My husband and I started watching this show back during the first season. I remember the first night we found it on TV…we were laughing so hard we were crying. We adored the first 2 seasons, but seasons 3 and 4 lost some of the charm for me. The challenges were getting a bit monotonous, they were clearly being recognized by more people, and it just wasn't as funny.
I wish I could find something bad to say about Impractical Jokers but I seriously can't. I think the group of guys are great and they have such great chemistry with each other. They were friends before the show and I think that's a HUGEEEE plus because it's not like they cast four people for a prank show. They were probably playing the same pranks on each other before the show started.
All the pranks seem to be so smartly planned. You just can't help but literally roll on the floor and start laughing. My sister looks at me like I'm crazy every time I'm over and I'm watching the show. I'm gone through the first four seasons and this continues to be as funny – if not funnier. I was worried that as the seasons went on, it would start to get stale and boring, but they keep coming up with new pranks, new punishments to keep it fresh. And they keep stuff from older seasons that have worked. It's like they had the magic formula to never make a bad episode
If you're a fan of big laughs, this won't disappoint!
Impractical Jokers has to be the funniest show on television right now! These guys are simply amazing and we don't stop laughing throughout an entire episode. Each episode is filled with amazing pranks that will leave you in happy tears! I would recommend this show for anyone who likes hidden camera show or show about pranks. The best part of it is these four guys are just real childhood friends. The chemistry really comes alive on the screen. Some shows get worse as years go on, but this show gets better with each season. I always wonder how these guys are able to come up with such fun and creative pranks. I cannot recommend this show enough!
I also want to add that these guys are now traveling all over the country doing standup and the show was one of the best things I¡¯ve seen live. We were laughing an entire show! Definitely go see!

To get stunning images, you need to understand the basic characteristics of light and how you can use light to your advantage. For some readers, this chapter is a refresher, and for others, it provides a basic foundation for exploring the use and characteristics of light.
Light has fascinated photographers since the inception of photography, and this fascination is no less compelling today than it was then. In general, think of light as a painter thinks about a color palette. You can use the qualities of light to set the mood; to control the viewer's emotional response to the subject; to reveal or subdue the subject's shape, form, texture, and detail; and to render scene colors as vibrant or subdued.
Few people think of light as having color until the color becomes obvious, such as at sunrise and sunset when the sun's low angle causes light to pass through more of the earth's atmosphere, creating visible and often dramatic color. However, regardless of the time of day, natural light has color, and each color of sunlight renders subjects differently. Likewise, household bulbs, candlelight, flashlights, and electronic flashes also have distinctive colors.

