40+ Amazing Celtic Tattoo Designs With Meanings
At some point, Celts were the major ethnicity in Europe. However, their descendants can only be found in Scotland, Ireland, and the surrounding lands today. The Celtic people had a rich culture and practiced paganism. They also used knots, and various other symbols to communicate. Now, these symbols are proudly presented in tattoos, but not many people know what they mean.
A lot of belief stems around the Celtic people but most of it surrounds their knots and other symbols that were preserved in the culture. In this article, we'll talk about whether the Celts did ink their bodies, and what do the symbols they used mean, and how they can be used in the tattoos.
Celtic People And Tattoos
Saved Tattoo
A lot of people wonder whether Celts tattooed different symbols from their culture into their bodies. Some historians claim that the Celtic tattoos were never a thing and that the tattoos came to Scotland and Ireland only in the last century. But, this claim may not apply the same for all the aspects of Celtic tattooing.
A lot of other sources suggest that the Celts, particularly Celtic warriors used to tattoo their bodies with different Celtic symbols. Nevertheless, the most prominent symbol is the knot tattoos. A lot of legends suggest that Celts used to make knots out of tree branches and communicate with their kind this way. They placed the knots made out of wood on trees in the forest to pave the way for those who wanted to join them.
Tattoos, made out of woad plant, and other powder derived from the trees would serve Celts multiple purposes. However, the most prominent purpose was protection and some way of scaring their enemies with the colors on their faces and bodies.
Some clues hint that the woad plant didn't serve just as the tattoo, but rather the body paint, suggesting that there were also other materials that Celts used for tattooing. Some of those materials included copper and iron-based powder which helped them ink their face and body skin.
The tattoos that the Celts drew on themselves are ridiculously similar to the Celtic symbols that we know of today, but there were likely some other tattoos that could hint at the social status and other traits of those who wore them.
For some people, knot designs were unique, and the best way to ask spirits for guidance and protection, especially in battles against enemies.
Some evidence suggests that only men inked their skin, while other evidence claims that both men and women were wearing them. The men on the battlefields were decorated with knot tattoos that were flattering their upper chest and arms.
They were interlocked with various symbols, patterns, and textures, which was also important when it came to their social status, courage, and other traits.
Celtic Tattoo Symbols
Now that we defined the basic relationship between the Celtic tribes and the earliest body paint, tattoos, and how those tribes used them, let's take a look at the most significant symbols used in the tattoo culture, derived from the Celtic culture.
Perhaps, some of these symbols also exist in other cultures, such as the Tree in Life. However, in this article, we're going to talk mostly about the knot tattoo designs, because they are authentic to the Celtic people and are widely practiced in the tattoo culture now.
Celtic Knots: Celtic knots are some of the oldest signatures of the Celtic civilizations, with first records about them appearing in the 4th and 5th century when Christians made contact with the Celtic civilization. Both Christianity and Celtic culture influenced one another, with some of the knots appearing in the ancient Christian records such as manuscripts and artwork.
A post shared by Kübra BEŞİR (@kubra.besir)
Even though they were discovered in the 5th century, some scholars and historians believe that knots are older than that, dating back to 500 B.C. But, what does the Celtic Knot mean? Knots are made so that there's no beginning or the end, which could hint at the belief that life is eternal, from physical to spiritual form, and that even after the physical passing, the life persists and goes on, with no start or finish.
Besides the obvious synonym to eternity, the Celtic knots mark loyalty, faith, courage, friendship, passion, and love, all the things that appear through the eternity of life as it is. There are knots made of either just one or multiple threads. Nevertheless, each thread shows the connection between life and death, making it eternity.
Celtic art is extremely popular, especially at the cradle of the Celtic civilization in Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. The people who live there respect the descendants of the Celtic civilizations and often practice getting the Celtic Knot tattoos, which during the last decades and years of the 20th century traveled to other parts of the world, including the tattoo studios in the United States.
There are many knot designs, and some of them were so important that they developed in the unique designs as is, including the Trinity Knot and Lover's Knot that we'll talk about below.
Here are some of the key Celtic Knots used in the tattoo culture:
Celtic Spirals – they can mark accomplishments, ambitions, balance, spirituality, universe, and heaven. A single spiral can also represent the sun.
Step Patterns – Step patterns are used to mark the life and all the endeavors that mark it. Each progress and milestone in life is represented by a step pattern in a knot.
Trinity Knot: Trinity Knot can be seen in various pop culture achievements such as movies about witchcraft, and the popular TV show called Charmed. However, no one would guess that it's originally a Celtic symbol that represents the trinity. It's particularly associated with women.

In the Celtic beliefs, Trinity Knots marked the three stages of a woman's life known as the stages of "maiden, mother, and crone." This symbol was likely adopted by Christianity and Catholicism to mark the father, son, and the holy spirit.
Nevertheless, there is no confirmation that the Christians adopted this symbolism from the Celtic culture. It's a pagan sign that was respected and worshipped by Celts, according to different scholars.
In that sense, this tattoo is often practiced by women who believed in the "triple Goddess" respected by the Celtic civilization.
Love Knot: A big part of the Celtic symbolism refers to love and passion and Love Knot is no exception. That's why it's a popular tattoo among couples who want to mark their love. The love knot marks the everlasting and unconditional love between two individuals. Nevertheless, many scholars believe that the Love Knot is a modern design.

