A New Look At Wellness - It's more than keeping fit, eating right, and brushing your teeth!
It is my guess that we all want to live to the max. That's the premise that Balanced Lifestyle Wikipedia is based on – living optimally and being alert to the barriers and buffers that sabotage the fulfillment of our potential. You'll find no doctrines presented here; no dependence on any tradition, no beliefs or recommended rituals. In fact they can all be part of the problem; part of the dumbing-down process that keeps us anesthetized.
In my view we are all unique, and face the challenge of becoming more conscious through our own individual understanding and experience. We may need to go it alone, but connecting with others on parallel journeys can be a support when the going gets tough. If that's the company you're after, Balanced Lifestyle Wikipedia could be your kind of journal.
So, there it is! I can safely promise you a riveting read.


The expression "essay" to English includes a relatively mediocre perspective, since its old beginnings are French and Latin. The essay is usually a constitution of a simple prosaic genre, a small sound level and zero cost term, and lots of educational facilities, which includes English academic institutions for youngsters, at present call for that young people learn the rules of crafting essays in Language. The explanation for this really is the inclusion of this task in a single condition exam. Let's endeavor to find out how to create an essay around the Language language, to ensure that it totally complies together with the needed regular. To create the function prior to was given only 40 a short time, which required to become disposed together with the mind: meticulously study the task, write down a program for your upcoming design and put it in writing. In 2012, there had been modifications within the standards and assigned added time for those test in a international vocabulary, it can be successfully spent on posting essays. In addition, this holiday season, the activity program is defined, which will be a superb aid to the long term polyglot. The typical capacity in the essay is 200-250 phrases, all that is certainly smaller sized in dimensions is approximated at points.


Young people look up to race car drivers and others in the different sports and we can use that to our advantage to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with them. I didn't go to church much when I was young but seeing Christ in my wife showed me just what I was missing and that I wanted what she had. Racing is full of ups and downs and a lot of pressure, but Jesus is the one you can go to with all of your needs and hurts and He's always there for you no matter what. He is the answer.

Q: How to make pdnsd just use one probed server not to flood with server uptests? Why pdnsd responds slowly/fails many requests to it even if it has found working upstream server?
I want pdnsd to just use the DNS server {it has probed,that is proven} to work and search for other configured variants only if that chosen server fails.
/* Most time only about 1-2 of configured servers does work, each time different ones. */

A: Just configure it properly:
    caching=on;
    proxy_only=on;
    lean_query=on;
    purge_cache=off;

Imagine a world where every town has its own local food source, grown in the safest way possible, where no drop of water or particle of light is wasted, and where a simple elevator ride can transport you to nature's grocery store – imagine the world of the vertical farm.
Vertical farms can be located on abandoned city properties, creating new urban revenue streams. They will employ lots of skilled and unskilled labor. They can be run on wind, solar, tidal, and geothermal energy. They can be used to grow plants for pharmaceutical purposes or for converting gray water back into drinking water.
In the tradition of the bestselling The World Without Us, The Vertical Farm is a totally original landmark work destined to become an instant classic. With stunning illustrations and clear and entertaining writing, this book will appeal to anyone concerned about America's future.
Dr. Dickson Despommier spent twenty years as a professor of public health in environmental health sciences at Columbia, where he has won the Best Teacher award six times. His work on vertical farms has been featured on such top national media as CNN, "The Colbert Report," and "The Tonight Show," as well as in full-length articles in The New York Times, TIME Magazine, Scientific American, and The Washington Post. He recently spoke at the TED Conference, PopTech and the World Science Festival and has been invited by the governments of India, Mexico, Jordan, Brazil, and Korea to work on environmental problems. He has spoken to audiences at many universities, including Harvard and MIT. Despommier lives in Fort Lee, New Jersey.

Q: WCF project setup and dependencies What's the most common/best way to setup a WCF service project and applications?
Here's an example:

*

*Solution: "MyProject"

*Class Library: "MyProject.Common"

*

*Contains ServiceContract interface, and any DataContracts

*Class Library: "MyProject.Impl"

*

*Contains implementation of service contract, and a client class that can be used to call the service

*WCF Service Web Application: "MyProject.Service"

*

*Contains references to MyProject.Common and Impl, so that it can host the service

*WCF service app would configure the endpoints in the web.config

*ASP.NET Web Application: "MyProject.Web"

*

*Contains references to "MyProject.Common" and "MyProject.Impl" so that it can use the client class

*Web app would also need to configure the endpoints in the web.config, etc.

My question is whether it makes sense to split the contract and implementation into separate DLLs, and whether the application(s) should reference the Common/Impl libraries, or if the application(s) should just make a service reference (using "Create Service Reference" or SvcUtil).  I'm thinking it might make sense for the apps to just make a service refernce, so you don't couple the Common/Impl to the app.  In this case, does it even make sense to create a client class in MyService.Impl?

A: Check out the Web Service Software Factory.  It's got lots of great guidance for building WCF applications including some guidance on the solution structure.  Also, IDesign.NET (Juval Lowy) has some guidance on that as well (zip link).

A: You should include the service interface and common classes in the client application if you are using complex types otherwise the generated proxy will duplicate the definition of the types that you used in your service, and it could cause you headaches with serialization later...
Then you can manually generate a proxy that uses the types from the common assembly and does not re create other classes simulating your types.
C:\Samples\WcfSerialization>svcutil.exe /out:WcfServiceProxy.cs /d:Schmu
rgon.WcfClient.Web /r:Schmurgon.Data.Contracts\Schmurgon.Data.Contracts\bin\debu
g\Schmurgon.Data.Contracts.dll http://localhost:5150/Schmurgon.WcfService.Host/S
ervice.svc?wsdl
The switches are:
/out: param is simply the name of the output proxy class.
/d: the directory in which to store the proxy class.
/r: the assembly containing the types that would otherwise be included in the proxy class
[none] the address of your WCF service.
(This is pasted from http://schmurgon.net/blogs/ben/archive/2006/12/17/wcf-proxy-generation-without-types.aspx)

A: It depends.
Normally the generated proxy class is enough for client programs to call the WCF service, so a client library isn't necessary. Of course there are situations where it is, for example if your contract only specifies Message as its parameters, and you use data contracts under the hood, but those are pretty rare!
What I wouldn't do is put the client class, if you feel you need one, in the same library as your service implementation - clients don't need to know about how the service is implemented, just how to call the service. By putting both together you're distributing your service implementation too.
The complex types issue alluded to by Hugo won't happen if you mark the classes you use with Data Contracts, which you should be doing anyway to allow for easy versioning of services.

