Q: If And condition with arrays I have three columns A B and C. In some cases only B has a value. In the example below only the rows 2 and 4 should be considered, and then depending on their value their corresponding cell in the D column is given a certain value (corresponding to the two arrays below).
     A      B       C       D
1    x      y       z
2           b               2
3    t              v
4           e               5
5    g      h       i

I'm not certain what's the best approach for this. I declared the necessary arrays, but I don't know how to meet the "if cell in A and cell in C is empty..." condition.
    Dim Kol() As Variant: Kol = VBA.Array(1,2,3) ' I don't know if it makes sense to include columns A and C here
    Dim Faelle() As Variant: Faelle = VBA.Array( _
        "a", "b", "c", "d", "e")
    Dim Werte() As Variant: Werte = VBA.Array( _
        "1", "2", "3", "4", "5")

A: Lookup Data: Variant Arrays with Application.Match
Sub LookupData()

    Dim Faelle() As Variant: Faelle = VBA.Array("a", "b", "c", "d", "e")
    Dim Werte() As Variant: Werte = VBA.Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)

    Dim wb As Workbook: Set wb = ThisWorkbook ' workbook containing this code
    Dim ws As Worksheet: Set ws = wb.Worksheets("Sheet1")
    Dim rg As Range: Set rg = ws.Range("A1").CurrentRegion

    Dim rCount As Long: rCount = rg.Rows.Count - 1 ' exclude headers
    Dim srg As Range: Set srg = rg.Resize(rCount).Offset(1) ' no headers
    Dim sData() As Variant: sData = srg.Resize(, 3).Value ' first 3 columns

    Dim dData() As Variant: ReDim dData(1 To rCount, 1 To 1)

    Dim nIndex As Variant, r As Long, rString As String

    For r = 1 To rCount
        rString = CStr(sData(r, 1))
        If Len(rString) = 0 Then
            rString = CStr(sData(r, 3))
            If Len(rString) = 0 Then
                rString = CStr(sData(r, 2))
                If Len(rString) > 0 Then
                    nIndex = Application.Match(rString, Faelle, 0)
                    If IsNumeric(nIndex) Then dData(r, 1) = Werte(nIndex - 1)
                End If
            End If
        End If
    Next r

    Dim drg As Range: Set drg = srg.Columns(4)
    drg.Value = dData

End Sub

Of course, you can shorten the loop by losing the rString variable and using the And operator in the following way:
For r = 1 To rCount
    If Len(CStr(sData(r, 1))) = 0 And Len(CStr(sData(r, 3))) = 0 _
            And Len(CStr(sData(r, 2))) > 0 Then
        nIndex = Application.Match(CStr(sData(r, 2)), Faelle, 0)
        If IsNumeric(nIndex) Then dData(r, 1) = Werte(nIndex - 1)
    End If
Next r

Student wins gold key portfolio, others take home awards in national contest

Revere had sixteen key winners (Lilly Oldham not pictured).

