Q: Remove CSS & JS from  I've been with this problem for a couple of days and the truth is that I can not find a solution. I have added code manually in wp-header.php and now I need to delete these lines that it generates automatically
The lines I want to eliminate are:
<link rel="stylesheet" id="create-css" href="http://www.myweb.com/wp-content/themes/movil/create.css?ver=4.9.8" type="text/css" media="all" data-inprogress="">

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.myweb.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery-migrate.min.js?ver=1.4.1"></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.myweb.com/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.12.4"></script>

thaks!!

A: Sounds like some filter is placing the create.css file there. Check your functions.php (or search for the following function inside the theme with your text editor in case some other file is enqueueing those assets) for wp_enqueue_style and see if you have that file enqueued.
Other way of doing this is using the filter wp_head, so, you might have something like this in your functions.php or maybe elsewhere in your theme:
add_action( 'wp_head', 'my_callback_function');

my_callback_function() { ?>
       <link rel="stylesheet" id="create-css" href="http://www.myweb.com/wp-content/themes/movil/create.css?ver=4.9.8" type="text/css" media="all" data-inprogress="">
<?php
}

If you want to delete the code above you can, but instead of manually placing the tag, you should use something like the code below, again, in your functions.php:
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_callback_function');

function my_callback_function() {
    wp_enqueue_style('create-style', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/create.css');
}

The script tags you are seeing in your website normally come from the WordPress core, so you won't have to delete them, placing them again, or do anything, WordPress handles that for you and it will use http or https depending on your configuration.
The possibility exists that someone overwrote the enqueueing of the scripts (if http doesn't change automatically to https when you configure https in your website, then something is not right) to use something different to what the WordPress core gives you, in which case you should search and see if somewhere in your theme the filter wp_head or the function wp_enqueue_script is being used to put those files there.

A: It sounds like you should backup your site first.  Then go in to the editor under appearance, and find the file your looking for.  Its usually under appearance on the dashboard.
Appearance > Editor
Then you can delete the files in question.
If they are styles and scripts, deleting them may break certain functions, or make your site look odd.
If you are hosting the stylesheets and scripts on your website, and you have converted all other links on the website, you should probably just add an "s" into the http:// protocol, changing it to https://

I am not an extroverted people's person, so every now and then when I realize where I am, it comes as a surprise that I am actually living this life. As a destination wedding photographer, you get to witness people's most intimate moments and they're actually letting you enter their sphere of privacy. How amazing it that?
The reason I am typing this is that I'd love all our clients to know that we are very much aware of what that means. That we're honored every time we enter the room on a wedding, simply to be allowed in.
An other thing I feel the need to type is how thankful we are. Looking back on how we started out, knowing nothing, knowing no one, but with just a huge will and love for the job. We owe it to our astounding clients.
So this year our job took us to Katja & Marco's Italy wedding. A stunning location, family and friends, love, laughter, happy tears, good food and wine – is what tells this story. Thank you, grazie di tutto Katja e Marco.


I can source and sell any business vehicle or company car.
I can also provide consultancy support – let me review your current commercial vehicle contracts to make sure you're getting the best deal. There are a number of tax savings to be had, especially around benefit-in-kind (BIK) for hybrid and electric cars.
You've got nothing to lose from asking me how I might be able to help.

ABOVE: A mini-convoy of Segway scooters near the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Be footloose in Paris, without getting footsore. That could be the motto of City Segway Tours, which brings a high-tech twist to urban sightseeing.
City Segway Tours has a fleet of Segway Human Transporters, more commonly known as "Segway scooters." These state-of-the-art electric two-wheelers use onboard computers, gyroscopes, and tilt sensors to maintain balance as you roll through Paris on sidewalks and park paths.
Daytime tours are available year-round, with night tours from April through October. Each tour lasts about four hours. After a 30-minute orientation, you and your Segway will glide past the Eiffel Tower, Napoleon's Tomb, the Invalides, the Louvre, the Arc de Triomphe, the Place de la Concorde, and other Parisian landmarks.
You can book Segway tours through Viator, our booking partner for European sightseeing tours and day trips. Pricing is in euros, British pounds, U.S. dollars, or Australian dollars.
It's a good idea to book early, especially on weekends, during holiday periods, or in high season.
Tour participants must be at least 12 years old, and a waiver or adult companion is required for riders under 18.
In our experience, riding a Segway scooter is tricker than it looks, and the concentration needed to avoid running over pedestrians can be a distraction from sightseeing. You'll be more satisfied with the tour if you think of it as an adventure, and as a chance to try out a Segway under an instructor's supervision.
Use this link to prebook Segway and other tours in euros, British pounds, U.S. dollars, or Australian dollars.

The solution is to add after -o username=X,password=Y the following: sec=ntlm; thus it becomes -o username=X,password=Y,sec=ntlm.
No idea why it's suddenly required, but whatevs.
ntlm used to be the default which is why you never had to specify it. Things moved on however, so the default is now ntlmssp. If you are accessing something which doesn't use ntlmssp you have to override the new default with the old one.
Most NAS devices use older technology so they often require ntlm. If you access an OSX or Linux samba share it requires ntlmssp – so before you had to specify that in the mount options but now you don't.
Cheers for clearing that up !


