Бјелимићи су заједница села која се налазе у југоисточном дијелу општине Коњиц, нешто мање од 30 км од Борачког језера, између планина Височице, Трескавице и Црвња. Имају статус мјесне заједнице.

Назив

Назив Бјелимићи често се погрешно поистовјећује и мијеша с централним дијелом овога краја, са селом Оџаци. Неријетко се може чути да становништво периферних бјелимићких села иде у школу или у продавницу у Бјелимиће. Могуће је да сам назив Бјелимићи вјероватно има везе са бијелим сњежним покривачем јер се сњегови задрже у овом крају нешто дуже него у сусједним мјестима Главатичево и Жупа Загорска. Међутим, у својим истраживањима и сам Павао Анђелић оставља могућност да се назив Бјелимићи може повезати и са средњовјековним презименом Бјелим, односно Бјелимлић. Бјелимлићи су се одселили још за вријеме Османлија. Да то има неке везе показује и већи број стећака у мјесту Полице усред Височице, а један предио у селу Јежепросина у срцу Бјелимића "без икаква разлога" зове се Бјелим. Бјелимићи су предио који попуњава простор између планине Височице и ријеке Неретве.

Историја

У касном средњем вијеку Бјелимићи су били унутар управног среза средњовјековног Велетина. Велетин је са својим управним срезом спадао у жупу Загорје која је и припадала босанској држави. Не зна се да ли је прије ова жупа била у посједу хумских велможа Санковића. У 15. вијеку жупа Загорје била је у посједу хумских војвода Косача. Иако су Бјелимићи били у њиховом посједу, извори од 1442. до 1465. наводе да су у Босни. Сам Велетин први пут се спомиње у историјским изворима 1442, а онда три пута током 1465. године. Један дубровачки извор од 29. јуна 1442. спомиње да Велетин (са читавим Бјелимићима) припада Босни. Извор од 4. априла 1465. доноси закључак да је управитељ града у то доба био познати властелин Јурај Чемеровић. Јурај Чемеровић је био познати дипломата кога је војвода и херцег Стефан Вукчић Косача неколико пута слао у Италију. Чемеровићи су имали свој двор у Оџацима (недалеко од села Дољани) као и своје посједе, који су касније били у тимару бегова Шурковића. Град Велетин се спомиње као посјед Косача у повељама из 1444, 1448. и 1454. Нема података о функционисању града у периоду Османлија. Утврђење Велетин је саграђено далеко од саобраћајница, али се у повељи из 1442. спомиње његово подграђе, гдје се данас налази село Оцркавље. Овај дио херцегове земље пао је под османску власт још 1465. године. Дољани се спомињу у попису санџака вилајета Херцеговина који је направљен у периоду од 1475. до 1477.

Мјесна заједница

Бјелимићи су предио од више села у општини Коњиц. Једно од тих села зове се Оџаци, а од давнина је постојбина беговске породице Шурковић. Ту је било више оџака и три куле. Господари тих кула били су (око 1900) Ферхадбег, Сејдибег (умро 1906) и Ханефија. Сејдибегова кула (14x14 м) и данас је узгор и то приземље и први спрат и у њој се станује. Фехрадбегова је кула (13x9 м) била на два спрата, а исто тако и Ханефијина, која је срушена 1947, а камен је употријебљен за градњу задружног дома. Иако не постоје писани трагови, усменом предајом се преноси да су оснивачи џамије у Оџацима бегови Шурковићи.

Мјесна заједница Бјелимићи је заједница села Оџаци, Јежепросина, Свијенча, Лука, Вранићи, Градељина,Аргуд, Читлук, Горња Љубуча, Доња Љубуча, Мокро, Оцркавље, Дољани, Забрђани, Тиње, Заводац и Стране, Сопот, Велуша, Плочник. Прије рата у Босни и Херцеговини постојала су и села Ситник и Црновићи. Данас нико више не живи у тим селима. Послије рата Бјелимићима су припала и нека од села Жупе Загорске, и то Луко, Брда, Поље, Зеломићи, Љута и Хотовље и шест села са друге стране Неретве, и то Вилишта, Рајац, Гапићи, Совице, Стубљаци и Залужје. Ратна миграција становништва учинила је то да данас у тим селима има по један или два домаћинства. Централни дио мјесне заједнице чини село Оџаци.

From the description, it seems to me more like a "test-runner" than a playtester. Given a "solution script", it just runs through it and makes sure the game gives expected feedback.
I got the good ending (or as good as it gets without obsessively walk-through-ing the bonus stars, which I don't intend to do).
One mechanic (of several) that was completely opaque to me is the hint system. Many of the puzzles have a wall that says "Seek Counsel" - if you try to use it, you get a cryptic error. If I understand correctly, in each of the three zones, there is a boarded up portal. You can open the portal with an axe you get from the third (and last) puzzle world. Each portal leads to an area with SEVERAL tetromino puzzles. Once you solve all of them, you get a "hint credit" - which then you can supposedly spend to "Seek Counsel" when you're stuck on a level - I never resorted to using it.
The theme of the game - philosophical exploration of free will and morality - can be linked to a previous work by the game's Writer, Tom Jubert. He made a text-based game called ir/rational. It's a series of formal logic questions, with a bit of philosophical portal-like narrative.