Every year since 1923, judges have awarded certificates to high school students who demonstrate talent and achievement in the areas of art and writing. The Scholastic Art Awards competition, judged by professors and retired art teachers, celebrates its 95th anniversary this year. The Alliance for Young Artists and Writers presents these awards. Many famous artists and writers such as Andy Warhol, Sylvia Plath, and Ken Burns have received awards from the competition. Through this competition, senior Camille Volk has won multiple awards in the last four years including a gold key portfolio.
Out of the 102 pieces of art Revere entered this year, 69 pieces received awards. Revere students won 9 gold keys, 20 silver keys, 40 honorable mentions, and a gold key portfolio. According to the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, "A gold key is the very best works submitted to local programs. Gold key works are automatically considered for national–level recognition, silver key are stand-out works submitted to local programs that demonstrate exceptional ability, honorable mentions are accomplished works submitted to local programs showing great skill and potential and American Visions & Voices Nominee are five works, from across all categories and grades, are selected from those earning gold keys as the 'Best-of-Show' for each local program as nominees for the American Visions & Voices Medals."
Revere art and photography teacher Robert Pierson talked about Scholastics and gave his definition of the competition and he also talked about how receiving an award for your work or having it displayed means something and can be important to young artists.
"Scholastics Art Awards is a national competition. . . . It is the oldest and most prestigious art competition in the United States. Getting your stuff on the wall or in the display case. . . . It means something, and in scholastics it means you are in the top 10% of five counties, and the stuff entered is the best stuff the school has," Pierson said.
Senior Camille Volk entered a portfolio which received a gold key. This year, only 11 of 83 submitted portfolios achieved this honor. Her portfolio consisted of 8 colored pencil pieces that will showcase at Kent State Stark campus and will then compete for National Honors in New York City. Pierson talked about Volk's portfolio and gave information on how she built on ideas that she had in previous years.
"Camille got a national silver key last year. One of those works in her portfolio was a national silver key, and she worked hard to build on the same idea that complimented her work last year, so it would look like one body of work that went together," Pierson said.
Volk, who has been involved with art since kindergarten, has loved to draw and paint from a very young age. She took lessons for a year or two when she was the young age of five and six. While in middle school, she had an art teacher, Mrs. Kibbler, who helped her experiment with processes most young kids do not experience until early adulthood. She dedicates her art skills to the techniques she has learned throughout her years of practice, and the opportunities she has had.
"My ability to draw comes from hours of experimentation, practicing different techniques and exposure to opportunities to learn more," Volk said.
Aside from drawing, Volk is Co-president of NAHS, founder and president of Revere athletic leadership council, and two year swim team captain.Volk is also a member of student council and NHS.
The judges this year accepted 11 portfolios of those submitted and Volk commented on how much winning this award means to her. Revere has not won an award for a portfolio since 2013.
"[Of the 11 chosen,] having one of them be my work means the world to me, and that every minute struggling over a color or shape was worth it. It is such a huge honor to get this award," Volk said.
The portfolio Volk put together focused on hands and dramatic lighting. Each piece took her one to three months to complete and she has been working on these pieces for a year and a half.
Volk took Elements of Art A and B her freshman year, allowing her to take drawing and design sophomore year. Afterwards she took AP drawing as a junior which lead to AP 2-D design as a senior. Volk commented on how taking these classes allowed her to work on her portfolio.
"Having two years of AP art really helped generate the time I needed to put together the portfolio." Volk said.
Volk loves each piece in her portfolio for a different reason, some for the colors or contrast and others because of the composition or subject. A fan favorite in this award winning portfolio is a piece titled "Chance Creek Blues." Volk's favorite technique, called rendering, requires her to take multiple photos and then she draws the most interesting photo taken.
Over the last four years, Volk has received one gold key portfolio, four gold keys, three silver keys and one honorable mention. Volk, though undecided about what she will do after high school, plans to continue to draw and sketch, but hopes to major in chemical engineering.
Sophomore Ana Hair, also receiving multiple awards, won seven honorable mentions along with a gold key. She talked about what winning a gold key and seven honorable mentions meant to her and how it helped her want to pursue a career in photography.
"The award kind of just finalized what I'm good at and what I'm probably going to do later on," Hair said.
Earning a gold key portfolio is considered a high honor, and winning any other award in scholastics is considered a high achievement as well. Over half of the pieces entered by Revere students won awards and the exhibition of all gold key, silver key, and gold key portfolios were on display January 17 through February 1 at Kent State University at Stark.

Atif Aslam in his recent interview with Daily Times praised Meesha Shafi for her song 'Bijli aye ya na aye' in Hollywood movie The Reluctant Fundamentalist.
Atif said that his experience while working with these artists was tremendous. He get to learn a lot from these artists and their different genres. Anyhow, this was another great example of co-operation from Atif towards other artists and shows that our artists really work hard to make the country proud in all over the world.

Gods of Egypt. Egypt is in Europe right?
Filed to:gods of egypt
Well. This is getting a little ridiculous. I feel like this is a parody somebody is making up to make fun of racebending in Hollywood. Gods of Egypt, a movie about literal Gods of Egypt not some metaphor or something, has cast their Ra in their form of Geoffrey Rush.
He will join Gerard Butler playing Set and Nicolaj Coster-Waldau playing Horus in the upcoming Alex Proyas film. Here is a summary.
The film's plot concerns the Egyptian god Set killing his brother, the underworld deity Osiris. Osiris' son Horus then attempts to avenge his father by killing his uncle, but succeeds only in having his eyes plucked out. Still determined to stop the mad Set, Horus joins forces with the love goddess Hathor and a human thief who happens to be in love with a slave.
So we still don't know who Hathor, human thief, or the slave will be played by but my guess based on the casting so far is two white people and a black person as the slave. Or Hathor as the token black character. Time will tell whether this train wreck will plow into the orphanage or into the Happy Puppy Home. But maybe I am pessimistic.
Now some of you may say "But Irae Nicole! Idris Elba was cast as Norse god, Heimdal! That is the same thing!" To that I say.
Heimdall was one Norse God out of a bunch of white ones and I wouldn't say a major part of the movie (unfortunately). Here it is predominantly white cast so far playing major roles in the movie. Ra is lead god so I imagine he will be important though he isn't in the summary.
They aren't even real Norse gods in films.
Representation. One white character changed to be a person of color? Doesn't hurt representation of white people in films. Change a few characters to make them white? Hurts representation of people of color.
Unfortunate Implications. Either the people of Egypt are going to be white. Or more likely, they aren't but they all worship a bunch of white people.

