Workplace Healthcare
Workplace healthcare & wellbeing has certainly moved forward in the last ten years, quite possibly the word 'wellbeing' would not have even been used, but is now regularly applied in the corporate world when referring to the physical & mental state of your workforce.
Keeping your staff healthy typically involved occupational health, physio and compliance with health & safety, perhaps with some health perks within your employee benefit packages. These remain important elements, however…
There is a bigger picture.
Increasingly companies are realizing that the ongoing wellbeing of their people is paramount.
Historically treatment has been reactive, this has now been allied with a proactive approach, the philosophy 'prevention is better than cure' has been adopted by organisations that want to keep their people fit, active and productive.

The most popular loan repayment plan is to leave the country. Those who would rather leave the country than pay their loans edged out the folks who prefer to pay by IBR (income based repayment) by just one vote.
Top defense lawyers Barry Scheck and Peter Neufeld give us another reason not to try to go solo: malpractice. The two lawyers messed up and missed a deadline a few years ago and got sued by a client. They had to pay $900,000 to the client. Ouch. That had to hurt.
For those of you considering solo practice and thinking about saving some money by skimping on malpractice insurance, you might want to think again.
IBR, Leave the Country, Or Be Invisible In the US?
There seem to be four ways recent JDs are dealing with their school debt: paying, income based repayment (IBR),leaving the country, and becoming invisible (all cash) and staying in the US.
This is a tough decision, and everyone has to do what makes them happy; everyone has a different pain threshold. I could not deal with hiding out in the US, the fear of being found out would outweigh any joy of not paying my loans. However,if you have the stomach for it, there is an excellent book that will help you, How To Be Invisible by J.J. Luna, is full of useful tips for eluding just about everyone, sort of a guide to a modified witness protection program.
Leaving the country seems like a good idea, and I know a few of my former classmates that went that route; some went to Europe, others Israel. But what if 20 years from now, you want to come back? Hopefully, 20 years from now it won't matter and there will be loan forgiveness for those who couldn't find a job in the legal profession. Not likely to happen, but you never know.
That leaves paying and income based repayment (IBR). For those of us without a Big Law job or a winning lotto ticket, IBR is the way to go. IBR has calculator on their website which lets you plug in your salary, your debt amount, interest rate, etc.

Q: Tests statistics (number of tests by type, time spent to run by type) In the current project we are using TeamCity as a CI platform and we have a bunch of projects and builds up and running.
The next step in our process is to track some statistics around our tests. So we are looking for a tool that could help us to get this numbers and make them visible for each build.
In the first place we want to keep track of the following numbers:

*

*Number of unit tests

*Number of specflow tests tagged as @ui

*Number of specflow tests tagged as @controller

*And also time spent running each of the test categories above.

Some details about the current scenario:

*

*.net projects

*nUnit for the unit tests

*SpecFlow for functional tests categorized as @controller and @ui

*rake for the build scripts

*TeamCity as a CI Server.

I'm looking for tools and/or practices suggestions to help us to track those numbers.

A: The issue here is your requirements for tags. SpecFlow/NUnit/TeamCity/DotCover integration is already developed enough to do everything that you require, except for the tagging.
I'm wondering how much of a mix you expect to have between UI and Controller tests. Assuming that you are correctly seperating your domains (see Dan North - Whose domain is it anyway) then you should never get scenarios tagged with these two tags in the same feature. So then I assume its just a case of separating the UI features from the functionality (controller) features.
I've recently started separating my features in just this way, by adding Namespace folders in my tests assembly, mirroring how you would separate Models, ViewModels and Views (etc), and TeamCity is definitely clever enough to report coverage and each stage of the drill down through assemblies and namespaces.

Hrvatski zvončić (patuljasta zvončika, patuljasti zvončić, lat. Campanula cochleariifolia) je biljka iz porodice zvončika (Campanulaceae).

Rasprostranjenost
Dolazi u prirodi na Pirinejima, Alpama i Karpatima. U Hrvatskoj raste na Risnjaku, Snježniku, Bitoraju, na Velebitu, Plješevici, Kamešnici i Dinari.

Izgled
Visok je do 15 cm. Donji listovi su skupljeni u obliku rozete. Cvjetovi su modri. Lapovi su jedva dulji od plodnice. Razmnožava se sjemenom i vriježama. Raste u busenima.