"On the Boardwalk in Atlantic City, life will be peaches and cream," so goes the song from the post WWII 1940s. More than 700 food industry members flocked to the Ocean Resort Casino in America's Playground the weekend of November 8 to honor Albertsons executive VP of operations and Acme Markets president Jim Perkins at the Mid Atlantic Food Trade Organization's (MAFTO) 15th annual Gala. MAFTO president Chet Dudzinski, ALL Holdings, and his committee headed by Mark Phander, Borden Perlman, kicked the weekend off with a party at Top Golf Friday night followed by a scavenger hunt or painting class (or gambling) Saturday afternoon. At Jim's request, the theme for this year's Gala was "Commitment to Community/Paying it Forward." Before speaking on that subject Saturday evening, he touched on some of Acme accomplishments in 2019 and updated stats for the iconic Philadelphia chain. Today, Acme is comprised of 164 stores in five states employing 17,500 people. Seventeen stores have been remodeled in 2019 and 55 stores now sell beer and wine. Also in 2019, Acme launched Drive Up and Go powered by Instacart to satisfy the needs of its customers. In the coming year, Acme is moving to a 52-week planning calendar, so vendors should be prepared, and many more store remodels are also planned. Jim thanked the vendor community for their participation in Acme's programs from local programs to community support. He then moved on to the night's topic: the importance of donating time, services and goods in an ongoing commitment to our communities and highlighted Acme's 2019 philanthropic initiatives along with those of the entirety of the Gala's sponsors. Presenting sponsor Canada Dry Delaware Valley Bottling Company and the Honickman Family were given special recognition for their philanthropy to the Philadelphia area which is dedicated to the support of projects that promote the arts, health, education, social change and heritage. Lynne and Harold Honickman spoke about their commitment to paying it forward and edged in a little dig on the soda tax, which is a thorn in everyone's side, except the mayor's. MAFTO generously gave $5,000 scholarships to students who currently work for Acme while attending college. They were given in honor of the Honickman Family. Recipients were: Bradley Muller, Patterson University; Hannah Prada, Eastern Connecticut State University; and Mary Beth Giantonio, West Chester University graduate school. In addition to those scholarships, MAFTO gave $5,000 scholarships to the following worthy college students: Lindsay Rock, Penn State; Mollie Mullen, University of Delaware; Thomas McNicholas, St. Joe's; Callie Deola, Scranton University; Emma Patragnoni, St. Joe's; and Lily Schlosky, Rowan College. Congratulations to Jim Perkins and the Honickman Family for their continuing commitment to paying it forward and to MAFTO for a fun-filled weekend!
The consensus about our market is that it is overstored. With what's been happening in the past month or so, that may not be so. Redner's Fresh Market added a new store (formerly a Genuardi's) in Audubon, PA. Giant Food Stores added a ground-up store in East Stroudsburg, PA, two new stores in Columbia and Quarryville as part of the Musser's Markets transaction, and an Heirloom Market (with a very cool space called The Underground on the lower level) in the Northern Liberties neighborhood of Philadelphia. Weis Markets also opened a new ground-up store in Bedminster Twp., Bucks County, in what had been called a food desert, and completed renovations in two Central PA stores in York and Huntingdon. On top of that, Acme just unveiled a total renovation of its Thorndale, PA store where the 2019 holiday walk about took place in late October and the corporate team from Boise flew in to check things out. There's more coming in 2020 with another Heirloom Market, and Sprouts Farmers Markets adding to their footprint plus numerous retailer revamps scheduled. The chess pieces are moving, and with Giant recently being named the official supermarket of the Philadelphia 76ers, who knows what's coming next.
For the past 14 years, Saint Joseph's University (SJU) Academy of Food Marketing (AFM) has presented the Food Industry Summit to food industry members on SJU's campus. Some years have been better than others; this year's summit was excellent, with knowledgeable speakers, relevant topics, and an eager audience. It was the perfect combination for a successful event. There was a good mix of attendees with a few regional retailers in attendance as well. The speakers were passionate about their topics and kept the audience's attention. No snoozing through this day. Kudos to Joe Bivona and Alison Nolan of SJU for putting together an informative event. If you couldn't make it to the FIS this year, SJU has made the presentations available on their website. To view them, go to
https://sites.sju.edu/foodindustrysummit/speakers/. SJU/AFM has scheduled its second annual International Food Summit for March 11, 2020 with the theme "Tastes and Trends…Making Northern Mediterranean Local." My mouth is already watering!
Close to 24,000 attendees from nearly 70 countries attended the Produce Marketing Association's (PMA) 50th anniversary Fresh Summit Convention and Expo in Anaheim, CA in mid-October. There were more than 1,200 exhibiting companies represented, with 250 participants in the Fresh Ideas Showcase in categories including food waste innovation, on the go, certified organics and floral. For the first time, the show floor was segmented to supposedly make it easier for buyers to find suppliers, which got mixed reviews. Another first this year was segmented badges on which buyers identified which segments they purchase from, and buyer badges were color coded accordingly, which was helpful. Also, the Women's Fresh Perspectives Breakfast was sold out at 825 attendees. As they have done in past years, the Fresh Summit exhibitors donated more than 200,000 pounds of fresh produce to Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County, CA. Second Harvest serves more than 250,000 hungry children, seniors and families each month. Food bank volunteers collected the fresh produce directly from the show floor at the Anaheim Convention Center. "Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County truly appreciates the partnership and support of the Produce Marketing Association and the produce industry, collaborating to achieve one of the largest produce rescue operations in our food bank's history. It was amazing for our team to see 24 trucks rolling in with a total of 576 pallets that we distributed to our 300-plus community partners—who then provided it to those who need it most—in record time!" said Harald Herrmann, CEO of Second Harvest. A member of Feeding America's nationwide hunger-relief network, Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County is the largest nonprofit hunger relief organization in Orange County. Since 1983, PMA has worked with food banks in Fresh Summit host cities to help exhibitors donate fresh produce to communities in need. This gift usually amounts to the largest fresh produce donation these food banks receive all year. In the last 14 years alone, PMA has facilitated post-Fresh Summit donations of more than four million pounds of fresh produce. Some years, donations have been diverted to communities experiencing exceptional need. Such was the case in 2017 when donations were also sent to Houston and Florida in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma and again in 2018 when a portion of the donation was sent to communities in the Florida Panhandle recovering from Hurricane Michael. Job well done, PMA! Next year, Dallas will host the expo October 15-17. See y'all then!
Birthday shout outs for the grateful month of November go to: Gary Michael Redner, Redner's; John Saidnawey, JOH; Jim Mullen, Giant/Martin's; Mike Mackin, Schmidt Baking; Mike Marano, Force One; Anthony Maglio Jr., Maglio Sausage; and Bernie Ellis, retired industry veteran. Buon compleanno a tutti with special 100th birthday wishes to John Vena Inc. Here's to another cent'anni!
As we gather with family and friends to celebrate this uniquely American holiday, please
remember those who are without the means to put a Thanksgiving dinner on their tables and say a prayer for our troops at home and abroad who continue to sacrifice every day for our way of life. Happy Thanksgiving!
Quote of the month: "Our personal belief at the end of the day is that we are here to take care of one another." Lynne Honickman