South Korean president Moon Jae-in gives a speech in the North Korean capital Pyongyang, Sept. 19, 2018.
The positive response shown by North Korean citizens to a speech given this month in Pyongyang by South Korean president Moon Jae-in has alarmed security officials in the North, who now fear a loss of prestige by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, sources in the country say.
Moon's seven-minute speech before an audience of 150,000 on September 19 touched on themes popular with the crowd: the shared ethnic heritage of Koreans in both countries, the desire for peace and unification, and North Korea's prosperity.
Speaking to RFA's Korean Service, a source in Pyongyang said that Moon's speech drew an enthusiastic response.
"People are now expressing positive opinions about the address given by the South Korean president to Pyongyang residents during the North-South Summit," RFA's source said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
"Some are even saying that it reminded them of the day when the Supreme Leader Kim Il Sung gave a triumphant speech in Pyongyang after we gained independence," he said, referring to the founding of the North Korean state following Japan's defeat in the Second World War.
The Pyongyang citizens who heard Moon speak were all carefully selected to attend the speech, which was designated a No. 1 event because North Korean national leader Kim Jong Un was also scheduled to attend, RFA's source said.
"But since they later told their close family members and friends that they were able to feel the sincerity of the South Korean president's speech, the North Korean authorities are concerned about this," he said.
North Korea's State Security Department now worries that public sentiment in Pyongyang may be favoring the South Korean president over Kim Jong Un, he said.
Also speaking to RFA, a source in North Pyongan province, bordering China, said that he had recently spent an entire day talking with relatives from Pyongyang about South Korea's president and the speech that he gave.
"The flow of the No. 1 event, including the cheering for the South Korean president's speech, had all been planned beforehand," RFA's source said.
"But many of those who participated say that they applauded from their heart after hearing [Moon's] humble and heartfelt speech," he said.

Participants are rewarded with a ticket to an exclusive concert featuring high profile artists. The only way to get to the concert is to participate in an Apprentice Nation Action Day. Nearly 1000 young people applied for the project earlier this year which culminated in a concert starring Grammy nominated, alternative R&B artist 6LACK and Apprentice Nation have since gained the support of BT for their dates in Manchester.
Apprentice Nation is the coming together of RockCorps, who have a proven track record of inspiring young people to take action through music concerts, and WhiteHat, Euan Blair and Sophie Adelman's start-up building an outstanding alternative to university through apprenticeships. Apprentice Nation's mission is to engage a generation of potential future leaders who see apprenticeships as their route to success.
Stephen Greene, CEO of RockCorps and Producer of Apprentice Nation, said:
"We're thrilled to be bringing Apprentice Nation to Manchester with the support of BT. Our aim is to excite and engage young people from all walks of life to get a job they love. We want to shine a light on all that that apprenticeships have to offer."
Euan Blair, CEO of WhiteHat and Producer of Apprentice Nation said:
"We plan to bring White Hat to Manchester in 2020, so what better way to announce our arrival than starting with Apprentice Nation."
Pete Jeavons, Marketing Communications Director, BT said:
"Our unique partnership with Apprentice Nation will help us inspire more young people to get involved with apprenticeships and get the skills they need to succeed. BT is one of the largest employers of apprentices in the UK, and this partnership will help get even more young people from a broader range of backgrounds excited about the opportunities that apprenticeships can create."
Jada took part in Apprentice Nation, London and says:
"I'm so grateful that I could be part of Apprentice Nation. It was really enlightening and gave me the confidence and reassurance that I needed to decide against university. It even ended with an intimate concert featuring 6LACK. I've come a long way already and am on my way to securing a great apprenticeship. I can't wait to start!"
Apprentice Nation Action Days will be held across the region from 2 November 2019 up until 8 December 2019 and will offer invaluable advice on apprenticeships and career advice such as how to network and how to make yourself stand out, as well as offering interview tips and guidance.

Don Ballard, the 2019 Evergreen Fair Honoree, talks about a fair logo cross-stitch piece he made at his home on Thursday, March 21, 2019 in Everett, Wash. (Olivia Vanni / The Herald)
He found family — and 100 rabbits — through the Evergreen Fair
Don Ballard, who has volunteered at the event for about 30 years, was named this year's Fair Honoree.

