Persona 3 Portable (Mac)
Need for Speed Unbound (Mac)

Need for Speed Unbound on Mac
Need for Speed Unbound (also known as NFS Unbound) is a car racing video game that lets players experience the thrill of driving fast cars and overcoming various road challenges in a new setting. The game is the twenty-fifth in the same-named series and has several noteworthy improvements over the previous titles.
The focus of the gameplay is street racing, which is similar to that of previous games in the series. However, in Need for Speed Unbound, players race around Lakeshore City, a new made-up city modeled after Chicago.
Fans can notice that the "heat system" from Need for Speed: Heat makes a return in the latest installment, but this time players are faced with new challenges and relentless cops that call in for reinforcements during some stages of the gameplay.
During the game, players can compete to win The Grand, the city's most prestigious street racing event. To do that, they have to engage in weekly qualifiers, earn cash, outdrive the competitors, and outsmart the police.
Enhanced customization
The game offers a wide variety of vehicles to select from, which are more refined than in earlier games. There are also far more extensive options for tweaking the look and sound of your car, and a wide range of competition formats.
A number of fan-made additions to previous games have been introduced in the latest game's extensive customization options. For instance, the developers have included the ability to swap out car body kits (modified car body parts and additional components), add a splitter (an aerodynamic component), or even remove the front and rear bumpers entirely.
Game design and sound
The way the game looks is a mix of photorealism, like in previous Need for Speed games, and art elements, like graffiti. The soundtrack gets the mood going with songs by the American artist A$AP Rocky.
This latest installment in the Need for Speed series features a single-player and multiplayer campaign, guaranteeing hours of intense racing action. The developers have clearly put a lot of work into Unbound, and the result is an objectively better game than anything released before in the series.
Can you play Need for Speed Unbound on Mac?
Although there is no official macOS version of Need for Speed Unbound, it is possible to play the game using a few hacks. For instance, Mac users can play games that were not originally meant to run on their machines by using Windows virtualization software.
What you need is to first install a Windows Virtual Machine using third-party software like Parallels or Apple's Boot Camp Assistant, two trustworthy solutions that allow you to run Windows applications and play games that don't run natively on a Mac.

Humble Grape aims for £750k-£1m in second expansion crowdfund
By Hannah Thompson contact
02-Mar-2017 - Last updated on 12-Oct-2017 at 09:19 GMT
Related tags: Finance, Investment
Wine bar and merchant group Humble Grape has launched its second crowdfunding campaign, hoping to raise £750,000-£1m to support its ongoing expansion plans.
The fund, on the online investor website Seedrs, will look to support the group's growth beyond the already-confirmed opening of its third and fourth sites this year. It will then look to open two to four sites per year across London, from 2018 onwards.
The investment fund's pre-valuation is set at £10m based on the company's revenue since 2009.
Group founder James Dawson has invited regulars and loyal customers to invest, as an opportunity to become part of the brand's growth and success.
The investor pre-registration phase has already begun for potential investors, with the public investment phase set to open on 19 March.
The lowest investment amount available is £20.
It is the second time has Dawson has launched a Seedrs campaign for the business, after a 2014 bid far exceeded the company's initial aims, raising £360,000. The average investment amount per investor was £1,000.
The group then received an additional £175,000 from private investors, for a total fundraise of £535,000, with the pre-valuation of £1.4m.
This fund helped to secure the third and fourth sites for later this year, in north and central London respectively.
Humble Grape's first wine bar opened in south London's Battersea in 2015, followed by Fleet Street in 2016, and before that its business centred on importing sustainable wines from small, family-owned vineyards.
It now imports over 400 wines from 11 different countries.
"This is about offering our customers the opportunity to become further invested in Humble Grape," says Dawson. "We've let customer feedback and input shape our brand so far and no matter how big we grow, I want this to continue. I believe in crowdfunding because it gives customers who believe in a brand the opportunity to become a part of its growth and share in its success."