Previous research has reliably demonstrated that people can form false memories or beliefs of certain events from their personal past, and that these false memories and beliefs can have effects on attitudes and behaviour. When someone forms a false memory or belief of a positive/negative experience relating to a specific attitude object, they tend to change their attitude (and sometimes their behaviour) towards that attitude object accordingly. The research presented in this thesis attempted to build on past research by determining whether false memories and beliefs reliably elicited explicit attitude change across a range of attitudinal domains, whether they affected implicit attitudes as well as explicit attitudes, and whether certain individual difference variables and phenomenological characteristics of false memories had an influence on explicit or implicit attitudinal effects. It was consistently found that false memories and beliefs of a positive experience regarding an attitude object resulted in participants reporting significantly more preferential explicit attitudes towards that attitude object. Tentative evidence was found that false memories may be sufficient to affect implicit attitudes, but false beliefs may not. Results highlighted the potential influence of certain phenomenological characteristics of false memories on attitude change, but found limited evidence to suggest any influence of individual difference factors. The predictions and results of these experiments were considered within the context of theoretical frameworks of social cognition.

MO-Illegal Alien Rapist: Tells Victim 'All I Want is Sex!' – Punches Her in Face
by Jim Hoft August 5, 2015
Illegal alien Marvin Castellanos-Rivera dragged his victim into an alley to rape her. He slammed the woman into a wall, put a knife to her throat and punched her in the face.
Universal Free Press reported:
In the early morning hours of Aug. 2, police arrested Marvin Castellanos-Rivera, 26, after he reportedly dragged a woman into an alley and attempted to rape her.
Shortly after midnight, the victim, who was walking north on Market Avenue near College Street, was grabbed from behind by Castellanos-Rivera and slammed into a wall, according to court documents.
The Mexican national then covered the woman's mouth with one hand, while holding a knife to her throat with the other.
KY 3 reported:
She said she saw a man riding a bicycle and yelled for help but the man kept riding and looked at her "like he did not know what to do," according to the probable cause statement against Castellanos-Rivera.
The woman told police that her attacker punched her in the face and told her "don't look at my face." The woman said she begged the man not to rob her and he replied, "all I want is sex," according to the probable cause statement. The man then pulled down her shorts.
An affidavit from the Greene County Prosecutor's Office states:
Defendant held a knife to victim's throat, pushed her against a wall and pul1ed her shorts down approximately six inches. Defendant punched the victim on the left side of her face. This defendant is clearly a threat to the community and this victim in particular.
Defendant is also a flight risk; defendant told officers that he has been deported prior to this incident. Defendant stated that he was allowed to come back into the country for a month to take care of child support issues.


Located on the shores of the Caloosahatchee River in the Fort Myers community of Gulf Harbor Golf & Country Club, the 13,000-square-foot home of Ambassador Alfred Hoffman and wife Dawn is a Mediterranean muse. Named Casa de Suenos, which translates as "House of Dreams," the residence mirrors the palaces of southern Spain with its whitewashed facade, red-tile roof, outdoor terraces and private courtyards.
Not surprisingly, authenticity was key to the design — both inside and out. "This home captures the feeling of a home in Andalusia that has been added onto as the family and fortune grew," says designer Joan Simonsen-Hickok, who has worked with the Hoffmans on five other projects. A summer spent in the south of Spain visiting palazzi in the countryside and churches in Seville and Cordoba was the inspiration for Simonsen-Hickok's design.
In fact, the home appears so authentic that many guests, whom the Hoffmans have entertained or those who have attended charity and political fundraising events at the estate, have incorrectly guessed its true age. "People think the home is 100 years old," architect Rick Gonzalez says. And that's exactly what the Hoffmans wanted.
In addition, Ambassador Hoffman, who founded renowned builder/developer WCI Communities, Inc., wanted to build a home in which he and Dawn could live comfortably and entertain. Appointed by President Bush in July 2005 as the ambassador to Portugal, Alfred, along with Dawn, "wanted room for entertaining without it feeling like an auditorium," Gonzalez says. "They wanted the indoor and outdoor spaces to flow."
The interior design of the home evolved over two years. Simonsen-Hickok and senior designer Wendy Klingensmith spent much of that time immersed in research, shopping for antiques and overseeing custom reproductions. Such excursions resulted in a collection of 16th- to 19th-century European antiques and furnishings that convey the feel of having been passed down through generations.
Despite its size, Casa de Suenos exudes warmth and intimacy with its gentle unveiling of spaces, beginning with the majestic foyer. Historical accuracy was so important, that the design team brought in Wm. Thorning Little, a Sarasota architect known for his expertise in Mediterranean motifs, to design the turret and incorporate the floating stone stairway. "I also worked with them on the ceilings, proportions and the connection of spaces," Little says.
A rope banister swags along the stairway wall — "a feature in many European homes," Simonsen-Hickok says. The first of many antiques sits in the center of the space — a 17th-century Spanish brazier from the San Simeon collection of William Randolph Hearst. Moorish-patterned terracotta flooring, the hallmark of Spanish design, enhances the Andalusian flavor of the estate.
The colors for the living room were pulled from an antique Oushak area rug, whose field of ocher, blue and raspberry hues inspired the fabrics on the chairs and sofas. Two conversation areas are defined by back-to-back sofas — one facing an Italian limestone fireplace, the other facing a 16th century-style Italian cabinet.
"The living room is the heart of the home," Klingensmith says. "The vibrant warm colors and patterns of the textiles and finishes create a warm candlelit glow. The furniture, accessories and lighting are like jewels — each one is special and can be admired individually or as a whole. The living room is luxurious but inviting and livable at the same time." Adding to the room's collected look is a carved Portuguese armchair, a century-old Steinway piano and Gothic lantern light fixtures. Lustrous hand-finished walls further the room's Old World patina.
This aged patina transitions to regal elegance in the dining room with rich, burnt-sienna walls. Similarly hued velvet draperies with gold-leaf stenciling and cut-velvet chairs add to the room's stately demeanor. Two custom-designed wrought-iron chandeliers hang above the hand-planed Spanish table.
In addition to the formal dining room, the Hoffmans enjoy two other areas that afford exquisite views. French doors line the inviting dining area of the family room, which overlooks the Caloosahatchee River. Furnished with a Spanish table and hand-painted, gilded Portuguese chairs, the room provides a less formal space for family gatherings.
Also light and airy, the breakfast room features a hand-painted pedestal table and iron chairs, where the Hoffmans enjoy their morning coffee with the sunny courtyard, complete with fountain and koi pond, as their backdrop.
The gallery leading to the first-floor master suite offers a fitting prelude to the bedroom with its collection of antiques. In the master bedroom, 16th-century putti watch over a carved-wood, Italian-inspired bed. Such cherubs are traditionally found in Seville and Cordoba churches. Gothic touches in the bedside chest and painted wall tracery add another layer of Renaissance influence to the design.
Old World motifs further characterize the master bath — from the hand-stenciled, pewter claw-foot tub to the decorative wall tiles and terracotta flooring. A Moorish arch to the shower completes the cultural blend of elements.
"Entering this house feels like you're stepping back in time," Simonsen-Hickok says.