Whether it's derived from the Celtic Knots or not, it's one of the most popular wedding tattoos, as it was believed that couples tattooed this symbol as the symbol of their love that is timeless and unconditional. The interlocking between the knots marks the devotion of two people who love each other.
In modern times, what makes the love knots tattoos great is that they can be customized to serve the purpose and desires of all couples who want to get them. Keep in mind that you don't have to get this tattoo just for the sake of love devotion between partners. The knot marks the unconditional love individually that can be applied to everything.
Tree Of Life: As mentioned before, the tree of life doesn't only have a place in the Celtic culture and symbolism. It's present in many more cultures, including the Nordic and Slavic cultures, as well as some African tribes that also worship the tree in life.
The meanings behind the concept of the Tree of Life are mainly similar, with the tree looking nearly identical as in the other cultures. It's a tree with super-deep and branchy roots, as well as branchy and spread out branches that reach far into the sky.
In simple words, the tree of life symbolizes the desire for greatness and rising to greatness, power, and success. What it also means that only those with humble beginnings can reach far into the skies of success.
Triskele: The Triskele tattoo can be interpreted in many ways, but similarly to the Slavic and some other cultures, the number 3 in the Celtic culture is considered sacred. The triple spiral is there to worship the sacred number 3 and can represent multiple symbols joined together.
Some of the most popular representations of the Triskele tattoo include:
Water, sky, and earth
Father, mother, and child
Beginning, middle, end
The human world, Spirit World, and Heaven
Triskele can also mean "three legs" and it can mark the movement of different energies that eventually get merged. It is also believed that it's connected to the concept of the Holy Trinity in Christianity.
Best Celtic Tattoos
We detailed some of the most popular Celtic symbols to the tiniest details. If that didn't help you come up with your unique Celtic tattoo, stay with us throughout the rest of this article, and take a look at the best Celtic tattoos that we found. Hopefully, some of them will inspire you to make the most attractive and authentic Celtic tattoo.
Tree Of Life Tattoo

As mentioned earlier, the tree of life commonly appears in many different cultures and brings people closer to their humble beginnings and greatness. The tree of life in this tattoo is pictured on the chest, close to the heart, which is the center of life in the human body. We think that's greatly thought out. The tattoo is also quite detailed and adds other symbols such as birds, which make the tree closer to the sky. This is a great tattoo idea and could fit greatly on other parts of the body, as well as other symbols added.
Sacred Geometry Knot
Celtics among many other civilizations practice using geometrical symbols in their language, culture, and art. Celtic knots often feature various authentic geometrical symbols, which many professionals also call the Sacred Geometry. The sacred Geometry symbol shown in this tattoo can often be found in different Celtic symbols, as well as on the internet. The knot is detailed and well-decorated and would greatly fit other parts of the body too. In this particular case, it was used for a leg tattoo.
Celtic Cross Tattoo
Celtic crosses are inked by many people who are fascinated by the Celtic civilization and symbolism, yet follow the rules of Christianity and pray to God. It is widely speculated that the Celtic civilization was pagan. However, when Christians came to the grounds of Great Britain, it is believed that the Celts took the Christian cross and curated it to be knotted and decorated with the Celtic symbols. That made it a quite popular tattoo for everyone who likes Celtic embroidery and symbols. This particular tattoo was made with great detail and can be combined with various other symbols.

Celtic And Nordic Design Tattoo
It's no secret that various Celtic designs are similar to the Nordic patterns. For example, knots are present in both Celtic and Nordic culture. This tattoo was inspired by both. It uses the circular design seen in many Nordic Symbols, but the knot design in itself is mainly similar to the design of the Celtic knots. We like this tattoo design because it's interlaced to the smallest details. It must've taken a long time for the tattoo artist to develop it to perfection. We also like how the shading is done. It'll be a great inspiration for those who are looking to mix knots.
Celtic Ascension Tattoo
Some people believe that some key Christian holidays such as Christmas as we know it today were derived from paganic traditions, particularly bound to the Celtic traditions and customs. That's why people who are fascinated by the Celtic cultures celebrate holidays in pagan customs. This tattoo symbol marks Ascension. We believe that this type of tattoo is quite painful, and it's not for everyone. Nevertheless, it's an interesting spot for a tattoo if you have a perfect jawline.
Celtic Snake Knot Tattoo
This tattoo combines two symbols, the tree of life that we already detailed above, and the Snake knot, which is a popular pagan symbol that marks rebirth. That's why it's represented in the knot of a snake eating its tail, to highlight that it's eternal. Given that the tree of life also represents ascension and life, it is a good symbol to highlight that life always prevails over death and that we're all reborn. It's a good tattoo for people who are struggling and going through some difficulties. We also like the highlights in the ink, as well as shading. We believe this tattoo could be made in different sizes, and perhaps add some more symbolism.

Stone Trinity Knot Tattoo
This is not a typical Triquetra symbol, but it's incredibly detailed and made to look like those symbols in old houses or the engraved floors in the Celtic temples. This perfectly-looking tattoo could decorate any part of the body, as well as in different sizes. The symbol is made so that it looks three-dimensional, which just adds up to its depth. We explained everything you need to know about this tattoo above. That said, this symbol may be more attractive to ladies than men.
Colorful Knot Tattoo

If you're looking for a more colorful Celtic tattoo, while also looking like the traditional Sacred Geometry knots, this tattoo is ideal. The colors are vibrant and detailed, as well as the interlocking between the knots. This design is small, so it's great for forearms, calves, shoulders, wrists, and others. Nevertheless, this design could look great regardless of where you put it.
Celtic Armband Tattoo
If you're looking for an armband tattoo, checking the Celtic armband tattoos is a must. Most of the armbands use the Sacred Geometry to add depth to the Celtic knots. While this may not be as deep as the other ones, it perfectly shows the alignment and the parallel drawn between the different spirals. There is some additional symbolism that you can add to make the tattoo better-looking.

Celtic Fish Tattoo
Celts respected animals including wolves, bears, and fish, particularly the salmon that they respected as the symbols of wisdom, tracking, and much more. They also ate fish because they believed they will give them the wisdom and courage to persists even through the most restless of waters. This tattoo is incredibly detailed, and there is a nice transition between the shades.