LNG, Energy, and the Jones Act
Posted to Global Maritime Analysis with Joseph Keefe (byJoseph Keefe) on January 6, 2019
Three topics that don't belong in the same sentence. Together, however, they represent finely crafted plan to insert a hairline crack in U.S. cabotage laws. That effort has much bigger designs than just facilitating a few LNG deliveries to the island commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
Remember the time that you caught a stone on your windshield while driving at 65 MPH on a major highway? Remember the hairline crack that developed? Remember how that crack never got any bigger? Yeah, me, neither.
Last week's announcement that a New Jersey law firm representing the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico had assisted in preparing and filing an application for a limited Jones Act waiver isn't necessarily earthshaking news. Attacks on the Merchant Marine Act of 1920 – the Jones Act – have come regularly, and in increasing volumes in the past two years. On the other hand, the plea for the waiver predictably preys upon base emotions and little else in substance. In that way, it is perfectly aligned with virtually every other request that comes before it.
In a nutshell, the waiver request relies primarily on the premise that Puerto Rico has some of the most expensive energy costs in the nation, but also leverages the 2017 Hurricane Maria which blew through the island Commonwealth, and notes that repaired electrical infrastructure is being converted from diesel fuel to natural gas. And, it may be of interest to MLPro readers that the island is intent on realizing substantial costs savings in that way, as well as being the necessary first step in a larger plan for the island to rely more heavily upon renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. That's nice, but it has absolutely nothing to do with the Jones Act.
The law firm also correctly notes that, of the 478 LNG carriers that currently exist in the world, none are Jones Act eligible vessels, and none are owned by U.S. citizens or registered in the United States. Hence, any LNG exported from the U.S. mainland could not be shipped directly to the island on any foreign flag, registered tonnage. But, they aren't unreasonable people. If and when a Jones Act eligible LNG carrier becomes available, the limited waiver simply would expire. Sure. Let's go with that.
Our petitioners also lament, "Absent a waiver, PREPA and Puerto Rico could not purchase U.S.-produced natural gas and would be forced to enter into long-term purchasing contracts with foreign sources of supply." And, they characterize their waiver, if granted, "… a win-win situation for everyone involved."
It's a tired, old playbook one that says that the so-called "Porzio" application for a limited waiver of the Jones Act would be in the United States' economic security and national defense interests. They cite a temporary shortage of saline intravenous bags in the lower 48 in the aftermath of Maria as proof of this national security crisis. That's it. That's the argument. Nevertheless, there are a lot of moving parts to this latest assault on settled, U.S. law.
Puerto Rico Lacks the Infrastructure to Accept LNG (and probably always will)
Actually, a single generating facility on the south side of the island currently receives a supply of LNG from international sources. That should make island lawmakers and residents happy, since it arrives on a foreign hull, from relatively local sources. So, why is it so expensive?
Looking to what the island hopes to accomplish in way of upgrading (and finally cleaning up) their miserably dirty power generating infrastructure, that effort hasn't even started. So, it's a little premature to ask for something that isn't even yet required.
And, what if Puerto Rico does build a marine facility to accept LNG shipments? The business model for LNG involves a lot of things, including but not limited to 'cargo swaps' which might entail a U.S. LNG export cargo headed to one place, in exchange for another coming in from across the big pond. That's how these things work. Gas from international locations is ready and available. Actually, the closest LNG export facility to Puerto Rico is not in the continental United States but is in nearby Trinidad and Tobago.
In the Interest of National Defense
The CBP has repeatedly held in their rulings that a Jones Act waiver cannot be issued solely for economic reasons or economic benefit. The Defense Department has historically analyzed waivers by asking if there would be an "immediate adverse impact on defense operations" absent the waiver. Puerto Rico government officials repeatedly couch their pursuit of in LNG in purely economic terms, like everything else. And, yet, virtually every (credible) study or examination of the matter shows that the Jones Act has little to do with the price of anything on the island. The economic discussion is a non-starter for many reasons, but beyond that alone, it has nothing to do with why a waiver might be granted in the first place.
The American Maritime Partnership responds
In a letter addressed to DHS Secretary Nielsen, the AMP last week maintains correctly that the granting of this 10-year administrative waiver of the Jones Act for the coastwise movement of liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Puerto Rico is contrary to the letter and spirit of 46 U.S.C. § 501 ("§ 501") on virtually every level and is uniquely unsuitable for a waiver. The letter goes on to say, "In addition, this waiver request is flatly contrary to the 'Buy American, Hire American' policies of the Trump administration and would undermine U.S. national, homeland, and economic security. Finally, approval of a waiver like this would establish a precedent that would severely harm the American maritime industry in Puerto Rico and beyond, and would undermine ongoing efforts to develop a coastwise-qualified domestic LNG fleet." Spot on.
It's a long letter and a good one, but I see little point in rehashing the rest of it here. When it comes to the Jones Act, the reasons for its requirement – and for its very existence today – go far beyond the letter of the law. That said; it is instructive to recap a few points I've made many times in the past:
The Jones Act and Energy
The long and circuitous course line to legalizing U.S. crude oil and LNG exports has finally come to fruition, producing the results that sane, rational people knew that it would. Greatly benefiting the U.S. economy in so many different ways, some of that being realized in the form of maritime-related jobs and infrastructure spending. Just look at what is happening in the port of Corpus Christi, Texas. The decision to export crude oil and related energy products was a good one.
For the first time in memory, America became a net exporter of energy a couple of months ago. And, if you don't think that's important, just imagine what the trade deficit might now be had this not come about. Sadly, and at the same time it was evolving, domestic interests argued (indeed, demanded) that that U.S. built and flagged LNG carriers and tankers be part of the mix. Fortunately, that never happened.
Energy today ceases to be a geopolitical weapon because we've got plenty, we're free to export it (or not) at will, and we can do so at market prices. But, with naysayer's eyes on the low hanging fruit represented by as many as 5,000 mariner positions and the boon to U.S. shipbuilding, it is understandable that Jones Act stakeholders would embrace the concept. Even GAO says that as many as 100 LNG carriers might be needed to fully satisfy that mandate. Beyond this, the estimated cost of a typical Jones Act compliant, oceangoing LNG carrier would likely be three times as much as it would cost in other places – something that will have to be amortized over time, as a function of the cost of transportation. And, says GAO, it would take 30 years based on current domestic shipbuilding capabilities and infrastructure.
The bigger picture is even more daunting. That's because, based on GAO analysis, these vessels and their associated operating expenses would increase the cost of transporting LNG from the United States, decrease the competitiveness of U.S. LNG in the world market, and may, in turn, reduce demand for U.S. LNG or other forms of energy. And, at this point, you probably think I'm arguing from the position of Puerto Rico. I'm not.
The Jones Act has its place. That place has nothing to do with commerce coming to or from our shores; from and to other places. Puerto Rico today receives 75% (or more) of its goods and services from foreign sources, at market prices. They could get their toothpaste from Belgium or their lumber from South America. Island trade with the U.S. mainland is robust and it is robust because it makes good economic sense. If it didn't, they'd be getting their goods from somewhere else. You could argue that Puerto Rico actually has the best of both worlds. And yet, they want it both ways: to be a part of world's greatest economy, to sleep under the blanket of freedom, but only obey commerce laws when and if it suits them.
Never Let a Good Crisis Go to Waste
The most recent assault on the Jones Act – that is, until this ludicrous proposal arose in the past week – came in the choppy wake of Hurricane Maria. The line (then) from Jones Act opponents is that the Jones Act was solely responsible for the slow and painful recovery there. Taking a page from Winston Churchill, these folks 'never let a good crisis go to waste.'
Without discounting the horrible tragedy that the storm represents, it is also true that the Jones Act has absolutely nothing to do with whether the needed aid and supplies got inland to those who needed this help the most. Nevertheless, President Trump waived Jones Act shipping restrictions for Puerto Rico at the request of the island's governor, Ricardo Rosselló and after an outcry from Congress about the scarcity of fuel, food and emergency supplies following Hurricane Maria. The move briefly placated local residents and responders who felt that the U.S. flag operators were the cause of not only this crisis, but indeed, all of their problems. Ultimately, when recovery does come, it won't have anything to do with who delivered the goods in the first place.
Local Efforts, Global Implications
More than U.S. flag vessels, a local commitment – and an environmentally correct one at that – are also important. They also have nothing to do with national defense, but since anti-Jones Act activists can make peripheral arguments, so too can we. U.S. flag shipping has provided reliable and regular service to the island for many years. That's not going to change, and, in reality, it may be one of the things that help the island to recover.
Within the last three years, Crowley Puerto Rico Services executed a $48.5 million construction contract for a new pier at its Isla Grande Terminal in San Juan, Puerto Rico, further solidifying its commitment to the region. They now operate some of the cleanest tonnage on the planet, all it servicing Puerto Rico. They are not the only U.S. flag operators to do so. In conjunction with the investment, the company and the Puerto Rico Ports Authority (PRPA) also concluded a 30-year lease extension for the Isla Grande property. That kind of investment – and local commitment – is exactly what is likely to create jobs and prosperity, with associated tax revenues. What about simple, one-off port calls from a low cost flag of convenience carrier? Not so much.
A Hairline Crack
Even a very small crack in the law which will provide the necessary sealift capacity to defend our very shores in the next overseas conflict – and it is coming in this dangerous time that we live in – will endanger our ability to respond. Make no mistake about it. And, a 10-year waiver for the transport of energy to the island of Puerto Rico will eventually be the beginning of the end to the Jones Act. That's because; you are either pregnant, or you are not. There's no middle ground.
This request for a limited waiver to satisfy local LNG demand is nothing more than a head fake. Puerto Rico, should it ever even get to the point where it can import LNG in large volumes, will choose to get that LNG from foreign sources. That's just economics. What they really want is to insert a tiny crack in the Jones Act. It didn't work in the immediate aftermath of Maria, and if common sense prevails, it won't happen now. Next month, it'll be something else.
A tiny crack will eventually grow into something bigger. Eventually, your damaged windshield had to be replaced. Similarly, regional exclusions to Jones Act laws will evolve into the end of the U.S. flag fleet and what's left of our already inadequate sealift capacity.
All that said; there are options for the Commonwealth. They can, for example, go their own way with independence. Deep down inside, however, they know that won't go well. So, they want to have it both ways. We can't let that happen. – MLPro.