A: My question is whether it makes sense to split the contract and implementation into separate DLLs, and whether the application(s) should reference the Common/Impl libraries, or if the application(s) should just make a service reference (using "Create Service Reference" or SvcUtil). I'm thinking it might make sense for the apps to just make a service refernce, so you don't couple the Common/Impl to the app. In this case, does it even make sense to create a client class in MyService.Impl?
Bingo - you "got" it! Even when theoretically, technically can share contracts and interfaces using shared assemblies, I would rather recommend not to.
First of all, other clients (e.g. Java, PHP, Ruby) won't be able to use shared .NET assemblies. So suddenly they use a different interface than your client which might cause subtle variations which could be hard to debug.
Secondly, SOA is all about decoupling parts of your system into separate, distinct entities with well defined service borders. Sharing assemblies introduces dependencies you're trying to avoid.
So therefore I would agree you're on the right track - whether or not to separate the contract interfaces from their concrete implementation can be debated. One benefit might be if you ever need to create a second, third implementation of the same interfaces, or if you have certain commonly used helper interfaces in a separate assembly used by various of your services. One more assembly doesn't really hurt - my recommendation would be to do exactly as you outlined in your post!

A great day today. Leg and shoulders today in the gym, breakfast and down to the boats by 12:00. Off the dock at 12:45 as we had no work to do before sailing! That is a first. The work list is getting smaller.
We tested downwind for about 45 minutes, then upwind for the same amount of time. Then we joined the others for racing. We were on fire in the first two wining both. Then we got a third and a fourth. I felt pretty good about how we sailed. Our boat handling is coming a long too. The wind is so shifty here that it is hard to tell about boat speed. But you have to have good intuition about what the wind is going to do next and then be very quick and agile to tack or gybe quickly before the rest of the fleet. This is what we did real well in the first two races.
Freddy and the others headed is around 1600. We decided to test downwind again fro about 30 minutes, change to another main and then sail back to the barn which took about 1 hour. We sail side by side and every ten minutes or so we swap sides…windward for leward..so that if one side is better than the other, we wash that out of the results. Just like those America's Cup sailors do it.
We got the boats out and put away by 1830 but then had a one hour drive back to the apartment. They decided to do road work on the lane leading out of town (as opposed to the inbound lane) on a Friday afternoon at 1800. Phil and Austin went to the store to get some more food, I started the Bar-B-Q, made the salad and am doing some email. I got this mobile internet card and it is great. I can get online anywhere there is GPRS at 57KBPS.
It is still blowing Meltemi here. About 8 days straight now. It was 8-15 today so it is getting weaker. Maybe a seabreeze tomorrow. Haven't seen one of those in 10 days. Lovell and Reynolds have never seen the seebreeze and they got here on the 15th and 16th.
It is the weekend tomorrow so no gym. We need to rest in order to build. We keep talking about taking a day off but we ask ourselves what would we do. We tried to get a T-time for tomorrow but they have a tournament. Maybe Sunday. There is also a go-cart track right near the Olympic venue so we are determined to get there one afternoon. For now, we are happy with the progress we are making and not too tired. For sure we will take off next Friday-Saturday and Sunday. Mark and Andy go home next week and Phil and I have to be "processed" by the IOC.
It has been great having Andy and Austin here sailing the other boat every day, and Mark coaching and taking the pictures. It makes it so much easier to know that you have a boat ready to sail with you, to do what they need to do so you can test what you want to test. This would be a lot harder to coordinate with one of our competitors.