The equivalent of a bale of hay – it will provide the forage requirements of an average 500kg horse for 3 days.
Does HorseHage have a higher feed value than hay?
Yes, as it retains 90% of the value of fresh grass, and has consistent feed values, whereas hay loses much of its value in the drying process and is much more variable. HorseHage is also more digestible.
Does that mean you feed less HorseHage than hay?
No. Generally speaking you should feed the same quantity by weight as you would hay, but reduce the quantity of hard feed by up to a third.
HorseHage is too rich for my Horse.
This is a common misconception. Because we can state and guarantee the levels of nutrients, and it is available in several different types, HorseHage can be used as the basis for all feeds, rather than just being fed to fulfil the fibre needs, as so much hay often is. Problems will only arise if too much hard feed or the wrong type of HorseHage is given. Most people do not know the nutritional value of their hay, and need to give hard feed to make up for deficiencies. You can select the right type of HorseHage for your situation. Many horses and ponies in little or no work do very well on just HorseHage with a good quality vitamin/mineral supplement.
I would like to use HorseHage, but it is just too expensive.
Another common myth. As HorseHage is so much more nutritious than hay, it can be used to supply other nutrients, so hard feed can be reduced. It is usually no more expensive to use a ration based on HorseHage than one based on hay, and can often be less expensive, especially when you consider what some people are paying for hay. A further consideration is the convenience and ease of use, as well as the fact that there is no wastage, and every bale of HorseHage is guaranteed. Hay soon becomes expensive when you have to throw bad bales away, or rent storage space to keep it in.
Will my horse eat HorseHage more quickly than hay and become bored?
Some horses will initially eat HorseHage more quickly because it is so palatable and moist, and for this reason we recommend a special small mesh HorseHage net. However, research shows that after about 2 weeks, most horses revert to their original speed of eating.
Why should I feed HorseHage rather than soaking hay?
Because soaking hay reduces its nutritional value even further, as up to 70% of water- soluble carbohydrates and 20% of protein is lost. Plus, soaking does not remove, only dampens the dust and spores, so as the hay dries in the net, it will revert to being just as harmful. Many horses also find soaked hay unpalatable, so eat it more slowly, adding to the drying out problem. With HorseHage there is not the problem of the smell and disposal of the water used to soak hay, which has a similar composition to raw sewage, not to mention the problems of water freezing in the winter.
If I had a horse with a respiratory problem, I would feed HorseHage, but my horse is OK, so I don't need it do I?
All horses benefit from being fed HorseHage rather than hay, due to its nutrient content and dust-free nature. It has been shown that an environment with dust and mould present is harmful to horses and humans, so why wait until you have a problem? Respiratory disease is a cumulative problem – all horses are born with healthy lungs!
My HorseHage seems to have some sort of yellowy-white mould on it – is it safe to use?
If it is powdery, and can be brushed off, it is a harmless yeast – in fact some companies now sell yeast to feed to horses. However, if in doubt, or if the texture is that of cotton wool or any colour other than white, contact your stockist for further advice. (Occasionally mould grows in a bag that has been punctured).
How long does a bag of HorseHage keep?
Can HorseHage be fed to horses and ponies prone to laminitis?
A common cause of laminitis is too much sugar in the grass in spring and autumn, and grazing should be restricted at these times of year. High Fibre HorseHage can safely be fed at controlled levels to maintain fibre levels and keep the gut moving at these times. An additional vitamin/mineral supplement should be fed, and starchy or high sugar feeds removed from the diet. On no account should the animal be starved, as this can lead to further problems.
HorseHage will give my pony laminitis because it is too high in sugar isn't it?
When HorseHage ferments it uses up all the soluble sugars, leaving the end product containing less than 5% sugar, which is a lot lower than virtually any hay, so High Fibre and Timothy HorseHage are a more positive step to managing horses and ponies prone to laminitis than hay.
My pony is too fat, should I cut down on the HorseHage?
If not already using it, switch to High Fibre HorseHage, and reduce the other components of the diet. Check that you are feeding the correct amount overall, and use a vitamin/mineral supplement.
If HorseHage is more digestible than hay, will my horse get more from it and will it predispose it to Azoturia (tying-up)?
The balance of fibre and energy is important, and the energy in the hard feed should be reduced to make up for the energy that HorseHage provides, so that the fibre levels are still maintained. In this way, the energy levels in the overall diet will not increase, and the horse will be at no increased risk.
How quickly can I change from hay to HorseHage?
We would recommend that you change over at least a 4 to 5 day period to allow the gut microflora time to adjust.
I have a thin, "fizzy" horse, whose temperament gets worse if I increase the hard feed to put weight on. Can HorseHage help in this case?
As HorseHage is a "high protein" feed, does it cause "heating"?
How does HorseHage compare to silage?

The Emmys are in a few weeks, and one of the things that makes the TV award unique - it recognizes the work of casting directors. The Oscars don't; neither do the Tonys. But in today's crowded television landscape, the casting director's job is no small thing.
JENNIFER EUSTON: I get the script. I read it. I break it down. Anyone who has a speaking part is my responsibility, even if the person says, hi - one word. That's my responsibility.
CORNISH: That's Jennifer Euston, a two-time nominee this year. She's been in the casting business for 20 years. Her first gig was on "Law And Order," but in recent years, she's at the top of her game, crafting Emmy-nominated casts for shows like HBO's "Veep" and "Girls." Her most decorated show right now is "Orange Is The New Black" on Netflix.
REGINA SPEKTOR: (Singing) The animals, the animals, trapped, trapped, trapped till the cage is full.
CORNISH: It's a comedy and drama set in a women's prison that tells the story of not just its heroine - an upper-middle-class New Yorker locked up on an old drug charge - but of all the women around her.
DANIELLE BROOKS: (As Tasha Jefferson) So you wind up in prison and everybody's up in your face.
SELENIS LEYVA: (As Gloria Mendoza) Hey, Blanca, you speak Spanish?
TAYLOR SCHILLING: (As Piper Chapman, speaking Spanish).
LEYVA: (As Gloria Mendoza) You see, my girl speaks Spanish.
LAVERNE COX: (As Sophia Burset) Such pretty hair - when those roots start to show, be sure to come and see me, OK?
UZO ADUBA: (As Suzanne Warren) Chocolate and vanilla swirl, swirl.
CORNISH: These are the women who, on another show, say, like, "Law And Order," would've been relegated to bit parts - maid, cashier, city clerk. I asked Jennifer Euston how she found these women.
EUSTON: I've known those women. I've known those women for many, many years - some 15 to 20 years of doing casting in New York. And I've seen them in theater. And I've seen them come in for those bit parts and cast them in those bit parts in movies and other things I've worked on. So I went in to casting "Orange" with a pretty great - I would have to say - arsenal of women that I knew already.
CORNISH: Who were essentially underutilized, right?
EUSTON: Very much so underutilized, yes. And I didn't realize how many of them were going to become such huge parts of the show and turn into series regulars. The pilot was what I used to cast most of the people that you see on the screen now - the major parts. And there weren't a lot of lines in the pilot for all those people. So that's what I had, and I brought in people that I trusted that could take on more if they had to. So that was sort of my strategy.
CORNISH: And so how do you keep track of actors that you like or that you've seen randomly in auditions?
EUSTON: In my brain (laughter).
CORNISH: There's not, like, a scrap - like, a stack of headshots somewhere or something?
EUSTON: No, no, no, no, no, no. I've - one of the things, I think, that got me into casting originally was my memory of actors and actresses and what they've been in and what I've seen them in. I worked in a video store all through high school and college, and that helped with the memory, you know (laughter), when you're putting video boxes away. I do have a memory, so I specifically remember things and they just kind of pop up, you know, when I need them to, thankfully. It's sort of like a filing cabinet in my brain. I don't remember everything, but when it comes to film and actors and things that I need to recall, I can envision people and envision what they've been in.
CORNISH: In looking through your biography, I understand that shortly after going to school for film studies you, at one point, became an assistant to the casting folks at "Law And Order." What did that teach you about what to look for in faces, right? I mean, there's stuff that the directors may want, or the show runners, but kind of how did that hone your sense of understanding character and a character's face?
EUSTON: I had been a big old film buff since I was a teenager. I was obsessed with films from the '30s and '40s and especially screwball comedies, you know? And there would be the movie stars, of course, but the background players, all of those people in the '30s and '40s, they all looked like real people. They didn't look like actors, you know? They were old men and they were old women and they had significant parts, and they were funny. And they contributed something to these movies that meant a lot. And I think in my aesthetic that came with me when I went into casting that I never looked for people who looked like actors or were handsome or muscular or gorgeous or beautiful because I felt like if you put those people in the background of anything, you would be taken out of the story. And so I just want people to look real. I want them to meld with the story.
CORNISH: In looking at "Veep" or "Orange Is The New Black" or "Girls," it seems as though those faces - maybe the unusual faces you're talking about - are now getting to be center stage, right?
EUSTON: I know. They're becoming the stars. It's crazy. I mean, like, I laugh about it because somebody like Adam Driver who I loved so much when I met him when he got out of Juilliard.
CORNISH: (Laughter) Yes, he's an old-timey murderer or thief or something like that.
AMY SCHUMER: (As Angie) I'm sorry. He has the face of, like, an old-timey criminal.
SHIRI APPLEBY: (As Natalia) What are you talking about? No, he looks like Peter Pan.
EUSTON: He does. He does, and that's the face I like, you know? So if this is the new leading man esthetic, this has made my life just in - personally 'cause now these are the kind of movies that I would like to watch, you know, and not these pretty boys.
CORNISH: Here's the thing. In addition to finding unusual faces that challenge our standards of beauty, Jennifer Euston has been recognized as a leader in diverse casting. But the question of diversity remains a charged issue in Hollywood. Earlier this year, a controversial article on the website Deadline suggested the trend toward diversity in television casting was, quote, "too much of a good thing." I asked Jennifer Euston - who is ultimately responsible for those choices? Is it the show runners or casting directors?
EUSTON: I've worked at - on both sides of it, you know? I've been given a gift in the past few years of these really amazingly strong women writing about women of all shapes and sizes and ages and color. And I've been really lucky. But I've also been on the other side of it, working for, you know, men directors, men show runners, and you do get a script and it is mainly men and it is mainly Caucasian and you do your best to sort of offer alternatives if you can. And I don't make the decision, you know? The director or the show runner makes the decision of who's cast. So I again show choices and if I show, you know, half African-American choices, half white choices, they make the choice. So I don't know how casting can be blamed. If I didn't show those choices then maybe there can be a finger pointed. And I don't know what other casting directors do. I can only speak for myself. But I do have many friends and I know they do the same thing I do, you know? So there's always going to be a blame game, you know? Nobody wants to take responsibility for it.
CORNISH: People have talked so much about the diversity of television casts in particular. Is this a trend or is this something you think might have staying power beyond, you know, this TV season and the next TV season?
EUSTON: I hope it has staying power. I mean, it's hard. Change is slow. It might take a while. It might take, you know, several more television seasons to see it in its fruition. But I think that it's evolutionary actually and I think it's going to take time. But I don't think it's a trend. I think that it's here to stay hopefully because I think it's made such an impact on people's lives, and it's successful, and that in and of itself will make it not be a trend. I think a trend is something that's hot for one second and then loses its grip, but I think this is successful and will continue to be so. And I think with the introduction of streaming and Netflix and Hulu doing original programming, Amazon doing original programming because there is no sponsorship necessary, it will be able to continue because you're not going to be answering to any kind of corporate sponsors.
CORNISH: Jennifer Euston, thank you so much for speaking with us.
CORNISH: Jennifer Euston is an Emmy award-winning casting director for film and television.