Ill say this respectfully as possible. Fu#ck the Jones act and the crony bull.
This comment is absurd my friend "virtually every (credible) study or examination of the matter shows that the Jones Act has little to do with the price of anything on the island"; and the part about doing business with the U.S. exclusively making sense as well. You are promoting the perpetuity of an noncompetitive oligopoly that without new entrants precisely because of the Jones Act, since foreign ships can only dock in one U.S. port, these will stop first in Jacksonville and then products are sent over to the island, which is extremely costly and has increased inflation by 6% yearly for over two decades. I understand that as a writer you would rather be a propagandist of the U.S. maritime sector than addressing the subject objectively.
Forget about the Jones Act, they will never be able to convert their power plants to natural gas because the whole island is against pipelines. Also, for a new LNG import terminal to be built, it would require FERC approval which would take years. There is no end to Puerto Rico's energy crisis.

Merry Christmas from the Pineapples!
Hello guys, just wanna wish all of you a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Lots of stuffs happening and school's starting for me once again. So enjoy every moment with your family and friends while you can. Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas once again!


Blizzard Entertainment has been partnering with a lot of big companies in order to bring the Overwatch League to life. The game gained tons of popularity back when it released in 2016 for home consoles and PC, and Blizzard decided to transform some of that built-in popularity into an eSports division for the game and call it the Overwatch League. The experiment got underway at the start of this year via livestreams, but now Blizzard has taken things to the next level by broadcasting the League's playoffs on broadcast television starting tonight.
According to a news post on ESPN, you'll be able to watch the League playoffs on the ESPN, ABC and Disney family of channels such as Disney XD and ESPN 2. This is part of a multi-year broadcast deal that Blizzard signed with Disney for the Overwatch League, which includes the broadcasts of the playoffs.
The article notes that the deal allows for hundreds of hours of live and highlight programming from Overwatch's eSports endeavors to be broadcast across the aforementioned channels. This is in addition to the broadcasts on display at Twitch.tv connected to the deal that Blizzard signed with Twitch.
The first season's grand finals will be broadcast from the Barclays Center in New York as the playoffs wrap up, and Blizzard has managed to strike a deal with the broadcasters to show the Overwatch League's second season finals, also set to take place at the Barclays Center.
According to the article, the full matches won't be on all four channels, but certain channels will host highlight reels from the matches, while others might display key replays to catch viewers up on the action.
There is also the possibility of vignette packages being made available on the ESPN digital platforms so that people who don't regularly watch eSports or Overwatch will be able to gather some sense of context of what's going on and why matches are structured the way that they are.
I imagine a lot of people who aren't interested or don't know much about first-person shooters could easily get confused watching an Overwatch eSports match for the first time, so this is why there are highlight programs being put together to help explain the gameplay mechanics and match rules. This is also a good way to get viewers familiar with some of the key members of various OWL teams, not unlike the way major broadcasting stations do vignettes for certain players during the NBA Playoffs or leading up to the Super Bowl for the NFL.
The events will be available starting tonight on July 11th and they will be broadcast across a selection of channels, including Disney XD, ESPN, ESPN 2, ESPN 3, ESPNews, and ABC up until July 29th. This will cover the quarterfinals up through to the grand finals, and then a post-recap featuring highlights from the event.
ESPN is no stranger to broadcasting eSports events, as EVO's Top 8 finals for Street Fighter V have made it to the cable station the last couple of years. The company seems to be expanding, though, branching into other games that also have a solid foundation in the eSports market.

Para lograr que filtre por el sub array items en la propiedad label tienes que hacer estas modificaciones:
 this.searchForm.get("critery").valueChanges.subscribe(termino => {
      if (!termino.trim()) {
        this.datosFiltrados = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(this.datos));
        return;
      }

      this.datosFiltrados = this.datosFiltrados.filter(x => {
        let ctg = x.category.toLowerCase().includes(termino.toLowerCase());

        if (ctg) return true;

        x.items = x.items.filter(i =>
          i.label.toLowerCase().includes(termino.toLowerCase())
        );

        return x.items.length > 0;
      });

Het voormalige postkantoor van Soesterberg is een gemeentelijk monument aan de Koppenlaan 17-17a in Soesterberg in de provincie Utrecht.

Het woonhuis met hulppostkantoor werd ontworpen door de Soesterbergse architect G.G. Hol in opdracht van M. Scheffers. In het lagere linkergedeelte was het postkantoor gevestigd. De ingang van het postkantoor is tussen 1983 en 1991 vervangen geweest door een venster. Ook aan de rechterzijde is een toegangsdeur. Aan de achterzijde van het pand werd in 1999 een serre aangebouwd. Het gebouw bestaat uit een aantal rechthoekige 'blokken' van een en twee lagen. De platte daken steken een eind over. Naast de deur is een glas-in-lood venster. Het glas-in-lood venster naast de serre loopt door om de hoek. De vensters in die rechtergevel zijn gelijk aan die in de voorzijde.

Ella Fassler: Mutual Aid Groups That Arose During COVID Gather to Build Power Regionally
Activists take inventory of donated foods while others stand and talk during a Day of Solidarity event at the DeKalb County Courthouse on April 3, 2021, in Auburn, Indiana. JON CHERRY / GETTY IMAGES
Truthout | July 10, 2022
More than two years after ad-hoc networks of collective care sprouted from the cracks of state neglect during the pandemic, mutual aid organizers across the U.S. are convening in Indiana this July to prepare these networks to face crisis, disasters and survival for the long haul.
"To the extent that we engage in this work only as an emergency response, it's doomed to stay a Band-Aid," said Shannon Malloy, who is helping plan a "Dual Power 2022" gathering from July 29-31 at Indiana Dunes State and National Parks. "It's our long-term, larger-scale interconnectedness that makes it more of a long-term viable solution, as opposed to just a way to stop the bleeding."
Malloy described building mutual aid networks as a tactic in the strategy of constructing "dual power," defined by the Black Socialists in America as "[a] situation where there are two powers — a democratic one developed by poor and working-class people (defined by direct democracy), and the other one capitalist (defined by domination) — coexisting and competing for legitimacy during a transition away from Capitalism."