Zach's Bachelor Week 2 Eliminations Had Some Big Surprises
TBH, didn't see some of these coming so soon.
Originally Published: Jan. 24, 2023
ABC/Craig Sjodin
After a little hiatus at the end of 2022, Bachelor Nation has returned to the airwaves in a big way with Zach Shallcross' season of The Bachelor. And as the Season 27 Bachelor, Zach is not messing around. He's made it clear that his goal is to end the season with an engagement, and his biggest fear going into the season was that some of the contestants might not be as serious about the process as he is.
"I'm most nervous about the fact that there could be people that are on this journey and a part of this experience that don't take it seriously and don't want to actually find love," he told Bachelor Nation. "I want to find someone who truly wants a future with me, so that's what scares me the most."
Zach found himself in that scary situation when he was one of Rachel Recchia's top three guys during her season of The Bachelorette. Zach said he felt "blindsided" by their conversation during their Fantasy Suite date and said he felt Rachel hadn't been honest with him throughout their relationship. He self-eliminated and was heartbroken, but the silver lining is that it led to his tenure as the Bachelor for Season 27. Hopefully, Zach succeeds in finding love now that he's stepped into the lead role.
Here's your breakdown of all the goodbyes from The Bachelor Season 27.
The Bachelor Episode 2 Eliminations (Jan. 30)
The 20 women of Week 2 were in good spirits at the start of the episode, especially after Jesse Palmer announced that everyone would get to go on a date. Usually, one or two contestants get left out in the second week because there simply isn't enough room for everyone on the group dates, but Zach wanted to make sure he got to spend a little time with everyone.
And spend time with them, he did! The first date of the week was a group date hosted by Latto, where the women had to show off their "bad b*tch" energy. Some Bachelor Nation alums — Victoria Fuller, Courtney Robertson, and Tahzjuan Hawkins — joined the date to offer some guidance. The alums promised they were only there to help the current contestants out, but Tahzjuan didn't exactly stick to that promise. She decided to shoot her shot with Zach, ruffling quite a few feathers among the other women. Zach sent her home, though, saying it didn't seem like the right time. With that, Tahz became the first arrival and elimination of Episode 2.
After Katherine received the group date rose, it was time for Zach's 1-on-1 date with Christina. They went all out for their date, starting out with a helicopter ride and ending up at Zach's childhood home. Christina met and hit it off with Zach's family before it was time for the dinner portion of their date where she shared with Zach that she has a daughter. He was a little taken aback by the news, but he still gave Christina a rose.
Finally, it was time for the second group date of the week, which was a simple backyard hangout. Jess and Zach shared some quality bonding time when he opened up to her about being diagnosed with pyloric stenosis as a baby. Jess got the group date rose, just in time for the Rose Ceremony cocktail party.
Brianna was feeling insecure about the fact that she received America's First Impression Rose but still hadn't gotten a rose from Zach. She also was upset about a joke Christina made during Night One about hating her because of her rose. Even after Christina apologized, Brianna talked to Zach about the whole situation. He was honest and said that he felt like Brianna was holding back from him, so she was nervous going into the Rose Ceremony.
Luckily for Brianna, she did receive a rose from Zach. Here's the full list of the 17 women who got roses in Week 2:
Genevie
Kaity
Davia
That meant it was time to say goodbye to Cat Wong, Kimberly Gutierrez, and Victoria Jameson. Fans were especially sad to see Cat leave since she had quickly won everyone over with her sense of humor. At least the memes of her fabulous facial expressions will last forever.
Zach's season started off strong with a festive first night at the Bachelor Mansion. "I started the night with a lot of nerves, but those nerves are slowly going away," Zach said as he greeted the 30 women competing for his heart.
The first limo entrance was Jess, who Zach called a "great start" to the night. A few of the women went to extremes to make their entrances memorable, like Lekha, who licked Zach's ear, and Mercedes, who brought a pig. But Zach seemed to really relax when he saw the five familiar faces who he had already met during the Bachelorette Season 19 "After the Final Rose" episode. Bailey, whose name Zach forgot when they met during that episode, even got the first kiss of Night One during her limo entrance.
Brianna received "America's First Impression Rose" during that "After the Final Rose" episode, and she even wore a dress made of roses as a small nod to it. With that rose, Brianna was safe going into Night One, but there were still 19 other roses Zach needed to hand out.
Madison was super eager to get some alone time with Zach, and she even pulled a classic "Can I steal you for a second?" to get a second chunk of one-on-one time with him. But, extra time can only do so much if there is no spark there. Madison gave Zach a peck, but afterward, he said, "I don't know if I was feeling that kiss." It was pretty clear things weren't moving forward with Madison.
Zach did feel sparks with Greer, who received his First Impression Rose. They said that their connection "felt so real" and Zach said he was excited to see where their relationship goes.
Then, it was almost time for the Rose Ceremony, but first Madison needed to talk to Zach. She asked him privately if he saw a future with her, and he was totally honest. "I really do thank you for being here and I really appreciate getting to know you, but my heart wasn't feeling it," Zach told her. Madison tearfully left right then and there and didn't even make it to the rose ceremony.
In addition to the roses Brianna and Greer received, Zach gave out 18 more roses during the rose ceremony. They went to:
Victoria J.
That means Zach said goodbye to Becca Serrano, Cara Ammon, Holland Parsons, Lekha Ravi, Madison Johnson, Olivia Lewis, Olivia Miller, Sonia Sharma, Vanessa Dinh, and Viktoria Eichner.
Twenty women will continue into Week 2 as Zach gets going on his journey to find love.
Season 27 of The Bachelor airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

The tanpura has an important but seemingly thankless task: to produce a steady, continuous, and basically unchanging sound for hours on end, as the background for a vocal or instrumental performance, or for meditation. What could be interesting or special about a tanpura album? For one, I'm playing what I believe to be one of the best tanpuras in the world, made by the late Hemen Sen; further, I am exploring many of the beautiful but uncommon ways of tuning the instrument. The most common tuning has one string playing the fifth of the scale (Pa) and the other strings playing the tonic (Sa), but other possibilities abound, and to my knowledge they haven't been amply recorded. There is also a big difference between getting a tanpura acceptably in tune, which can take a few minutes, and getting it "radiantly" in tune, which can take hours of searching and adjusting, and on some days proves entirely impossible. I have been recording my tanpura in many different playing sessions to capture the very best of what it can produce. I've written a bit about the tuning process in the album notes and will be posting some blog entries on the topic as well. While the tanpura usually fades into the background, I am recording it up close here and am performing it with more variety and expressiveness than the typical detached playing style demands.
This project began with the goal of creating some tracks that I could use as accompaniment in my own singing practice; I then thought that these tracks might be useful to other singers, and later realized that some of them might be useful also as a tranquil background for yoga, meditation, and so on.
The track I've posted above in Pa Ni Sa Sa tuning captures a very rare moment where the instrument seemed to come alive and put me in a trance. Listen to up to 4.20 to hear the full session, which is repeated several times to create an extended clip.

A French court has for the first time ordered a Rwandan to face trial over the country's 1994 genocide, judicial sources told the AFP news agency on Monday.
Pascal Simbikangwa, a former Rwandan army captain arrested on the French island of Mayotte in 2008, is facing charges of complicity in genocide and complicity in crimes against humanity but can still appeal the decision in an attempt to avoid the trial.
It was not immediately clear if his lawyers would file an appeal.
Simbikangwa, a former intelligence officer under Rwanda's Hutu government, was arrested under an international arrest warrant for his alleged involvement in the genocide, which killed some 800,000 people, mostly ethnic Tutsis, over three months.
France in early 2010 set up a new unit to try cases of genocide and crimes against humanity involving suspects detained in France.
Two investigating magistrates from the unit ordered the trial on Friday following a request from prosecutors in early March.
A former member of Rwanda's presidential guard, Simbikangwa is accused of having armed the Interahamwe Hutu militia and encouraged them to massacre minority Tutsis. He is a paraplegic following a traffic accident in 1986.
Simbikangwa is facing trial in France following a complaint filed by the Collective of Civil Plaintiffs for Rwanda, known by its French acronym CPCR.