A blog on eminent domain, land-use, and related matters.
He Who Lives By the Sword, Dies by the Sword
Read All About It! The Associated Press Discovers Eminent Domain Reality
September 26, 2009 / Uncategorized / by Gideon
The proverb has it that better late than never, so we duly take note of the fact that the Associated Press finally got off the dime and reported yesterday that the vaunted New London redevelopment project, the one that gave us the wretched, 2005 U.S. Supreme Court Kelo decision, has been an unmitigated failure. It has not redeveloped anything, but has only succeeded in destroying a viable lower middle class neighborhood with nothing to show for it, except for blowing at least $80 million (and probably more) in public funds.
We blogged about that and wrote about it in in the National Journal on line on September 1, 2009, see http://gideonstrumpet.info/?p=290 Check it out.
We are pleased to hear that the AP story ran in some 250 papers, thus making clear to the populace at large what a disaster that "well planned" project has been. That was the good news.
The bad news is two-fold. First, the AP story does not mention the $80 million-plus in misspent public funds (something we feel is a pretty important aspect of this story). Second, there is stuff in that AP article that makes no sense. We quote:
"Overall, proponents say about two-thirds of the 90-acre site is developed, in part because of a 16-acre, $25 million state park. The other third of the land remains without the promised residential housing, office buildings, shops and hotel/conference center facility."
But this arithmetic does not work out. 16 out of 90 acres comes to about 17%, not two-thirds. Also, as far as we have been able to determine, that "state park" is not a part of the redevelopment project. The last dispatch from the New London newspaper, The Day, was that the site of the defunct redevelopment project has become an empty, weed-overgrown tract of land, of interest only to birds and bird watchers. Maybe the AP knows something we and our Connecticut acquaintances don't know. If so, we yearn to learn, but we have a hunch that the AP is not likely to enlighten us.
One other thing. The AP reports that the Kelo project promoters are blaming the failure on the economy. Not true. This project was started in 2000, nine years ago, and the U.S. Supreme Court gave it the go-ahed in 2005, well before the onset of the recession and the market/credit crash. And yet, New London's chosen redeveloper was not able to secure financing for this project. More important, even if they are right (which they aren't), so what? It has always been our contention that notwithstanding all the "public use" BS that tends to surround it, redevelopment is nothing more than a private venture that is financed with public money, with land for it obtained by government strong-arm tactics. Which means that when the economy tanks, so do the supposedly "public use" redevelopment projects.
So the moral of this story is that entrepreneurship — whether called redevelopment, or plain old development — carries with it a risk of failure. As California Court of Appeal Justice Macklin Fleming put it a while back, the landscape is littered with the remains of development projects whose promises of a bigger economic pie turned into pie in the sky. Which is why public funds should not be risked in this fashion. If a proposed redevelopment is as economically hotsy-totsy as its proponents usually claim, let them invest — and risk — their own money. Not yours.
Update. We looked into the confusing part of the AP story, and a kind professional acquaintance in Connecticut has supplied us with pictures and a detailed map, so we think we now understand AP's confusion. The Fort Trumbull State Park has been there (adjacent to what later became the Fort Trumbull redevelopment project area) for a long time and has nothing whatever to do with the Kelo case or the redevelopment project that gave rise to it. The project area consists of some 90 acres, and nothing has been done with it by way of redevelopment.
Oh, yes. Looking at that map reminded us. The project was sited on a spot adjacent to the municipal sewage treatment plant. Just where you'd want to build upscale condos and a five-star hotel. Right?
Also, we were reminded recently that in spite of all the BS about the need to use eminent domain on account of "holdouts" standing in the way of redevelopment, the taking for the Fort Trumbull project carefully left standing a building owned by the Italian Dramatic Club, a local institution that excludes women (except as servants), and is far more renowned as a situs for local politicos doing their thing, than for its theatrical accomplishments. You can take it from there.
Follow up. We recently came across a 2008 article from The Day, New Londion's newspaper, reporting that the total expenditures on the Fort Trumbull redevelopment fiasco came to $180 million. Fort Trumbull Must Be an Open Book, June 28, 2008.

NEW: A Room Full of Elephants

The Pauline Conversion

Till Undeath Do Us Part
Two-thirds of a delta
February 7, 2013 February 7, 2013 ~ Anthony Camber	~ 2 Comments
On 14 May 1838, eighteen-year-old George Williams was indicted and convicted at the Old Bailey in London of stealing one handkerchief to the value of two shillings. Sentence: transported for ten years.
Exactly 23,957 days later, on 17 December 1903, a few miles south of Kitty Hawk in North Carolina, Orville Wright piloted the Wright Flyer on the world's first sustained powered flight. The aircraft travelled 37m at 11 km/h and at an altitude of 3m. Orville's brother Wilbur ran alongside.
And 23,957 days after that, on 20 July 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin threaded the Apollo 11 lunar module Eagle through a boulder field to a safe landing on the Sea of Tranquility.
Sixty-five years and seven months elapsed between the Flyer lifting off from its starting rail and Eagle's landing pads settling into the grey lunar regolith whipped up by the exhaust of the descent engine. This time between first takeoff and first landing was a period of rapid and significant technological growth, in no small part due to wars. I wonder whether history will ultimately christen it the Flyer/Eagle Delta or some such name.
These arbitrary time periods fascinate me: that we can make such a giant leap, so to speak, easily within the span of one life. That someone, many people, almost certainly watched Armstrong step onto the lunar surface while thinking back to when they first heard about the Wright brothers, or first saw a boxy wooden craft steer hesitantly above them.
It's illuminating to place the Flyer/Eagle Delta onto other time periods and see how humanity fared: hence the opening to this post. Poor George Williams, nicking a grubby handkerchief and being sent to Australia for his trouble, exactly one delta before the first flight. I wonder, did he live to hear of the Wright Flyer at Kitty Hawk? He'd have been 83 or thereabouts, perhaps returned from Australia. He'd have lived through the rise of the railways, the telegraph and telephone, the US Civil War and Abraham Lincoln, Gladstone and Disraeli, Dickens and Brunel and Darwin, and Queen Victoria's reign.
The next natural place for the delta: ending today, 7 February 2013. That makes its starting point 7 July 1947. Has humanity made such great progress since that time? In computing, certainly, from huge, clunking code-breakers to smartphones and the internet. In the time since World War II we have become global broadcasters, trackable and instantly contactable almost anywhere on the planet. We've increased pollution and population, too, and our ability to destroy ourselves by slow and fast means: but we've also made great strides in medicine. We've wiped out smallpox and almost wiped out polio. Do the changes feel as momentous as those between 1838 and 1903, or between 1903 and 1969? Not to me. But perhaps a delta feels different from within: we are frogs boiling slowly in the pan, and don't notice the change.
And now let's consider the delta that started when Armstrong stepped onto the moon's surface. When does that end? Add 23,957 days and you reach 21 February 2035: twenty-two years from now. We're 1947 to Apollo's 1969, a few months before the first flight to break the sound barrier. We're 1881 to the Wright brothers' 1903, just weeks after the gunfight at the OK Corral.
To be precise, we're 15,908 days into a delta: just under two-thirds of the way. And Thursday 11 April 2013 marks exactly two-thirds of the delta between Apollo 11 and… what? I can't wait to find out.