Running The Numbers, Amazon's HBO Deal Is Not All It's Cracked Up To Be
Charley Blaine Contributor
I cover Microsoft, Amazon.com and general tech news.
Amazon.com made a big deal Wednesday morning about its licensing agreement with Time Warner's Home Box Office.
It may be a while before the agreement is really meaningful.
The deal allows Amazon's Prime Instant Video service to make available exclusively streaming versions of a number of hit series including "The Sopranos," "Six Feet Under," "The Wire," "Treme," "Big Love," early seasons of "Boardwalk Empire " and "True Blood" as well as "Band of Brothers" and "John Adams."
It sounds good, but it doesn't include such current HBO hits as "Game of Thrones."
Small wonder then that investors appeared to yawn at the news. The shares were down $4.29, or 1.4%, to $324.69 late Wednesday, a day before Amazon is to release its first-quarter results. The shares were rising after hours, however.
As often is the case with Amazon, the news contained some omissions as well as some downsides. No fee is mentioned. Morgan Stanley analysts priced it at $200 million to $250 million over the term, assuming a fee of $200,000 to $250,000 an episode.
The deal is described as multi-year, but how many years that entails is not clear. Three years is most likely.

Second, at least in the short-term, it's not clear what Amazon Prime will get from streaming old shows. There's little data on the demand for streams of, say, "Field of Dreams" or "The Godfather." But it's probably nowhere near the demand for "Game of Thrones" or "Veep," the comedy starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
Besides, it looks like the heart of the deal comes later in the year when HBO puts HBO Go on Amazon's Fire TV set-top box. HBO Go is the online service that lets subscribers view films and shows on demand and see other materials. And that, presumably, would make current hits accessible.
And, again, there is nothing in the release suggesting the dollar value of the deal.
Nor is there any mention of the on-going battle between video providers and companies like AT&T and Verizon Wireless about how much additional traffic Amazon could push onto the Internet.
Netflix, Amazon's biggest rival, saw its shares tumble 5.2% to $353.50 on Wednesday because not getting access to the HBO library could limit customer growth. HBO reportedly offered the library only to Amazon.
Apple shares also fell 1.3% to $524.75 in regular trading, presumably because of the effect of the Amazon deal on its programming prospects. (The shares took off after hours after Apple beat earnings and revenue estimates, a 7-for-1 stock split and a $130-billion capital return program.)
But let's go back to the effect on Amazon's bottom line. In March, Amazon raised its annual subscription fee for Prime members to $99 from $79. It had an estimated 23 million Prime subscribers in March. So, assuming no change in Prime subscribers, the increase could boost revenue by $460 million a year. The HBO deal may cut the benefit of that fee increase by, say, $67 million to $83 million a year.
There's a reason for the interest in Prime customers. They spend much more on Amazon than non-Prime customers. One study says Prime customers spend an average $1,340 a year, compared with $650 for the other customers.
Amazon needs benefits to keep the churn level down on the subscriber list. Piper Jaffray analysts put the churn at 5%; the Motley Fool has estimated 7%. So you offer those obviously valuable customers free shipping, HBO and a host of other incentives.
Amazon is under pressure to show growth in earnings per share. The shares have fallen about 20% since peaking at $408.06 intraday on Jan. 22.
The consensus Street estimate is that the company will report 23 cents a share for the first quarter, up from 18 cents a year ago, with revenue rising 21% to $19.4 billion. In its January earnings report, the company projected first-quarter revenue of $18.2 billion to $19.2 billion and operating income of -200 million to $200 million. A $200-million operating profit would mean an operating margin of slightly more than 1%.
A beat on the earnings could give the shares a boost.

Q: How to select columns with equal or more than 2 unique values while ignoring NA and blank? My dataframe looks similar to this:
 df <- data.frame(ID = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5),
               color = c(NA, "black", "black", NA, "brown"),
              animal = c("dog", "", "", "", "")
               owner = c("YES", "NO", "NO", "YES", NA))

ID
color
animal
owner

1
NA
dog
YES

2
black

NO

3
black

NO

4
NA

YES

5
brown

NA

I would like to retrieve the column names of all columns with more than 2 unique values while ignoring NA and blanks/empty strings in this calculation.
My solution so far:
df_col <- df %>%
        select_if(function(col) length(unique(na.omit(col)))>1)

df_col <- colnames(df_col)

But I have noticed that na.omit() won't help, since it deletes the whole row.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

A: Use n_distinct, which also have na.rm argument, The _if/_at/_all are deprecated in favor of across/where.  The empty strings ('') can be checked with nzchar which returns a TRUE only if it is non-empty, thus subset the elements of the columns with nzchar and then apply n_distinct column wise and create the condition to select only those columns and then get the names
library(dplyr)
df %>%
    select(where(~ n_distinct(.x[nzchar(.x)], na.rm = TRUE) > 1)) %>%
     names

-output
[1] "ID"    "color" "owner"

An option is also to convert the "" to NA (na_if), perhaps it may be slightly compact
df %>%
  select(where(~ n_distinct(na_if(.x, ""), na.rm = TRUE) > 1)) %>%
  names

A: You can do replace values with "" with NA (na_if), and then use lengths to count the number of unique values. Use names and which to get the vector of names that have more than two values.
names(which(lengths(lapply(na_if(df, ""), \(x) unique(x[!is.na(x)]))) >= 2))
[1] "ID"    "color" "owner"

Combining with n_distinct:
colnames(df)[lapply(na_if(df, ""), n_distinct, na.rm = T) >= 2]
[1] "ID"    "color" "owner"


We chartered with Seabbatical on one of the Leopards, having chartered with a few of the other companies in the past we always wanted to do a longer charter than the conventional 1 or 2 weeks time periods but could never afford the costs associated with a long term charter.
We came across Seabbatical's website and were excited about the prospect of a 26 day charter and the price was less than we paid for our last 20 day charter with another company.
So we contacted Ron the owner and booked our vacation in Dec right through the holiday madness. Was great to avoiding all crazy times related to the holidays, which was a first for us. We found the boat ready and well presented in the BVI's Manual Reef Marina. We were the first to arrive in our group and planned to stay at a hotel and get a early start on provisioning and other aspects of preparation to leave Tortola.
Having spoken to Ron 2 days before leaving he offered the boat to us early as it was not on charter and at the dock ready to go. We were most impressed with his offer and gladly accepted the extra 2 nights at the dock. We provisioned the boat with a car rental we pre arranged (dede's car rental) Deadman the owner arranged to meet us at the airport even though we were on the last flight coming in from St Maarten at 11pm. It was great having our own car to provision a tour around the island while we waited for the other guests to arrive, we were even able to pick them up at the airport to their surprize.