Receiving their prestigious award on Saturday, December 10 in Oslo, the Ukrainian, Russian and Belarusian winners of the Nobel Peace Prize called not to lay down their arms in the war. "crazy and criminal" Launched by Vladimir Putin in Ukraine.
Coming from three main countries of the conflict, the Belarusian activist Ales Beliatski, who is imprisoned in his country, the Russian NGO Memorial, which was dissolved by order of justice, and the Ukrainian Center for Civil Liberties (CCL) have been crowned for their commitment to the cause. "Human rights, democracy and peaceful coexistence" against authoritarian powers. The Nobels didn't waver in their anger — though they showed no signs of gushing with each other at the award ceremony.
"The people of Ukraine want peace more than anyone else in the world"said the head of the Center for Civil Liberties, Oleksandra Matveychuk. But peace in a country under attack cannot be achieved by laying down arms. It will not be peace but an occupation."did she say. Nobel Peace Prize: "Fighting for an NGO like Viasna in Belarus is now a crime"
Founded in 2007, the CCL it runs today documents war crimes committed by Russian forces in Ukraine: the destruction of residential buildings, churches, schools and hospitals, the bombing of evacuation corridors, forced displacement of residents, torture, crimes…
As a result of the bombings on Ukraine's energy infrastructure, Oleksandra Matveychuk herself wrote her acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize by candlelight, she told AFP in an interview shortly before the ceremony. Nine months after the Russian invasion, CCL counted "Over 27,000 episodes" A war crime, according to her, that is "Just the tip of the iceberg".
"War turns people into numbers. We must give a name to all victims of war crimes."she indicated.
Putin's imperial ambitions
Her voice choking with emotion in her speech at Oslo City Hall bedecked with red Siberian roses, Oleksandra Matveychuk once again called for an international tribunal to rule Cheese friesAnd the [son allié, le dirigeant biélorusse Alexandre] Lukashenko and other war criminals.
His Russian partner, Memorial President Ian Raczynski, for his part, denounced the "imperial ambitions" Inherited from the Soviet Union who Still blooming today. Russia under Vladimir Putin has hijacked the historical meaning of the struggle against fascism "for his own political interests", He said. from now on, "Resistance to Russia is equivalent to fascism"lamented.
The denaturation that saves The ideological justification for the insane and criminal war of aggression against Ukraine.He claimed, despite Moscow's ban on publicly criticizing the invasion.
Who is Alice Pilatsky, Belarusian activist and co-winner of the Nobel Peace Prize?
Founded in 1989, Memorial has worked for decades to shed light on crimes committed under Stalin's totalitarian regime and preserve the memory of its victims, and then collect information about the violation of freedoms and rights in Russia. In the context of silencing the mouths of the opposition and the media, the non-governmental organization was dissolved at the end of 2021 by the Russian judiciary, which also ordered the seizure of its offices in Moscow on October 7, the same evening as the Nobel Prize was awarded. to the organization.
Today there are more political prisoners in Russia than there were in the entire Soviet Union at the beginning of the perestroika period in the 1980s.noted Ian Raczynski.
"Internationale Dictatorships"
The third Nobel laureate, Alice Pilatsky, father of the human rights NGO Viasna, has been imprisoned since July 2021. He is awaiting trial where he faces 12 years in prison on charges of "smuggled" Criticism in favor of opposition to Alexander's oppressive regime Lukashenko, the 60-year-old activist, was not allowed to deliver his Nobel Prize acceptance speech.
The actor at the ceremony, his wife, Natalya Benchuk, had to be content with repeating some of his words, especially those in which he calls to stand against her. "Internationale Dictatorships".
Lukashenko is Putin's partner.
In Ukraine, Russia aims to establish "A dependent dictatorship, like Belarus today, where the voice of the oppressed people is ignored, with Russian military bases, huge economic dependence, and cultural and linguistic Russification"He said in his wife's voice.
Good and truth must be able to protect themselves.As he said.
In Stockholm, where other Nobel prizes have been awarded (medicine, physics, chemistry, literature and economics), no fewer than 26 laureates will take part in this year's festivities, including French, writer Annie Ernault. Blame it on Covid-19 that prevented the 2020 and 2021 winners from traveling to the Swedish capital to receive their bonus and their imminent 10 million kroner (about 900,000 euros) check.

The Composers Quarter Hamburg () is a gathering of six museums in the Peterstraße in  Hamburg-Neustadt, Germany. The associated museums have one or two classical composers as a theme who were born or have lived in the city of Hamburg.

The museums are located in restored historical buildings. With the use of multimedia the lives and works of the composers are being cleared. Insight is being given why the composers may still matter in the current era.

The quarter is represented by the association with the same name that was founded in 2015. The following list shows the member museums, the composers that are themed and the year of establishment:
 Brahms Museum, Johannes Brahms, 1971
 Telemann Museum, Georg Philipp Telemann, 2011
 Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach Museum, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, 2015
 Johann Adolph Hasse Museum, Johann Adolph Hasse, 2015
 Gustav Mahler Museum, Gustav Mahler, 2018
 Fanny & Felix Mendelssohn Museum, Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn, 2018

Repair Office and PowerPoint 2013 for Windows
Learn how to repair Office and PowerPoint 2013 for Windows.
Microsoft Office 2013 for Windows was released on October 11, 2012. It is the successor of the previous version, Office 2010, and among the most used programs across the globe. However, after using the Office 2013 programs such as PowerPoint, Word, and Excel repeatedly, there may be times when these applications face some serious issues such as crashes, corrupted files, etc. And in some scenarios, you may not be able to run any Office 2013 application. At this point in time, you may wish to perform some magical process that will resolve the issue.
Fortunately there is an easy way to resolve these issues and it's called a Repair installation. In this tutorial we explain how this task can be performed.
Tip: Additionally you can also rename or delete your PCB file in PowerPoint 2013 for Windows to counter problems with error messages related to add-ins or customizations when PowerPoint is loading.
Running a Repair Installation
Note: Close all Office programs before performing the Repair installation process.
Launch the Run dialog box in Windows, and type in "control appwiz.cpl" without the quotes, as shown in Figure 1, below. Then click the OK button.
Figure 1: Run dialog box
This will launch the Programs and Features window, as shown in Figure 2, below. Your interface may look a little different based upon which version of Windows you are using, but the general process still remains the same.
Figure 2: Programs and Features window
Within the list of programs, locate your Office 2013 version. This may differ on various systems. For instance, our version of Office 2013 is called Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013. To make sure you are choosing Office 2013, ensure that the Product version number begins with 15, as shown highlighted in red within Figure 2, above. Then choose your version of Office 2013, and then click the Change button as shown highlighted in blue within Figure 2, above.
Now, the Change your installation window appears, as shown in Figure 3, below. You will see four radio buttons:
Add or Remove Features lets you change installed options. You can remove a program or feature you do not use, or add something you did not choose to install earlier.
Repair does an installation repair, and that's what we selected.
Remove uninstalls Office 2013 entirely.
Enter a Product key lets you change your existing product key. This option is helpful if you want to move from one product key to other, without having to reinstall the entire Office 2013 suite all over again.
Figure 3: Change your Office 2013 installation
We chose the Repair option, and were presented with the Configuration Progress window, as shown in Figure 4, below. This might take a while.
Figure 4: Configuration Progress
You will finally see the window, shown in Figure 5. Click the Close button to complete the Repair process.
Figure 5: Repair complete
You may be asked for a system reboot to complete the setup, as shown in Figure 6, below. Click Yes to reboot now, or No to reboot on your own later. Once the reboot is done, you can run your Office 2013 programs.
Figure 6: Do you want to reboot now?