Breaking Down Numerology
By admin February 11, 2021 Numerology 109 0
Numerology is the use of numbers and number combinations in divination. Numerology is often used as part of psychic readings. Each number corresponds to a meaning. They also correspond to the letters of the alphabet. It is though these meanings and correspondences that numerology is interpreted and charts are made for divination. The numbers used are zero through 10. Any number larger than 10 is broken down by adding the two digits of the number together to get a single digit number. The following explains the generally accepted meanings of the number zero through ten: 0- everything and nothing all at once 1- singular, individual 2- balance, pair 3- communication 4- creation 5- action 6- responsibility 7- the mind, thought 8- power 9- the end 10- begin again The meanings of the numbers vary often according to each numerologist. However, in general the above meanings are a good representation of the number meanings that are most often used. Sometimes the numbers 11 and 22 are assigned special meaning as prime number that represent the most important and meaningful numbers in numerology. The numbers also are related to the letters of the alphabet. For this numbers 1 through 26 are used. Usually in numerology reports a persons name is written out then labeled with number for each letter. The numbers are then added together and brought down to a digit between one and ten. For example: Sue becomes the number 18/20/5 18 becomes 9 20 becomes 2 5 stays as 5...
Name Numerology and Why It Is So Popular
By admin February 3, 2021 Numerology 75 0
Along with other known systems geared in classifying the different human personalities which prevail in the world, name numerology is among the many varieties which millions often encounter. As a system, name numerology falls under the numerology category, and makes do with the significant numerical values which could be derived form a person's name. The origins of numerology as a from of divination, termed numerical divination, was popular within the ranks of the earliest of mathematicians, one of which would be Pythagoras. Technically, numerology and name numerology aren't considered to be part of the mathematics arena, but is rather classed as pseudomathematics. This is perceived to be as such by modern scientists, and numerology and name numerology is known to have tread on the same path as the development of astronomy from astronomy, and that with chemistry coming from alchemy. Name Numerology and Its Associations Name numerology is popularly associated with the occult nowadays, as how astrology is known to be on the same plane, though not exactly in detail. Typically name numerology entails the derivation of a number from one's name, resulting to a symbol number.

These mountains, so named for the thin blue mist that floats around them, cover 111,693 hectares of the state, encompassing charming small towns that preserve the area's unique cultural history and offering a variety of outdoor adventures, from climbing to rafting to camping.
The USA's largest private residence sprawls across impressive grounds (a 3,237-hectare backyard where you can horseback ride, for instance), has 250 rooms and an ornate façade that barely fits in your camera frame. Nearby Antler Hill Village features the award-winning Biltmore Winery as well as dining, shopping historical exhibits and two hotel properties perfect for longer visits.

Cape Lookout National Seashore
Three unspoiled barrier islands on North Carolina's Outer Banks make up Cape Lookout, offering visitors unfettered access to fishing, swimming, birding, boating, windsurfing, kayaking and shelling.

Jockey's Ridge State Park
Home to the tallest sand dune on the East Coast, Jockey's Ridge is a hot spot for hiking, hang gliding, kite flying and sunset watching over Roanoke Sound. The wind constantly reshapes the 200 hectares of dunes here, so every day offers a new view of this state park.
Chimney Rock State Park
You might recognize this state park's stunning scenery from the final scenes of the film, "Last of the Mohicans." While it's home to six hiking trails and the gorgeous Hickory Nut Falls, the star attraction is the Chimney Rock lookout. From atop this 96-meter mountaintop rock formation, you'll be able to see not only the surrounding Hickory Nut Gorge and Lake Lure, but also 120 kilometers in all directions.
Mustang Owners Museum
Located in Concord, a short drive away from Charlotte Motor Speedway, the sprawling museum space houses more than 50 Ford Mustangs, all of which are owned by Mustang enthusiasts or automotive companies. For this reason, the cars on display rotate regularly, meaning that each visit to the museum will be a unique look at the legendary muscle car.
Shackleford Banks
Admire, from a respectful distance, the more than 100 wild horses running free on the Shackleford Banks, the southernmost barrier island of Cape Lookout National Seashore. Or to the north, catch a glimpse of Corolla's Spanish Mustangs, North Carolina's oldest residents, who have roamed the Outer Banks for hundreds of years.

Hands up who wants to see a secret part of Sicily? How about an abandoned secret part of Sicily?
Excellent – follow me.
You might already know that Sicily is a hotbed of seismic activity. Really, you take your life into your hands when you step onto the island. Yes of course I'm being a touch dramatic but there have been a lot of earthquakes over the years, and when they strike, there's a lot of damage.
The earthquake that hit the Valle del Belice in the southwest corner in 1968 was no different. It killed almost 1,000 people and flattened ten towns. Two of those towns were Gibellina and Poggioreale. Both were abandoned, but their stories are quite different. On a sunny Autumn day we decided to visit both.
Getting to these villages is an adventure of its own as they're both completely off the beaten path. We saw only a handful of people the whole day, and two of them were shepherds tending their flock (yes really!). While the countryside is lovely, the roads have seen better days. They're pretty rough; cracked and unsettled by seismic activity, and sometimes mostly covered in weeds and rocks. It's very slow going in parts.
First stop Poggioreale, a ghost town surrounded by high fences that sternly and most definitely say stay out. However I had other ideas.
I knew full well from Instagram posts I'd seen that there was a secret entrance somewhere – we just had to find it….
Mr Travelling Pantaloni gallantly jumped the fence and found a way in (hint: head for the pine tree to the right then around the side of the house). We were then confronted with a second fence, this one much easier to find a way around (hint: go up the hill to the left, through the gap in the wall, out to the field, then back in over the wall on the other side of the fence).
Once in, we were the only ones there apart from some vicious sounding dogs from a neighbouring farm (hint: get a big stick just in case).
It's an eerie place, completely quiet except for the scrabbling of rats, the barking of aforementioned vicious hounds and the occasional tile dropping off a wall and crashing to the rubble below. As we walked up the main street, we found the library and town hall amongst the remnants of other once grand buildings. As we peeked inside, we could see the remains of frescoes on walls, and painted ceilings that would have once held delicate chandeliers. At the end of the street there's a piazza with what's left of a statue, and half of the church still stands at the top of some stairs.
After a picnic lunch shared with a cat and two dogs we set off for Gibellina, just a short drive away.
Even though it was destroyed in the same earthquake, and abandoned just like Poggioreale, Gibellina turned out quite differently. It appears that the mayor of the new town was an art lover because he attracted sculptors and artists to make the new town both inviting and beautiful. Alberto Burri, an internationally renown artist, had an unusual idea for the ruins of Gibellina: he wanted to transform it into a work of art that acted as both a memorial to those that had died, but also to link the old and new towns via art. So the whole town was covered in five feet of concrete, and painted white. Everything except for the streets, which have been left as they were for people like us to wander through. This is now called the Cretto di Burri (Burri's crack …. insert chortle here). It looks really strange and out of place in the surrounding rural landscape, and is an eerie place to walk through because you're not looking at anything in particular. It reminded me most of a maze, albeit one you can see over the top of.
These two villages make a great day out if you have a car. Pack a picnic, enjoy the quiet and see a secret part of Sicily.
Until next time, happy travels,
How I fell in love with Sicily
Finding magic in Maratea
There's a reason why the beaten track is beaten
Procida day-tripping
Go south!
Polignano a Mare: looks can be deceiving
Absolutely fascinating
Thanks Lee, glad you enjoyed it!