Local NewsEverettMonroe
EVERETT — Don Ballard can't say no when it comes to the Evergreen State Fair.
When the rabbit 4-H program needed a superintendent to manage entries, Ballard never said yes to the opportunity.
But he didn't say no.
He's now held the position for 21 years, and he doesn't plan to give it up anytime soon.
"I just have too much fun," he said.
Ballard is this year's Fair Honoree.
His 33-year connection to the event began with a bunny. Then 20 bunnies. Then 50.
When his son was in first grade, Ballard and his wife, Terri, took him to the fair. He spent nearly the whole trip with the rabbits in the petting zoo.
Don Ballard shows a crocheted doily that he made for the fair that was featured in The Daily Herald at his home on Thursday, March 21, 2019 in Everett, Wash. (Olivia Vanni / The Herald)
Using the excuse they couldn't have bunnies in their suburban Everett neighborhood, Ballard squelched his son's requests for a hopper of his own for about a year. Then the boy discovered their next door neighbor had some.
The Ballards had their own rabbit within a month.
"I lost that argument," Don Ballard said, chuckling.
His daughter soon joined in the craze, and the two got involved in 4-H. During peak breeding season in the spring, Ballard said they had up to 100 bunnies in a shed he specially build in the backyard. They had to get a livestock permit.
That's when Ballard decided to get involved himself.
"If I had to take the kids to rabbit shows, I might as well have something to show as well," he said.
He settled on Flemmish Giants. The puppy-sized thumpers can reach 24 pounds and love to cuddle, he said.
Ballard's fair involvement didn't end with bunnies. He's also a blue-ribbon winner in many display exhibits, including cross stitch, crochet and canning.
He learned to crochet from his aunt when he was 5, and to knit from his mother the next year.
A retired Boeing engineer, Ballard used the hobby to relax at the end of a long day.
"It kept my hands and my mind going while I calmed down," he said.
The evidence is everywhere in the family's home. Award-winning needle artwork is displayed on the walls, and hundreds of "de-stressing" doilies fill bags and boxes.
About 15 years ago, a position opened up on the fair board.
Once again, Ballard didn't say no.
This is his first year off the board after hitting term limits. He said he's not against running again in the future.
Ballard's wife has been right there along with him. She's entered needle works in the fair as well, and helped out with the rabbit 4-H contests.
Long after their kids — now in their 30s — stopped competing in the fair, the Ballards said the people keep them coming back.
"It's a fair family," Don Ballard said. "Every year, it's like a big family reunion."

I mean, normally it's the Solemnity of the Annunciation but we'll be observing that tomorrow in the Church.
What...you don't know? You don't know that one year ago today I started this here little blog?
Well, neither was I, so I guess we're cool.
I just realized it yesterday, in fact. But I guess I should take a little pride in the fact that I made it a whole year without freaking out that people could -gasp!- read what I write and know a bit of what is in this crazy head of mine. Okay, sometimes I did freak out a little. But I didn't stop. I hope this blog has been edifying to your soul and drawn you into a deeper spiritual awakening that blew your mind. And if not, I hope that you were at least entertained by cute pictures of my kids.
Either one, I'm not picky.
So today we will be celebrating. And by celebrating I mean begging God for Luke to sleep while I try to make dinner and take care of the two middle boys while Brian takes John Paul rock climbing and I try not to fall asleep while standing up since our little sleepy Luke-baby has decided to revolt from his previous awesome sleep-through-the-night gig. It's gonna rock. You should totally come.
But I do really hope that this blog has blessed others. I used to be super confident in sharing my writing and thoughts and feelings and I lost that somewhere along the way. This blog here has been a scary little experiment of mine to put myself out there again and invite people to hang with me. It's also been an attempt to live simply, more intentionally, and joyfully while chronicling this beautiful life I've been given (bam! 20 points worth of blog-speak words right there...see, I'm getting good).
And also I thought it looked cool and fun to have a blog.
In the process, I've met some pretty awesome beautiful people for whom I am very grateful.
Thank you for the number of people who have been coming to visit. Thank you especially for when you encourage me in this little endeavor. I'm grateful for you and for this blessed life I get to live.
Happy 1 year of blogging! It has been a blessing to me to hear from you and get a glimpse into your daily lives. Keep it up!
We are going rock climbing today, too.
Happy Anniversary - or is it Happy Birthday - you know what I mean!
I have enjoyed your blog, although I am a new admirerer. Your pictures are beautiful, and your thoughts - lovely.

Family Issue (Bella Books) is set in southern Louisiana, near the Gulf of Mexico. Denni Hope, who grew up near Fortune Farm, has been asked by her ex-girlfriend, Patty Price, to investigate a rash of violence and vandalism which is plaguing the farm. Denni is a trained insurance investigator, and is quite willing to use her skills to help Patty. She is not sure, however, how she'll feel about seeing Patty with Yolanda Elliott, the woman Patty left her for.
Denni finds there has been plenty of violence and vandalism on the farm. Tractors have had their gas tanks sugared, baby goats have been poisoned, and Kissy, the adopted daughter of Patty and Yolanda, was hit in the back of her head and thrown into the bayou. Patty and Yolanda are grateful for the early swimming lessons they gave the four-year-old! All of this is puzzling to Denni, as the Price family has always been well liked in the community.
Burns has populated her book with some delightful characters. Solange is a wonderfully over the top drag queen. The character, Ainchez Paulus, has opened her home daily to a wide variety of people, especially those who are not easy to pigeonhole, and also to young people. Her salons have become a good place to meet people, and to hear the latest news. Denni, although she has been gone for five years, is welcomed back into the fold. It is after attending one of these salons that Denni returns to Patty and Yolanda's to find that a college friend of Yolanda's has dropped by for a visit. Bonita Corcaran, a police officer from Richmond, VA., is drop dead gorgeous! "Bone" and Denni have instant chemistry.
Bone and Denni team up to try to figure out why things keep happening at Fortune Farm. As they walk the acres, readers are able to get a picture of the landscape: the lake, bayou, sink holes filled with quick sand, and the profitable fields with alfalfa and sugar cane. They also speak with the farm workers, asking what they have seen and/or heard. As they work to put the pieces together, they also question what is happening to the family. John Clyde, Patty's brother, seems angry, and he is drinking every evening. Patty and John Clyde both miss their mother who died a year ago. His drinking, however, is becoming more and more obvious.
As the mysteries build, and tension mounts, one night Kissy disappears from her bedroom. As the police and the family search for Kissy, family secrets are revealed, and the plot builds to a surprising climax.
Nat Burns is an award winning author with seven published novels. Family Issue is a fun novel of romantic intrigue, as well as an armchair trip to the Deep South, without the mosquitoes and alligators!