Celtic Sleeve Tattoo
Celtic sleeves are usually black in combination with various knots represented as the geometrical shapes that look detailed and feature multiple dimensions that you could easily get lost in. This tattoo is no exception, and it looks great. You can also see the interlocking between various symbols such as Triskele and the Trinity Knots. They look like chains and add extra depth to the entire design.

Celtic Back Tattoo
This tattoo is supposed to mimic Triskele and other curling symbols of the Celtic people. We like the transition between the outlined shade, and how both symbols on each back shoulder look nearly entirely symmetric. The tattoo looks detailed, deep, and quite modern. The second tattoo features a Tree of Life design that is stunning and detailed.
Triple Goddess Tattoo
This looks like a lovely and unique Triple Goddess design. The Triple Goddess is also represented by the Trinity Knot that marks the three stages in the life of a woman "maiden, mother and crone." This tattoo shows a woman praying while surrounded and wrapped in knots. There are other details such as the moon in different stages, which look quite creative and detailed.
Floral Knot Tattoo
Floral designs in tattoos are quite frequent. When combined with Celtic knots that are tied to nature, we get the absolute winner tattoo. The flowers are detailed, deep, and add more femininity and elegance to the entire tattoo scope. We believe that if more details were added, as well as knots, this design would make a bold floral sleeve tattoo.
Celtic Tattoos: More FAQs
Celtic mythology and symbolism is quite interesting and always leaves people with a lot of questions, especially if it's something about tattoos. Below, we'll list answer to questions we're frequently being asked about the celtic tattoos.
Q: Did Celtic people really wear tattoos with knots?
A: What's for sure is that they used knots in their language and as a matter of communication. However, there's no definitive evidence that they decorated their bodies with permanent ink and anything other than body dye derived from the plants. Given they've been buried centuries ago, no analysis could prove that they had tattoos because the skin decomposed long time ago. Nevertheless, a lot of scholars claim that Celts had tattoos, especially during the battle.
Q: What do Celtic symbols mean?
A: Celtic symbols were used to communicate, and they mainly referred to their surroundings from the nature, such as water, air, sun, moon and others. That's what made them popular too. The knots, which are the most popular Celtic symbols also look into the meanings like life, death, eternal life and spirituality.
Q: What are the most popular Celtic symbols for tattoos?
A: Most of the knots that represent the Sacred Geometry are a popular symbol for a tattoo. That also includes symbols like the Trinity Knot, Love Knot, Celtic cross, tree of life, Triskele and others.
Q: How long would it take for a Celtic tattoo to be made?
A: Celtic tattoos, if they include Geometric symbols, could take hours to make, likely 5 to 6 hours. If the tattoo is even more complex and challenging for your tattoo artist, it could also take multiple sessions. Of course, if you're tattooing a smaller symbol like Trinity Knot or Triskele that could likely take anywhere between 3 and 5 hours to complete. Always talk to your tattoo artist before attempting more complex tattoo designs to ensure that they can do it without a mistake.

In poker, psychology is a huge part of the game. This is even true with online poker, although many people do not believe so. And while it's a fact that it's very tough to get inside the head of an opponent that you can't see, it is still possible to make accurate decisions based upon group psychology laws. The good news is that while it is not easy for you, it's also not easy for your opponents to do the same with your play. The even better news is that because you know this, you can use it to your advantage to play in a manner that belies these psychological theories. So it doesn't matter if you don't have a good poker face, you can alter your play in a way that makes it very difficult or even impossible for others to "know" what you are thinking.
So how do you do this? First, start with what you do know about poker in general. There are four types of players, in general. Loose-Aggressive, Loose-Passive, Tight-Aggressive, and Tight-Passive. At lower levels of play, the loose players are much more common while the tight players are usually found with higher stakes. Now look at what levels you play at. If you play at the $40/$80 table, you will likely see very different style of play than if you are at the $0.05/$0.10 table. This can be used to help you out in a big way.
Why? Because when someone makes a bet at a lower level, the possibility of them having an awesome hand is far lower than if they were playing at a high level. A basic poker fact is that people are less willing to play a lot of hands at high levels simply because when you play a lot of hands, you lose a lot of hands. So if you're at a high level, you stand to lose more. And because at the higher levels people tend to be better at the game (not always true, but in general), they are aware that you should play fewer hands, this becomes a big part of their game. Think about it, if you stand the chance of losing $1,000, it only makes sense that you will be a bit more cautious than if you will only lose $1. Tight play at the high levels is a preservation technique.
But you know this, and you can use it to help you win more money. If people are playing fewer hands, it doesn't mean that they are getting worse hands. You will be dealt the same hands, on average, at the high levels that you will see at the low levels. There's only 52 cards in a deck, regardless of where you are playing. So if you're opponents are not playing enough hands, you can play a few more to capitalize on this. And if they are playing too many hands, you can play less to compensate. This is simple psychology that applies to the game regardless of whether you are playing online or at a brick and mortar casino. Only the very best players know this, though, and only those ones will be playing in this manner consciously. Therefore, you can safely play like this and reap the benefits most of the time.

This work is a part of the project "context- aware cardiac long-term monitoring (CALM)" of the Institute for information processing technology of the University of Karlsruhe. The aim of our research is the development of a system to help on the prevention of cardiovascular illnesses by continuous telemonitoring of patients. Therefore, the system should enable patient-friendly measurements of blood- pressure and electrocardiogram (ECG). Furthermore, it should allow an objective evaluation of the patient's physiological parameters taking into consideration context information. When evaluating cardiovascular parameters, the most important context information is physical activity. For obtaining the activity or movements of a patient, the authors propose a system based on acceleration sensors and adaptive neuro- fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) for pattern classification. Using this method, an online self-constructing activity recognition system has been developed and its results are shown.


A 3-story building with 200 years of history, is ideal to continue running as the current business or transform into a boutique hotel or even separate it into 2 different houses. It's a fantastic opportunity to invest because of its price and potential. The house has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, a terrace overlooking the rooftops of the city and a basement that can be transformed into another large room. The property can be sold separately as a restaurant and a house given that they are two different plots.