We believe that every child is unique and special and that we have a duty to ensure they grow in faith, in love and in their learning. The new Code of Practice reflects our educational philosophy that we are educators of the whole child. The four areas outlined in the Code of Practice identify four main areas of nurturing that children need. In addition to these four, we believe that spiritual growth is of equal importance and whilst this isn't directly reflected in the new Code, we are confident this area of nurture is addressed through our Collective Worship and everyday ethos in school. By committing fully to addressing the four areas in the Code of Practice, we are continually striving to ensure that every opportunity is given to allow each child to be and achieve the best they can.


Here is Some Information about Chottanikkara Bhagavathy Temple in Kochi Kerala India.
The Chottanikkara Temple is located in Bhagavathy Temple located at 17kms from Ernakulam of Kerala.There are two main temples here. The first one we see as soon as we enter is the temple of Rajarajeswari. The one behind it in a slightly lower elevation is called Keezhekavu, which has Bhadra Kali consecrated there. The Rajarajeswari is worshipped as Goddess Saraswathi in the morning, as Bhadra kali at noon and Durga in the night. This temple opens its doors every day at 4 AM. People believe that Goddess Mookambika of Kollur attends the first worship here before going to her temple. Another peculiarity of this temple is that the Goddess is not fixed to the ground but rests on a bed of sand. Nearby her, is the idol of Lord Vishnu. Hence the devotees always pray to her along with her brother Lord Narayana and chant 'Amme Narayana'.
The main temple has the golden hued idol of Bhagavathy bedecked with flowers, garlands, and jewels. The idol has four arms with the upper right hand holding the disc, the upper left hand bearing the conch, the lower right hand in a boon-conferring pose and the lower left hand indicating the abhaya pose. The original idol of Bhagavathy facing east is of laterite and is believed to be self-born (swayambhoo). It is called Rudraksha Sila which is irregular in shape, red in colour and is untouched by the human sculptor. This image can be seen only in the wee hours of morning at 4 am when the Nada opens for nirmalyam.
There is an image of Mahavishnu in granite on the same pedestal adjacent to the image of Bhagavathy, to her right. They are together referred to as Lakshminarayana. There are also the idols of Brahma, Siva, Ganapathi (Ganesh), Subramanya and Sastha on the same pedestal.
The idol of the deity in the temple not being fixed to the ground is placed on a pedestal full of loose sand. The water offered during ablution ceremonies percolates underground and joins the tirtha of the Onakkur Bhagawati temple. There is a shrine of Dharma Sastha along with his consorts, Purna and Pushkala on the north-east side of the main temple. The Shiva shrine is on the south-west and Kizhukkavu, the shrine of Bhadrakali is outside the main temple on the eastern side. here is a paala tree on the northeastern side of the kizhukkavu shrine, which is covered with long iron nails hammered on by the haunted victims with their foreheads. The famous pooja Valiya Guruthy performed in kizhukkavu on Fridays is said to cure the women of mental abnormalities.
The sacred doors of the sanctum sanctorum open in the wee hours of the day, at 4.00 a.m. The blowing of the conch and playing of the temple musical instruments lend an enchanting ritualistic rhythm and peace to those who seek a sure answer to the patient prayers. Sree Mookambika Saraswathy is also believed as present in the temple in the morning.
The important festivals of the temple are the Ulsavam, the Makom Thozal, the Navarathri, and the Vrishchicka Mandal Mahotsavam.

Q: Animation inside an adorner (calling OnRender) I'm using an Adorner in .NET 3.5, and I'm able to draw by overriding OnRender, but I need the ability to redraw the adorner to change its appearance.
Essentially I'm looking for a way to clear the drawing context and call OnRender again.  What's the best way to do this, or is there a better approach?
public class MyAdorner : Adorner
{
    private Brush brush = Brushes.Red;

    public DragArrowAdorner(UIElement adornedElement) : base(adornedElement)
    {}

    public void RedrawWithBrush(Brush newBrush)
    {
        brush = newBrush;

        // redraw..?
    }

    protected override void OnRender(System.Windows.Media.DrawingContext drawingContext)
    {
        // some drawing code...
        drawingContext.DrawRectangle(
            brush,
            null,
            new Rect(AdornedElement.DesiredSize));
    }
}