Stig Arne Ragnar Aspelin, född 28 maj 1911 i Helsingborgs stadsförsamling, Helsingborg, död 8 september 1990 i Limhamns församling, Malmö, var en svensk konstnär.

Han var son till stewarden Hjalmar Aspelin och Anna Simonson och från 1945 gift med Kerstin Thunell. Aspelin började arbeta som reklamtecknare och yrkeslitograf innan han studerade konst vid Skånska målarskolan i Malmö 1930 samt under studieresor till Tyskland och Frankrike. Han debuterade i en utställning med Skånes konstförening 1935 och medverkade därefter i föreningens höstutställningar regelbundet samt i olika samlingsutställningar på landsorten. Tillsammans med Gustaf Sjöö ställde han ut på Färg och Form i Stockholm 1938 och tillsammans med Gunnar Ekdahl i Ystad 1948. Hans konst består av stilleben, figurkompositioner, porträtt, gatuscener och landskapsmålningar i olja, akvarell eller tempera. Som illustratör illustrerade han L Larssons Röd lyckta 1950 och för Södra teatern i Malmö utförde han några dekorationer för revyscenen. Aspelin är representerad vid Malmö museum och Ystads konstmuseum.

BANGKOK — Medical marijuana will be available in Thailand nine months from now, a top health official announced Tuesday.
After the cabinet moved to legalize the use of medical cannabis, Sophon Mekthon of the Public Health Ministry said the law will come into effect April 2019.
He said that the junta-appointed legislature accepted his office's proposal last month on a schedule to implement the policy following successful testing of cannabis to treat several conditions.
Thailand's own studies confirmed that marijuana can be used to treat three illnesses, namely nausea and loss of appetite for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, epilepsy in children and multiple sclerosis.
A Wednesday poll by Matichon Online found a majority of respondents agreed with the plan.
Marijuana isn't the only drug under review for criminalization since the former head of the Justice Ministry declared the war on drugs a failure two years ago. In May, the nation's top anti-narcotics officer proposed legalizing kratom, an herbal stimulant in wide use.


Nuts, nut products and seeds was the top food product category recalled in Europe, according to a second quarter index by Stericycle Expert Solutions.
The category, with 156 recalls, came ahead of fruits and vegetables with 118 recalls and fish and fish products with 81 recalls. Nuts, nut products and seeds was also the top category in the first quarter with 24.9 percent (183) of recalls and notifications.
All food and beverage recalls and notifications, including feed and food contact materials, increased 15.8 percent to 945. This figure is the sixth highest of all time. Such recalls and notifications had decreased to 816 in the first quarter, which was the lowest level since Q1 2017.
The food and beverage part of Stericycle's European Recall and Notification Index is based on data from the EU's RASFF rapid alert system.
Turkey was the top country of origin for food recalls and notifications for the third consecutive quarter with 74 such notices.
France was second with 55 recalls and notifications, India and China both had 46 while the United States had 43.
Brazil, which was third in the first quarter largely due to EU sanctions on meat, dropped out of the top five.
This was also seen as fish and fish products replaced poultry and poultry meat products in third position of the top food categories by number of recalls.
Bacterial contamination because of pathogens such as Salmonella, E. coli and Listeria monocytogenes was the top cause of food recalls for the sixth quarter in a row. Chemicals were second in the causes for recalls followed by aflatoxins.
Bacterial contamination was also the top cause of recalls of Food and Drug Administration-regulated foods in the United States.
More than 99 percent of the food units recalled in the second quarter were pulled because of pathogens. However, the majority of the 147 recalls under the FDA's authority were caused by undeclared allergens. For foods regulated by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the top reason for recalls was foreign material.

Die Stele von Gövelek ist eine rechteckige Stele mit halbrundem Abschluss. Sie wurde 2002 am Gövelek Gölü gefunden. Sie stammt von dem urartäischen König Rusa Erimenaḫi.