Description: The Havoc Marauder was the personal starship of Clone Force 99, also known as the "Bad Batch". The craft was unique compared to other Grand Army of the Republic starships, so it was used for the Bad Batch's covert and undercover missions throughout the Clone Wars. It had nose art depicting Naboo senator Padmé Amidala in a provocative fashion with the subtitle, "Good to be Bad".

His music a cross between '70s-style light rock and orchestrated pop, Steven Curtis Chapman is one of the most prominent performers of contemporary Christian music. His second album, 1988's Real Life Conversations, spawned four hits, including the number one song "His Eyes." His third album, 1989's More to This Life, contained four number ones and earned him an unprecedented ten GMA nominations. His follow-up, 1990's For the Sake of the Call, contained five number ones and earned him another slew of GMA awards and his first Grammy in the Best Pop Gospel Album category, strengthening his position as the king of Christian music.
Grammy award-winning Christian artist Steven Curtis Chapman shares a live performance of 'I Will Be Here' from Gaither Studios. This song was originally released in 1989 and it soon became a popular love story for weddings and ceremonies. "I will be here when you feel like being quiet When you need to speak your mind, I will listen and I will be here when the laughter turns to cryin' Through the winning, losing and tryin' We'll be together 'cause I will be here" When speaking to CBN, Steven had fond memories of the single and it's connection with fans. "I think a song like "I Will Be Here" has connected with so many people because those committed to be in a relationship particularly marriage say "Yeah, there are mornings when you wake up when you don't really feel anything or you feel afraid. The sun doesn't appear and it's a dark day." To hear someone say I will be here for you in those times where you don't wanna say anything, when you're quiet, when you're mad, when you're happy, when it's hard, no more crying, no more laughing, you know, I think that's probably just the honesty factor that has connected that song with a lot of people." The touching song resonates with so many hearts all over the world and it continues to be a fan-favorite to hear live. Today, Steven is performing 'I Will Be Here' at the Gaither Studios and it's just as beautiful today as it was back in 1989. Who else remembers hearing this one for the first time?

Tim Blake Nelson, playing Delmar O'Donnell in the movie (one of the Soggy Bottom Boys), sang the lead vocal himself for the song "In the Jailhouse Now" which was originally recorded (in real life) by Jimmie Rogers (In the Jailhouse Now).
The fact that the Soggy Bottom Boys are a fictitious group from the movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?", doesn't make their hit single "Man of Constant Sorrow" any less amazing, winning the real-life Soggy Bottom Boys (Dan Tyminski, Harley Allen, and Pat Enright, not otherwise affiliated) a CMA Award for Single of the Year and a Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals.
Jordan Rivers and the Soggy Bottom Boys are the fictitious Depression-era "old-timey music" quartet and accompaniment from the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou? The name Soggy Bottom Boys is possibly a reference to the famous Foggy Mountain Boys, a West Virginia bluegrass band of the 1940s with Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, but also a humorous name given the two backup singers who were wet from being baptized earlier in the film.
After the film's release, the fictional band became so popular that the actual talents behind the music (who were dubbed into the movie) Ralph Stanley, John Hartford, Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris, Gillian Welch, Dan Tyminski, Chris Sharp, and others, performed music from O Brother, Where Art Thou? in a Down From The Mountain concert tour and film. However, "I'll Fly Away" in the original soundtrack is performed not by Krauss and Welch (as it is on the CD release and was on the concert tour) but by the inimitable Kossoy Sisters with Erik Darling (of The Weavers, Tarriers and Rooftop Singers) accompanying on long-neck 5-string banjo.
"Man of Constant Sorrow" has five variations: two are used in the movie, one in the music video, and two in the soundtrack. Two of the variations feature the verses being sung back-to-back, and the other three variations feature additional music between each verse. Despite its subsequent success, "Man of Constant Sorrow" received little significant radio airplay and only charted at #35 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts in 2002.

The movie was in color and I have a guess it was released in the 90s due to the visual effects but that is just a guess. To my memory there are red/orange dragonfly like ships kind of like personal helicopters. I believe there was around some alien species infecting humans as the lead actor at some point goes to a stadium and releases some monster worms (kind of like tremors) to destroy the place.

List of coronavirus exposure places, dates related to Oakland Co. patients
OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. (FOX 2) - The Oakland County Health Division has released exposure locations and dates connected to its three cases in the county. Continue scrolling to see the list
Late Thursday night, The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services announced the total number of positive cases in Michigan has reached 12. Two of those 10 new cases were in Oakland County, both in adult men. One has no known travel history and the other has a history of domestic travel.
During a press conference on Friday, the Oakland County Health Division says it will only be having essential personnel in the building, effective Monday, March 16. The county is urging anyone who needs to do business with the county to do so online wherever possible and is urging people not to go in person to handle work.
The county also said it is looking at waiving fees and delaying tax payments, where possible, but nothing has been set up as of 11 a.m. Friday.
Oakland County Treasurer Andy Meisner said the county would halt foreclosures.
"My pledge today is that no one in Oakland County will lose their property to tax foreclosure because of circumstances stemming from the Coronavirus public health emergency," said Meisner. "I want everyone in Oakland County to focus their attention on staying healthy and preventing the spread of the virus, not on whether or not they could lose their property. The Treasurer's Office has your back."
Oakland County is urging people to heed the state's advice of avoiding large groups of people. The county said it would be ready to enforce this, if necessary, but advised they don't plan to "fill their jails with people wanting to visit grandma".
Thursday night, Oakland County released a list of locations, dates and times related to the patients confirmed to have COVID-19. These are the first exposure details that have been released from authorities regarding any patients in Michigan.
Out of an abundance of caution, anyone that was present at the following locations on the dates and times listed below should be alert for symptoms of COVID-19. Symptoms include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. If any develop, stay at home and promptly call a healthcare provider or hospital prior to arriving so that the appropriate preventive measures can be put in place.