HARTFORD, CT – Today, State Senator Will Haskell (D-Westport) cheered the advancement of several key bills in the General Assembly. Important legislation aimed at increasing public safety and protecting our natural environmental were heard Monday at public hearings, moving them one step closer to being enacted and creating a safer, cleaner Connecticut.
On Monday, the Judiciary Committee held a public hearing on several bills related to firearms and firearm regulation. That included legislation co-sponsored by Sen. Haskell, including a bill to ban ghost guns, a proposal to mandate the safe storage of firearms, and overdue legislation that would empower law-enforcement officers to confirm that individuals carrying a firearm have a permit that allows them to do so.
House Bill No. 7218, "An Act Concerning the Safe Storage of Firearms in the Home," would require all firearms in a home with a minor under the age of 18 to be secured safely whether loaded or unloaded. Anyone who leaves a gun unsecured in such a home would be made liable for damages if a minor were to obtain a firearm and cause injury to themselves or another individual. This legislation is referred to as "Ethan's Law," in reference to 15-year-old Ethan Song of Guilford, who was killed after obtaining an unsecured gun at a friend's house.
House Bill No. 7219, "An Act Concerning Ghost Guns," would ban guns without serial numbers, additionally creating regulations for firearms that require the purchaser to finish their assembly themselves. Those regulations would extend to homemade or 3-D printed guns. Senate Bill No. 60, "An Act Concerning the Presentation of a Carry Permit," would require individuals open-carrying a gun to produce a firearm permit to a law enforcement officer upon request if the gun is visible.
Also on Monday, the Environment Committee held a public hearing concerning a ban on plastic bags. Sen. Haskell is a co-sponsor of Raised Senate Bill No. 1003, which seeks to reduce use of single-use plastic bags in the state by putting limitations on their use. Except for certain circumstances, these bags would no longer be allowed as of Jan. 1, 2020; stores would instead need to offer recyclable bags intended to be reused or face a fine.
This legislation comes in light of the increasing awareness of the environmental hazard that plastic bags present. Towns across Connecticut, including New Britain and Hamden, are considering or acting on implementing bag bans, and others like Westport banned them nearly a decade ago. While up to 1 trillion plastic bags are used every year, less than 5 percent of that plastic gets recycled, leaving the majority of it to linger in landfills or stream into the sea, where they pose threats to ocean life.

Q: How to select subfolder using File component of Apache Camel? I have Camel application based on Spring Boot, there is a defined route that should poll specific folder (e.g. C:/test). In this folder there are sub-folders named by ordinal date of the day: 196, 197, 198 etc. I need to filter these subfolders and pick up the folder with max value in its name. In other words I need dynamically choose the folder for File component, e.g. C:/test/197.
I tried to use parameter filterDirectory, e.g by setting it to "${date:now:yyyy}". I tried other configurations of folder structure and it seems to me that this parameter doesn't work.
Can such selection of sub-folders be implemented using Camel?
Update:
Currently there is no an opportunity to scan the root folder for sub-folders from code, so solution should rely only on Camel framework.

A: If the configurable options to filter files or folders do not work for your case, you can implement a GenericFileFilter class and configure it as filter option.
The GenericFileFilter class contains just an accept method that returns true (file is imported) or false (file is ignored).
Notice that you need to configure recursive=true if you want to process subdirectories and their files. Without the recursive option, Camel ignores all subdirectories by default.
If you activate the recursive option, the accept method of GenericFileFilter is called for files and folders. Don't forget to handle the folders. If you return false for a directory all files in it are ignored.
So for your case (import all files from a certain subfolder) I see something like this
@Override
public boolean accept(GenericFile file) {
    correctSubfolder = ... calculate name

    if (file.isDirectory() && file.getFileName().equals(correctSubfolder)) {
        // walk into the correct subdirectory
        return true;
    }

    if (!file.isDirectory() && file.getParent().equals(correctSubfolder)) {
        // only process files of the correct subdirectory
        return true;
    }

    // ignore everything else
    return false;

Following what seems like an eternity, Tesla Motors Model X customers could finally get their electric crossover on Tuesday, Sept. 29th.
According to Green Car Reports, customers building the Model X Signature Series on the reservation page online are now seeing its EPA-estimated range at 250 miles, compared to 240 miles just a few weeks ago.
Every Model X will feature all-wheel drive and the option of a 60 or 85 kWh battery. The Model X Performance version will accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 4.4 seconds. This would make Model X faster than many sports cars, including the Porsche 911 Carrera, according to an initial press release. Functional Falcon Wing rear doors fold up and out of the way to allow easy access to third row seats, according to Tesla.
In addition, the 17", touchscreen in-dash display includes driver controls, vehicle apps, web connectivity and onboard charging.
The company first introduced the automobile in February 2012 at its design studio in southern California. Production began at the end of 2013. Originally, Tesla Motors hoped to ship out the first round of deliveries at the beginning of 2014, however; shipping has been delayed for nearly 18 months.
If you're interested in reserving a Model X, you'll have to dish out a cool $5,000. Reservations made this week will not receive a delivery until 2016.
Elon Musk, the chief executive officer of Tesla Motors Inc. and privately-held SpaceX, has a lot to celebrate. Most recently, SpaceX announced two new contracts. According to the press release, the contracts include launch of a communications satellite for HISPASAT on a Falcon 9 and launch of the Saudi Arabian Arabsat 6A communications satellite on a Falcon Heavy.
The launches are slated for Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida between late-2017 and 2018.