This is a personal remedy that has made a huge difference in my life. I am one of those poor souls who has suffered from (as the old commercial says) "the heartbreak of psoriasis."
Over the years, I had used many over-the-counter medicines, including the coal tar shampoos, and also some of the anti-fungal prescription medicines. They all worked fairly well, at least in the beginning, but, over time, the effectiveness began to diminish. Also, I am not sure about the safety of some of these products.
Finally, one day, I was teaching a science lesson that included baking soda and its effect on ph levels. It dawned on me that baking soda could very likely change the ph levels of the surface of my scalp and make the environment inhospitable.
Of course, I found out later that this is a widely known remedy, including among the Deitsch. Why I did not know that before is beyond me.
So, instead of buying expensive coal tar shampoos, I took some distilled water, some castile soap, an ample (perhaps an overabundance, actually). I mixed them together in no organized proportion in a 16 oz. bottle. In my first experiment, I used arrowroot powder as a thickener. I added some vegetable glycerin as a moisturizer, and then I added in a few drops of essential oils.
In my first experiment, I added four drops of rosemary essential oil (for its anti-fungal properties) and then four each of lemongrass essential oil and lime essential oil for fragrance. In later batches, I switched to rosemary, patchouli, and vetiver for a more woodsy scent.
I have made around ten batches of this over the last two years, and, admittedly, I have no firm recipe for this concoction. I have to shake it before using it, but that is a minor annoyance compared to how much this shampoo has alleviated my psoriasis. I still have to perfect the recipe, and, when I accomplish that, I will update this blog post.
Also, one of my colleagues is also trying baking soda on a patch of psoriasis on his leg, and he has reported some improvement after only three days.
If anyone has any recipes that can be shared for natural shampoos or soaps that use baking soda, please let me know!
Psoriasis = die Schibbflechte or die Schuppflechte. "Die Flecht" is akin to the concept of a lichen, therefore carrying a connotation of a fungal issue.
I've used dragons blood essential oil neat with some success for a patch on my leg.
I am hoping to try your method in conjunction.

Openness, Mobility, Security Top City, County Government Priorities
Openness, Mobility, Security Top City,…
People tend to think of the federal government as being a huge entity that overshadows local governments. But local governments in fact dwarf the size of federal governments. For example, state and local governments combine to produce $3 trillion in spending, which is more than twice that of the federal government market (not counting defense spending). And local governments employ 19 million workers, which is more than seven times that of the federal government market.
Altogether, city and county governments are larger employers than the retail, manufacturing, construction, or financial industries, according to Dugan Petty, a fellow with the Center for Digital Government. In fact, if states were viewed as individual businesses, 19 (starting with California at #3) would be members of the Fortune 100.
Consequently, it's interesting to delve into responses to the annual Digital Cities and County Survey from the Center for Digital Government. The results affect us as citizens, but from a business perspective, vendors are likely to tweak offerings to gain the interest of this large market.
Asked to rank the top priorities, cities said Open Government, followed by Mobility and Mobility Applications. Those topics topped the list last year, too, Petty noted. Cybersecurity is up to #3 from #6 the previous year. Portal/E-gov is up one spot, to #4 from #5. IT Staffing remains the same, also at #4. Disaster Recovery/Business Continuity made the largest jump, to #6 from #9. Cloud Computing also went up, to #7 from #8. Social Media, which wasn't even on the list last year, broke in at #8. What were the losers? Broadband and Connectivity went down from #6 to #5. Budget and Cost Control dropped from #3 to #9—"a sure sign that the Great Recession is coming to an end in terms of City IT," Petty said. Shared Services, which has come under criticism for not saving money in regions that have tried it, dropped from #7 to #10.
Not surprisingly, different departments in city and county government had different priorities. In fact, similar departments in different governments were much more alike than the two types of governments. For example, within finance departments in both city and county governments, the top three priorities were procurement reform, modernizing purchasing, and Enterprise Resource Planning/ legacy systems. And though modernizing the purchasing system scored well with both finance/administration departments and city/county governments as a whole, it was a significantly less important priority in other departments such as public safety, health and social services, transportation, and citizen engagement.
Public safety and transportation departments in both cities and counties had mapping and other geospatial applications as the most important, but counties in both departments consider mobile apps to be a higher priority than did cities. Mapping and geospatial applications were also a high priority in citizen engagement, presumably because they wanted to ensure that the city was serving all its residents relatively equally. Finance and administration, however, considered it a much lower priority than did other departments.
Citizen engagement departments were also the ones that were most interested in mobile apps. In general, though, counties were more interested than cities in mobile apps; about 65 percent of county respondents said that mobile apps were of growing importance in the next 18 to 24 months, while only a little more than 50 percent of city respondents thought so. In comparison, respondents in cities were more likely to consider cloud vendor management of growing importance than did county respondents (about 57 percent compared with less than 50 percent).
In health and social services, both cities and counties had privacy at the highest priority, though counties in general considered privacy more important than cities did. (Which makes sense, when you think about it; people who live in large groups of other people might be less concerned about privacy.)
"All government is local government," former Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill reminds us. With state IT spending growing faster than federal IT spending, this survey reminds us that this is still true. And when considering the needs of potential clients, the priorities of seemingly smaller businesses may trump those of the larger ones.