The Trump administration and House Republicans suffered a stunning setback Monday night in the failure of a floor vote on a controversial bill to extend the VA's Choice program allowing veterans to choose private health care.
The vote on the House floor was 219-186 in favor, but the emergency funding bill still failed under the two-thirds majority vote required under the rules that brought the legislation to the floor.
The failure to pass the bill left the future of the Choice program in doubt. Funding for the program was expected to run out in mid-August and House Republicans had counted on moving the bill to the Senate for quick passage this week before going on August recess.
Earlier, Rep. Phil Roe, R-Tenn., chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee and the main sponsor of the bill, said "We know that veteran demand for care through Choice has never been higher and consequently the remaining money in the veterans Choice program will run out in mid-August, a few short weeks from now," he said.
"We cannot allow that to happen," Roe said, but he did not immediately offer a plan to revive the measure in the House. Thousands of veterans reportedly have had referrals to private care held up as Congress debated an extension of Choice, and thousands more would lose eligibility for referrals without an extension and renewed funding for Choice.
The House began moving toward a vote Monday afternoon on the controversial Choice extension bill that was opposed by several veterans service organizations (VSOs).
In the floor debate, Roe sought to allay the concerns of the VSOs that the proposed legislation was a smokescreen for efforts to privatize VA health care.
"I fail to see the logic" of the VSOs in arguing against an extension of the program that allows veterans who live more than 40 miles from a VA facility or who have to wait more than 30 days for an appointment to become eligible for private or community care, Roe said.
"I think it's critical to get this done," he said of the extension of Choice through February to give Congress time to work on reforms demanded by the VSOs.
"We're very aligned on the goals here," said Rep. Tim Walz, D-Minn., the ranking member on HVAC, despite "opposition rarely seen from the VSOs" to the Eliminating the Sunset Date of the Choice Act legislation.
He urged House members to "get this thing passed and end this ridiculous argument on privatization versus non-privatization."
Walz said there would be ample time to debate the merits of Choice once the extension was passed, but he was having difficulty holding Democrats on HVAC in line.
Rep. Mark Takano, D-Calif., said "it's time for us to recognize that private care is not the panacea. The VA Choice program has failed to deliver on the promise of shorter wait times. I urge my colleagues to reject this legislation."
Brian Duffy, national commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, said at the opening of the VFW's national convention in New Orleans that the extension bill went against one of President Donald Trump's pledges to veterans.
Duffy said Trump promised the VFW last year that the "VA would remain a public system, because it is a public trust." He urged VFW members at the convention to call their representatives immediately and urge them to vote "No" on the extension.
Ahead of the vote, VA Secretary Dr. David Shulkin made an appeal for an extension and reform of the Choice program that would preserve the VA's role as the primary health care provider and avoid over-reliance on private and community care that would weaken the system.
He said "fears of privatization are simply unfounded. President Trump is dedicated to maintaining a strong VA, and we will not allow VA to be privatized on our watch," Shulkin said in an op-ed for USA Today.
"What we do want is a VA system that is even stronger and better than it is today. To achieve that goal, VA needs a strong and robust community care program," Shulkin said.
He added that "veterans deserve the best. If a VA facility isn't meeting the community standard for care, doesn't offer a specific service, or doesn't have an appointment available when it's needed, veterans should have access to care in their community."
Over the weekend, several VSOs in a joint statement said, "All of our organizations are committed to building a future veterans health care system that modernizes VA and integrates community care whenever needed so that enrolled veterans have seamless access to timely, quality care."
"However, if new funding is directed only or primarily to private sector 'Choice' care without any adequate investment to modernize VA, the viability of the entire system will soon be in danger," the statement said.
The document was endorsed by the VFW, AMVETS, Disabled American Veterans, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, Military Officers Association of America, Military Order of the Purple Heart, Vietnam Veterans of America and Wounded Warrior Project.
The $10 billion Choice program was enacted in 2014 to address the wait times scandals that emerged from the crisis at the Phoenix VA hospital. The program was due to sunset in fiscal 2018 but its popularity has exhausted the funding that was expected to run out in mid-August, according to the VA.