Ekološki zahtjevi
Odgovaraju mu vapnenačka tla u području planinske vegetacije. Uglavnom je raširen na stijenama i na točilima. Smeta mu onečišćenost atmosfere, zbog čega se brojnost smanjuje.

United States wastes billions of dollars to ship food aid
By Tom Murphy on	 23 October 2014 2

The United States spent more money to ship, handle and store food aid than on the actual food. A total of $17.9 billion was spent on food aid between 2003 and 2012 by the United States. Of that total, $9.2 billion was spent on just getting the food to the people in need. A comprehensive investigation by USA Today and Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism confirms what has long been said about U.S. food aid — it is inefficient and in need of reform.
"[The $9 billion wasted] makes it by far the most inefficient and expensive food assistance delivery system in the world, and one that delays or deprives sustenance to potentially millions of people who desperately need it — and in some cases, die without it, according to interviews with dozens of U.S. officials and experts, and a review of decades worth of government studies and documents," write Ajai Sreevatsan and Robert Andersson in the opening piece.
A set of antiquated rules, maintained by the US Congress, mean that less food gets to the people who need it most, and often too late. According to the U.S. Agency for International Development, it takes an average of 69 days for food aid to go out for delivery. Then it takes another 51 days to reach people in need. A process, taking an average of four months to deliver what can be lifesaving assistance, is too slow when there is a an emergency.
The problem is well known by USAID itself. However, Food for Peace, the food aid program founded in 1954 to help U.S. farmers and foreign policy interests at the same time, requires American-made, shipped and handled food aid. Even when it is cheaper and faster to get food elsewhere, USAID is required to go through domestic suppliers.
"South Sudan and the Central African Republic are just the latest examples of the acute humanitarian need that exists around the world today. From Syria to Sudan to Ethiopia, from Yemen to the Democratic Republic of Congo to parts of the Sahel in West Africa, we are working swiftly to reach hungry people and saves lives. But as conflicts continue and the world sees more recurrent and dramatic weather events, we will need to meet ever-increasing demands on our emergency food accounts with flexibility and speed," said USAID Administrator Raj Shah in a statement accompanying White House-proposed reforms.
The agency website has a section describing the need to reform the U.S. food aid system, President Obama's proposals and why it is important. Two major proposals were made by the Obama administration: 1) Allow as much as 25 percent of emergency food aid to be spent locally or using alternatives, such as food vouchers and cash transfers; 2) All but eliminate monetization, the practice of selling U.S. food so organizations can fund their development work.
While the White House and USAID oppose the status quo, Congress continues to shun reforms. The shipping lobby is small and powerful. It successfully argues that cutting down on shipments from the United States will harm jobs. Members of Congress find the case compelling enough to reiterate and justify opposition to reform.
"There's another piece of this and that is in America; it's about American jobs and it's about the distribution of that American food, first grown by American farmers all over this nation, whether it's rice from California or wheat or corn from the Midwest. It's also about the transportation system and the jobs that go with it," said Rep. John Garamendi, D-Calif, to Medill/USA Today.
Opposition also comes from within the charitable sector. Monetization is a way that non-government organizations can make money to help fund their work. It is a controversial practice that NGOs such as Oxfam and CARE ceased doing years ago. To protect the practice of monetization, a lobby group called the Alliance for Global Food Security was formed to slow down the progress of reform. Its member organizations include World Vision, Food for the Hungry and ACDI/VOCA.
Fixing the problem is stalled because of what the report calls the "Iron Triangle" of special interests formed by the shippers, food producers and NGOs/government contractors. The Iron Triangle successfully fended off two attempts in the past 15 months by the Obama administration to enact food aid reforms. The group has successfully defended their interests for more than 10 years, but growing pressure may erode their influence.
The United States stands alone with its out-of-date food aid rules. Other countries, NGOs and the United Nations are using more innovative and cost-effective solutions to providing food assistance. In my next piece, I will report on promising evidence on cash transfers for refugees and in non-emergency situations.

It was not meant to be for the Atlanta Falcons Saturday in Philadelphia, as a fourth-down pass play to Julio Jones with 58 seconds fell short, and the Falcons lost a heartbreaker, 15-10 stopping them from a trip to the NFC championship game for a second straight season.
The Falcons couldn't get much going on offense despite holding a lead for most of the first half, but then the Eagles offense, led by a great effort by their O-line against the Falcons front, chipped away, kicking field goals to take a keep a lead.
Eagles kicker Jake Elliott kicked three field goals after missing an extra point earlier, which was enough to give Philly the lead they would not lose.
On that fateful fourth-down play to Jones there was no doubt there was contact Eagles defensive back Jalen Mills, but in the end Jones felt he should have made the play.
On the day Jones had 101 yards, but it was the final two that will go down as the two that lost the Falcons their chance to repeat as NFC Champions.