Do you have a 2005-2006 Honda CR-V ? Is the visor falling down and obstructing your vision?
The original sun visors installed in these cars had a major problem. The visor will not stay up and it constantly falls while driving or running over a bump. Its not just your car, every CR-V manufactured in these years has the same problem. The Visor Splits at the support, and begins to lose grip and begins to fall down. When this occurs it can cause a big problem, it can hinder your vision of the road and actually be dangerous in certain circumstances. You'll know that your vehicle is starting to experience this when you see your visor start hanging lower and lower from the ceiling.
Fortunately Honda has come up with a newer design. The replacement is not too expensive, and it will resolve your safety issue, not to mention save your sanity from having to keep pushing the visor backup every few minutes while driving.
We are selling a completely revised Genuine Honda Visor that will not fall down, and will not split. The new visor is completely redesigned internally by Honda engineers to never fail again.
installs easily with a flat blade and a Phillips screwdriver (you will re-use your old screws).
Comes sealed in Genuine Honda Packaging.
Interior cap cover that covers the screw holes is not included but can be re-used from your old visor also.
Honda still sells both designs of this visor. They sell the old defective design, and the new improved design. Many companies and dealers are still selling the old design because it is cheaper and they can make more profit. If you get the old design you will just have the same problem again. We only sell the new design visors.

The prevalence of Caesarian sections has increased in industrialised countries significantly over recent decades, from 15% in 1990 to 27% in 2011. For the scientific and medical communities this worrisome, as C-section deliveries have been associated with numerous health issues for children, including respiratory distress after birth, greater risk of infection, as well as long term problems such as the development of asthma in later life.
Many clinical trials in recent years have drawn strong correlations between a child's mode of delivery and the development of their microbiota and immune system. Now a new study from the Netherlands has added to those findings. The group of Dutch researchers say that, depending on the mode of a child's birth, they are either exposed to the mother's natural microbiota via the vaginal canal, or their are exposed to skin and environmental bacteria through Caesarian section. This early exposure is thought to have a large impact on how our microbiota developments and how our immune systems mature though the time frame for these developments are largely unknown.
In this recent study, Dutch researchers were keen to investigate how C-section births specifically impacted on the bacteria in the upper respiratory tract. This is a natural niche area of the body for opportunistic pathogens and is often the origin of recurrent infections. In previous studies, large sampling of children revealed a highly dynamic composition of bacteria in the upper respiratory tract. The team were keen to find out how early exposure to bacteria after birth impacted on this area of the body specifically, and how vaginal or C-section deliveries created different bacterial communities.
The research team observed a group of 102 healthy children from birth until 6 months of age. The team found that the development of the respiratory bacteria starts developing straight after birth. Interestingly, within the first day of life all the children had a Streptococcus viridans-predominated profile, regardless of their delivery. However, during the first week of life rapid differentiation developed between the groups. Initially within most infants, Staphylococcus aureus predominated followed by other communities. Those children born via C-section showed a delayed overall development of microbial communities and specifically reduced health-associated microbes which were present in children born naturally. The research team thinks that this has an influence on respiratory health later in life.
So it seems that the mode of delivery not only has associations with the composition and diversity of the gut microbiota, but studies such as this show it may also impact on microbial communities elsewhere in the body.
Problems falling pregnant? Could bacteria be to blame?

When consultancy firm Everest Group last year asked offshore service providers around the world where they planned to expand their global footprint, South Africa ranked firmly in the top three answers with only China and Brazil offering serious competition. We decided to examine what is so appealing about South Africa – and more importantly – what strategies investment agencies are executing to win a surprising amount of global attention.
The South African offshore BPO industry grew over 85% between 2007 and 2010 and in 2009-10 it contributed nearly $250 million to South African exports, according to the public/private trade promotion group South Africa BPO. The sector currently supports 10,000 jobs, with over 10,000 more committed by leading companies. There has been a steady stream of major multi-nationals such as Microsoft and Amazon outsourcing operations to South Africa and five of the top 10 BPO voice providers now have operations in the country.
Outsourcing in South Africa is currently dominated by call centers, a sector in which it has a clear linguistic advantage over many of its rivals. According to Pritchard, South Africa produces 345,000 English speaking graduates a year, making it the third highest English servicing BPO supplier and South African English is widely considered a neutral accent.
The sector has also benefited from a dramatic drop in telecommunications costs, which had previously been an obstacle to investment. Telecom costs plummeted 85% between 2003 and 2009, according to Pritchard, and will continue to fall by 15-25% a year over the coming years.
With the latest incentive scheme launched in January 2011, Pritchard has predicted a further 20% drop in cost arbitrage, which had stood at 50-60% from source destinations. Current incentives include large grants for each offshore job created with bonuses if the company reaches 400 and 800 seats. "That is the one that is making people raise their eyebrows and say 'well, why wouldn't we be there?'" said Pritchard.
However, such rapid growth can bring its own problems, especially in ensuring human capital development keeps pace with expansion. In a bid to avoid exhausting its human resources, the South African government has initiated a training program that has already trained several thousand people in entry-level skills as well as offering tax incentives to companies for training employees. Nevertheless, there have been serious shortages at the mid-management level – something Pritchard identifies as the single biggest limitation to continued growth.
Kobus Van Der Westhuizen is a senior vice president at leading global outsourcers Aegis and the head of its South African operation. After arriving in 2009, Aegis South Africa more than doubled in size in its first two years of operations and it currently employs approximately 2,000 people in 13 contact centers. In attempting to manage such quickfire growth, Van Der Westhuizen has found the labor shortages at management level have increasingly become an issue.
According to BPO analysts Fifth Quadrant, South Africa could also find external pressures limiting its growth. As it moves away from the pack of emerging locations, South Africa will increasingly have to compete with the established outsourcing powerhouses of India and the Philippines while still fending off competition from other developing markets in China and Latin America.
Why are So Many Investment Promotion Agencies Plagued With Ambivalence?