On 12 December, a draft legislative proposal ("proposal") was published containing a special regulation on franchise agreements. Until now, there have been no special regulations regarding franchise agreements. The Explanatory Memorandum mentions that franchisees believe that franchisors have a more dominant position within their relationship. According to franchisees, this causes unreasonable and undesirable situations. The Dutch Franchise Code, a means of self-regulation, has allegedly not solved the problems experienced by franchisees. As a result, the legislator now aims to create a more balanced relationship between franchisors and franchisees. The draft proposal is available on the internet for public consultation until 31 January 2019.
The legislator has stressed how important franchises are for the Dutch economy: at present, there are approximately 800 active franchise formulas with over 30,000 branches in the Netherlands. Moreover, 300,000 people are employed within franchise enterprises. These enterprises generate a total revenue of EUR 30 billion every year. Franchise formulas are used in many different sectors, in various forms. The proposal applies to all franchises involving an agreement that is defined as a franchise agreement under Dutch law.
According to this principle, the franchisor and the franchisee will have to treat each other reasonably and with care before concluding the agreement as well as during its performance. The franchisor must take into account not only the interests of the chain as a whole, but also the individual interests of the franchisee. For instance, the franchisor needs to verify whether the potential franchisee has sufficient entrepreneurial skills.
The franchisor and the franchisee have to provide each other with all information that may be reasonably regarded as relevant for the opposing party with regard to the conclusion and performance of the agreement, such as financial information. All relevant information should be made available well before concluding the agreement. In order to make sure that the franchisee has enough time to make a well-informed decision, the franchisor has to send the draft agreement to the franchisee four weeks before concluding the agreement. In the meantime, if the franchisor wishes to alter the draft agreement to the detriment of the franchisee, this will trigger a further period of four weeks , starting from the day on which the franchisee is notified of the changes. After conclusion of the agreement, the franchisor has to give the franchisee reasonable notice of mid-term changes to the agreement or its actual performance.
The contractual obligations regarding the quantity of goods or services that the franchisee purchases from the franchisor may not be more far-reaching than what is common in usual commercial transactions. The same goes for the price. The price may contain a mark-up, but any increase must be reasonable.
The proposal limits (i) the duration of these clauses to one year after termination of the agreement and (ii) the geographical scope of the area within which the franchisee operates the franchise formula.
The agreement must contain a provision that stipulates how goodwill will be reimbursed, to the extent that it may be reasonably allocated to the franchisee. Also, it has to include a method of assessing goodwill and how it should be valued. If the clauses with regard to goodwill do not contain such information, (this part of) the agreement will be voidable.
If the franchisor aims to make alterations to the agreement that have a substantial impact on the position of the franchisee, he will first need permission from the franchisee. The legislator recommends defining in the agreement what the parties consider 'substantial'. If the franchise formula has many franchisees, it may be useful for the franchisor to organise a representative body that can give permission for alterations on behalf of all franchisees. This enables him, for example, to respond quickly to market changes.
The intention of the government administration to create additional legislation to enhance the position of franchisees in the pre-contractual phase, as laid down in the coalition agreement [regeerakkoord], is given substance by this draft legislative proposal. However, this proposal seems more far-reaching than intended, given that this special regulation on the relationship between franchisor and franchisee would also concern the performance of the agreement.


A new study finds that large, charismatic species get the majority of research into felid and canid species, possibly at the expense of others.
Do the species most in need of conservation also receive the most scientific research?
To answer that question, a new study examined the past five years' worth of research into felids and canids — better known as wild felines and canines — and found some interesting patterns, as well as some notable omissions.
Of 4,351 published studies of the felid and canid families, 359 were devoted to tigers (Panthera tigris), and 579 examined gray wolves (Canis lupus). That's more than 21 percent of all felid and canid studies focused on just two species.
On the other side of the spectrum, some species were rarely, if ever, studied. The rusty-spotted cat (Prionailurus rubiginosus) received just one study between 2013 and 2017, while no published studies examined the short-eared dog (Atelocynus microtis) or side-striped jackal (Canis adustus).
The results indicate a potential research bias toward large, charismatic predators that sit at the top of the food chain, at the expense of their smaller, less dynamic relatives.
Beyond simple counts by species, other potential biases emerged: Studies of felids mainly focused on conservation and wildlife management, while canid research tended to address diseases and other health issues.
The study, published in the journal Global Ecology and Conservation, was conducted by Laura Tensen, a postdoctoral research fellow in wildlife genetics at the University of Johannesburg. Tensen's own research focuses on lions, leopard and African wild dogs, so she went into the study concerned about her own approaches. "The species that I have studied are in fact charismatic, which was part of the reason I wrote this article — perhaps to self-reflect my own research bias," she says.
Two other observations inspired the paper: Tensen had found a lack of scientific information on some species, while others had a number of seemingly repetitive studies. "I noticed a lot of redundancy in science, where certain topics have been studied repeatedly," she says. For example, her paper found that most conservation studies focused on population estimates and human-wildlife conflict, while only 1 percent of all studies tackled climate change or the illegal wildlife trade.
Crunching the numbers didn't result in any real surprises — Tensen cites earlier studies that came to similar conclusions — but she hopes putting the results into clear statistics and graphs will have an impact on how future research is conducted. Researchers might, for example, decide to focus their work on species that are understudied, taxonomically unique, endangered, or which live in small geographic ranges.
Toward that point, Luke Hunter, chief conservation officer at Panthera, the global wild cat conservation organization, says the main value of Tensen's paper is that it illustrates which species are not getting studied, notably small carnivores such as the rusty-spotted cat.
Meanwhile, researchers aren't the only ones with biases. I asked Tensen if I should feel guilty knowing that The Revelator's own home page frequent features charismatic species such as wolves and tigers.

Q: How to remove selected windows10 updates? in Windows 10,
1) How can you know/search if a specific update package is installed on your system (i am talking about these update files named like KB123456...)?
2) And if one is possible, how can you select and completely de-install/remove a specific update package?
3) Can you even do that in the process of a Clean Install (when using Microsoft's official ISO file), removing your desired updates from the ISO installer file, so that you are installing it directly without them?
4) Is there any update package that you may know of which has "bugs" and should be avoided to install?
Thanks

Any update installed for specific version of Windows 10 will appear in the Windows Update history.  Once a feature update is installed, updates for the previous version are no longer applicable, so the update history is wiped.

And if one is possible, how can you select and completely de-install/remove a specific update package?

Some updates become require for numerous reasons and cannot be installed.  If an update can be uninstalled the option to uninstall that update will be offered from within Windows Update and Add/Remove Programs.

Can you even do that in the process of a Clean Install (when using Microsoft's official ISO file), removing your desired updates from the ISO installer file, so that you are installing it directly without them?

Performing an update on the installation files is an optional step.  However, it is not recommended to skip any update, you should keep your system updated whenever possible.  It is not enough to be running the current cumulative update to a specific version of Windows 10, you need to make sure, you are running a supported version of Windows 10.  You will typically be warned if you are using a version of Windows 10 that is no longer supported.

Is there any update package that you may know of which has "bugs" and should be avoided to install?