Mustafapaşa > Mansions > Cultural Assets > Erbil Mansion
The mansion, built in the second half of the 19th century by a member of the Makroğlu or Makropulos family. This family was one of the most privileged and prominent families of Mustafapaşa before the population exchange. Ilias Makris, who is mentioned as one of the eldest of the family in the records, maintained commercial activities in Istanbul. One of his sons, Hacı Vasilios, founded the Caviar Guild in Istanbul. He became wealthy by trading fish, and caviar, and he owned property in Galatasaray.
After the population exchange, Fahri Erbil and his family resided here. Today people know this building by this family's name. The mansion maintains its original function as a house. Although the upper story has been partially destroyed, the rest of the mansion is well preserved, and its architectural and ornament elements are in good condition. The two-story building made of cut stone is reached by an arched wooden door on the southwest facade and a four-step staircase that is symmetrical on both sides designed adjacent to the building.
From the beautifully designed door, an open courtyard is accessed through a vaulted arched corridor. To the east of the courtyard is a well-preserved small chapel. The mansion walls were built from stone using masonry techniques, and wood and iron materials have been used on the door, ceiling, and window elements. On the northern facade of the partially destroyed second story, there are two rooms carved into the rock and in perfect condition. Access to the rooms is provided by passing through the arched doorways in front of them. A niche in one of these rooms has a landscape painting consisting of mountain and tree depictions.


We are Spiritual Beings having a wild and unpredictable, earthly experience. There is so much to be grateful for as we navigate our way through this life. We must stay grounded in both our Spirit and Humanness in order to witness all of the miracles this extraordinary earthly existence has to offer.
There is nothing more powerful than coming together with a common intention to love and honor ourselves and this eearth. Unifying our light has never been more necessary to crate positive shifts in our planet. Together, let's be the love and be the light.

It's great and motivating. Indeed no heart has not felt sour pain. The forces above you might not always lead you to a perfect future,they might lead you to destruction.
Sometimes theirs no attraction between the two couples. Or they have lost interest in eachother. Divorce might be the best opition. I dont think they will get punished if they both felt that the marriage isint heading the direction they wanted it to head. And for people that divorce for no reason,without trying to solve the issue,only god knows what their punishment is. Some say that if a man/woman,mistreates you then on the day of judgment you can take his/her hasa'anat (good deeds). Bascially, it will be pay back time. By you taking from his/her hasa'ant,you can then have a chain of good deeds,that will lead you to entering heaven.
Lol,you just added colour and it looks soo much better. See how quick you turned it into java. Good skills. You should be on the same team as rep.
As A Shia,how Are You Treated By Other Muslims?
@ alina, what strange/weird,is the fact that he believes in the sahabes, put doesnt seem to have respect for ahul bayat. He may respect them,however if he charged the guy extra purelly because he had a tattoo which indicates his love for ahul bayat,makes the person wonder why they have higher respect for the sahabs but not ahul bayat (as). And isint imam ali (as) a sahaba for you sunnis? From what I know he is the last khalifia for you guys. Yes,each person is intitiled to their own believes. Their are sunnis that have respect for ahul bayat and I doudt they would say the same thing,the seller said to the guy. Anyways, I dont want to make it a debate but just saying my opinion. Salam pearl, Hope your well. In the uk, I havet had any problems and if they have an issue, I usually answer them back the way they need to be answered back. My sunni mates are normal, we do argue sometimes but we are still friends. Lol,some of them have holded their fastes longer so they can open it the same time that I do. I have prayed with them. Lol, we used to joke about, "oh your going hell,and theirs me saying nope you are",lol. Nothing serious thou. I have heard that in dubia shias do face difficulties and am not surprised.
To be fair this attack is not going to help the paliestines one bit. We can order say rip to 100 palistienes from now,because you know so that the isrealies worint settle down and take this attack lightley. And yes,if isreal attacks palistien then it will be just called self defending and vice versa. And the cycle continues untill theirs no humans left to kill..
It's not the latest news,but isis are manfacturing their own money. It's all coins,gold,sliver,bronze. Look at where we are,these rats want to make their own money too. Talk about ist'takrar taam in the muuheed their in. How can they have time for all this.
How do they know that those two guys were soliders? Bunch of idoits,if you want to prove a point theirs no need to attack innocent people,go for the big dogs and discuss your issues with them.
Salam, He can read surat al kwather after reading al fatiha,it's short. Whatever small thing he does will be accepted inshallah,dont put to much pressure on him. Get him to repeat the words after you,and say the salah in a loud (not overly loud) voice,so he can hear you and he can remmber the words. If he has a problem he will not get punished for not being able to remmber or to stay still while praying.
Wsalam, That's one cool profession. Animation is something I like,do you use specific softwares to create the story and characters? Is their a easy software to use for beginers? Good thing you want into a field you like, I just want for some random field,lol.
Offering Yourself To Your Husband.
The only thing this hadith is showing is selfishness. Why,because if he refuses you then it's fine however if you refuse him,it's never okay unless you have some good excuse. It is not surprising to see some men not meeting the needs of their wifes,specially if we have hadiths like this that are one sided,and teach woman that if he refuses then you did your part. Am not sure,how accourt this hadith is and what the hadith after is. Maybe you can state the lines after that hadith,even if it's in arabic. Looking good and smelling nice is somthing your meant to do for yourself and not just for your husband, yes sometimes you want to go out of your way and do something specially,but if the other half is not going to appricate it then it certainlty isint necessary for you to keep doing the same thing.
People that have nothing to with it are always the onces that are losing. What has a 80 year old woman done to die in such a way. It's disguesting. Karma sure does exists,but again the wrong people will pay the price,in a war situation.
Latino woman are not insane,loooool. No comment. You only get one chance,well thats whats in their mind. So you need to pick wisely. And all risks should be avoided,lol. That's why some of as are more difficult to get. #arabsturbborness. It's mainly the parents that want you to take from your own country. You can stand against them,however one needs to identify if the indivudal that they will be with is actually worth it.#swotchart.
So sicking,soo sad. Taking your own life away is the only opition you have in that situation. Or getting yourself killed by the enemy. God would probably be understand of the situation and may not punish the person for commiting sucide.