Potrero Hill is a great surprise! Sunny!
If you're looking for a slower pace than the city, Potrero Hill hits the spot. My partner and I landed here because of the easy commute to the peninsula (she's a Stanford student) and the airport (I'm a consultant). Parking is also really easy. And for getting into the city, it's an easy walk to the KT line in Dogpatch. We were then pleasantly surprised by the number of restaurant gems in the area. There's one of everything you need: Corner market, coffee shop, sandwich shop, Mexican, Vietnamese, French, and a handful of rather stellar dive bars. Also, don't underestimate the power of a little vitamin D. It's consistently sunny here when it's foggy in the city.
Neighborhood: Hyde is one of the few tree-lined streets in San Francisco, and it definitely made the entire neighborhood more serene and beautiful. Parking: Russian Hill is notoriously bad for parking - I had to pay $250 a month for a spot a 10 minute walk away or risk 30 minutes of circling the neighborhood when I got home from work. Dining: There weren't a ton of restaurants in the neighborhood that we liked.
Lived here for a year when I first moved to the city. It's a 10 minute walk into the Financial District, so very convenient if you work downtown and don't have a car. Grant and Green is a scene on weekends with plenty of cool bars and restaurants, but Kearny is up the hill enough that it's quiet at night.
Great central location if working downtown. Can walk to the financial district in under 15 minutes, North Beach in 5-10 mins, Polk Street in 5 mins, and Cow Hollow / Marina in 15 mins. It's a bit of a trek to the Mission, but how many pairs of skinny jeans and plaid shirts can one person own? The neighborhood is quiet and residential, which is great if that's what you're looking for. And it's called Russian Hill for a reason -- tough to walk anywhere without facing a rather steep incline, but makes for great views (and we could all use the workout anyways, right?). If I were to do it again, I would live in the Marina. Not for the night life, but because it is one of the few places in the city that feels like a real city. Shops, restaurants, gyms, and the like -- all at your finger tips. During the day, there are people out and about and it feels alive and dynamic (unlike Russian Hill which is still and quiet all day, every day).
The Avalon at Mission Bay (4th and 5th at King) is a convenient and luxurious spot. Certainly, it's a bit on the pricey side, but if you can split the rent with a good group, it' can turn into a good deal. Incredible amenities include: BBQ pits, basketball courts, gym, and even a rock climbing wall. Okay, that last one is pretty useless but still good marketing.
Can be sketchy at 1am.
RentLingo is your trusted apartment finder in Oakland. We hire local experts, such as former property managers and locators to anonymously tour and consistently rate and review every available place. They share their honest and unbiased perspective with you, so you know how every rental ranks in the area. Because our experts tour every property, we can offer consistent apartment ratings across every region. So unlike finding a Backpage or Craigslist rental, you can trust these apartments are verified and trustworthy: whether it's a cheap studio or a one bedroom with all utilities paid all the way up to a nice house for rent or a luxury condo.

A large part of what we do involves helping our clients to create a workable, accurate and sustainable budget. This financial plan (also called a spending plan or a savings plan) almost always highlights areas that money is going to that are either no longer needed (old subscriptions or fees), or being over-paid or are for services or products that may be a lower priority than saving for the future.
Every day we hear about people who go to gym to 'train'. But train for what? A healthier body, a nicer torso? Training normally means that there is a finish-line or a competition that is the ultimate goal.
People who simply 'train' for the sake of going to gym are the ones who fall away from the routine and find that their workouts become further and further apart! But those who train for a specific event keep training and keep increasing their intensity – because they know why they're doing it.
Prioritising your savings helps you build some non-negotiables for yourself and build some personal accountability. Liberty proposes these four priorities in your savings plan, but don't feel like you have to stick to them. If you'd like to talk through your options, remember, that's what we're here for!
Emergencies are one of the main reasons people get into debt. Life happens and when it does you need to have a plan.
Every household should have some money put away for emergencies. Author Dave Ramsey recommends starting with a realistic goal of at least R10 000 put away for emergencies. If you have to dip into it for an emergency then prioritise to replenish it. Aim to build up an emergency fund of three months of household expenses.

Using Thrift with Common Lisp
============================

 Thrift is a protocol and library for language-independent communication between cooperating
 processes. The communication takes the form of request and response messages, of which the forms
 are specified in advance throufh a shared interface definition. A Thrift definition file is translated
 into Lisp source files, which comprise several definitions:

  * Three packages, one for the namespace of the implementation operators, and one each for request and
  response operators.
  * Various type definitions as implementations for Thrift typedef and enum definitions.
  * DEF-STRUCT and DEF-EXCEPTION forms for Thrift struct and exception definitions.
  * DEF-SERVICE forms for thrift service definitions.

 Each service definition expands in a collection of generic function definitions. For each `op`
 in the service definition, two functions are defined

  * `op`-request is defined for use by a client. It accepts an additional initial `protocol` argument,
    to act as the client proxy for the operation and mediate the interaction with a remote process
    through a Thrift-encoded transport stream.
  * `op`-response is defined for use by a server. It accepts a single `protocol` argument. A server
    uses it to decode the request message, invoke the base `op` function with the message arguments,
    encode and send the the result as a response, and handles exceptions.

 The client interface is one operator

  * `with-client (variable location) . body` : creates a connection in a dynamic context and closes it
    upon exit. The variable is bound to a client proxy stream/protocol instance, which wraps the
    base i/o stream - socket, file, etc, with an operators which implement the Thrift protocol
    and transport mechanisms.

 The server interface combines server and service objects

  * `serve (location service)` : accepts connections on the designated port and responds to
    requests of the service's operations.

Building
--------

The Thrift Common Lisp library is packaged as the ASDF[[1]] system `thrift`.
It depends on the systems

* puri[[2]] : for the thrift uri class
* closer-mop[[3]] : for class metadata
* trivial-utf-8[[4]] : for string codecs
* usocket[[5]] : for the socket transport
* ieee-floats[[6]] : for conversion between ints and floats
* trivial-gray-streams[[7]] : an abstraction layer for gray streams
* alexandria[[8]] : handy utilities

The dependencies are bundled for local builds of tests and tutorial binaries -
it is possible to use those bundles to load the library, too.

In order to build it, register those systems with ASDF and evaluate:

    (asdf:load-system :thrift)

This will compile and load the Lisp compiler for Thrift definition files, the
transport and protocol implementations, and the client and server interface
functions. In order to use Thrift in an application, one must also author and/or
load the interface definitions for the remote service.[[9]] If one is implementing a service,
one must also define the actual functions to which Thrift is to act as the proxy
interface. The remainder of this document follows the Thrift tutorial to illustrate how
to perform the steps

  * implement the service
  * translate the Thrift IDL
  * load the Lisp service interfaces
  * run a server for the service
  * use a client to access the service remotely

Note that, if one is to implement a new service, one will also need to author the
IDL files, as there is no facility to generate them from a service implementation.

Implement the Service
---------------------

The tutorial comprises serveral functions: `add`, `ping`, `zip`, and `calculate`.
Each translated IDL file generates three packages for every service. In the case of
the tutorial file, the relevant packages are:

  * tutorial.calculator
  * tutorial.calculator-implementation
  * tutorial.calculator-response

This is to separate the request (generated), response (generated) and implementation
(meant to be implemented by the programmer) functions for defined Thrift methods.