Poultry team carries on state convention tradition

Stacy Fritz's kids love to read poultry.
The members of Chatfield FFA advisor Fritz's poultry evaluation career development event (CDE) team competed last week at the Minnesota State FFA convention where the team has excelled for the past four years.
"The challenge of being on the poultry CDE is grading carcasses, but it's rewarding when each person on the team does well and then the team does well, too. We enjoy competing…there are many complicated aspects to the competition. We were looking forward to improving our placing from last year…I was ready for competition," said Chatfield High School senior Bennett Gathje.
He joined FFA as a seventh grader because he was familiar with the program since his brother was involved in it. Being in FFA and on the CDE team is "relaxing," he said and he appreciates that it allows him to compete in FFA. His participation in FFA and the CDE has taught him study skills and time management, meaning that once he and his teammates were finished with their contests at the state convention, they got to go bowling together. Still he has excelled as last year he got his State Degree, which is a highlight for him.
Junior Kaci Goldsmith has been an FFAer for five years and chose the poultry CDE because she raises chickens.
"In FFA, you learn leadership and speaking skills. I enjoy the state convention and the competitions…getting in the top five (ranking) for the past four years," she said. "We built a relationship with our team, and we know them well. At convention, I look forward to meeting new people, and my favorite part was bowling."
Alanna Goetzinger, also a junior, has been in FFA for five years and appreciates the poultry CDE because she has a brood of chickens, but also raises turkeys. She enjoys the state convention and other competitions.
"It's challenging…the stress and generally getting things wrong, but it's rewarding placing in the top five at state for four years," she said. "I hope to learn leadership and responsibility in FFA, and it's rewarding building relationships, too."
She was especially excited about attending the state FFA convention because she got to enjoy time with friends and make new ones. She also said she looked forward to the food and bowling.
Seventh grader Kelsi Goldsmith, Kaci's younger sister, has been in FFA for this school year and was pleased to be part of the poultry CDE to find out more about the birds she raises.
"I raise chickens, and I want to learn more about domestic fowl. I like candling eggs," she said.

Visit your past to help resolve issues you carry in your present. Visit your future to help make a decision, or guidance for the path to follow. Use the paragraph spacing as your signal to close your eyes and visualise the instructions, although this is aimed at being a 10 to 15 minute meditation, please stay in each section for as long as you wish to.
For this meditation we're going for a walk in a tranquil woodland..... So, start to relax by taking three deep breaths and, as you slowly release, think about letting go of all negativity. Let your body and mind relax. Any thoughts that pop into your head... Just let them drift out. Let go of as much mind chatter as you can, don't worry that you can't lose all of it......much of what's left will go when you focus on the meditation. When your breathing is back to a more more normal, relaxed pace, take your focus down through your body.....relaxing the shoulders.....arms.......your back......your abdomen.....relax hips.......thighs......calves......and feet..... Now close your eyes and conjure up a small glade..... Lush green grass bathed in warm sunlight......surrounded by leafy deciduous trees which are gently sparkling as the breeze tweaks the leaves and they catch the sunlight. Birds are singing and all is tranquil and beautiful. Take your time, add as much or as little detail as you wish.
When you're happy with your image look around for a path.....see one entering the wood. Take the path and follow it, pay attention to what it's like...... Wide or narrow? Grassy or stony? Are you walking past the trees easily?....or is it dense and difficult.... Keep following, looking around as you go. Woodland flowers and creatures may appear to you, interact with them if they do. Smell the flowers, stroke or even talk to any animals.....remember what they say. Again, take your time, things won't appear if you rush. Enjoy the walk, be happy and content. Feel the peace and tranquility within this woodland. Know that you're loved and safe in this spiritual area.
As you walk you see another path that that crosses your own. You look along this path to your left and see a fallen tree blocking that route... When you look right, that path also has a fallen tree across it. Both fallen trees are in their own special time zone.... The left path leads you to the future, while the right path leads to the past. Now you can decide which area of your time line you wish to visit.... Your past or your future. Whichever you choose, take the path to the fallen tree and sit, or lie down, by the log. Listen to the woodland sounds.... Relax..... Clear your mind as a gentle white mist begins to surround you. Allow the mist to rise and become more dense. The woodland is now hidden from your view, just the familiar sounds reassuring you that you are still safe here. Now look around, into the mist..... What do you see...... Be patient...... Breathe slowly..... Relax. It may be a colour, what does that colour mean to you. It may be a song that pops into your head, what are the lyrics saying. If a person or animal appears, interact with them. You may feel a strong emotion.... Go with it, let it lead you.
When you feel you are done, allow the mist to melt away, revealing the full beauty of the woodland once more. Return to the original path and make your way back to the sunny glade, Once there, open your eyes and shake out your hands. You may wish to write down your experience so you can reflect on it's meaning, particularly if you went to the future zone.