We're thrilled to be introducing a new yarn brand at Laughing Hens: Amano Yarns! With a heartwarming mission and inspiring yarns, we know you'll love Amano yarns as much as we do.
What's special about Amano Yarns?
These luxury yarns are spun with only the finest of baby alpaca and mulberry silk fibers. They are soft, strong, and created with a traditional yet stunning color palette. From lace weight to chunky yarns, there's a yarn for every project, and we can't wait to show them to you!
Royal alpaca fiber is the cream of the crop: the softest alpaca fiber available on the market. This DK weight yarn is spun with cashmere and mulberry silk for a gorgeous, dip-dyed yarn with a subtle sheen that's perfect for accessories and garments alike. We love the Antonia Cardigan: it really shows off the tonal shades of this yarn.
This DK weight yarn is an excellent choice for all of your DK weight garments: the high twist of the yarn means that it looks gorgeous plain, cabled, textured, or lacy. We're loving this Dorita Jumper, knit up in Puna yarn.
This 4-ply, sport weight yarn was designed to live up to its namesake, which means "Gift from the gods." It's no small wonder that this incredibly soft yarn is sorted and dehaired by hand! Available in pure white, this yarn is a great contender for heirloom wedding shawls. We love the Misti Cowl in this yarn, as seen here.
This stunning chunky weight yarn is spun with baby alpaca and merino wool. "Mamacha" means mommy in the native Inca language, and it's clear that this yarn is spun for the kind of comfort only a mother (and gorgeous yarn) can give. We love the Alca Cowl in this yarn, seen here.
In the native Quechua language spoken by the Inca people, "Warmi" means union. This aran weight yarn is a union of two favorite fibers, baby alpaca and merino wool. The shades are inspired by native Peruvian produce, dyed with gorgeous vibrant shades. We love the Isabel Shawl, knitted up in this yarn.
This DK weight yarn has a beautiful drape that's perfect for accessories like scarves, shawls, and ponchos. With a delicate shine and a high twist, this yarn has a superb stitch definition that really shows off the beauty of the yarn. With a range of muted and neutral shades, these colors were designed to work together.
This aran weight yarn is blended with baby llama and silk for a gorgeously soft yarn that we love for garments and accessories alike. With a soft halo, this yarn knits up soft, warm, and snuggly. Look at this gorgeous textured scarf, knitted up in Amano Colca! Click the image to see the pattern.
This high-tech chunky weight yarn is created by injecting puffs of air into a spun cage of mulberry silk, and then spun with the baby alpaca fiber for a yarn that knits up fast without the heavy weight of other chunky yarns. Available in a range of neutral shades, this yarn is a must-have for your stash. We love the Marcellina Pullover, knitted up with this yarn!
Similar to the Puna range, Eco Puna is 100% baby alpaca spun into a DK weight yarn. Unlike it's sibling yarn, Eco Puna is undyed: the available shades are the exact shades of the alpacas it comes from. As the only difference is dye, this yarn works up to any Puna pattern.


Back in December, the Trump FCC repealed net neutrality. Originally agreed to by the Obama FCC in 2015, net neutrality prohibits carriers/ISPs from blocking certain websites, charging more for access to specific websites, or seeking premium rates for higher quality internet service. But before you bemoan the end of net neutrality, a last minute war is being wagered in the Senate and Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) now says Democrats in the Senate are a single vote away from restoring net neutrality.
A resolution that would restore the Open Internet Order of 2015 now has 50 votes. All 49 Democrats and one Republican (Susan Collins of Maine) are siding in favor of the resolution. But one more vote is required to prevent Vice President Mike Pence from showing up in the Senate to cast the deciding vote. If the Democrats can get one more vote from the other side of the aisle, it would be a slap in the face to FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, appointed to the post by Trump.
As if trying to get one more vote isn't enough pressure, the Democrats are hamstrung by the clock. The Congressional Review Act gives the Senate 60-days to challenge a decision made by an independent agency like the FCC. With less than 30-days to go, Schumer and his coalition will have to scramble to reverse the repeal of net neutrality.
How exactly did that Republican Susan Collins m side with the Democrats in vote of net neutrality? I hope it isn't fishy (bribery), just saying.
More fishy than the bribery that was the reason for the repeal in the first place?
Nope, he was made chairman by Trump three days after Trump's inauguration. He was previously a Republican FCC representative, obviously approved by Obama as he was the Pres then, but he's always been a Republican representative.
You didn't exactly counter what he said. He just said Ajit Pai was placed on the FCC by Obama which is a true statement. Obama appointed him to the FCC in 2012 at the recommendation of Mitch McConnell.
Regardless of President, FCC membership (and other agencies) is split amongst political parties. His point was pointless.
Are you that disgusting racist indian troll, starting a new account every day now, "AxelFoley"? Why don't you just end yourself, so we don't have to see you on here any more?
That's not who you think it is. He may have the profile pic, but Axel has been here for a good long while and I've never seen him say anything with racial connotations, let alone prejudice.
Well...as long as Apple isn't currently considered a race or ethnicity.
Well, if you decide to only read half of what I said, we could argue you're right. But, then we're really not having a conversation, are we? The part where I made it perfectly clear he's a choice made by the GOP is enormously important. He's a republican, corporation lackey, like all other Republicans.
The resolution will most likely pass the Senate but face an uphill in the House. Why? Because it all has to deal with who is up for midterm elections in vulnerable "purple" states or districts. Those who feel vulnerable will sign onto the measure while those who are safe will not.
It will not not pass because it will likley not get voted on. The handful of purple state Republicans do not outweigh the majority of Republicans who do no not want it. Unless the majority of the majority will vote for it, it won't come to the floor. 51 votes are irrelevant unless Mitch McConnell is one of them. By not allowing the vote, purple state Republicans can go on saying they are for net neutrality but it just never came up.
Someone compared the Internet to the highway system. Companies that use it more, pay more road tax. This made sense to me.
That someone, Bill Gates, also did a complete 180 on that analogy, as it's dumb. Consumers are paying for the amount of data they use. Net Neutrality is there to protect the consumer from not getting charged twice for the product. If the ISP is allowed to double dip on charges, who do you think gets to pay both ends of the charge in the end?
The companies aren't going to have to worry about anything. Whatever happens, the costs will end up at the consumers door.
Wow, you are so literate.