It is suggested to work in the `tutorial-implementation` package while implementing
the services - it imports the `common-lisp` package, while the service-specific ones
don't (to avoid conflicts between Thrift method names and function names in `common-lisp`).

    ;; define the base operations

    (in-package :tutorial-implementation)

    (defun tutorial.calculator-implementation:add (num1 num2)
      (format t "~&Asked to add ~A and ~A." num1 num2)
      (+ num1 num2))

    (defun tutorial.calculator-implementation:ping ()
      (print :ping))

    (defun tutorial.calculator-implementation:zip ()
      (print :zip))

    (defun tutorial.calculator-implementation:calculate (logid task)
      (calculate-op (work-op task) (work-num1 task) (work-num2 task)))

    (defgeneric calculate-op (op arg1 arg2)
      (:method :around (op arg1 arg2)
        (let ((result (call-next-method)))
          (format t "~&Asked to calculate: ~d on  ~A and ~A = ~d." op arg1 arg2 result)
          result))

      (:method ((op (eql operation.add)) arg1 arg2)
        (+ arg1 arg2))
      (:method ((op (eql operation.subtract)) arg1 arg2)
        (- arg1 arg2))
      (:method ((op (eql operation.multiply)) arg1 arg2)
        (* arg1 arg2))
      (:method ((op (eql operation.divide)) arg1 arg2)
        (/ arg1 arg2)))

    (defun zip () (print 'zip))

Translate the Thrift IDL
------------------------

IDL files employ the file extension `thrift`. In this case, there are two files to translate
  * `tutorial.thrift`
  * `shared.thrift`
As the former includes the latter, one uses it to generate the interfaces:

    $THRIFT/bin/thrift -r --gen cl $THRIFT/tutorial/tutorial.thrift

`-r` stands for recursion, while `--gen` lets one choose the language to translate to.

Load the Lisp translated service interfaces
-------------------------------------------

The translator generates three files for each IDL file. For example `tutorial-types.lisp`,
`tutorial-vars.lisp` and an `.asd` file that can be used to load them both and pull in
other includes (like `shared` within the tutorial) as dependencies.

Run a Server for the Service
----------------------------

The actual service name, as specified in the `def-service` form in `tutorial.lisp`, is `calculator`.
Each service definition defines a global variable with the service name and binds it to a
service instance whch describes the operations.

In order to start a service, specify a location and the service instance.

    (in-package :tutorial)
    (serve #u"thrift://127.0.0.1:9091" calculator)

Use a Client to Access the Service Remotely
-------------------------------------------

[in some other process] run the client

    (in-package :cl-user)

    (macrolet ((show (form)
                 `(format *trace-output* "~%~s =>~{ ~s~}"
                          ',form
                          (multiple-value-list (ignore-errors ,form)))))
      (with-client (protocol #u"thrift://127.0.0.1:9091")
        (show (tutorial.calculator:ping protocol))
        (show (tutorial.calculator:add protocol 1 2))
        (show (tutorial.calculator:add protocol 1 4))

        (let ((task (make-instance 'tutorial:work
                      :op operation.subtract :num1 15 :num2 10)))
          (show (tutorial.calculator:calculate protocol 1 task))

          (setf (tutorial:work-op task) operation.divide
                (tutorial:work-num1 task) 1
                (tutorial:work-num2 task) 0)
          (show (tutorial.calculator:calculate protocol 1 task)))

        (show (shared.shared-service:get-struct protocol 1))

        (show (zip protocol))))

Issues
------

### optional fields
 Where the IDL declares a field options, the def-struct form includes no
 initform for the slot and the encoding operator skips an unbound slot. This leave some ambiguity
 with bool fields.

### instantiation protocol :
 struct classes are standard classes and exception classes are
 whatever the implementation prescribes. decoders apply make-struct to an initargs list.
 particularly at the service end, there are advantages to resourcing structs and decoding
 with direct side-effects on slot-values

### maps:
 Maps are now represented as hash tables. As data through the call/reply interface is all statically
 typed, it is not necessary for the objects to themselves indicate the coding form. Association lists
 would be sufficient. As the key type is arbitrary, property lists offer no additional convenience:
 as `getf` operates with `eq` a new access interface would be necessary and they would not be
 available for function application.

"Our promise is simply to strive to provide you with the wedding of your dreams."
Based in the Gironde department just South of Bordeaux, Chateau Lagorce have been planning weddings since 2004. Having already organised over a hundred bespoke weddings, they are accustomed to orchestrating a wide variety of wedding celebrations. However Anna Holmes wedding planner says that they are only as good as the team around them.
With the speed of life in the twenty first century, its hard to find the time to plan your own wedding. This is why a wedding planner is ideal, particularly when organising a wedding abroad.
I just wanted to write a special this note to thankyou you for the most amazing wedding ever. The whole experience from start to finish, from my first enquiry was the best service, you always respond and you most importantly deliver what you say you will, which in business is very rare.
Never once did I have to worry it wouldn't be taken care of and my every wish was taken care of PLUS some. You and your team make the event just a true pleasure and I have never seen so many happy people at the one event.
I seriously can't thank you enough, you are a beautiful person and you truly care about your customers.
The Chateau is so beautiful and it was a dream come true from start to finish, you basically let us have the chateau and that felt so comfortable, just like it was our home for a few days, no-one was uncomfortable, the wine tour was lots of fun as well. Everything was just beautiful, the food, the wine, the champagne, the cheese, the breakfasts, the pizza van, the wedding cake, the wedding meal, outstanding, can't stop thinking about it.
You need to promote your business more, they have bridal expos here you should be here if you want more customers, the business is amazing and if I ever had time and you need help let me know. Thank you to you and the team for the best ever wedding.
Hi Anna and Edward, Hope all is well. We returned from our honeymoon in Sardinia and it was amazing. Just wanted to say what a wonderful time we had at the chateau. Everyone thought it was spectacular! And everyone who has seen pictures can't even believe how beautiful the property is.

