I know people who have purposely started drinking green tea because they heard it is 'better' for them and would cure their cancer.
Green tea and green tea extracts are widely consumed by patients with cancer. Yet, overall there is no evidence that proves green tea or its chemical components slow tumor progression in humans — and more importantly, there is some evidence which proves green tea compounds might interfere with anticancer treatment.
– reduce the risk of diarrhea if you take the extract, but can increase the risk of skin rash and nausea.
If you are taking Tamoxifen: Green tea may increase risk of adverse side effects (well, it probably would have been a good thing to know 2 1/2 years ago when I started taking tamoxifen).
Green tea has also been found to prevent the benefits of chemo (chemopreventive) for breast cancer patients. But wait, there is more: A meta-analysis conducted by Chinese researchers of published epidemiological studies found insufficient evidence to conclude that there is an association between green tea consumption and esophageal cancer, despite a subgroup analysis suggesting a possible risk reduction for women. Green tea consumption does not appear to affect the risk of pancreatic cancer.
So, the conclusion is: There is limited epidemiologic and lab-experiment evidence that green tea and green tea compounds are capable at high concentrations of affecting tumor biology. There is not, however, substantive clinical evidence that this potential translates to clinically meaningful cancer prevention or treatment benefits in humans.
Which means, there is no real evidence saying green tea is really better for you and it can mess with your cancer treatment.
As a group of people (cancer patients), I think we have learned to quickly grab on to what we see as 'good news' or something 'good' to eat or drink because some study said so. When we need to realize there is a good reason more research is often needed.

Wonderful Australia
Australia is one of the biggest counties in the world. It is certainly one of the most naturally diverse country of the southern hemisphere. Although Most of the country is part of deserted landscape also known as 'Australian Outback'. Whole of the country is surrounded by waters, majorly Indian Ocean on the west and South Pacific Ocean in the east.
Politically its divided into 6 states, but most of the population lives on the east coast states of Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. Canberra is the capital of Australia, but Sydney is the most famous city in the country and closest to Canberra. Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth are other major cities here.
Australia is also known for land of Kangaroos, Koala and Great Barrier Reef. Huge rock of Uluru is also one of top attractions visitors seek for. There are rainforests and white sand beaches to attract tourists. And if that's enough, Tasmanian island is waiting for you with more secrets. It's a beautiful country.

Harry Smeltzer has a lengthy and informative interview posted with John Schmutz, author of The Battle of the Crater: A Complete History. Schmutz' book is, in my opinion, one of the best two Crater books out of the five or so published recently, with Earl Hess' being the other. The main gripe most people had with this book, and really any book published by McFarland, was the absolutely ridiculous asking price of $75. Anyone who was interested until they noticed the price will be happy to know that McFarland is coming out with a new Paperback version for "only" $35. That's still a lot for a paperback, but it's a lot more reasonable than the previous version. Amazon appears to be selling the hardcover version now for $49.95, so that may still be the better deal. In any case, if you want to learn more about the Battle of the Crater, this is a good starting point.


How does Converge protect its customers from receiving substandard components? That's the topic of discussion in a new podcast titled "Protecting Customers Through Quality Management" which is now available on the Converge website.
All of our customers are secure in knowing that partnering with Converge for their electronic component needs provide them peace of mind. But, how exactly does Converge provide that assurance?
In this new podcast, we will be talking with our quality experts Ron Wiggins and Dwight Gerardi about why it's so important to partner with an independent distributor that has an established quality inspection program, some of the risks involved when you don't, and you'll even get a glimpse on how the quality management program actually works at Converge. Ron and Dwight will discuss their roles at Converge as well as our commitment to quality improvement and the type of equipment used.
They will also answer questions about what goes into our step-by-step inspection process and what happens if a discrepancy is found in a component. Protecting our customers and the supply chain from substandard parts is something we strive for every day and in every single transaction. It's what we've built our reputation on and sets us apart from the competition.

Q: Display tick and cross icons for a property in the Django administration console In the Django admin if the field is a BooleanField or NullBooleanField, Django will display a pretty "on" or "off" icon instead of True or False.
Now, I don't really have a BooleanField in my model by I do have a property fior which I'd like to display the icons but when I try doing so, Django screams that 'SomeAdmin.list_filter[0]' refers to 'is_activated' which does not refer to a Field.
Is it possible to display those nice little icons for this field without hacking Django too much.
Thanks

A: You don't want to use list_filter. The property you're looking for is list_display. The documentation offers an example of how you can create a column that behaves like a boolean in the display. In short, you do something like this:

*

*Create a method in the class:
def is_activated(self)
    if self.bar == 'something':
        return True
    return False

*add the .boolean method attribute directly below the is_activated method:
is_activated.boolean = True

*Add the method as a field in list_display:
class MyAdmin(ModelAdmin):
    list_display = ['name', 'is_activated']

*You'll notice the column name is probably now "Is Activated" or something like that. If you want the column heading to change, you use the short_description method attribute:
is_activated.short_description = "Activated"

A: The correct way to do this now in Django 3.0+ is with @admin.display.

    @admin.display(
      boolean=True,
      ordering='-publish_date',
      description='Is Published?',
    )
    def is_published(self, obj):
        return obj.publish_date is not None

When it comes to increasing space in a warehouse, it is widely accepted that building up is just as good (or better) than expanding outward. The most common method for doing this is with a mezzanine.
A mezzanine is an intermediate floor inside of a building, usually open and not walled off. There are a few different types of mezzanines; including stick built, fiberglass, and rack-supported. In general, the two most common types of mezzanines are cold rolled and structural steel. Understanding the differences in the way the two types of mezzanines are manufactured is crucial to ensuring you choose the right product for the job.
Cold rolled refers to the method of bending sheet metal into "c" channel to use as the understructure of the mezzanine floor. These cold rolled pieces attach to the tubular steel or tapered columns and provide the "beams" that support the floor. Cold rolled has two major benefits over structural steel mezzanines. First, the material is much lighter than structural steel and therefore less expensive to ship. This usually means there is also less equipment needed to erect the structure on site. Second, cold rolled steel can be pre-galvanized; offering a substantial savings over hot dipped galvanized, stainless steel, or aluminum mezzanines. A disadvantage of cold rolled steel mezzanine systems is the very limited column spacing (usually 10' – 15' max). They are also unable to reach the high live loads or heavily concentrated point loads that can be accomplished with structural steel mezzanine systems.
Structural steel mezzanines are constructed of hot rolled structural I-beams which connect in a post-and-beam manor to tubular columns or I-beam columns. Open web bar joists are then used to construct the sub-floor support. While structural steel mezzanines do have a higher dead load than cold rolled systems, they also offer major advantages. The most commonly required benefit of structural steel is greater column spacing. Instead of the limited 10 to 15 feet achievable with cold rolled, structural steel mezzanines can have column spacing over 25 feet as well as load ratings well over the standard 125 psf. This means when using a structural steel mezzanine system, more material can be stored in a smaller area – with more space for maneuverability underneath.
Both types of mezzanine systems can be finished with wet paint or powder coated. Cold rolled systems can be pre-galvanized whereas structural steel must be hot-dipped in order to become galvanized. Decking options for both systems include: B-deck and plywood, bar grating, and plank decking. With structural steel, however, there is the added option of either finishing the floor in concrete or with diamond plate. The last major comparison point between the two systems is price. Cold rolled systems will tend to be cheaper (partly due to less freight cost), but offer fewer options and have lower column spacing and load rating maximums. Conversely, structural steel tends to cost more; but with more options and the availability to add more weight as situations arise in the future. You should carefully assess current and future needs before choosing either option.