Student Spotlight: Merissa Taylor
Photo by: Melanie Dozier
Merissa Taylor uses traveling as a way to relax and take a break from school and work.
Melanie Dozier, Staff Writer
Rather than allowing stress to keep her down, Merissa Taylor said she uses it to encourage herself to travel and better herself every day.
Growing up with three sisters, Taylor graduated from West Florence High School in 2019. She did cheerleading when she was younger and continued cheer all the way through school. She also participated in choir the last three years of high school. From constantly being around people and performing, Taylor developed impressive people skills and a love for children.
Beginning her FMU journey as a transfer student from the College of Charleston last year, Taylor is now a sophomore. She decided to major in elementary education and minor in history so she can teach in elementary school as well as in a middle school history department.
Nannying two children inspired her career path. Her experiences in childcare have enabled her to appreciate the meaningful connections that can be created with others.
"I do not even look at them as kids; I look at them as my very best friends," Taylor said.
Taylor also said she enjoys working and traveling. Sometimes, it can be overwhelming, since she is a full-time student, works as a nanny after school and as a hostess at a local restaurant in the evenings. However, she manages her time well and always keeps her grades up.
To relieve her stress, Taylor travels around different areas in North and South Carolina on the weekends when she can. She also enjoys venturing outside of the Carolinas as much as possible.
"I've been to Asheville, Greenville and Charleston most recently," Taylor said.
Taylor said her most impactful trip was an impromptu one to New York after a breakup.
"I'd have to say the most important and biggest trip would have to be when I went to New York after getting my heart broken last summer," Taylor said
Taylor said she had a friend who had gone to New York for fashion school, but when COVID-19 hit, her friend had to come home. She ended up having to go back to get the rest of her things, so, one day, she suggested to Taylor that they take a trip to New York. So they packed the car and drove to New York City, stopping in Virginia and New Jersey along the way. Taylor and her friend also went to Washington, D.C., during the trip.
"Everyone says not to travel right now because of COVID, but it was the best time to go because no one was there," Taylor said. "We drove scooters around D.C. and saw people at the Lincoln Memorial drinking wine and staring up at the monument because this was when the Black Lives Matter protests were going on. It felt like we were in a movie."
The trip was beneficial for Taylor, even though the world is in a pandemic and she had to return to school after the trip. Going back to reality was difficult, but she is hoping to return to New York in the summer for another get-away from the stress and anxiety of school.

Iowa State University to be home to the 2020 National Thanksgiving Turkey
AMES, Iowa – For the first time, Iowa State University will serve as the home of the official National Thanksgiving Turkey following next week's National Thanksgiving Turkey Presentation at the White House.
The official Thanksgiving Turkey and alternate bird, raised in Iowa by Iowa State University alumni, will be available for public viewing at Iowa State University beginning Dec. 5 at 10 a.m. You can follow along with their journey to the White House on the National Turkey Federation Facebook page.
"We are excited to welcome these national Thanksgiving icons onto our animal science farms. Iowa State University is invested in supporting the poultry and turkey industries through teaching and research as evidenced in our new state-of-the-art turkey production facility to be built in the spring of 2021. We welcome people to come view the newest arrivals at Iowa State," said Dr. Dan Thomson, professor and chair of the Department of Animal Science at Iowa State University.
The 2020 Presidential Flock was raised by Iowa turkey producers Ron and Susie Kardel, from Walcott, Iowa. Two turkeys selected from their special flock will travel to Washington, D.C. to participate in this annual Thanksgiving tradition. One bird will be named the National Thanksgiving Turkey and both pardoned turkeys will return to live out the rest of their days at Iowa State University.
Ron Kardel, a 1974 farm operation graduate of Iowa State, currently serves as the chairman of the National Turkey Federation. Iowa is the seventh largest turkey producing state in the nation with 130 turkey farmers and the fifth largest state for turkey processing. The turkey industry is responsible for $10.64 billion in total economic activity throughout Iowa.
"With one of the world's strongest research programs in poultry genetics, breeding, nutrition and management, we've long been a leader in poultry expertise," said Daniel J. Robison, endowed dean's chair of the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences at Iowa State University. "Our caring and excellent faculty and top-notch facilities provide the best hands-on education for students and the infrastructure to pursue new scientific discoveries."
The Department of Animal Science will make the turkeys available for public viewing, student engagement and teaching and outreach activities. Animal science students, faculty and College of Veterinary Medicine students will all contribute to the care of these National Thanksgiving Turkeys.
Katelyn Boeding, a junior in agricultural communications and student president of the Poultry Interest Group at Iowa State said, "These turkeys will help educate students and the public about the turkey industry in Iowa while adding to the strong poultry curriculum at Iowa State."
West Liberty Foods contributed educational displays for the turkey's public viewing area. The turkeys will be available for viewing, as COVID-19 precautions allow, beginning Dec. 5, 2020 at 10 a.m. All visitors must follow Iowa State University COVID-19 policies including wearing a face covering and physical distancing. Please visit https://www.ans.iastate.edu/2020-national-thanksgiving-turkey for more details and current visiting protocols.