Android News / Hola VPN Extension Used For Botnet Attack On 8Chan
Hola VPN Extension Used For Botnet Attack On 8Chan
By Kishalaya Kundu
While VPNs mostly come as standalone programs for PC or mobile, one of the popular free VPNs called Hola Better Internet comes as a free browser extension and is available for Firefox and Chrome. The service however, doesn't route traffic through its own dedicated servers. Rather, it takes the peer-to-peer approach by routing all traffic through its users' computers, which in essence, turns every user's computer into a VPN server, thereby saving the VPN provider a lot of money in bandwidth cost, helping keep the service free, as bandwidth is generally the single largest overhead for any VPN service provider. Hola also offers a premium service for $5 per month, which grants access to the VPN without being a node in its P2P network. However, the free service has a 'feature' not all users might be familiar with. The feature is called Luminati, and it now seems as though at least one major botnet has used the network its resources – read the users – to attack websites.
Mr. Frederick Brennan, owner and founder of the controversial message board 8chan, reported that his site faced multiple DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks this week, which originated from the Luminati / Hola network. Mr. Brennan says, he found out that more than a thousand new accounts were created on his site within a very short span of time, driving a huge spike in traffic. On his blog, he wrote, "An attacker used the Luminati network to send thousands of legitimate-looking POST requests to 8chan's post.php in 30 seconds, representing a 100x spike over peak traffic and crashing PHP-FPM". The attack was reportedly carried out by someone using the handle BUI, and Hola's founder Mr. Ofer Vilenski claims that since terminating BUI's account, 8Chan has had no further problems.
Post this allegation, TorrentFreak interviewed Mr. Vilenski, who admitted selling his users' bandwidth, saying that the Luminati clause is present in the FAQs front and center. He also said that his company screens commercial users before letting them use the Hola network, and referred to BUI as an isolated case of someone with malicious intent somehow sneaking through. Mr. Vilenski also argued that the attack could have been carried out using any other VPN network, and there's nothing unique about Hola that needs to be addressed. However, the point that Mr. Vilenski might be missing is that other VPNs don't use the P2P protocol to route traffic. So there's no chance of any innocent user getting embroiled in any controversy or become an unwitting part of a botnet attack. While this unseemly episode does affect Hola's credibility, only time will tell whether it affects its business in times to come. As far as VPNs are concerned, there are plenty of options to choose from, and paid options can get users 100s of Gigabytes of usage per month for not more than just a few dollars.

I've always been a tech buff and have been building my own PCs since as far back as I can remember. My first computer was a home-built desktop running MS-DOS on which I learnt to program in GW-BASIC and my interests apart from technology include automobiles and sports.


The Greater Houston Partnership (GHP) helps build Houston's economy by joining like-minded business owners for fundraising, city planning, and ongoing development. The GHP hosts monthly luncheons, inviting Houstonians to share their stories about how they are helping shape Houston.
Gibson was the featured speaker in June 2017, sharing what it was like growing up an entrepreneur in Houston, helping one of Houston's billion-dollar companies find success through Customer Experience, and how a city art program is transforming neighborhoods throughout Houston.