A: It's very important to understand that WPF is not like Windows.Forms. OnRender() should really be called AccumulateDrawingObjects(), because that's what it's doing. WPF accumulates a bunch of drawing objects, which it retains to be able to draw the UI whenever it needs to. The magic of efficiently updating the UI is that you can actually change objects in that visual tree after OnRender().
For example, you can make a DrawingGroup "backingStore", and put that into the DrawingContext during OnRender. Then anytime you want to change the visual, you can DrawingGroup.Open(), put new drawing commands into it, and WPF will efficiently re-render that portion of the UI.
It looks like this:
DrawingGroup backingStore = new DrawingGroup();

protected override void OnRender(DrawingContext drawingContext) {
    base.OnRender(drawingContext);

    Render(); // put content into our backingStore
    drawingContext.DrawDrawing(backingStore);
}

// I can call this anytime, and it'll update my visual drawing
// without ever triggering layout or OnRender()
private void Render() {
    var drawingContext = backingStore.Open();
    Render(drawingContext);
    drawingContext.Close();
}

A: The answer to your question is use InvalidateVisual to cause the OnRender to be called again
However, I would suggest instead of doing custom drawing on OnRender yourself to use the standard styling and visual tree templating to build the actual visual of the adorner. This also means you can run standard XAML animations inside it with storyboards.
If you want to go with this approach, in your adorner class you need to:

*

*in the constructor either call base.AddVisualChild() or create your own visuals collection with the visuals you want to show in the adorner

*override ArrangeOverride(Size size) in order to arrange the children properly;

*override VisualChildrenCount to return the number of children in the adorner visual tree;

*override GetCisualChild(int index) to return a particular child.

You can take a look at the ResizingAdorner MSDN sample for more info.

Every time a new year comes around, we always want to say, "new year, new me." However, do we actually enact change? For many people, the new lifestyle only last for the month of January, and then they fall off the wagon. But what if I were to tell you that there is a way that you can keep up with some of your new year's resolutions from the comfort of your bed?
It has been recently discovered that people can naturally cut out sweets and junk food cravings by simply sleeping more. That's right, SLEEP is the answer.
it puts adults at high risk for a multitude of health conditions. These conditions include "obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke" (Mathewson, 2018). In order to understand these risks more, scientists have conducted many sleep studies to understand exactly how the body responds when subjected to lack of sleep overtime.
Some researchers believe that it has to do with our decision-making skills. MRI scans from sleep deprived individuals show that the brain slowly loses functionality when we receive small amounts of sleep. The main area affected is the area of the brain that is involved in making decisions and rational thinking (Radcliffe, 2016). Therefore, it is believed that, without sleep, we are not thinking clearly enough to choose healthy foods over junk food.
Sleep, though it may seem small, is something that we cannot take for granted. It has become the norm for people to shave off hours of sleep just to maximize the number of hours in a day. Just keep in mind how much it is actually affecting your body in the long run. Make one of your new year's resolutions to get more shut eye IN ADDITION TO going to the gym. Sleep alone is not enough. It is a small fix, and we are looking for big results all 2018.

We would like to invite you to an in-depth discussion led by Rahila Gupta and Ali Kanea, sparked by their recent visit to Rojava on the invitation by the Foundation for the Free Women of Rojava (WAJR), to celebrate the International Women's Day 2016 in solidarity with the Kurdish women's struggle and to support the construction of a free society. Joining them will be the Rohash, the new UK organisation in the Middle East founded on a feminist perspective, representative of Kongra Star (Star Congress) of Rojava.
The meeting provides an opportunity to learn what the women's revolution in Rojava stands for: autonomous women's organisation in all fields of life, the construction of democratic autonomy in Rojava and a system which defends the principle "women's rights are men's rights" throughout society.
In the summer of 2012 the predominantly Kurdish people of Northern Syria, during the Syrian civil war, managed to drive the government troops of the Ba'ath Party of President Assad out of their territory to form a self-governed region: the autonomous democracy of Rojava. Since then, Rojava has been built as an economic model for a democratic, ecologically based and gender equal liberated self-government, which stands as a model for the entire Middle East, providing new hope throughout the world, and reviving international solidarity.
At the centre of Rojava society is the democratic basis of self-government. The explicit foundations of this self-government is the free development and equal legal status of all individuals and ethnic groups, the liberation and equality of women, ecological sustainability and the collective construction of the structures of solidarity.
Women and women's groups are organised into autonomous councils at the level of local councils, as well as those of cities and cantons. Women form and are active in the construction of society in Rojava, and this brings a women's perspective to bear on all aspects of life. In Rojava, women are autonomously organised in every field, from the local councils to the presidency of the cantons, from city government to the security forces, and they enjoy equal representation.
The women's self-defence units of the YPJ, founded in 2013, play a special role in the fight against IS and for the defence of the construction of a democratic society.
The goal of Kongra Star (Star Congress) is the free existence of all ethnic and religious groups in a democratic, ecological and gender equal society. The women's movement actively struggles for a free society against patriarchal structures and mentalities.