New England racing legend Ron Bouchard dies
By Dan BeaverDec 10, 2015, 5:38 PM EST
(Photo by ISC Images & Archives via Getty Images)
New England legend Ron Bouchard died Thursday after a lengthy battle with cancer. He was 67 years old.
Bouchard was not the first New England driver to come to NASCAR, but he was one of the most successful. Racing for New England based Race Hill Farms and Jack Beebe, he debuted in NASCAR in the 1981 Valleydale 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway and qualified third. Barely 10 races later, he won the 1981 Talladega 500 and went on to compete in a total of 160 NASCAR Cup races during his career. Bouchard won the 1981 Rookie of the Year honors.
"It was a tough battle," Ed Flemke Jr., Bouchard's brother-in-law told RaceDayCT.com. "But he fought the good fight, as he always did."
Like many drivers before and since, Bouchard also ran in NASCAR's support division and he scored two wins on one of NASCAR's toughest tracks in what has become the Xfinity series. In 1984 he won both races held at Darlington Raceway from the pole.
Bouchard helped pave the way for many other New England racers and he did so because he first built a solid fan base on the New England short tracks. "I think because he was such a large figure in the Modified family, when he did finally go Cup racing he had such a strong following that I think he had a bigger impact than the guys before him," Flemke said.

In 1849-1857 Henry David Thoreau took 4 trips to the area called Cape Cod. As George Howe Colt points out in his book "The Big House" Thoreau is the first person to pronounce living near the sea to be a therapeutic thing to do! Up until then only fishermen lived near the sea and it was not considered desirable.
This is very interesting to me on a personal note as our area in Falmouth was started exactly then-the first six cottages went up in the late 1870's. Oak Bluffs on Martha's Vineyard and many other communities sprung up at this time-many of them,such as ours, were originally camping grounds for church-related activities and renewal. In fact, when you buy a house in our area the lots are designated as "tent lots"!
This year makes a special occasion for Gettysburg College, the town and the nation. They are in the midst of the Sesquicentennial Commemoration of the American Civil War(2011-2015) and 2013 marks the 150th anniversaries of the Battle of Gettysburg and President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.Gettysburg College has a rich history that started almost three decades before our nation's greatest conflict.
Gettysburg College was founded on April 7,1832 by theologian Samuel Simon Schmucker. When the battle of Gettysburg began,the College stood in it's midst. Elements of the two great armies swept through campus on July 1,1863,the first day of the decisive battle of Gettysburg. Pennsylvania Hall(pictured) became a hospital for hundreds of soldiers from both North and South.
On November 19,1863 townspeople,students, and faculty marched to hear President Lincoln hallow the National Cemetery with his Gettysburg Address.David Wills,an 1851 graduate,invited Lincoln to deliver "a few appropriate remarks".You can visit the Wills house and view the bed that Lincoln spent the night in on that historic visit.
Last November,2012 Steven Spielberg who directed the movie "Lincoln" and Doris Kearns Goodwin who wrote the book "Team of Rivals" were in Gettysburg together and spoke to a crowd of over 9,000 people.
The custom started during the 12th century when early universities were still beginning to be formed in Europe. These universities were tasked to validate degrees as well as list the names of scholars who were officially enrolled, and they were to record the progress of students to the next degree.
At that time, no sufficient heating system was provided in such universities, and as such, students were forced to improvise to keep warm.
The scholars, who were usually aspiring clerics or already clerics, started the practice of wearing a long robe with a hood for heat. Later that century, gowns were made the official dress of academics to prevent excessive apparel.
On the other hand, the square academic cap also called a mortarboard-because of its resemblance in shape to the device utilized by masons to hold mortar-was reputed to have originated from a biretta worn by scholarly clergies, which was used to signify their superiority and intelligence. These hats became popular in the 14th and 15th centuries and were only worn by artists, humanists, students, and all those learned. They usually came in the color red signifying blood and life, hence, power more than life and death.
Regardless if you live in America or in another country, graduation caps and gowns, along with tassels, hoods, stoles and diploma covers are common apparel whenever men and women graduate from school.The colors,designs, and opulence used in the tassels,hoods,velvet and satin trimmings, and robes designate everything from the level of degree held by the wearer to his or her field of study to the institution from which the degree was earned. From a child graduating from preschool or kindergarten, all the way up to doctoral graduates, you'll find various colors, styles, and materials for your educational affiliation.
All you need are the large shredded wheat biscuits, crumbled (I would say 6-8 per pound, you just need to decide how brown you want them), and 2 pounds of chocolate (ie chocolate chips are great).
You melt the chocolate in a double-boiler over med high heat until all just melted, then pour carefully into bowl of shredded wheat (already broken up biscuits). Wait for chocolate to cool (less than a minute) and prepare to get your hands dirty (food-safe gloves recommended)!
Just mix together until it is very, very thick.
Using parchment paper to line the inside of whatever shape you want your nests to be in (cupcake tin, bowl–your choice!), take a large scoop and place on the parchment paper in that container.
You will then press the mixture up against the sides and down against the bottom until it is in desired shape–may need to add more to thicken walls of nest.
Let harden by leaving at room temp, or to speed up, put on cookie sheet and stick in the fridge for an hour or two.
When done, carefully peel of parchment paper, and you have your yummy chocolate nest!!!