As we all know that Anambra State is the first Christian community that received the Gospel in Igbo land through the effort of Bishop Samuel Ajayi Crowther about 161 years ago dated back to 27th July 1857. This is the possible date of the beginning of development and civilization in Igbo land, Eastern Nigeria and Anambra State in particular.
has spoken volume of the ownership of the land. Shanahan Primary School is a public / government school named after Bishop Shanahan (of the RCM), a contemporary of Bishop Crowther. The Roman Catholic Church has fenced the compound, relocated the school and built many structures inside the compound (including church, private school, hall, etc).
Many plans have been made previously by the Roman Catholic Head Teacher and Roman Catholic Church Authorities. They had invited a Pentecostal Church (The Lord's Chosen) and gave them one of the block of the School. The former HM kept fighting the Church until her grace expired and the wrath of God visited her. She slumped and died in the compound as she was about entering her car, after threatening the Church. Meanwhile, the Lord's Chosen Church later discovered the truth and relocated on their own. The Signpost of the School with the inscription "Bishop Crowther Memorial Primary School" was stolen. A new Signpost for the school was mounted with same inscription on the stolen one, only to discover the next day that the "Bishop" on the name has been erased with a white paint. The Anglicans considering their stake in the school undertake to fence the compound; a group of hired thugs came and pulled down the fence and the work commenced again after nobody claimed to be responsible.
On Tuesday June 22, 2010, about 2pm, a team of ASUDED men (suspected to have come from Awka) with their vehicle (Bus) and three armed policemen came to the site. About 3.30pm the same day, the Commissioner for Education herself came to the site, complimented the work after enquiries and left. That same day also, at about 8.10 pm, there was an attempt to destroy the fence. About seven partitions facing the Basilica gate were partly damaged by some hit-and-run thugs. Incidentally, a Youth Meeting (which dismissed around that time) was held at the Basilica that day.
big question again for us in this state is ASUBEB, ASUDEB, an extension of Roman Catholic programme are they fighting for the interest of the state or of their Roman Catholic Church, The government and the Member of the House should wake up and understand what is really happening.
Omunwagboka Primary School was a government school originally inside the now Basilica Compound, that used to have two sessions, popularly called Omu I and Omu II. It was very lately (about 1981 / 82) that the Roman Catholic Church, in their bid to accumulate more land and misplace identities, facilitated / engineered the relocation of Omu II to Crowther Memorial Primary School Compound as an afternoon school, while Omu I was renamed Sancta Maria Primary School, still a government / public school, which now occupies the structures of the former Omu I and Omu II. The other three government schools fenced into the Holy Trinity Compound were not left out of the manipulation. (Queen of the) Niger I and Niger II Primary Schools were changed to Immaculate Primary School, while Obianazonwu Primary School was renamed Holy Trinity Primary School. These were all and are still government / public schools. The plot through the HM of Omunwagboka Primary School to lure the Egwuatu (Omunwagboka) family of Onitsha into claiming ownership of the land (by her address during Omunwagboka's first inter–house sports). However, I am sure that the family knows very well that Omunwagboka Primary School is a wonderer currently taking refuge at Bishop Crowther Primary School Compaound. I am sure they know where Omunwagboka Primary School Land is, definitely not at Crowther Primary School Compound.
Crowther Memorial Primary School, where the fence is trying to save the pupils and teachers from all sorts of danger that they are exposed to, which made them to cry out for help? Why a government agency should be involved in this ugly religious politics, to the extent of maliciously damaging a project it should have ordinarily commended and encouraged.
In 2013 the governor His Excellency Mr. Peter Obi handed back schools to their original owners in which there were so many irregularities since many Anglican schools where wrongly handed back to Roman Catholic Church and government school were also taken. The Governor on a good note appointed a panel of enquiry to resolve the crisis but the panel result was manipulated because the Chairman and the Secretary rushed and concluded the report without consulting with the committee.
There are recent moves to frustrate the St. Peters BCM Anglican church in the compound have intensified the church and school sign post have been defaced and removed so many times. Arm robbery and vandalization of church compound. We pray the good Lord to help our State in Jesus name.
This is a wake up call to the government, members of the House to sit up and correct the religious political issues in the state before it is too late, knowing the gravity of religious crisis in the nation and any state that is affected.
It is a wake up call for the citizens of Anambra State to work for the peace, progress of the state before it is too late.
It is wake up call for the Church Members to ask their leaders where they are leading them to.

Tender-assist TLP with coiled tubing optimizes Moho Nord Albian wells
Total and partners Chevron and SNPC have committed to the complex Moho Nord development offshore Republic of Congo.
Complex offshore Congo development to boost oil recovery
Editor, Europe
Total and partners Chevron and SNPC have committed to the complex Moho Nord development offshore Republic of Congo. The project is targeting oil and gas reservoirs at Miocene and Albian level in the north of the Moho-Bilondo permit.
At the same time, 11 new Miocene wells will be drilled in the permit's southern area as subsea tiebacks to the floating production unit (FPU)Alima, which has operated on the Moho-Bilondo field since start-up in 2008. This scheme, known as Moho-Bilondo Phase 1bis, and Moho Nord, will collectively extract an additional 485 MMboe of reserves at an estimated cost of $10 billion. First oil is scheduled for 2015, with output from the two new developments building to 140,000 boe/d in 2017.
Schematic of the Moho Nord TLP.
Moho Nord will involve processing both light Albian and heavier Miocene crude on a second new FPU. Total has refined various solutions for dealing with mixed crude compositions on its multi-field deepwater projects in block 17 off Angola. One of these, the use of wash tanks to ease separation of incoming heavy oil, will be adapted for use on the new FPU. What is more novel on Moho Nord is the selection of an unmanned wellhead TLP designed for simultaneous tender-assist drilling of dry-tree wells and coiled tubing intervention, with the latter likely to be needed from the outset in the more problematic Albian reservoir.
Hyundai Heavy Engineering (HHI) is building both the TLP and the new FPU. Doris Engineering, which was involved in engineering for the first-phase Moho-Bilondo development in 2004-06 and the earlier Nkossa project in the same region, worked with HHI on detailed engineering for both new Moho Nord facilities. The 14,600-metric ton (16,093-ton) TLP will export production from 17 first-phase Albian wells to the new FPU. A further 11 Miocene wells will be drilled from four subsea manifolds as direct tiebacks to the FPU.
Reservoir issues
Total E&P Congo discovered the Moho-Bilondo field 80 km (50 mi) offshore in 1995, bringing it onstream in April 2005. This was Republic of Congo's first deepwater development, in water depths ranging from 540-730 m (1,771-2,395 ft), and involved drilling nine production wells and five water injectors in two subsea clusters on the Bilondo and Mobim reservoirs, both connected to theAlima. Oil is exported through a 16-in. pipeline to the Total-operated onshore terminal at Djéno, with associated gas piped to the Nkossa barge.
One year prior to start-up, the partners drilled the Moho Nord Marine 1 and 2 discovery wells, proving fresh reserves of Tertiary Miocene oil in the north of the permit. Two more successful wells followed in 2008-09, with Moho Nord Marine-4 encountering oil for the first time at Albian level, 4.4 km (2.7 mi) northwest of the Tertiary structure.
Map shows location of the Moho Nord and Moho-Bilondo Phase 1bis developments.
"The Albian section is very deep, at 3,400 m [11,155 ft] below the mudline," said Jérôme Iacovella, departmental head of naval architecture and marine operations at Doris Engineering. "This is much deeper than Moho-Bilondo and the reservoir will therefore be more difficult to produce, with 70˚ C [58˚ F] and 20 bar [290 psi] operating conditions. Due to the reservoir complexity, and the likely need for intervention from the outset, the partners decided that surface wellheads would be the best option for the Albian drilling campaign, with subsea wells on the Miocene part of the field. After evaluating potential concepts for the Albian wells, they went for a TLP.
"A spar platform was in contention, but the behavior of spars offshore West Africa is not so good because of the long-period swells, typically 15-22 seconds. In that range, the spar must be very, very deep. The swells also make installation of the spar difficult, because it has to be upended from a horizontal position. Also, the relative motions between the christmas trees and the spar are higher in these conditions than with a TLP. The TLP's tendon supports induce less motion, and the size of the platform is more compact, and therefore cheaper to build, and easier to operate for drilling with a tender-assist rig alongside."
Doris had performed numerous studies since the mid-1990s, first on TLPs and later a mini-TLP for tender-assist drilling off West Africa. Total also considered a tender-assist wellhead TLP for Moho-Bilondo during the conceptual phase.
At peak, Moho Nord's platform will produce 40,000 b/d of light oil from the Albian reservoir, which will head to the new FPU through conventional flexible transfer lines flowlines and risers suspended at a water depth of 200 m (656 ft). The TLP itself will be located in 780 m (2,559 ft) water depth, with the FPU moored in 800 m (2,624 ft) of water.
Moho-Nord's platform, to be built by Hyundai in Ulsan, South Korea under a $1.3-billion contract, will be 60 m (197 ft) wide, 56 m (184 ft) high at the upper deck, 119.5 m (392 ft) at the top of the drilling set, and with a displacement of 35,000 metric tons (38,581 tons). There will be no facilities onboard for processing aside from testing equipment, and no accommodation either, a first for a TLP anywhere, according to Iacovella, although personnel will come aboard from the FPU for drilling and coiled tubing operations. The facility will have 27 well slots. It should be delivered during the first half of 2015, with drilling scheduled to start in 3Q 2015. Twelve production wells and five water injector wells will be drilled, with seven more producers and three more water injectors to follow in a future phase.
The TLP's modular drilling package will be supported and controlled by a newbuild tender-assist semisubmersible rig, both to be supplied by Houston-based Bassdrill. The TLP's drill floor will be higher than normal, at 17.5 m (57 ft) above upper deck to accommodate the coiled tubing equipment housed below, which will be deployed via an overhead crane. Another innovation, designed to save space, is the location of the BOP within a cage between the TLP's upper and lower decks.
"Unocal was the first company to deploy a wellhead TLP with a BOP, on the Seno field offshore Indonesia," Iacovella said, "but this is the first instance of a TLP with both a BOP and coiled tubing. Both normally take up a lot of room. We performed tank tests to prove the stability of our concept, including vortex-induced vibration issues, at Marin in the Netherlands. Further tests will follow at Océanide in southern France on the impact on the TLP of a dry transportation."
As stated earlier, the facilities are designed to provide constant access to the wells for intervention, simultaneous with drilling operations. "The TLP will have an open wellbay with five center slots," said Iacovella. "This will allow the drilling riser to be skidded seamlessly from one slot to another to drill all the wells without having to be dismantled. That saves a lot of time for the drilling contractor, which is important because the duration of the drilling campaign will be longer than normal. Otherwise, the rest of the drill floor equipment is standard."
Operations on the TLP will be controlled from the new FPU via a flexible umbilical, again suspended in midwater. Aside from an onboard emergency generator, all the TLP's power will also be supplied from the FPU. "The idea is to save as much weight as possible," Iacovella explained.
Additionally, Doris will perform detailed engineering of the FPU and its mooring system. The 250-m (820-ft) long, 44-m (144-ft) wide FPU, due to arrive at the field in April 2016, will be bigger than the existing unit on Moho-Bilondo, said Doris CEO Loïc des Déserts, with a weight of 62,000 metric tons (68,343 tons), including a 19,500-metric ton (21,495-ton) topsides, and accommodation for 150 personnel. It will have capacity to produce up to 100,000 b/d of oil and 2.5 MMcm/d of gas, with the oil exported to Djeno and the gas sent to Nkossa via subsea pipelines.
"Otherwise," said des Déserts, "it will be fairly conventional, although it will include equipment for two types of separation, one for the fluids from the TLP, and one for production from the subsea wells. For crude stabilization Total plans to incorporate wash tanks, which it has deployed previously on the Pazflor FPSO offshore Angola and on Usan and Egina offshore Nigeria.
"The intermediate tank will serve as a very large separator. There is an issue of emulsion to deal with in the heavy Miocene oil arriving from the subsea wells. Washing out the continuous layer of water from the crude will ease separation."