Art Cube's 4th oneman was really fun :) For the first time it took place at Takadanobaba AREA, which is bigger than the previous livehouses where they've held their onemans. And a surprisingly large amount of people showed up.
We arrived a little early as we were supposed to meet up with several other fans (lots of familiar faces among the audience this time :) ), and had fun watching AREA's staff running after a cockroach that got into the livehouse. I think giant bugs is what I like the least about the summers in this country. (I'm from a really cold place, with few bugs, and those that exist are tiny).
As usual the songs they played during their solos (with the exception of Shizuki's drum solo, which I assume was something he put together himself), were all songs I recognized from somewhere, but couldn't quite place. Seiji had a guest musician for his song: Kengo on guitar. I wish Kengo could have participated more during the live, but appart from suddenly showing up out of nowhere during the middle of not exist, we didn't see more of him. Seiji seems to be incapable of learning lyrics that don't belong to his own band. Again he had to use lyric sheets for his solo. The other three partly played together before Seiji and Kengo appeared. After Shizuki was finished with his drum solo, Yossy and Nobu joined him, and they all did a short tune together before turning the spotlight, first to Yossy, and then on to Nobu.
Yossy looked like he was having the time of his life throughout the entire live. It was lots of fun to watch ^^ I hope he'll continue to feel as free and comfortable at future events too.
They debuted the title track of their new single, Kasoukyoku. I liked it a lot already upon the first listen, and keep listening to the CD now. It's a calmer song (balancing the more violent second track on the single). And now that we know the lyrics, all of Seiji's talk about how it's a "good smelling song" makes slightly more sense (?). It fits the late summer season. And I especially like how clearly you can hear both the vocals and keyboards here.
Finally we had a decent amount of people for not exist's moshing :D Again we had to practice it with Shizuki showing people what to do. And he got us to do even sillier stuff this time, but it's not embarrassing when most people around you are doing it anyway, so we just went with it ^^ (Certainly a lot better than last time when we were only five people). I think the band had even more fun than us during this song.
When Seiji appeared on stage again, people roared with cheers as they noticed the big white snake wrapped around him :D I can't remember the last time he brought Rem on stage, it's been more than a year now. It was so nice to see her again, even for just one song. She remained pretty calm throughout it, not trying to get down on the floor and just curiously flicking her tongue at the audience. For me, that really made the live complete. I like Rem a lot, and missed seeing/hearing her (They've had to remove the female voice from their songs now that she's not on stage anymore). They should do more photosets or videos with her.
Art Cube will be doing their annual anniversary oneman at Meguro Rock May Kan on December 12th. At this event there will be a pre-sale of a new single (no details announced yet), and participants will receive a digest DVD from yesterday's oneman live as a free gift. Tickets go on sale after the band's live at the same livehouse on September 7th. Unlike the previous onemans, this live will consist of two parts: The first part will be various session bands of the individual band members. The other part is Art Cube's live.
I'll post more details in the Art Cube LJ community.
It was loads of fun, indeed! I loved Yossy's delighted expression throughout the whole night. And Kengo looked amazing! I am still impressed about that.
Kengo did look amazing. It would be great if he surprised everyone and showed up like that for one of Moi dix Mois' lives.
Oh, lol. I meant to write False prayer on the list, but must have forgotten. I'll add it now.
Yossy kept getting in my way to do the furi properly.
I was afraid mostly fans would not show up because of that thing that happened at the Kaya concert, but I'm happy it didnt happen and the night was fun!
But thank you so much for the report and the news!
I've been listening to Kasoukyoku all day :) It's a really nice song. Hope the CD doesn't take too long to reach you. I hear shipments between Japan and Brazil can take a lot of time.
Kazune didn't appear on stage, but apparently he was back stage and took polaroid pictures with the others (That were sold at the goods table after the live).
I think his absence was the reason why Seiji had a solo this time.
Ever since Kazune got ill, they haven't mentioned him at all at lives. The only news on him is what he posts in his own blog.
I heard about the South American tour :) I hope everything works out this time, even though it's barely any time left till they're supposed to play there. Hopefully promotion will go quickly once they announce it.
I seem to have missed Kasoukyoku. Is it a live only release?
Yeah, it's supposed to be limited to this oneman only. They'll probably include the songs the next time they release an album though (whenever that will be).
And they might decide to sell it at other occasions, as they printed 300 copies of it and they can't even have sold half of that at this live.
I'm glad to hear that you had fun! Very nice that many people showed up! But cockroaches again, ewww.
Yossy looked like he was having the time of his life throughout the entire live.
But how does "good smelling song" make any sense? I've never heard such description, haha.
Is Rem very big? I would be so scared to even come close to the snake. I really admire Seiji for that!
I love how genuinely happy Yossy looks when he's having fun during lives. And as this live ended he looked down at me and my friend and mouthed "arigatou", which was really nice of him :) It's always good to know the band enjoy themselves as much as the fans do.
Rem is still growing. She appears smaller than she is as long as she's curled up around her owner. I've seen her stretched out and she's definitely outgrown Seiji with about a meter. And she's really heavy. I absolutely love her though (and big snakes in general), so I have no problems being right in front of her. I'm glad she didn't cause Seiji any trouble, or fell down on the floor this time.
Remembering through smell... Something like in Proust's Combray? I know that was through taste, but still both are senses. Involuntary memory, do you mean that?
Wow she's big! I wonder if it's hard for him to hold her if she's so heavy. Does she usually cause trouble to him?
She IS hard for him to hold, so she hadn't been with them on stage for more than a year. A couple of years ago she was present at every live, either wrapped around Seiji's arms and shoulders, or around the microphone stand. Then, as she got bigger, she would be too heavy for the mic stand (it fell over with her on it several times), and her weight and fast movements really caused Seiji trouble while singing. And during the MCs she would wrap herself around his neck, choking him so that he would start coughing and had to leave the stage for a while and put her back in her cage. There was also a couple of times when she managed to get down on the floor, and Seiji looked really worried whenever that happened (She can bite the fans etc.) and had to dive after her to get hold of her again. When she fell down, I could hear a loud thud even over the music playing.
I think I get it now! My grandparents have been living with me since I was small child, so I wouldn't really know the smell of their home. :/ But I do get the point.
>Seiji seems to be incapable of learning lyrics that don't belong to his own band. Again he had to use lyric sheets for his solo.
the Live was a lot of fun.
lol, Kamijo is a special case.
Seiji should be able to learn the lyrics of one single song when he's had months to prepare.