Hey there friend! Kahlea here! I'm excited to be finally publishing my first guest post on my blog written by an amazing woman named Kristabel. She's talking all about managing being in college and running a business (my daily struggle) and how you can find a balance between the two. Check it out down below!
College is expensive and difficult. It's also one of the best times to start a business. Then, there's a need to learn to find a balance. If you're going to start a business just because it sounds cool, you should quit now; it will break you. College and business are huge tasks to deal with individually, so combining them will not be easy.
1. PLAN: Let's be a little cliche. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. It's as simple as that. When I first became a virtual assistant, I used to work all day, every day, even on an 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. school day. I was working for long hours – because I didn't plan – and it was completely unnecessary. All I needed to do was plan my day. I started using a calendar, and two clients later I now work less hours for more money. I also now have enough time to eat, sleep, and read. We all have 24 hours, and not even energy drinks can increase them. The sooner you start planning your time the more efficient you become.
2. BE DISCIPLINED: I have a lecturer that checks his emails twice a day: at 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Any emails sent in between would have to wait till the time he checks his emails. If you discipline yourself to work only according to your schedule, you can optimise your 24 hours and not feel like the walking dead.
3. DELEGATE: At some point in your business you will have to delegate tasks to other people. The key is to know when so as not to overwhelm yourself with work. Find a like minded business partner who you can trust to help you out in your business. Two heads are definitely better than one. The sooner you realize that the better; it's twice the adventure and twice the fun. An added advantage is you can have someone to talk to who understands and can help you whenever it gets too overwhelming.
4. USE CHEAP RESOURCES: Your school can be a testing field for so many concepts. Instead of spending time researching online you can always test out new ideas on your classmates. This saves you both time and money. It's often said that if you can convince students to become your customers, you can convince anybody. Universities also give opportunities to gain credits in courses that also help your business grow, so you could take courses that teach you how to better your business. It's a win-win situation for you.
5. PRIORITIZE: To willingly add an extra activity while in school coupled with the load of stuff you have to do is a lot to juggle. This usually means forgoing things that may be of pleasure to you. Depending on the kind of business you do, it could mean less time hanging out with friends watching Netflix. Hence the saying: "work now, have fun later." You have to have your priorities in a row. Understanding the concept of sacrifice will save you a lot of energy.
6. SUPPORT SYSTEM: Always have a support system. A backup to fall on whenever it gets too difficult. You can always call your parents if you have a good relationship with them. It's also beneficial have trusted friends who understand and can talk with you about what's going on in your life. Like I said earlier, a partner could be useful in this regard.
7. MAKE TIME FOR OTHER STUFF: Having and maintaining relationships will always be important within and outside your business. No one wants to be friends with someone who never has time for other stuff. Go to the beach, take a day off, relax and unwind. Whatever it takes to ease the stress, and it's SANE, do it. Go for checkups and watch your health. Exercise! It releases endorphins and makes you happy. You can't do a business if you're dead.
At some point you may have to choose between college and your business. Hopefully by then you're out of college, or brave enough to make the right decision. A business could also be something you decide to sell or continue. Either way, it's a good learning and training experience on how the real world looks like.
Kristabel is a woman with many passions and talents. She's a a Christian, medical student, blogger, virtual assistant and a violin lover, so she knows the difficulty between balancing many duties at once. She started blogging as an effort to inspire others and hopes that as you read her stories it inspires you to start or rewrite yours.

Father and son fly-tippers fined for dumping mattress at Basingstoke recycling site
A member of the public spotted the crime happening and reported it to the council
Emma PengellyReporter
The pair dumped a double mattress by recycling banks in Abbey Road, Basingstoke (stock photo) (Image: Surrey Advertiser)
A father and son have been ordered to pay more than £2,000 between them for fly-tipping a mattress by recycling containers in the road where one of them lives.
Ricardo Gianetti, 44, of Abbey Road in Basingstoke, and his son, Gabriel Gianetti, 19, of Carcaixent Square in Newbury, dumped a large double mattress at the site in Abbey Road on February 20 this year.
The pair pleaded guilty to illegally depositing the household waste and must pay a combined total of £2,151 for the offence.

A member of the public saw the Gianettis park directly next to the recycling containers with the mattress secured to the roof of the car.
On October 5, Basingstoke Magistrates' Court heard the pair were seen exiting the car and Gabriel was observed dragging the mattress towards the recycling area before propping it against the containers.
The incident was reported to Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council whose officers traced the car back to the Gianetti family and interviewed the two men.
The court ordered Ricardo to pay a fine of £800 and an £80 in victim surcharge and Gabriel a fine of £615 and a £61 in victim surcharge. Both men must also pay £200 each towards prosecution costs and £97.50 each in clear-up costs.
Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council's Cabinet Member for Recycling, Waste and Regulatory Services, Hayley Eachus, said: "This prosecution serves as a reminder that dumping waste at recycling sites is considered fly-tipping and offenders will be prosecuted whenever possible.
"These two defendants now have a criminal record as well as a substantial financial penalty to pay as a result of their actions.
"I am very grateful to the member of the public who reported this offence to the council and agreed to support our prosecution against these fly-tippers.
"I hope that this case will encourage other witnesses to come forward and help the council tackle this antisocial and environmental crime."
Since May 2018 the council has convicted 35 individuals and companies for fly-tipping and related waste offences. The offence can be reported to the council by calling 01256 844 844 or by visiting this page.

Project Description: Recently BHP Diamonds Canada has "dewatered" a number of lakes and created a diversion channel to re-route water around two open pit mines. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of the diversion canal as habitat before and after it is enhanced with fish habitat structures and also in relation to natural streams in the area. In early spring Arctic grayling will be captured in weirs placed at both ends of the diversion channel. Sixty fish of a variety sizes will be fitted with radio transmitters. These fish will be released and their movements and habitat use studied. Channel and natural stream habitats will be quantified by ground survey, aerial photography, and transects along the streams. Detailed hydrographic surveys will be made in the diversion channel and one natural stream for use in hydrodynamic and habitat modeling. Benthic invertebrates will be sampled using a surber sampler in each stream as well. Fish will be captured using, dip nets, electrofishing equipment and other fine mesh nets. No fish will be purposely killed. Details of fish collection strategies may be found in the fisheries research permit issued by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans for this project.