Microsoft documents all verified issue for all versions of Windows 10 here

A: For 1. Open Start, Settings, Update and then View Update History. This will show you what has been installed.  Start, Settings, About will show you what version you have installed.
For 2. Get wushowhide.diagcab from Microsoft Downloads and use that to hide specific updates.  I have not needed this in some years (Printer updates were an issue 3 or 4 years ago but not recently)
For 3.  No not really. A clean install will install everything. You need to uninstall and hide updates you do not want.
For 4. I do not know of any updates that should be avoided. We try to keep all client machines current and up to date and there is nothing right now that should be avoided. Microsoft has cleared up most issues and is lengthening the time between feature upgrades. Version 1909 is now in fairly wide adoption and it came out less than 90 days ag.

Q: isolating what is causing NotificationService "In a future release this will crash the app" messages in logcat Since updating to Android N, I am now seeing the following message sometimes occurring in logcat:
NotificationService: WARNING: In a future release this will crash the app: ...

I have tried putting debug statements to isolate what I am doing that is causing this, but so far have been unsuccessful.  In addition, the message does not reliably reproduce under the original conditions in which it was observed.
In looking at the changes in Android 7.0, I don't see anything that appears to be applicable to this situation.
How can I determine what is causing the message?

Lindgren had a pretty good game for HPK, playing in all situations and logging over 21 minutes of ice-time. The right-handed defenseman made some great passes by using the middle of the ice to move the puck quickly and create offense from the backend. Other positives were his good mobility and lateral agility. On the downside, I thought he that he lacked great top speed and acceleration. This was particularly evident when he attempted to carry the puck up the ice. He played a bit cautiously with the puck at times, not looking overly confident. In addition, I would have liked to see better gap control and more aggressiveness in board battles. He used his stick well a couple of times in his own zone but was stagnant certain times. Lindgren is certainly talented with the puck, but looked raw in some aspects of the game.

Stockar McDougle (born January 11, 1977) is a former American football offensive lineman. He was originally drafted by the Detroit Lions 20th overall in the 2000 NFL Draft. He played college football at Oklahoma.
McDougle was born in Pompano Beach, Florida. He was in the top prep offensive linemen in the nation when graduated from Deerfield Beach High School in 1996. He was named a JUCO All-American in 1996 and 1997 at Navarro Junior College before transferring to the University of Oklahoma in 1998.
The Detroit Lions selected McDougle 20th in the first round of the 2000 NFL Draft. Debuting in Week 10 (November 5, 2000) against the Atlanta Falcons, McDougle started all eight games he played as a rookie. McDougle started 3 of 9 games in 2001 and 11 of 12 games in 2002. In 2003 and 2004, McDougle played full 16-game seasons as a right tackle and started every game. The Lions allowed a franchise-record low 11 sacks in 2003 followed by 37 in 2004. Also in 2004, McDougle helped rookie running back Kevin Jones rush for 1,133 yards, the fifth-most in the NFC that season.
On March 15, 2005, McDougle signed with the Miami Dolphins. With the Dolphins, McDougle played nine games and started two.
One year to the day he signed with the Dolphins, McDougle signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars on March 15, 2006. McDougle played in 11 games in 2006 with no starts. The Jaguars placed McDougle on injured reserve on August 18, 2007 for a ruptured Achilles tendon. McDougle sat out the entire 2007 season.
McDougle is the older brother of defensive end Jerome McDougle and has two cousins who played in the NFL: safety Tyrone Carter and defensive tackle Tommie Harris. McDougle is married and has five children.
McDougle was arrested for battery on December 28, 2007 after assaulting the owner of a landscaping company over a debt dispute.

The 1999 Oklahoma Sooners football team represented the University of Oklahoma in the 1999 NCAA Division I-A football season, the 105th season of Sooner football. The team was led by first-year head coach Bob Stoops. They played their home games at Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman, Oklahoma. They were a charter member of the Big 12 conference.
Conference play began with a win over the Baylor Bears at home on September 18, and ended at home with a win over the Oklahoma State Cowboys in the annual Bedlam Series on November 27. The Sooners finished the regular season 7–4 (5–3 in Big 12), tied with Texas A&M for second in the Big 12 South. They were invited to the Independence Bowl, where they lost to the Ole Miss Rebels, 27-25.
Following the season, Stockar McDougle was selected 20th overall in the 2000 NFL Draft, along with William Bartee in the second round.
The 2000 Detroit Lions season was the team's 71st season in the National Football League. Coming off of a Wildcard playoff appearance with an 8–8 record in 1999, the Lions improved to finish 9–7, but missed the playoffs thanks to a Christmas Eve home loss to the 4-11 Chicago Bears.
This would be the Lions' sixth winning season, and seventh season at .500 or better, in 10 years -- capping one of the best decades in the franchise's history. It was also the franchise's last winning season until 2011.
The Lions' home attendance was 606,716 while their attendance on the road was 523,383 for a total attendance of 1,130,099. Bobby Ross resigned after the ninth game of the season and was replaced by Gary Moeller.
The 2003 Detroit Lions season was the 74th season in franchise history.
Prior to the season, the Lions hired Steve Mariucci, who was well known for his tenure with the San Francisco 49ers, as their head coach. He spent two and a half seasons with the Lions until his firing in November 2005.
The season saw the team draft Charles Rogers with the second overall pick in the 2003 NFL Draft. However, on-and-off the field issues, and later injuries, interrupted his career. He was released by the Lions in 2006, and immediately went out of the NFL. Much like quarterback Ryan Leaf, Rogers remains one of the biggest draft busts in the contemporary NFL.
The 2005 Miami Dolphins season was the franchise's 40th overall, the 36th as a member of the National Football League. The Dolphins managed to improve upon their previous season's output of 4–12, posting a winning record of 9–7. They finished the season on a six-game win streak and ended their season with an upset over the defending back-to-back Super Bowl champion New England Patriots, the Dolphins' second straight year beating them as defending champions.