'Outlaw King': Chris Pine's full-frontal glory, epic war scenes, makes this Netflix movie a must-watch
Pine's performance stands out exceptionally and includes full frontal nudity, and an interesting Scottish accent
By Alakananda Bandyopadhyay
Published on : 16:52 PST, Nov 1, 2018
Attention, Chris Pine fans! Your time to rejoice is here as he is all geared up with his upcoming venture, 'Outlaw King,' which as per social media, is more gruesome than HBO's 'Game of Thrones.' An extension of the 1995 Mel Gibson masterpiece 'Braveheart' that won five Academy Awards, David Mackenzie's 'Outlaw King' revolves around the same story with a whole side of humor, a pinch of energy, and, of course, a golden trio when it comes to the main cast.
Starring alongside phenomenal actors like Aaron Taylor Johnson, Florence Pugh, and Stephen Dillane, aka our favorite Stannis Baratheon from 'Game of Thrones,' Pine's performance stands out exceptionally and includes full frontal nudity, and an interesting Scottish accent.
Yet, there's more to the story than some macho hunk with a swoon-worthy accent. This is Pine in all his rugged glory - a never-seen-before avatar that almost makes you want to overlook his clueless con-man act in the second Princess Diaries movie. And, to make it easier for fans to be convinced this is the one Netflix movie you need to watch for sure, here are five absolutely mesmerizing aspects of the film that will draw you in.
1. Chris Pine's full-frontal nudity
That's right. As Vulture would have you believe, Pine's penis dazzles in this war-drama. The news of his full-frontal nudity spread soon after the movie screened at the Toronto Film Festival. Following that, his fans took to social media to establish what a glorious opportunity this is. So, if you're a fan who wasn't aware of this chance until now, you should definitely not give 'Outlaw King' a miss.
2. Chris Pine's thick Scottish accent
The only thing that could probably serve as a cherry on top of that delicacy is Pine's thick European accent coming out of his mouth. And this time, it's Scottish - which inevitably brought in comparisons with 'Game of Thrones,' but we shall discuss that later. Right now, it's about Pine charging an army into battle as Robert the Bruce, the King of Scots. As the film tries to encompass the story of the king trying to regain control of Scotland, after being declared an outlaw by the King of England, everything is sort of made a million times more aesthetically pleasing with Pine's impression of a Scottish accent. You need to hear it now!
3. More brutal than 'Game of Thrones'
Marching a rebellion is not an easy feat, and also what's not easy is witnessing the blood, gore and violence the process of regaining Scotland would require. However, if neither of those morbid things bothers you, certain fans and critics have labeled 'Outlaw King' a more brutal assault than 'Game of Thrones.'
GoT already gave us a fair idea of exactly how firmly the Scottish believed in violence and exactly how prepared to be brutal they were at all times. And, the fact that history has documented the said 14th century battle the drama is going to depict, as one of the most visceral battles in the history of horrifying battles, it can be expected there will probably be a combined amount of gore and violence as has seen in the entirety of GoT so far.
4. A modern day take on 'Braveheart'
Like we had mentioned earlier, this extension of the story of 'Braveheart' has a more contemporary spin to it in the form of both humor, and execution. There's a certain energy to it that just oozes Oscar potential. And by that, we mean in a lot of the technical fields mostly, like costume design, cinematography, and, of course, production design. The fact that the experts in charge of those technicalities are all Emmy and Oscars award holders already, only shines the film's prospective journey to the Academy Awards more clearly.
5. Based on a true story
Now is probably the time that you would go "D'uh, it's a part of history"; but what's interesting is that this is probably one of the most defining differences that will set 'Outlaw King' apart from the already widely acclaimed 'Game of Thrones.'
GoT is fiction. And no matter how ruthlessly writer George R. R. Martin likes to sabotage the feelings of fans by brutally murdering characters, it's easier to watch the show and shrug it off because there's no concrete evidence to establish that a mother of three dragons or children of the forest, or a three-eyed raven ever existed in the form of humans. However, all of this blood and gore we are to witness in 'Outlaw King' likely happened, making it all the more horrifying.