Woman Fired for Giving President Trump the "Middle Finger" Files Lawsuit Against Employer
Government Contractor firing employee out of fear of Trump retaliation violates Virginia employment law
(Fairfax, Virginia) – Juli Briskman filed suit in Virginia court today alleging that when Akima LLC forced her to resign, it violated Virginia employment law. Ms. Briskman lost her job in November 2017 after an image of her giving the President's motorcade the "middle finger" went viral. Akima, a government contractor in Herndon, VA, did not want to be associated with opposition to the President.
A resident of Sterling, VA, Ms. Briskman is the 50 year-old single mom of two teenage children. In October 2017, she was out for her weekend bike ride. President Trump's motorcade drove past Ms. Briskman as she was riding. Ms. Briskman responded by raising the middle finger of her left hand to show her opposition to the President.
Journalists accompanying the President photographed her message to the President and shared the images online. They went viral. Stephen Colbert, host of The Late Show, said "No one has summed up the mood of the country better … Long may she wave."
Ms. Briskman disclosed the incident to her bosses at Akima after the image went viral. They forced her to resign, claiming that Ms. Briskman's posting of a photograph of the incident on her Facebook page—which nowhere mentioned her association with Akima—violated Akima's social media policy.
But earlier in 2017, a Senior Director of Operations at Akima injected "You're a fucking Libtard asshole" into a Facebook discussion about Black Lives Matter. And even though the Senior Director's Facebook profile identified himself as an Akima employee, he was allowed to delete the offensive comment and keep his job.
Ms. Briskman's suit states that it violates Virginia employment law for a government contractor to fire an employee out of fear of unlawful government retaliation. Ms. Briskman's suit uses the contrast between her treatment and the Senior Director's treatment to establish that she was forced to resign because of concerns about upsetting the federal government--not the supposed obscenity of the middle finger. It then underscores the suit's critical importance by explaining why permitting business to fireemployees out of fear of unlawful government retaliation imperils the freedom of speech and ultimately American democracy by forcing employees of government contractors to make an impossible choice: their livelihood or their freedom of speech.
"I filed this lawsuit against my former employer today because I believe that Americans should not be forced to choose between their principles and their paychecks. Working for a company that does business with the federal government should provide you with greater opportunities, but it should never limit your ability to criticize that government in your private time. I never imagined that my 'one-finger salute' to the Presidential motorcade and its occupant would cost me my job. The actions of my company were swift and unexpected. It is un-American," Ms. Briskman observed, "to let the government use your own tax dollars to buy your off-duty obedience."
The suit filed by her attorneys Maria Simon and Rebecca Geller of The Geller Law Group in Fairfax, VA and Protect Democracy, a nonpartisan nonprofit dedicated to preventing our democracy from declining into a more authoritarian form of government, argues that Akima violated Virginia employment law by firing Ms. Briskman.
"Juli's expression of disapproval of the President is fundamental political speech protected by both the United States Constitution and Virginia state law," explains her attorney Maria Simon. Ms. Simon argues that "Akima's actions—forcing Juli to resign out of fear of unlawful retaliation by the government—violated the basic tenets of Virginia employment law. Ms. Briskman chose in her private time and in her capacity as a private citizen to express her disapproval of President Trump by extending her middle finger." Maria Simon's law partner Rebecca Geller notes that "Although many will disagree with Ms. Briskman's message and her means of expressing it, there can be no doubt that such speech is at the very core of the First Amendment and the Virginia Constitution."
Cameron Kistler from Protect Democracy explained why Ms. Briskman's case was so important. "Firing an employee because you're afraid of unlawful retaliation by the government is called 'autocratic capture,' and we need to be concerned about it in the United States," Kistler observed. "Particularly in countries like Turkey, Russia, Egypt, Hungary, and Thailand, we see the private sector facilitating the silencing of dissent because the ability to do business is seen as being dependent on being favorable to the regime. There's no reason to believe that it cannot happen here as well, and we should be particularly worried about autocratic capture in Virginia where so many businesses rely on government contracts."

A battle of Stocks – Young Reddit Investors VS Wall Street Elite. Who will Win?
Amandeep Suter January 31, 2021
BusinessNewsPopularStartupsTechTrending
We are witnessing a crazy war between the Wall Street elites and a group of young investors from Reddit. This battle of Stocks has taken the whole world by surprise. It's probably like watching a drama-movie. There's a protagonist, an antagonist, and then there are twists and scenarios. Let's name it, "The Battle of Stocks". Now, let's take a look at each of them, and then you can decide for yourself who your hero is?
The Casts of the movie –
The powerful and influential Wall Street investors.
A group of young traders who are also Redditors. They are challenging Wall Street by driving up the stock prices of small and struggling companies.
How did it begin?
WallStreetBets, a popular Reddit page, operates with a target of shot-selling. For those who are unaware, a short-seller invests in a bet that is going to fall. They operate by borrowing shares to sell with a promise of repurchasing them later.