The contemporary Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort puts an interesting spin on inside-the-park accommodations. Guests love the Swan and Dolphin Resort's comfortable and clean rooms, which are decorated in soft teal and orange tones and feature the brand's signature Heavenly Beds, crisp white duvet covers and flat-screen TVs. The amenities are bountiful, too, with the Camp Dolphin kids program and advance tee times at Walt Disney World's golf courses. The property also houses the Balinese-style Mandara Spa, multiple pools (including one with waterfalls and a waterslide) and even a beach (complete with sand volleyball courts). However, some recent guests weren't entirely satisfied with their stay, citing customer service snafus and outdated decor as reasons to bed down elsewhere. You'll find the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort just minutes from Epcot by water taxi.

The ceilings are a bit low, the staff a little distracted, but the location never quits: You can walk to Epcot in 15 minutes and Hollywood Studios in 20, avoiding the bus. ... The Dolphin is essentially a business hotel for conferences, although it strives to welcome families, too (rooms fit five and its grotto pool is inviting). Some rooms in the Dolphin's Center Tower have terrific views into Epcot.
Proudly nestled atop this hotel, the elegant, iconic swan statues create a warm welcome for guests. The comfortably designed, modern rooms are a joy to retire to at the end of a busy day. Abundant on-site activities will tempt you to stay in and recoup from off-site activities.

Take The GO Train to Niagara Falls!
After many petitions, proposals, and negotiations, Niagara is going to become the newest stop on the commuter railway. You will soon be able to take a speedy Go train to Niagara Falls. Construction will begin next year. Finally, a GO train from Toronto to Niagara Falls!
Residents of the region are bracing for the exciting new opportunities that the GO train expansion will bring, including easy travel to Toronto and economic development for the Niagara Region.
Niagara continues to prove that it's an up-and-coming area for businesses and high-end development projects, and the GO train service will only increase this.
What Does This Mean for Real Estate in the Niagara Region?
The new service to Niagara will be an extension of the Hamilton line. Riders will be able to take the train up and down the Lakeshore corridor, or get out and switch lines to head toward the Barrie area.
In total, the GO train expansion will total an addition of 30 kilometres of train track and more passenger trains.
Niagara Falls will receive a high-end train layover facility, with plenty of amenities for passengers who are waiting for their next train.
Niagara is going to benefit in so many ways from having the GO service right at our doorstep.
Commuters can easily get to work.
The local Niagara economy will grow.
The region will attract more visitors who can now make a quick trip from Toronto and back!
City officials have been working on a proposal for the last few years, and according to Niagara's GO team, they've had to overcome at least 17 different barriers to get a commitment.
The biggest barrier for the project has been the issue of crossing the Welland Canal. Any commuter who has to travel across this seaway regularly knows the struggle when that bridge starts to go up. You can get stuck waiting anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes. Sometimes this can be longer if there's more than one boat going through.
GO train service cannot run the risk of this issue, since trains run according to a very tight schedule that must coordinate with other transportation services in the area.
Niagara officials and Seaway representatives have reached an agreement to figure out this issue. The solution is either a new bridge or a tunnel that won't interfere with the canal, and a certain number of dedicated crossings a day.
Negotiations with the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) have also taken up a lot of the planning time, as the CPR owns the majority of the track the new GO train will use. A fixed price for the expansion hasn't been settled yet, so these discussions are still ongoing.
A lot of coordination and planning goes into a huge project like this, but the outcome is well worth it.
Toronto Union Station. Go Train to Niagara and back to Toronto.
So When can you Expect to Buy Your Ticket?
Work will begin in 2017 and continue to 2023, when construction in Niagara Falls will complete the expansion.
Grimsby is the first stop that will be added to the new extended corridor. This construction is estimated to be ready to GO by 2021.
With the construction of this GO train expansion comes the luxury of new and improved train stations. All of the stations will receive the best upgrades and most current technology.
Existing VIA Rail stations in St. Catharines and Niagara Falls will be upgraded, remodelled, and renovated. These stations will give riders a more sophisticated experience. Niagara Falls will also be turned into the layover facility. Grimsby will receive a brand new GO Train station.
With GO service heading to Niagara Falls, transportation options will have an overhaul.
You can easily hop on the GO train and head to Toronto to see a Blue Jays game or your favourite artist when they come to town.
If you have relatives living in the GTA, visiting them during any time of the year will be easy. You won't have to avoid the roadblocks from various events, like the Canadian National Exhibition or the annual parades.
In fact, you can hop on the GO train and get to any event earlier than anyone taking a car.
Taking the GO train on your trips to Toronto means that you'll be able to completely avoid the constant Toronto traffic and always be on time wherever you're going. No more taking the risk of rush hour traffic or lane closures from never-ending highway construction.
Upper Vista will be the perfect location for easy, stress-free vacation living close enough to Toronto that a day trip is quick and convenient. You get the best of both worlds, and never have to compromise.
The 18th hole of John Daly's signature Thundering Waters golf course provides the pristine location for this luxury condo. This offers residents breathtaking views of the water, forests, and falls.
On a good day, you'll be able to see Toronto right from your window!