India-Iran Joint Stamp Issue
India and Iran jointly dedicated the second joint stamp issue between the two countries on 17th February 2018. The stamps in two designed were dedicated by the Prime Minister of India and the President of Iran at a bilateral event in New Delhi, during the latter's State visit to India. This joint issuance celebrates the maritime trade links between India and Iran, showing ports. The Indian port of Deendayal Kandla and Iranian Beheshti Chabahar port are depicted on the two stamps in identical designs.
I don't have details for the Iranian version other than pictures of the souvenir sheet, first day cover and a postcard. Information sheet for the Indian version lists Kamleshwar Singh as the stamp/FDC designer and Alka Sharma made the cancellation design. India Post issued two stamps and a miniature sheet along with first day covers. The Indian stamps were printed in 0.501 million quantity for each design and 0.1 million miniature sheets. The stamps were printed at Security Printing Press, Hyderabad.
Joint Stamp Issue between Iran and India (2018): Kandla & Chabahar Ports
The stamps show a graphical representation of the two ports with ships and port equipment on both sides. Deendayal Kandla is a major port located in the Indian state of Gujarat in operation since the 1930s. India and Iran have been working on developing several births in Chabahar port in Iran and the first shipment of wheat was sent to Afghanistan from Kandla to Chabahar in late 2017. The Shahid Beheshti port in Chabahar, located in the Sistan & Baluchestan province is geographically close to India and at a geo-strategic location in the Gulf of Oman. The two countries are working to further develop this as an important trade route to reach the Central Asian markets.
The souvenir sheets have numerous port cranes in the background, line drawings of maps of both the ports on top and two historical monuments in the bottom. The two columns shown are the Ashokan Pillar from Vaishali, India and a Griffin column from Persepolis, Iran.
India and Iran had issued their first joint stamp issue, fourteen year ago, back in August 2004. This first set of stamps jointly commemorated famous poets from both nations - Hafiz from Iran and Kabir from India. I imagine that the details for this joint issue was worked out after the state visit of then Iranian President in January 2003.