The state of New Jersey is being sued by the Natural Resources Defense Council and Environment New Jersey for pulling out of a 10-state climate initiative. In the announcement of withdrawal from the initiative, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie declared that the compact, known as RGGI, was ineffectively reducing carbon emissions. But the two plaintiff organizations are claiming in the suit that Christie did not follow state law in his withdrawal from the program.
RGGI (Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative), a compact involving New England and Mid-Atlantic states, places a limit on carbon dioxide emissions, much like cap and trade. Reuters reports, "Under the plan, states agreed to cap and then reduce carbon dioxide pollution by 10 percent by 2018." States that auction carbon credits to power plants are provided technical support, Reuters adds.
RGGI requires utilities to pay an allowance for each ton of carbon dioxide produced, a cost that is ultimately passed along to consumers in the form of higher rates for electricity, not unlike the cap and trade scheme the Obama administration attempted to foist on the American people.
Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket…even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad, because I'm capping greenhouse gasses, coal power plants, natural gas…you name it…whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, they would have to retro-fit their operations.
RGGI is just a microcosm of how a federal cap and trade system would have worked.
Governor Christie announced last year that the Garden State would be withdrawing from RGGI. He called the program "a failure," citing its leading problem: that power suppliers have been able to reach their caps easily, and carbon allowances are trading at bottom-level prices because plants are taking advantage of cheap prices for natural gas, which is less polluting than fuels such as coal.
"RGGI does nothing more than tax electricity, tax our citizens, tax our businesses, with no discernible or measurable impact upon our environment," Christie declared.
But the withdrawal has not been an easy process for the Governor. New Jersey's Democrat legislature passed a bill last year that would have required the state to rejoin the RGGI; however, Christie vetoed it. Last month, the legislature passed a similar bill, but Christie is expected to veto that one as well.
Christie has admitted that he accepts the notion of man-made climate change, but believes that RGGI does not properly address the causes.
"Governor Christie has been very clear about this issue — he thinks RGGI is just another tax on New Jersey businesses and residents and that it has not been effective," said Larry Ragonese, spokesman for the New Jersey Department of Environment Protection. "We are taking steps as a state to deal with greenhouse gas emissions and we don't need to get involved with this bureaucratic program."
But the Natural Resources Defense Council and Environment New Jersey contend that Christie violated state law which requires that the Governor's administration notify the public of its intention to withdraw from the plan and provide a comment period before going forward with the decision. "Governor Christie unilaterally made his decision to leave RGGI — without taking any input from stakeholders or the public," said Matt Elliott of Environment New Jersey. "As we contend today, his actions are not only bad public policy, but also illegal."
A spokesman for Christie asserted, however, that the decision was well within the legal parameters. "There was nothing illegal about our withdrawal from RGGI," Michael Drewniak said in a statement. "Participation in the RGGI consortium was via a contractual arrangement with provisions for any state to pull out with notice and without penalty."
Reports that the 10-state compact was failing have pervaded the area over the last few years. Last September, New Jersey Watchdog reported that RGGI was on the "brink of failure" because the September 7 auction of the group managed to raise just $14 million — one tenth of the $117 million record it set two years previously. At that same auction, RGGI was unable to sell a single one of its 1.8-million future permits, revealing a total lack of confidence in the future of the compact.
In 2009, Governor Lynch signed an agreement to begin the process of raising the price of gas and heating fuel by implementing this absurd scheme known as low-carbon fuel standards. This bill puts the brakes on this assault on our wallets at a time when we should be working to reduce the cost of gas, not raising it.
The New Hampshire House raised similar arguments against RGGI as Christie.
In the end, however, New Hampshire's Senate Majority Leader Jeb Bradley offered an amendment that continued the program.
RGGI has also faced heavy opposition from local Americans for Prosperity organizations. "[New Hampshire] ratepayers have already seen their electricity rates increased from the failed cap-and-trade scheme known as RGGI," said Corey Lewandowski, state director of Americans for Prosperity-New Hampshire.
The lawsuit over New Jersey's withdrawal from RGGI will be heard in the appellate division of the state Superior Court. Governor Christie remains confident that his case will be upheld, and assures voters that New Jersey will not be rejoining RGGI.

In an announcement on Tuesday, the Bank of Thailand outlined a preliminary roadmap for 'Project Inthanon', its central bank digital currency (CBDC) initiative.
The Bank of Thailand (BoT), the country's central bank, is partnering 8 participating banks in a collaborative project that will use R3's distributed ledger technology (DLT) platform Corda to build a proof-of-concept prototype that will enable domestic funds transfers within the country's interbanking system with the issue of CBDC tokens. The collective endeavor to that end is being dubbed as 'Project Inthanon'.
The decentralized money transfer initiative, powered by blockchain technology, is a means to 'raise the Thai fina ncial sector's technological readiness' for adopting new disruptive technologies in a concentrated effort to 'enhance operational efficiencies', the central bank said in its announcement.
Project Inthanon was first announced by BoT governor Veerathai Santiprabhob during a financial summit in Singapore earlier in June this year, heralding the project as a "new way of conducting interbank settlement" using CBDCs.
Project Inthanon will be led by the BOT and will see New York-based R3 as its technology partner with 8 â€" mostly domestic â€" participating banks. The CBDC project draws parallels to similar efforts undertaken by BOT's counterparts in Canada, Hong Kong and Singapore, the Thai central bank added.
'The outcome and insights from Project Inthanon will contribute to the design of Thailand's future financial market infrastructure,' the BoT said, underlining the significance of the project.
Over a year ago, Singapore's central bank completed Phase 1 of 'Project Ubin', its own blockchain effort that began with the intent to place "a tokenized form of the Singapore Dollar (SGD) on a distributed ledger platform.' In June 2017, the Singaporean central bank revealed it had used a private Ethereum blockchain to successfully issue digital tokens of its national currency.
Phase 1 of Project Inthanon will see the BOT and the eight participating banks collaborate to design, develop and test a "proof-of-concept prototype for domestic wholesale funds transfer by using wholesale CBDC", the central bank said. Core payment functionalities including risk management and means toward liquidity savings will also be tested during the phase, expected to be completed by March 2019.

One thing I've learned about self-publishing, everything takes longer than you wish it would! Between signing, organizing who gets what, packing them up with mailing labels, and taking up two lines at the post office (and feeling guilty about it!), we finally have sent out everybody's copies of the books!
For those who have digital downloads, if you own a Kindle you can plug the Kindle into your computer and drag-and-drop the .MOBI file onto the Documents folder. Easy-breezy!!!
For everyone else, I truly hope I was organized enough to send you want you wanted. If something isn't right, just let me know and we'll get it sorted.
For those who are close to Bozeman, Montana, we're having a launch party tomorrow (Saturday). If you'd like to join, email me. At this point, we just love meeting our fans, and Michelle is making a Greek feast (notice the island theme to go with the underwater adventure?).
Thanks for all the support. We sure do love writing these books, and you keep us inspired to keep at it. Also, when you finish reading, it goes a LONG way if you write a review on Amazon for us. For any of the three books.
Keep finding the adventure.