Gemfields
Gemfields is a world-leading supplier of responsibly sourced, coloured gemstones. Gemfields is the operator and 75% owner of both the Kagem emerald mine in Zambia (believed to be the world's single largest producing emerald mine) and the Montepuez ruby mine in Mozambique (one of the most significant recently discovered ruby deposits in the world). Gemfields believes that those who mine gemstones should do so with transparency, legitimacy and integrity.
Gemfields introduced the most technologically advanced coloured gemstone sort house in the world at its operations in Mozambique, with state-of-the-art equipment, like optical sorting machines. In addition, a proprietary grading system, pioneering auction platform and an active marketing presence means Gemfields plays a significant role in the rise of African gemstones. This endeavour is coupled with a strong belief that coloured gemstones should create a positive impact for the country and community from which they originate.
Responsible sourcing for Gemfields means industry-leading policies and practices across operations, transparency in our auction sales process, an active role in working groups to modernise the sector, projects to improve health, education and livelihoods for the communities around our mines and conservation efforts (#conservationgemstones) to protect Africa's great wildlife and biodiversity.
As well as supplying the majority of the world's rough rubies and emeralds, Gemfields initiates activations to build desire for coloured gemstones. Gemfields creates collaborations with many partners and international jewellery brands, including Fabergé, an iconic name with an exceptional heritage and a member of the Gemfields Group. Often surprising, unexpected and unique, these collaborations are chosen to promote consumer awareness, appeal and education of coloured gemstones, raising their profile and, in turn, providing greater benefit to their place of origin in Africa. Aligning with the arts and fashion worlds to expand to audiences beyond the confines of jewellery, gemstones lend themselves to a more detailed study in order to appreciate their rare geological formation, ascribed meanings and unique properties. Gemfields is partnering with artists across the world to highlight the exceptional properties of emeralds and rubies, such as colour, character, and the story of discovery.

Israeli Settler Terrorism
August 6, 2015 Palestina	Leave a comment
The following report highlights Israel's terror attacks by settlers in the occupied West Bank, including occupied East Jerusalem. Since 2004, Israeli settlers have carried out more than 11,000 attacks against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. The settlers attack our people, homes, churches, mosques, trees and even poison our water. Not a single settler is currently imprisoned for the commission of such dreadful crimes.