VINTAGE BRICKYARD VICTORY FOR BRABHAM
Indy 500 starter, Matt Brabham held off a hungry Max Papis for victory in the Indy Legends Pro-Am feature race this weekend at the Brickyard Vintage Racing Invitational.
Brabham's illustrious weekend kicked off when he was thrown into the 1963 'Class B' Corvette Roadster with Amateur driver Michael Donohue, on Saturday as a last minute call up for the event.
Qualifying for the 'Pro' drivers in the field saw an all Brabham front row. On the Saturday before Father's day, Matt managed to pip his father, Geoff by 0.6's to sit on pole for the Indy Legends race. A point of pride for the younger Brabham.
For the race start, drivers were required to hand duties over to the 'amateur' car owners. Matt was sidelined for the first 10 laps, as Donohue made the race start in their Corvette.
A Brabham vs. Brabham on track battle wasn't to be when Geoff Brabham's co-driver, Jody O'Donnell struck a mechanical issue. O'Donnell suffered a suspension failure four laps into the race and the day was over for the pair. Geoff and Matt unable to go head-to-head at racing speed.
Matt's day didn't run entirely smoothly either, Donohue was required to run the maximum 10 laps for the co-driver as the car developed a fuel issue, while others changed drivers earlier in their stints.
Once the third generation racer got in the car, which was one of the oldest in the field, he was able to make an impact on those ahead. Donohue and Brabham were off the podium as they came out of pit lane, but Matt was able to battle his way back to the front and through formidable talents.
The dual American and Australian resident, came up on IndyCar legend Paul Tracy who has won the event previously. Brabham duelled with Tracy, before making his way passed.
After rounding up Tracy, Brabham was then faced with the task of getting past Max Papis. Papis put up a fight, Brabham relishing the chance to go wheel-to-wheel with the hard racer. The pair diced for a few laps with the clock counting down until the chequered flag, until they came up on the back of Jimmy Kite. Papis led Brabham passed Kite, before Brabham was able to swoop around him in the final few laps.
It was a well earned victory for Brabham in a car that couldn't match the Class A cars for speed on the straightaways, but was able to out-brake competitors coming into the corners.
Brabham was then on the sidelines for the Sunday feature race, cheering his father on to victory in the #83 1971 Brabham BT35-31. It was a special victory for the family, as the car was driven by Geoff's father and Matt's grandfather, the legendary Sir Jack Brabham. Matt carries the number 83 in Stadium Super Trucks, where he currently leads the championship.
Brabham is now set to jet from Indianapolis to Queensland, Australia, to steer the Preston Hire Racing Holden Commodore in preparation for his stint as a co-driver in the Supercars PIRTEK Enduro Cup starting in September. Brabham will get behind the wheel again at Queensland Raceway for the dedicated co-driver session (July 20-22).
WHAT MATT HAD TO SAY …
"It was a pretty special weekend, I had a whole lot of fun. I'm very thankful that Mike Donohue was able to get me in the car for this weekend," said Brabham.
"The race to the end with Max was awesome. It was a big honour to race against him like that, and then to come away with a victory was even sweeter.
"It's a pity that Dad wasn't able to get in the car. He had a great shot at winning and it would have been cool to see what could have been.
"Battling with names like Paul Tracy and Max, was awesome. The event was great, and I'm thankful that I got to be a part of it."

Cricket: Yasir joins Waqar as second fastest to 150 wickets
ABU DHABI: Pakistan leg-spinner Yasir Shah became the joint second fastest bowler to claim 150 Test wickets on the opening day of the first Test against Sri Lanka in Abu Dhabi on Thursday.
The 31-year-old dismissed Lahiru Thirimanne leg before for nought in the first session to reach the milestone in his 27th Test match, equalling the mark of illustrious countryman Waqar Younis.
Australia's Sydney Barnes holds the record as the quickest to 150 Test wickets, achieving the figure in his 24th Test at Durban in 1913.
But Shah is the quickest spinner to the landmark as both Barnes and Waqar were fast bowlers.
Since making his Test debut against Australia at Dubai in 2014, Shah has been the main wicket-taker for his team. He claimed 19 scalps in Pakistan's 2-2 series draw in England last year.
That result briefly lifted Pakistan to world number one in the Test rankings, resulting in the leg-spinner receiving a national cricketer of the year award.
Shah also took 24 wickets in Pakistan's 2-1 win in Sri Lanka in 2015 and followed that up with another 25 in three Tests in the West Indies earlier this year.
He was also the joint second fastest to 100 wickets, reaching the mark last year after just 17 Tests.
England's George Lohmann racked up 100 Test wickets in 16 matches in the 19th century, while Australian duo Charlie Turner and Clarrie Grimmett needed a mere 17 Tests, like Shah, to bring up a century.

Here's how Cardano differs from Bitcoin and Ethereum (video)
Charles Hoskinson, founder of Cardano, an open source blockchain and decentralized cryptocurrency project, says the project represents a huge technological leap over Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
In a new interview with Altcoin Buzz with Laya Heilpern, the founder of Input Output Hong Kong (IOHK) described the main offer of Bitcoin as a value when it was first invented.
"Bitcoin was the first engine. This was the first generation. Indeed, it was the concept of having decentralized money, decentralized transfer value, a decentralized ledger, and somehow a dynamic and decentralized network to support everything.
This was not the case before Bitcoin. No one has ever done something like this …
The problem with Bitcoin is that it is very simple in what it can do. This is not a criticism. This was a design feature that the architects of this system tried to push through. "
Hoskinson claims that the limited supply of Bitcoin, which applied value to pressure, gave rise to Ethereum.
"[With Bitcoin] you can't issue assets. You cannot make a complex contractual relationship. You can't do dApps and DeFi, and all that stuff.
Therefore, the purpose of Ethereum , which was the first second generation of cryptocurrency, was to try to understand what this model looks like. So it took away everything from the previous generation – decentralized ledger, dynamic and decentralized management. But then she said, "Now all of a sudden, your transactions are programmable."
While Ethereum's programmability opens many doors, Hoskinson believes that the second largest cryptocurrency is limited by its inability to scale and share data with traditional systems.
"It's not enough to just say, 'Hey, we're going to build a system that's blind and deaf, and it doesn't really understand or see the world around it.' We need to build a system that is aware that there are other systems and can communicate with them and move value and information. "
Hoskinson says the constraints he sees in both Bitcoin and Ethereum have led to the creation of Cardano .
"So when you put these three things together – interoperability, scalability and resilience – it functionally creates what we call third-generation cryptocurrency.
Now, to do that, we had to take a very different way of designing things. We went back to the first principles, so we didn't assume anything … Basically, slowly but surely, we built a body of capabilities, whether it's consensus capabilities or leadership and programmability capabilities, or voting systems and management capabilities. When you string them all together, it's Cardano. "