Inhalt
Die Stele erwähnt den Bau eines Stausees, der das "Land vor dem Berg Qilbani" (vielleicht der Zimzim Dağ) bewässerte. Es kann sich dabei um den Göveleksee, den Keşiş Gölü oder die Stauseen von Köşebaşı, Kurubaşı und Sihke handeln.

Bedeutung
Die Stele ist von entscheidender Bedeutung für die Interpretation der späteren Geschichte des urartäischen Reiches, da sie belegt, dass der nach der Herrschaft von Rusa II. angenommene Niedergang nicht so einschneidend war, wie bisher behauptet. Altan Çilingiroğlu argumentiert auf Grund der Inschrift für eine frühere Datierung von Rusa Eremenaḫi, aber auch die ohne überzeugende archäologische Belege akzeptierte Behauptung eines Skytheneinfalles wäre zu überdenken.

« Previous Game: "Poison Snake"
This is a feat for several performers–from five to fifty or more and is suitable for the gymnasium. The players stand in a line one behind another with a short distance between. Each player bends forward and stretches one hand backward between his legs while with the other hand he grasps that of the player in front who has assumed the same position. When all are in position the line begins backing the player at the rear end of the line lying down on his back and the next player walking backward astride over him until he can go no farther when he also lies down with the first players head between his legs. This backing and lying-down movement continues until all the players are lying in a straight line on the floor. Then the last one to lie down gets up and walks astride the line toward the front raising the man next behind him to his feet and so on until all again are standing in the original position. The grasp of hands is retained throughout.


Though beach cover ups are completely unnecessary since clothing or a large towel also suffice for covering your body on your way to the beach, they can be a lot of fun. It's nice to have something that can be thrown on and taken off simply, while lightly covering you up from the sun just in case you need some shade during the day. Kimono's were all over the place last year, and it seems that we haven't seen the last of them yet. I had plans to travel with my family to a resort in Arizona this year for Spring break, so I decided I needed this poolside staple in my suitcase!
I designed this kimono based off of some other tutorials I found, but with my own twist. Most kimonos have shorter sleeves and do not include a tie at the middle, but I thought the longer sleeve would be great for when the sun starts to set and it gets a little chilly, and the tie makes it a bit more modest for running around a resort near fancy restaurants and such.
Since I love a little girly flair, I chose this beautiful, white eyelet cotton that has a circle pattern that's perfect for making scallops. I also added a little ruffle to the bottom, mostly because I was still totally obsessing over my ruffled peplum top from a few weeks ago.
Get going on this project so you have it ready for Summer at the beach! P.S. I have so many projects coming up for y'all that are very Summery and wonderful, can't wait! Scroll below to see the full tutorial.
1. Fold your fabric in half along the short side and cut out one BACK, two FRONTs, two ARMs, one RUFFLE, and three TABs as shown above. The width of the BACK will be from shoulder to shoulder plus 8″ (this was 24″ for me, 12″ on the fold). The width of the ARM will be the size of your bicep plus about 15″ (this was 24″ for me).
2. With the right sides of the fabric facing one another, pin the shoulders of the BACK to the shoulders of the two FRONT pieces. Sew along these seams.
3. Unfold the BACK and FRONT pieces with the back side of the fabric facing up. Line up the width of the ARM with the sides of the BACK and FRONT so that it is centered on the seam and sew along this edge for each sleeve.
4. Fold the kimono so the right sides of the fabric are touching one another and sew along the underside of the sleeves and down each side of the body. Flip the kimono right side out.
5. To create the ruffle, run the RUFFLE fabric through the sewing machine with one straight stitch without tying off the ends (do not back stitch). By doing this, you can then hold one thread and pull on the other and scrunch the material to create a ruffle. Scrunch the material to about 44″ long. Connect the RUFFLE by lining up the RUFFLE sewn edge with the bottom of the kimono on the right side of the fabric and sew a straight stitch along the already created stitch of the RUFFLE.
6. To create the drawstring, sew the TABs to the inside of the kimono at the waist with one seam on the top and bottom along the 4″ side. Two should be at the front of the kimono at the opening and one should be at the back. Sting the cotton cord through these slots and tie knots at the ends.
7. To complete the look, hem the opening of the kimono, and cut around the circular pattern of the fabric at the ends of the sleeves and the bottom of the ruffle to make scallops. Nicely enough, this embroidered eyelet fabric will stay together around the scallops without you having to stitch it, but if you have a serger I would use this on the edge to make it machine washable.
Throw this kimono on any time you head to the beach to keep you warm from any cool breezes and modest when walking around in public!

Q: Get Date and Time in Objective-c I'd like to have three labels in my application, the first shows the time, the second shows the day and the third shows the month. Now I know how to get the current date with NSDate and date formats and all, but how can I update the day when another day begins? And the same with months? And NSDate shows what time it is, but I'm looking to do a digital clock, how would I go on about that? Thanks in advance!