RHODY RAMS, ALEX AND ANI LEAD CLOTHING DRIVE FOR HOMELESS VETERANS IN RHODE ISLAND
Five URI Men's Basketball Games to Host Initiative in Conjunction with Team Red, White & Blue
KINGSTON, R.I. – The University of Rhode Island Athletics, alongside corporate partner ALEX AND ANI, announced today a unique opportunity for Rams' fans to lend an assist through URI basketball that will directly benefit homeless veterans in the state.
At five select upcoming men's basketball games, fans are encouraged to bring with them to the Ryan Center clothing, hats, gloves, coats, T-shirts, socks, shoes or other items that they can donate for veterans in need. The nationally known organization Team Red, White & Blue (Team RWB) will be collecting all donated items at marked tables in the concourse at the following games:
– Saturday, Dec. 16 @ 4 p.m. ET vs. College of Charleston
– Thursday, Dec. 21 @ 7 p.m. ET vs. Iona
– Wednesday, Dec. 27 @ 7 p.m. ET vs. Florida Gulf Coast
– Saturday, Dec. 30 @ 4 p.m. ET vs. George Mason
– Wednesday, Jan. 3, 2018 @ 7 p.m. ET vs. La Salle
When the Rams play host to St. Bonaventure at 11 a.m. ET on January 13, there will be an on-court presentation with representatives from ALEX AND ANI and Team RWB, featuring videos and photos highlighting the clothing drive initiative. Since 2012, ALEX AND ANI has been a partner of Team RWB, which is focused on enriching the lives of America's veterans by working with various corporate and individual supporters through sponsorship, cause-marketing and community events.
"In this season of giving, it's important to remember our nation's heroes and the sacrifices they have made," said Colleen Fugere, Vice President of Partnerships and Brand Licensing at ALEX AND ANI. "Through our partnership with Team RWB, we are able to truly make a difference in the lives of veterans who have done so much for our country and our freedoms."
"Without question, the support and generosity of Rhody Rams' corporate partners is a tremendous add value to athletics programming and philanthropic efforts like what ALEX AND ANI has chosen to do at these five home games," said Devin Berg, general manager for Learfield's Rhody Sports Properties, the university's athletics multimedia rightsholder. "Our hope is that fans will really embrace this opportunity to give back, and we look forward to generating huge bins of donated items that Team Red, White & Blue can use in their efforts with veterans all throughout Rhode Island."
ALEX AND ANI, committed to philanthropy for years, also will be providing a single bangle to the first 100 Rams' fans who donate to this hoops initiative. Additionally, everyone donating items prior to one of the five games at Ryan Center will be entered to win a VIP prize package, which includes two courtside seats to the January 13 game against St. Bonaventure.

Piper Kerman Quotes
If I could forgive, it meant I was a strong good person who could take responsibility for the path I had chosen for myself, and all the consequences that accompanied that choice. And it gave me the simple but powerful satisfaction of extending a kindness to another person in a tough spot.
Piper Kerman
Strong, Powerful, Kindness
Piper Kerman (2010). "Orange Is the New Black: My Year in a Women's Prison", p.280, Spiegel & Grau
Our current criminal justice system has no provision for restorative justice, in which an offender confronts the damage they have done and tries to make it right for the people they have harmed. [...] Instead, our system of "corrections" is about arm's-length revenge and retribution, all day and all night.
Revenge, Night, People
"Orange Is the New Black: My Time in a Women's Prison". Book by Piper Kerman, July 11, 2013.
Instead, our system of "corrections" is about arm's-length revenge and retribution, all day and all night. Then its overseers wonder why people leave prison more broken than when they went in.
3 Copy quote
Prison is quite literally a ghetto in the most classic sense of the word, a place where the U.S. government now puts not only the dangerous but also the inconvenient—people who are mentally ill, people who are addicts, people who are poor and uneducated and unskilled. Meanwhile the ghetto in the outside world is a prison as well, and a much more difficult one to escape from than this correctional compound. In fact, there is basically a revolving door between our urban and rural ghettos and the formal ghetto of our prison system.

When you are deep in misery, you reach out to those who can help, people who can understand.

I went back to work right away [after prison]. I was very lucky — a friend of mine created a job for me at his company. Most prisoners who come home face really significant challenges when it comes to finding work. It's very, very hard for most people who have a criminal record to get a job. I think the system is very wasteful of taxpayers' dollars. It's also very wasteful of human potential. I found that most people whom I was locked up with were, you know, good people who have skills and value. Prison is a missed opportunity to nurture those things.
Jobs, Home, Opportunity
We were never friends. Not for a second. I loved you.
Love, I Loved You
From a young age I had learned to get over--to cover my tracks emotionally, to hide or ignore my problems in the belief that they were mine alone to solve.
Track, Age, Belief
I knew that I would have to be brave. Not foolhardy, not in love with risk and danger, not making ridiculous exhibitions of myself to prove that I wasn't terrified--really genuinely brave. Brave enough to be quiet when quiet was called for, brave enough to observe before flinging myself into something, brave enough to not abandon my true self when someone else wanted to seduce or force me in a direction I didn't want to go, brave enough to stand my ground quietly.
Self, Brave, Risk
Do you have to find the evil in yourself in order to truly recognize it in the world?

Very close by the CMS shops, hidden about a quarter mile away in the woods, was the prison's rifle range. Correctional officers could spend quality time with their firearms down there, and the hammering of multiple rounds was typical background noise during our workdays. There was something unsettling about toiling away for a prison while listening to your jailers practice shooting you.

That's very indicative to me of one of the things that really creates an aversion for me about having a child - this idea that every decision you make in your life has to be dictated by the child.

Children, Believe, Responsibility