The Environmental Impact of the Israeli Occupation
May 4, 2015 Palestina
By Jad Isaac
14 March 2000'Part of the 'Fertile Crescent,' historic Palestine is positioned at the crossroads between Eurasia and Africa. It hosts over 2,500 species of wild plants, 800 of which are rare, and some 140 of which are limited to particular areas; at least 80 species of wild mammals, and 380 species of birds are native to Palestine. This rich biodiversity is supported by tremendous climatic variation within a small area.
Unfortunately, it is now difficult to recognize the land that was described by early visitors as 'flowing with milk and honey.' Barren hills have replaced once-rolling woodland covered with thickets and forests, and grasslands have turned into deserts. A fetid trickle of sewage now runs where the Jordan River once flowed. The water level in the Dead Sea is so low that it is now divided into two separate seas. In short, the land is degraded, suffering from years of environmental mismanagement and neglect that has only worsened during the past 33 years of Israeli occupation.
Jewish Settlements:
Since the June 1967 war, Israel has colonized the Occupied Territories by building settlements in Gaza (housing 5,000-7,000 settlers) and in the West Bank (housing 380,000 settlers, 190,000 of them in and around East Jerusalem). The settlements are commonly positioned on hilltops overlooking Palestinian communities, and the wastewater from many is discharged into nearby valleys without treatment, polluting adjacent Palestinian communities'among them Wadi Qana, Qatanna, Nahhalin, Al-Khader, Al-Jania, Al-Walajeh, Dura, and Bani Na'im.
Moreover, solid waste generated in Israel is dumped without restriction in the Occupied Territories. Solid waste from West Jerusalem, for example, is transferred to the unsanitary West Bank dumping site at Abu Dis, which overlays the infiltration area of the Eastern Aquifer. Similarly, the Jewish settlements of Ariel, Innab, Homesh Alon Morieh, Qarna Shamron, Kadumim, and many others dump their solid waste in the West Bank, as do many military camps and communities located inside Israel.
Relocation of Israeli Industries:
Israel has moved many of its polluting industries from Israel to the Occupied Territories. For example, Geshuri Industries, a manufacturer of pesticides and fertilizers originally located in Kfar Saba in Israel, was closed down by Israeli court order in 1982 for pollution violations. In 1987, it relocated to an area adjacent to Tulkarm inside the West Bank, where its waste has damaged citrus trees, polluted the soil, and possibly poisoned the groundwater. The Dixon industrial gas factory, formerly located in Netanya inside Israel, has also moved into the same area.
Industrial Waste:
The Israeli government has constructed at least seven industrial zones in the West Bank. Located mainly on hilltops and occupying a total area of approximately 746 acres, these industries produce industrial wastewater and solid waste that often pollute adjacent Palestinian lands.
Information about industries in the Israeli industrial zones'including the amount and types of goods they produce, the labor they employ, and the waste they generate'is not available to Palestinians. The wastewater and solid waste these industries produce, however, provide important clues about the type and extent of industrial activity. At least 200 factories are located in the West Bank, notably aluminum, leather-tanning, textile-dyeing, battery, fiberglass, plastic, and other chemical factories.
Clear evidence that Israeli factories operating in the Occupied Territories do not follow pollution prevention measures is provided by the Barqan industrial zone, which houses factories producing aluminum, fiberglass, plastic, electroplating, and military items. Industrial wastewater from this zone flows untreated to the nearby valley, damaging agricultural land belonging to the Palestinian villages of Sarta, Kufr Al-Deek, and Burqin, and polluting the groundwater with heavy metals. In the central part of the Gaza Strip, the Israeli settlement of Kfar Darom releases sewage and chemical waste from its industrial plants to the Al-Saqa valley.
Illegal Movement of Hazardous Waste:
Despite the fact that Israel is a signatory of the 1992 Basel Convention, which bans the illegal movement of hazardous waste, it transfers such waste, generated inside Israel, to the West Bank. The Palestinian Authority (PA) has discovered several violations:
1. In 1998, Israel illegally dumped several truckloads of toxic and hazardous waste near the eastern border of the Tulkarm municipality and near the residential area of the 'Azzoun municipality'50 meters from its well for drinking water;
2. An Israeli company, Telbar, moved its medical waste disposal site from Afulla inside Israel to a site close to the Jewish settlement of Yafit in the Jordan valley;
3. A paint factory located in the Israeli settlement of Ganim has dumped its hazardous and toxic wastes in the Palestinian village of Umm Al-Tut.
Moreover, according to a study published by The Center for Development Work in Ramallah, Israeli companies are flooding the Palestinian market with internationally banned pesticides. Their Israeli manufacturers are also using Palestinian land to test new pesticides.
Military Areas, Bases, and 'Nature Reserves':
Israel has declared 290,970 acres of the West Bank (20.2 percent of its total area), mostly in the Jordan valley, as closed military areas, and has created an additional 29 closed military areas in Gaza (420 acres). Moreover, Israel maintains 71 military bases in the West Bank (totaling some 9,563 acres). Although most of these areas have low agricultural value, they constitute the major grazing areas in the West Bank. Since Palestinian pastoralists are denied access to these areas, the remaining grazing areas suffer from severe overgrazing and are under threat of permanent desertification.
Furthermore, the wildlife and rich biodiversity that characterize these areas are harmed by the use of heavy military vehicles and tanks.
Israel has also created 48 West Bank 'nature reserves' (covering 5.68 percent of the West Bank), mostly on the Eastern Slopes and in the Jordan valley. Palestinians question the ecological value of these reserves, which they view as another method used by Israel to deny Palestinians access to their land.
Deforestation and Uprooting of Trees:
According to a recent study by the PA Ministry of Agriculture, the total area in the West Bank and Gaza officially designated as forest land decreased from 300,736 dunums in 1971 to 231,586 dunums in 1999 (one dunum is 1,000 square meters). More than half of the affected areas are in Gaza, where 95 percent of the forests have disappeared (from 42,000 dunums in 1971 to 2,000 dunums in 1999).
About 80 percent of this deforestation is attributable to the Israeli occupation: to the establishment of military bases (two percent), to settlements (78 percent), and to bypass roads (less than one percent). Local Palestinians are responsible for deforesting 14 percent of the land, while the remaining six percent is privately owned.
Moreover, the Israeli army and Jewish settlers have uprooted more than half-a-million fruit trees, mainly olive trees, on privately owned land. While the British Mandate government, and later the Jordanian Administration, first implemented and later accelerated afforestation programs in the West Bank and Gaza, all afforestation programs ended with the Israeli occupation.
Desertification:
Approximately 2.18 million dunums (35 percent of the West Bank and Gaza Strip) are natural grazing areas. Only 47 percent of the total grazing area is accessible to Palestinian livestock owners, while the remainder has been confiscated for Israeli settlements, nature reserves and closed military areas. Overuse of the accessible areas has resulted in progressive desertification.