If they win, they bought low and sold high, making huge profits. But if they lose, which is also called a short-squeeze, they shield or hedge themselves by buying more shares of the company they bet against.
While GameStop was expected to lose money due to the financial loss in sales and because of the pandemic, some investors even backed it up. These investors reasoned that GameStop is severely undervalued. People tend to ignore how important video games have become in current times where we had to spend months at home.
Initial rise
On 11th January 2021, GameStop announced that it had added 3 new directors to its board. One of them was Ryan Cohen, co-founder of Chewy. The initial rise in GameStop's rise was because investors thought bringing Cohen was a great idea. His digital experience will be beneficial for the company.
Now let's look at the events systematically –
On the same day, the stocks rose by 13%.
On 13th January, it rose by 57%. Followed by a 27% rise.
The next week also saw such an uneven rise, with the stock price surging 10% twice and 51% the next day.
This week, GameStop witnessed a rise of 18%, followed by a 93% lift and then a double!
The reason for this massive growth is not the strength or change in the boards of the company. It was the Reddit users!
On 27th January, GameStop stocks ended up at an astonishing 134%, while all the 3 major stock indexes plunged.
In simpler words, in 2020, if you brought a GameStop stock, a single share stock would cost you $4. The same single stock today costs $200.
Redditors are trying this with other brands too –
In case you thought it was just GameStop, Nope! A similar thing happened to the movie theatre chain, AMC, which felt a heavy blow due to the pandemic. On Wednesday, #SaveAMC was trending on Twitter after Redditors decided to surge it up. The Stocks went up by more than 200%.
The automatic halts designed to protect against volatility were triggered by the rapid wise of AMC and GameStop.
The Musk Effect –
The man competing for the richest person in the world, Elon Musk, who also managed to dethrone the Amazon boss once, is one of the most influential persons on the planet, and probably on Mars.
With just a single word, " Gamestonk!!", Elon Musk supported the WallStreetBets on Tuesday. You can imagine the buzz it created worldwide.
Gamestonk!! https://t.co/RZtkDzAewJ
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 26, 2021
Reception –
Most people think this Redditor group is doing a great job challenging the Elite of Wall Street and beating them in their game. The WallStreetBet has more than 7 million following today. In which more than 6 million subscribers have joined this month. Please have a look at the admiration they are getting.
While many investors believe that this is just a bubble and it will soon fade away, once the reality sticks in, one also can't deny that this real-life movie of Battle of stocks was something out of the blue and had a huge impact globally.
Updates –
As of 4th February 2021, GameStop shares came under repeated stress. The stocks fell down up to 30%. The fall is estimated to be around $65.
The crash –
Since early January 2021, the video game seller witnessed the storm of a surge in its stock price which rose up to 2000%, thanks to the stunt by the young Reddit investors.
On January 28, the Shares of GameStop were mounting high at $483 apiece. Currently, it fell down by more than 87% over the last week causing the company's market value to drop off by more than $30 billion. The WallStreetBets community is getting thousands of followings every day. Currently it has over 8 million members.
Its sudden rise was credited to the young reddit traders declaring war on the Wall Street Hedge funds which had bet against the company.
But it seems like the bubble has burst sooner than expected, leading to this massive crash. This fall in the shares of the video game seller could led to heavy loss to some investors who had gained massive amount following the sudden rise of GameStop shares. One such Reddit member named Keith Gill claims that after earning millions of dollars through the rise, he lost nearly $13 million on 2nd February.

Again, not just GameStop –
Its not just the video game selling company, other groups which witnessed a massive rise due to the Social media frenzy such as the movie theatre group, AMC Entertainment saw a drop of over 55% from $20 last week to presently at $7.9. Blackberry also met a similar fate, where its stocks which had climbed to $28, currently fell down to $11.8.
Legal Discusion –
The battle of stocks and its impact on the market will be discussed by the financial regulators and other such officials. The big names include Allison Herren Lee, acting chairwoman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and Janet Yellin, the Treasury Secretary. They will also discuss regarding the matter whether there was any manipulation involved in the market.
Financial Regulators after witnessing the GameStop Mania
Conclusion –
With so many things rounding up. its difficult to comment how far this investing mania will go and what other effects it will have. But on the other side, it also gave us a perspective of how a democratic trading market might look. It will be interesting to see how the story of the Battle of stocks unfolds further.

I'm wondering if anyone has run into this before. I have Alfresco set up as a repository for Moodle. When I browse files in Alfresco from Moodle's File Picker, everything works as expected. When I use the search button however, the search results appear but the broken picture icon appears instead of the appropriate file type icon. This doesn't of course impact the functionality, but it does impact the look and feel.
I hope that makes sense. Anyone have any ideas?

Southborough: MCAS scores steady in district
By Brittney McNamaraDaily News Staff
SOUTHBOROUGH - As Southborough school officials analyze recently released MCAS scores, they said their first impression of the district's performance was positive.
Assistant Superintendent Greg Martineau presented Southborough MCAS trends to the school committee at its Wednesday night meeting, noting steady increases in test scores through the years. Southborough scores from the spring of 2014 were fairly stagnant, but continue to improve.
In the district, 87 percent of students scored proficient or higher in English Language Arts (ELA), and 77 percent were proficient or higher in math. ELA scores were consistently higher than math scores in the district, though the student growth report - which measures individual student growth in one year compared to similarly scoring students from the year before - showed equal improvement.
Since 2011, Martineau said more students continually score in the "advanced" range and fewer in the "needs improvement" and warning range.
Superintendent Christine Johnson said scores from year to year appear stagnant, but each grade level shows improvement as it moves up the ranks.
"What we are putting in place is positive," Johnson said.�"(Scores) are progressing when you consider students change year to year."
The district is still working to improve math scores through digital learning and other efforts, Johnson said.
Martineau said a litany of changes from the state challenge both students and teachers. With new requirements and more focus on the Common Core, Martineau said the changes could reflect in scores.
"The reason why I�m pointing this out is because it�s a lot. Together they�ve created a lot of change," he said. "When there are a lot of things moving, a lot of changes teachers have to take into consideration, how do you navigate that environment?"
Martineau said the school will support teachers to help them adapt quickly to new changes. The district will focus on professional development and aligning curriculum to state standards to create continuity.
The district will hold a community meeting on MCAS scores on Nov. 20 at 6:30 p.m. at Trottier Middle School. Southborough scores are available on the Department of Education website and individual scores were sent out last week. Southborough scores range from grades 3 to 8. Algonquin scores are separate.
In other business, the committee approved next fiscal year�s spending priorities as they head into budget season. The committee voted to fund high priority items identified in their strategic plan, maintain school facilities, guarantee funding to teach students 21st century skills, and invest in quality teachers and professional development.