Identify and treat deformities of the foot.
Your toddler is not walking yet, but the first months of his life are the best time to identify and treat deformities of the foot. Unique sandals, developed by an Israeli company, provide an effective solution to a common problem.
A simple examination by an orthopedist, in the baby's first weeks or months, can result in the early diagnosis and quick and efficient treatment of a"Metatarsus Adductus" deformity. Without such treatment, the problem might worsen and necessitate future surgeries. The deformity, the most common among newborns, is known as metatarsus adductus (MA) or Pigeon- toed, Metatarsus Varus, Metatarsus Primus Varus, Calcaneovalgus, Forefoot Varus, Cavovarus foot,Skewfoot, Intoeing gait forefoot adduction (FFA). According to research, it is prevalent in 3.2 to 12 percent of newborns.
In fact, Metatarsus Adductus may be the most common deformity among infants, but it is also the one that can be treated with the most success, when treatment is started in the child's early months – preferably before the age of nine months.
Until a few years ago, the common treatment across the globe was a set of castings reaching the inguinal area, changing the castings every 4 to 6 weeks. This has been the accepted method worldwide over the past two hundred years. The problem was that it involved many complications and difficulties, which brought doctors to give up the treatment in the mild and moderate cases, and treat only severe cases. In those cases too, despite the correction achieved with the castings, the problem recurred after the treatment was discontinued. Therefore, reverse-last shoes were recommended in order to preserve the correction after the end of the treatment.
have developed unique braces using an innovative and highly sophisticated technology. They are made as sandals fitted to the infants' feet and easily adjusted.
The babies wear the sandals 23 hours a day for 3-6 weeks, depending on the gravity of the condition. Later, they wear them only at night for 6 more weeks, to preserve the correction. It is a friendly, effective and safe treatment that ends before the infant starts walking.
This method can also treat mild cases, instead of gambling on the deformity correcting itself with time. Any delay in diagnosis and treatment might be significant in the child's adult life, hamper treatment and leave him with a deformed and unstable gait, and side effects when older. These side effects can include pain, rapid shoe wear out, stress fractures on the outer side of the foot (the fifth metatarsal bone), hallux valgus ("bunion") and mallet toe.
Since 2007, thousands of infants in Israel and around the world have been treated with UNFO's correction braces to correct MTA, and have enjoyed a full and quick recovery without significant side effects, and without gambling with their feet on uncertain statistics.
Only 80 to 85 percent of mild cases of MA can be resolved without treatment. All moderate to severe cases that are not flexible – require treatment.
There is no proof that stretches and physiotherapy exercises by parents or physiotherapists are effective for treating infants' feet.
To achieve successful results, the treatment must begin before the age of 9 months. Treatments after the age of 10 months are less successful.
Note: The parents' vigilance is crucial in identifying and diagnosing the problem in the first months, to correctly and effectively treat the feet of precious infants before walking age. There are many cases of "omissions" in routine medical examinations at the HMOs or at the Family Health Centers. We receive these cases after walking age -at such a stage, treatments are ineffectual.