A: Your question is really broad and questions like this have been asked on S.O. many times.
like here -> how to create a digital clock with custom images for hours and seconds in iphone
and here -> iPhone Digital Clock
Here is a tutorial on how to create an analog clock for iOS -> http://iphone-dev-tips.alterplay.com/2010/03/analog-clock-using-quartz-core.html

A: I don't know if your system follow POSIX standards, but if it does you might consider using the gettimeofday system call and the localtime and strftime standard library functions. They have C APIs and should be callable by Objective-C code, and very probably you might have higher level library calls.

Faroe Islands Takes EU to Tribunal over Fishing Sanctions
19 August 2013, at 1:00am
FAROE ISLANDS - On Friday 16 August 2013, the Faroe Islands notified the EU that it will be setting up an international tribune regarding the planned sanctions placed on Farose exports of herring and mackerel.
A meeting of coastal states (Faroe Islands, EU, Norway, Russia and Iceland) to the Atlanto-Scandian herring has been scheduled for the 2-3 September to discuss the joint management of the herring stock. The key issue being the need for a revised, equitable allocation of the stock, which also better reflects the occurrence of herring in Faroese waters.
Despite agreeing to participate in these planned consultations, the EU decided on 31 July 2013 to proceed with imposing coercive economic measures against the Faroe Islands, targeting Faroese imports to the EU of not only herring but also mackerel, and preventing their transport through EU ports.
In response, the government of the Faroes has consequently notified the EU that on the 16 August 2013 it has brought the dispute to an international arbitral tribunal, requesting that the EU be declared in breach of its obligations under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and ordered to refrain from the threat or adoption of coercive economic measures on the Faroe Islands.
The tribunal hopes to prevent the sanctions from being implemented as, according to Annex 7 of the UNCLOS, not all ways to end the dispute were addressed and therefore the EU should not have introduced sanctions.
The Farose government underlines that the EU actions in this matter are instrumental in preventing the cooperation necessary to reach agreement on the Atlanto-Scandian herring and contravene its obligations to resolve disputes by peaceful means.
The EU is also notified that, consistent with international law, there is an obligation on parties to a dispute to refrain from any measures capable of prejudicing the decision and, in general, avoid taking any steps which might aggravate or extend the dispute, when it has been referred to an international judicial or arbitral forum
Commenting on the Government's decision to pursue international arbitration, the Farose Prime Minister, Kaj Leo Holm Johannesen, said: "Consultations between all five coastal states need to continue in earnest if we are going to find joint agreement on the allocation of the herring. The EU's intention to impose unilateral coercive economic measures against the Faroe Islands has already compromised the spirit of mutual respect and cooperation which is crucial to ensuring that real progress can be made on joint management of this valuable shared fish stock. If the EU actually implements such measures, the basis for balanced multilateral negotiations will clearly be called into serious question."
The implementation of sanctions would also affect the Icelandic fishing industry. Supporting the action taken by the Faroe Islands, Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson, Prime Minister of Iceland, stated that the EU's actions are in breach of various obligations under UNCLOS and general international law.
"Furthermore, such measures would not be in accordance with the EU´s obligations under the WTO or, as regards Iceland, the EEA Agreement," said Mr Gunnlaugsson.
"It is of great concern to the government of Iceland that the EU seeks to prejudice the rights of free negotiation and agreement of other coastal States in the region, in pursuing the interests of certain Member States. It is of further concern to Iceland that the EU intentionally circumvents mechanisms for the peaceful settlement of disputes, available under the Convention.
"The Icelandic government rejects and objects in the strongest terms to the EU's resort to threats of coercive measures against Iceland and the Faroe Islands as a means of settling disputes on the management of shared fish stocks. The government calls on the EU to withdraw these threats, thereby abiding by its obligations under international law."

Come Down When You're Ready
Aldrig Mer (feat. TENDER) - Kasbo,
With two LPs and over 200 million streams under their belt, TENDER's James Cullen and Dan Cobb continue in single track mode with a real-time hunger and focus on their audience.
The bands new EP 'Side A' was written in London/LA and developed and produced with long term collaborators Gianluca Buccellati, Frank Colucci and LOXE. Following the end of their US tour back in February, when the duo played Brooklyn's Elsewhere venue, James stayed in the US, with Dan flying back to the UK, with the band working on tracks separately and remotely.
Speaking about the EP, the band say: "With this EP being put together while we've been in lockdown and separated, we've been able to link up online and direct it a bit more individually, working on parts one by one rather than collaborating together at the same time for large chunks. We're looking forward to seeing how this contrasts with a Side B EP once we've been able to get back in the studio together and build the tracks up as a team from start to finish.
With continued reference towards TENDER's early successes going back to their first set of demos over 4 years ago, coming from spontaneity and fluid release plans; the important of such a creative period steeped in impulse is now 2020's priority.
The band are planning for live shows again in 2021.