Dental implants provide patients with a more comfortable, natural-feeling alternative to dentures and bridges. Dr. Ben Elchami is a leading provider of dental implant restorations in Midtown East, Manhattan, using advanced techniques and materials to help Chami Dental patients look and feel their best.
Dental implants are used to replace teeth that have been lost due to decay or trauma. An implant is made up of three main "parts": the metal post that's implanted into the jaw, a dental crown or artificial tooth that acts to replace the missing tooth, and an abutment piece that connects the post and the crown. The crown is made of durable tooth-colored material and shaped to look and feel just like a natural tooth. Implants can also be used to attach dentures comprising many teeth, and in patients who have one or more baby teeth that aren't naturally replaced by adult or permanent teeth. Dr. Elchami places dental implants using state-of-the-art imaging techniques to establish the best placement as well as ensure optimal long-term functionality of the implant. In an implant procedure, the dentist places the metal post in the jaw bone, performing a bone graft when needed to supplement and strengthen the existing jaw bone, so the implant is completely secure. Once the implant post is in place, and the surrounding bone tissue has healed around it, the abutment and then the crown are placed on top, using a secure attachment technique.
What are the benefits of implants over bridges and dentures?
Most patients prefer implants because they're much more secure. Since they're attached directly to the jaw bone, they can't slip and slide like a denture, which means there's no risk of embarrassment or sore spots, which can lead to painful infections. Implants are also easier to care for than dentures or bridges, requiring the same type of care as natural teeth - regular brushing and flossing and routine dental checkups to ensure the implant is in good shape and the surrounding tissues are healthy. Implants are also an ideal solution for areas of the mouth where a bridge can't be placed or where a bridge isn't an ideal solution. Plus, unlike a bridge, an implant "stands" on its own without putting excessive stress on neighboring teeth, a common occurrence with bridges that attach to the teeth on either side.
What can I do to maintain my dental implant?
In order to maintain a dental implant, one of the most important steps a patient can take is to follow proper oral hygiene habits. Brushing and flossing regularly keeps the gums surrounding the teeth healthy, preventing gum disease and deep infection that can eventually cause the implant post to become weak. Visiting the dentist every 6 months is also important for making sure minor issues are identified and treated as soon as possible, before major problems develop. It's also essential for patients to avoid biting down on hard objects and to avoid using their teeth as prying instruments. This is all good advice for natural teeth as well as dental implants.

This Device Is the Most Sensitive Instrument in the Search for Life in Space
By Crystal Jones on October 3, 2020

Researchers at the University of Bern have developed the highly sensitive ORIGIN instrument, which can provide proof of the smallest amounts of traces of life, for future space missions. Space agencies such as NASA have already expressed interest in testing ORIGIN for future missions. The instrument may be used on missions to the ice moons of Europa (Jupiter) and Enceladus (Saturn), for example.
The question of whether life exists beyond the Earth is one of humanity's most fundamental questions. Future NASA missions, for example, aim to examine the ice moons of Jupiter and Saturn, which may potentially shelter life in the liquid oceans underneath the thick layer of ice, on the ground. Proving traces of life beyond the Earth is extremely challenging, however. Highly sensitive instruments that take measurements on the ground with the greatest possible degree of autonomy and with high precision – millions of kilometers from the Earth and thus without direct support from humankind – are required.
An international group of researchers under the leadership of Andreas Riedo and Niels Ligterink at the University of Bern have now developed ORIGIN, a mass spectrometer that can detect and identify the smallest amounts of such traces of life. They describe the instrument in a recently published article in the specialist journal Nature Scientific Reports. Niels Ligterink from the Center for Space and Habitability (CSH) is the lead author of the international study, and co-author Andreas Riedo from the Physics Institute at the University of Bern developed the instrument in the laboratories of the space research and planetary sciences division of the Physics Institute. Various international space agencies, particularly NASA, have already expressed interest in testing ORIGIN for future missions.
New instrument required
Since the first Mars mission "Viking" in the 1970s, humanity has been searching for traces of life on Mars using highly specialized instruments that are installed on landing platforms and rovers. In its early years, Mars was Earth-like, had a dense atmosphere, and even liquid water. However, as Niels Ligterink explains, Mars lost its protective atmosphere over the course of time: "As a result of this, the surface of Mars is subjected to high solar and cosmic radiation which makes life on the surface impossible." NASA's "Curiosity" rover is currently examining Mars in detail but with no concrete indications of traces of life to date.
Since the discovery by the Cassini and Galileo missions of the global oceans beneath kilometers of ice layers on Jupiter's moon Europa and Saturn's moon Enceladus, these two bodies have increasingly become the focus of the search for extraterrestrial life for researchers. According to current knowledge, the oceans have all of the properties which are not only needed for the occurrence of life, but also which provide environments in which life can exist in the long term. NASA, therefore, plans to land a mission on Jupiter's moon Europa around 2030 and take measurements on the ground. The goal: Identification of life. Co-author Prof. Dr. Peter Wurz from the Physics Institute at the University of Bern says: "Concepts which were specially developed for Mars cannot be simply applied to other bodies in our solar system because they are very different. New instruments with higher sensitivity and simpler and more robust analysis systems must be designed and used".
Unprecedented measurement sensitivity for proof of life in space
ORIGIN is one such new instrument that outperforms previous space instruments many terms over in terms of its measurement sensitivity. Various international space agencies have expressed great interest in the instrument for future missions. Andreas Riedo says: "NASA has invited us to participate and test our instrument in the Arctic. The Arctic is the optimal test environment in the context of the EUROPA LANDER mission, which should start in 2025, which will allow us to demonstrate the performance of ORIGIN."
Amino acids are key components of life as we know it on Earth. Contemporaneous proof of certain
Amino acids are a set of organic compounds used to build proteins. There are about 500 naturally occurring known amino acids, though only 20 appear in the genetic code. Proteins consist of one or more chains of amino acids called polypeptides. The sequence of the amino acid chain causes the polypeptide to fold into a shape that is biologically active. The amino acid sequences of proteins are encoded in the genes. Nine proteinogenic amino acids are called "essential" for humans because they cannot be produced from other compounds by the human body and so must be taken in as food.
" class="glossaryLink ">amino acids on extraterrestrial surfaces, such as those of Europa, allow conclusions to be drawn about possible life. The measurement principle developed by the Bern-based researchers is simple. Niels Ligterink explains: "Laser pulses are directed at the surface to be examined. In the process, small amounts of material are detached, the chemical composition of which is analyzed by ORIGIN in a second step". Andreas Riedo adds: "The compelling aspect of our technology is that no complicated sample preparation techniques, which could potentially affect the result, are required. This was one of the biggest problems on Mars until now," says Riedo. The amino acids which have been analyzed with ORIGIN to date have a specific chemical fingerprint which allows them to be directly identified. Niels Ligterink: "To be honest, we didn't expect that our first measurements would already be able to identify amino acids."
The discovery of traces of past or present life on bodies in our solar system beyond the Earth is of great importance for a better understanding of the existence of life in the universe and its genesis. Andreas Riedo says: "Our new measurement technology is a real improvement on the instruments currently used on space missions. If we are taken along on a future mission, we may be able to answer one of humanity's most fundamental questions with ORIGIN: Is there life in space?"