For the kids in the 90s, this movie defined fashion at its best. Based on the classic by Jane Austen 'Emma', this movie had some amazing make-overs and outfits. Clueless really had some defining fashion moments on the big screen but also became one of the most relatable films for young teens and adults.
This is the movie that brought Anne Hathaway into the limelight and made her a star. When an ordinary teen Mia finds out that she is actually a princess, her life takes a turn and she has some extraordinary experiences. From makeovers to bullies and young love, this movie has everything a teen movie needs and some good comedy as well.
As kids, all of us wish to grow up fast because we think being an adult is the coolest thing ever until we actually become one. Jenna who is a 13-year-old teen makes a wish to grow up and suddenly becomes a 30-year-old who has to deal with grownup stuff. This is a beautiful film about childhood and love and how most of us have forgotten what it was like to be kids.
This one is such a classic that it needs no introduction. Tina Fey brought us this masterpiece a long time ago and it still remains one of the most successful and quotable movies of all time. Lindsey Lohan and Rachel McAdams got immortalized with their characters in this movie as it explained the cliques and hierarchies of high school.
This is definitely not your usual romantic comedy but that's because it is much better than that! Ellen Page (Juno) is a high school student who becomes pregnant and decides to give birth to the kid. This movie is such a roller coaster as Juno struggles through her nine months of pregnancy as a teenager and high school life.
Who knew a modern day adaptation of a Shakespeare play could be so much fun. This movie has the late Heath Ledger in his most charming avatar and his chemistry with Julia Stiles is amazing. The movie is a good portrayal of the different types of teens and how they all want to be accepted and loved. A love story at its heart this movie will make you fall for a young Heath Ledger and you'll be singing "can't take my eyes off you" for a long time.
One of the best performances of Emma Stone till date. This is the story of a high school student who with the help of rumours tries to earn some money. These rumours, however, get out of hand and her image is completely tarnished in the school. This movie is really a gem and one of the funniest movies ever.
This is a movie that will make you feel so many things that you might burst. It is a story of depth and love and about being an outcast. This is the story of a socially awkward teen called Charlie who struggles when he reaches high school and then gets a group of amazing friends who teach him a lot of stuff about life and how to live it. Charlie is a complicated kid but the experiences he has had at a young age make him more mature than most.
This movie definitely changed the game for teen movies with its dark humour and strong performances. This is not just a regular teen movie but is a black comedy that makes comments on the bullying and abusive culture of high schools and the raging hierarchies that exist among its students. Winona Ryder gives an amazing performance that makes it a must watch.
Probably one of the best movies of all time was this teen movie that brought the issues of teenagers in front of the world with an honesty and originality that had not been seen before. The movie is a commentary on the struggles of being a high school kid and living up to the societal expectations that we often have from teenagers. It hits all the right chords and gives you all the feelings of nostalgia and relatability.

Odessa: Odessa Meteor Crater
IT CAME FROM OUTERSPACE
The Odessa Meteor Crater, location of a catastrophic mash-up from space, offers an interpretive center full of science fact alongside a giant hole in the ground that may remind you of science fiction. The National Natural Landmark, considered one of the largest impact craters in the country, was ground zero for a shower of nickel-iron meteorites believed to have originated from an asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Among the thousands of small meteorites (called octahedrites) falling across a two mile wide area were several chunks of considerable size that, upon colliding with the Earth, blew a few holes in the ground including one five hundred feet wide and approximately a hundred feet deep. Although erosion has filled in much of the largest crater since impact (about 20,000 years ago), this National Natural Landmark provides an interpretive trail into the impact site while its visitor center displays recovered samples of the actual perpetrator. The principal meteorite mass, however, remains one hundred and sixty-four feet below the crater…perhaps waiting patiently for the mother ship to arrive and take it back home.

Q: Calculation on GPU leads to driver error "stopped responding" I have this little nonsense script here which I am executing in MATLAB R2013b:
clear all;

n = 2000;
times = 50;
i = 0;

tCPU = tic;

disp 'CPU::'
A = rand(n, n);
B = rand(n, n);
disp '::Go'
for i = 0:times
    CPU = A * B;
end

tCPU = toc(tCPU);
tGPU = tic;

disp 'GPU::'
A = gpuArray(A);
B = gpuArray(B);
disp '::Go'
for i = 0:times
    GPU =  A * B ;
end
tGPU = toc(tGPU);

fprintf('On CPU: %.2f sec\nOn GPU: %.2f sec\n', tCPU, tGPU);

Unfortunately after execution I receive a message from Windows saying: "Display driver stopped working and has recovered.".

Which I assume means that Windows did not get response from my graphic cards driver or something. The script returned without errors:

But no matter if the GPU runs out of memory or not, MATLAB is not able to use the GPU device before I restarted it. If I don't restart MATLAB I receive just a message from CUDA:

A: The key piece of information is this part of the gpuDevice output:
KernelExecutionTimeout: 1

This means that the host display driver is active on the GPU you are running the compute jobs on. The NVIDIA display driver contains a watchdog timer which kills any task which takes more than a predefined amount of time without yielding control back to the driver for screen refresh. This is intended to prevent the situation where a long running or stuck compute job renders the machine unresponsive by freezing the display. The runtime of your Matlab script is clearly exceeding the display driver watchdog timer limit. Once that happens, the the compute context held on the device is destroyed and Matlab can no longer operate with the device. You might be able to reinitialise the context by calling reset, which I guess will run cudaDeviceReset() under the cover.
There is a lot of information about this watchdog timer on the interweb - for example this Stack Overflow question. The solution for how to modify this timeout is dependent on your OS and hardware. The simplest way to avoid this is to not run CUDA code on a display GPU, or increase the granularity of your compute jobs so that no one operation has a runtime which exceeds the timeout limit. Or just write faster code...

I think this project is pretty key. 30 pages, super user friendly design and search functions plus all kinds of quick charts. Then new players would have a chance.
Great, these models are in the right direction! How do they look beside GW ogre models? Smaller? Thinner? Bigger? Do they match, kinda?
You would have yourself a customer, if you sculpted Mercenary ogres with armour and pistols No company can provide these, and they are fairly popular.
bloodsail-island-mega-deal.jpg These are probably the closest... but not much armour going on.
you know clubs with 9th age regulars in cph? Could catch some games outside the normal group.

I would like to see some way to infuse warmachines with magic - like the the DL hope harvester. Discarding veil tokens for extra shots.
Can you stand and shoot with wail of woe?


In Cucina con Vivica - Cooking with Vivica!
Cooking Note by Note with Vivica!
Vivica featured on Nicky D Cooks's CiaoPittsburgh Blog!
During her time in Pittsburgh for Pittsburgh Opera's production of Rossini's La Cenerentola, Vivica shared her enthusiasm and delicious talents for Italian cuisine with CiaoPittsburgh author Nicky Shadel, known to Foodies in the Steel City as Nicky D Cooks.
As I began the interview, Nicky writes, Vivica charmingly kicked off her pumps and curled her legs under her. She has such an unpretentious air about her.
Vivica's eyes light up as she describes all the wonderful food and dishes that Massimo cooks for her. She describes several dishes, which include some of her favorites: the wood-grilled, marinated chicken in garlic and hot peppers; the skillet potatoes in broth and butter; and Bistecca alla Vivica (flank stank), [which] Vivica was kind enough to share! Scroll down for this wonderful recipe!

A tremendous Grazie infinite goes out to Nicky for her wonderful article!
Then, put as much garlic as you want in the incisions in the meat (remember that you only sliced through 1/4 - 1/2 of the thickness of the meat). I usually just smash two cloves of garlic and then break them up into little chunks that fit into the incisions. If the garlic is nice and deep into the slices, you do not need to worry about it burning: if it is just resting on top of the meat, it will get charred in the broiler!
Finally, put the steak into the broiler. Depending upon how done you prefer you meat to be, in 7 - 10 minutes, it is cooked and ready for plating. Salt and add herbs to taste after removing the meat from the broiler. Buon appetito!
Put this in the category of "bland foods I love." Massimo says that polenta with milk used to be a typical morning food in "Olde Italye." No one eats it anymore, but at least it isn't an affront to Bella Italia!
Stir constantly while boiling! The trick is to put the polenta in cold water rather than waiting until it boils: if you put it in hot water, it just makes big lumps.
Put the polenta in a bowl and pour milk over it.
Peel two (2) oranges, removing all the pith [the white part] as well, and slice -- perpendicular to the sections -- into about 1/2 inch - 3/4 inch-thick slices.
Place slices on a serving plate, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and pour on about 1.5T of extra-virgin olive oil and 1T of either Balsamic or white-wine vinegar, making sure that each slice of orange gets a little 'rainfall' of both olive oil and vinegar.