Jerome McDougle (born December 15, 1978 in Pompano Beach, Florida) is a former American football defensive end. He was drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles 15th overall in the 2003 NFL Draft. McDougle played college football at the University of Miami. He has also played for the New York Giants.
The Detroit Lions are a professional American football team based in Detroit, Michigan. They are members of the North Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL), and play their home games at Ford Field in Downtown Detroit.
Originally based in Portsmouth, Ohio and called the Portsmouth Spartans, the team began play in 1929 as an independent professional team, one of many such teams in the Ohio and Scioto River valleys. For the 1930 season, the Spartans formally joined the NFL as the other area independents folded because of the Great Depression. Despite success within the NFL, they could not survive in Portsmouth, then the NFL's smallest city. The team was purchased and moved to Detroit for the 1934 season.
The Lions have won four NFL Championships, tied for 9th overall in total championships amongst all 32 NFL franchises; although the last was in 1957, which gives the club the second-longest NFL championship drought behind the Arizona Cardinals. They are one of four current teams to have never played in the Super Bowl.

I have tried like: progressDialog in AsyncTask
But the results have always failed. I am very new to learn java.

A: it probably didnt appear because the data got done before the dialog had time to get created so you canceled the dialog before it even appeared. to test this dont cancel the dialog when processing is done and just let it go. if the dialg appears then that is your problem


It's pretty easy to just sit on one's mountain of cash, as worldwide nonfinancial corporations have done for the past few years. Putting that cash to work for the organization, however, is a bit trickier. For most corporate treasurers the oceans of money they hold—$1.9 trillion in corporate America and $2.3 trillion in corporate eurozone, according to a US Treasury strategy consultant—can be a challenge, especially now that negative interest rates transform inactive assets into hot potatoes.
There is no right or wrong way to sit on your cash: Different economic conditions or changes in legislation can call for different solutions. More important, different businesses demand different approaches. To see what this means in practical terms, we looked at how treasury is managed by three different entities: a cash-pooling manufacturer, a well-off foodmaker and a tech-savvy Silicon Valley firm. The conclusion? Corporate treasurers cannot give up exploring new models.
Giovanni Zancan, Prysmian: Cash-pooling benefits include negotiating from a position of strength.
Prysmian, the world's largest cable producer, operates in nearly 50 countries and manufactures in some 30. Since 2006, Prysmian has managed intragroup cash with a pooling structure. Every night, Prysmian Treasury, which acts as an in-house bank, collects the cash held and repays the overdraft due for each one of its units via its Citigroup account. The system provides cash updates weekly. Each unit hedges its currency position with Prysmian Treasury, which acts as a clearing house and hedges the net positions on the market. Prysmian Treasury, which had a 2015 turnover of around €1.5 billion ($1.7 billion), also hedges its own currency positions to cover transaction risks.
However, cash pooling is not always possible. In several countries where Prysmian operates, it is forbidden to export capital abroad or the cost of doing so is prohibitive. In such countries—which include Brazil, Argentina, Turkey and China but also smaller entities such as the Ivory Cost or Tunisia—cash-pooling Prysmian has a separate structure in place to manage the funding and the assets in cash independently. Currency exchange hedging is also done on a case-by-case basis, but Prysmian acts as a clearinghouse-plus, covering its own positions.
Out of a total of 50 countries in which Prysmian operates, some 39 are part of the cash pool; another 11 are outside it. The 11 represent less than 20% of the group's sales, but hold half of the group's cash—around €330 million at the end of March.
Guillermo Gualino, Agilent: It's important to be nimble and keep things simple.
But it wasn't always like this. Agilent's current status is the result of deep changes implemented in the past two years, after the 2013 spin-off of Agilent and Keysight Technologies. The spin-off practically cut the group in half, with Keysight holding the measurement activity and Agilent providing laboratories worldwide with instruments, services, consumables applications and expertise in life science, diagnostics and applied chemical markets. It became a simpler business.
"After the spin-off, our infrastructure was by far too complex for our new reality," Gualino explains. This prompted a review of all operations, which included discussions between Treasury and its internal customers, such as accounts payable (AP) and accounts receivable (AR). "This is important because treasury has different needs and points of view from theirs, and we wanted them to be onboard with the changes," Gualino says.
Technology helped. For example, the company ended up combining some AP and AR accounts and using ISO XML, a technology that helps streamline the communication associated with each payment. Introducing ISO XML allowed AP and AR to implement changes and have fewer banking accounts without additional manual work.
The overhaul concluded with reduction of between 40% and 60% in the costs and time spent in operation.
Sascha Petrusev, Deutsche Bank: Companies have to rethink idle balances in some currencies.
Meanwhile, some companies need neither cash pooling nor an in-house bank. Campbell Soup, for example, used to do cash pooling in Europe through Bank of America and had an in-house bank based in Belgium. The soupmaker closed both operations a few years ago, according to Ashok Madhavan, Campbell's treasurer.
Since the sale of European operations in 2013, the company has had just one unit operating in Europe. "[It] would not make any sense to have cash pooling there now," says Madhavan. He stresses that cash pooling structures work well in common currency areas but less so in regions, such as Asia and Latin America, that may have significant currency regulations.
Campbell had total cash in excess of $200 million in April 2016, most of which is still being held outside the US, mainly in Australia and in Canada. Madhavan seeks good quality investments that emphasize principal protection rather than achieving the highest yields.
Having plenty of cash is a wonderful thing. It can provide funds for opportunistic investments or immediate needs. However, with interest rates going so low they're underwater, it's not prudent to sit on cash and wait for an opportunity (or need) to fall from the sky.
According to Deutsche's Petrusev, there is no time to spare. As the regulatory landscape continues to evolve, "treasurers need to remain actively engaged with their internal and external infrastructure functions, industry peers and bank providers to understand the impacts and ensure continued compliance with potential changes in regulations, such as the OECD Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) action plan and US Treasury Department regulations under IRS code section 385," Petrusev says, in reference to recent proposals that might affect certain cash-pooling structures.