Arthur J. Bodmer Jr. was born on 14 September 1922 in Portsmouth, Scioto Co., Ohio, to Arthur J. Bodmer (1903-1948) and Myrtle Louise (Newman) Bodmer (1902-1924) then Vola Ailsie (Van Winkle) Bodmer (1907-2001). A paternal grand-uncle was Glen Morris (1909-2002). Living with him and his father in 1930 was his paternal grandmother, Anna Elizabeth (Norman) Bodmer (1862-1939) (widowed – Jacob Henry Bodmer (1855-1908). His step-mother was Viola A. Bodmer (1907-2001).
After enlisting, he completed flight instruction through advanced schools and was multi-engine rated. He earned his commission and pilot wings. He was sent overseas to India. On 22 October 1944, a flight of B-24Js, including # 44-40588, # 44-40992, and # 44-70414, assigned to 10th Air Force, 7th Bomb Group, 493rd Bomb Squadron, departed the airfield at Pandaveswar, India, on a bombing mission over Moulmein, Burma. The bombers were hit by anti-aircraft fire, collided, and crashed, exploding. Five minutes after bombing the target at about 1202 hours, the formation was attacked by eight to twelve enemy fighters.

The daughter of the Leps failed blind audition in the show "the Voice"
Inga Leps are not committed to the team, no mentor. Despite the fact that sat on the jury of the famous daddy's girl, he never made concessions for the sake of their own child and advised her to continue to vigorously engage in the vocals.
While they are shooting a new season of the sensational project of the First channel "Voice". Dozens of participants dream to get on the big stage and impress the jury with their votes. Try your luck trying to beginning artists and experienced singers.
Became known the names of mentors, the new season of the show "the Voice"
Among participants who wanted to like the strict jury, which "StarHit" declassified last week, was the daughter of Grigory Leps Inga. 31-year-old girl was on the third day of blind auditions when future mentors gather a team. She had to speak in front of strict judges Leonid Agutin, Polina Gagarina, Dima Bilan and his father, sitting turned away from the scene and can judge only by his vocal abilities. At the end of his speech, Inga was waiting for a bitter disappointment.
"Unfortunately, Inge nobody turned, – said the "StarHit" on the set of "the Voice". – Grigory Viktorovich, judging by the facial expression recognized her immediately. But as they say, professionalism is more important than family ties. When Inga had ended and the jury could see someone in front of them, Gregory took the floor and advised the daughter to work out another year".
Inga said "StarHit", which is not much upset about the fact that not auditioned for the show.
"All right, just did not expect that bad sing. Not heard, unfortunately, myself – and yet I can't say what I did correctly. But all honest! Will do!" – shared his impressions of the girl.
Recall that before the blind auditions that took place in Moscow in the last days of August, got about 150 applicants. Musicians throughout the years participated in the auditions throughout Russia. In July was the selection in the capital. Try your luck and fight all their talent came a lot of artists whose names already known to the public. Among them were ex-"fabrikantki Sogdiana and Yulia Mikhalchik, the former husband of actress Anastasia Makeeva, Gleb Matveichuk, not the first time trying to get to the project, but did not last beyond the first round, the star of the show "Junior" Ivan Dubrovsky, star photographer Vladimir Shirokov.
Apparently, viewers will have to wait for a lot of surprises from the creators of the project. The show promises to be entertaining and interesting, and a special mood created by famous mentors, who, despite the fact that kept in suspense all the participants, trying every way to cheer up the contestants and to select the strongest to their teams.

Last week I waxed on about the perfect pairing of peanut butter and banana. Now let's obsess about peanut butter's other match made in heaven: JAM.
Peanut butter and jam is a classic pairing. PB&J sandwiches have been stuffed into kids lunch boxes since the beginning of time. It's one of those classic combinations that is the perfect combination of sweet, salty, creamy, with a hint of peanutty crunch, and is just overall YUMS.
Peanut butter and jam isn't just a great sandwich – it makes a fun oatmeal! Like eating a sandwich with a spoon! …Is that weird?
Peanut Butter and Jam Stovetop Oatmeal will bring you child-like glee! It's got that delicious PB&J taste in the more adult vehicle of a bowl of oatmeal.
Stovetop oatmeal is mixed with two generous scoops of peanut butter, then served warm with a drizzle of your favourite jam, and garnished with fresh fruit and chopped peanuts.
Give this recipe a try! Your kids will love it.
Peanut Butter and Jam Stovetop Oatmeal will bring you child-like glee! Delicious PB&J taste in the adult vehicle of an oatmeal bowl.
In a medium-size pot over medium-high heat, add oats, water, milk, and vanilla, and bring to a boil.
Once oatmeal boils, lower heat to a simmer and simmer until thickened, approx 5 minutes.
Stir in peanut butter, until fully incorporated.
Serve in bowls with a generous drizzle of jam, an additional scoop of peanut butter, fresh berries, and chopped peanuts on top.
Serves 2-4 depending on portion sizes.
pb&j has always been my choice of sandwich since I can remember, so it's no secret that I'm swooning over these oats! They look oh so thick and creamy!
It's such a classic combo!
Thanks Jane! Glad you loved it.
This is my kind of PJB. Yum!!