The Webb Telescope manages to observe two of the oldest galaxies in the universe that we know
A fragment of a recent deep field image from the Webb Image: SCIENCE: NASA, ESA, CSA, Tommaso Treu (UCLA) IMAGE PROCESSING: Zolt G. Levay (STScI)
A deeper look through a massive cluster has revealed two galaxies formed shortly after the Big Bang.
In late June, the Webb Space Telescope set its eye on two of the most distant galaxies we've seen to date. These galaxies existed several hundred million years after the Big Bang, making them some of the first light sources to emerge in the universe.
The galaxies are in the vicinity of Abell 2744, a giant galaxy cluster (actually a mixture of four smaller clusters) in the constellation Sculptor. One of these galaxies arose just 450 million years after the Big Bang, and the other about 350 million years later. These galaxies have a redshift of 10.5 and 12.5. Because the universe is expanding, light is stretched to longer, redder wavelengths as it travels through space. So an object with a higher redshift is farther away and older than one with a lower redshift. These two galaxies are similar in age to the Maisie Galaxy, a distant object discovered in a Webb deep field image that had a redshift of 11.8.
The universe is about 13.8 billion years old, and the first stars did not appear until several hundred million years later. That makes these galaxies some of the oldest known light sources in the universe (excluding cosmic microwave radiation, the glow from the Big Bang, which emerged about 380,000 years after the event).
The Abell 2744 cluster is about 3.5 billion light-years away, but these recently discovered galaxies are older. In fact, from our perspective they are billions of light-years further away than Abell 2744 and so their light is very dim. But the primordial light sources are gravitationally lensing the galaxy cluster, meaning their light is bent and magnified by an object in the way. Gravitational lenses focus distant light, making it easier to see objects far away. Astronomers take advantage of this cosmic quirk to find the oldest known stars and even to repeatedly observe one-off events like supernovae, as photons of light from those events follow multiple paths around massive objects.
This is not the first time we have photographed Abell 2744. In 2014, the Hubble Space Telescope had already taken an image of this gigantic cluster of galaxies. At the time, Hubble's deep field images were the deepest observations ever made of such an object. However, Webb's keen vision has allowed older light sources beyond the cluster to be focused.
According to a statement from the Space Telescope Science Institute, these two ancient galaxies are tiny compared to our own (the Milky Way is about 100,000 light-years across). Abell 2744 is also known as the Pandora Cluster because of all the objects it contains. But unlike the mythological box, the Pandora Cluster only brings us good things.

Definitely works, I am a complete non-smoker now and will never start again!
Having been a heavy smoker for many years I decided it was time to quit. It worked a treat even though I was a bit sceptical before I went in. I've saved a fortune by not buying cigarettes anymore and I'm convinced my health is better for it. If you are thinking about seeing a Hypnotherapist I would recommend seeing Emily.
Pleased to say I haven't smoked from the day I left my session with you. Very occasionally it crosses my mind that I used to smoke, when I'm in certain situations, but the thought passes very quickly and I'm never tempted to light up a cigarette. In general life feels better for not smoking and it the smoking cessation session was worth every penny.
After my hypnotherapy session for smoking cessation I have not even thought of smoking a cigarette. It has totally changed my life and I would encourage anyone who wants to quit to contact Emily as she has worked wonders. I have since referred her to many of my friends and family.
At the beginning of November my husband Joe and I both came to you to have hypnotherapy to stop smoking. I just wanted to update you that neither of us has had a cigarette since. I have tried to stop smoking many times over about 25 years and failed. I remember thinking when we drove home after the session that I didn't feel any different but as the hours, days, months and now a year went on it was extraordinary – I didn't feel depressed, deprived or bereaved and did not put any weight on at all – almost as if I had never smoked.
I picked up your card from my dentist in Winslow and have told them what a 'miracle worker' you are, my dentist has commented on how healthy my gums now look thanks to stopping smoking.
Thank you so much for helping me to quit smoking. I can honestly say that I've never felt better. After being a smoker for so many years, after just one session with you I no longer have the desire to smoke and I truly believe that I never will. Thanks to you I will be a non smoker for the rest of my life; the smell of tobacco now revolts me.
Thanks for your help with my stop smoking session. Came home, threw all evidence of smoking in the bin and have not had a fag since. Had a few beers over the weekend, thinking 'hit it head on' and see what happens and found it pretty easy to be honest. I must admit I was a little cynical about hypnotherapy working upon leaving the session with you, but something most definitely happened as I would never have thought it could be this easy.
My main motivation for quitting smoking was to give myself a better chance of having a baby. I've been smoking half my life and have quit a few times in the past with little success. In social situations (and stressful too) I felt I was 'missing out' and always caved in and started smoking again. With hypnotherapy I knew it wasn't a miracle cure but soon afterwards I was pleasantly surprised to notice how differently I thought about smoking. Since seeing Emily I hardly ever think about smoking. The positive effect it has had on me has started to make my friends and family want to quit too! Once again, a big thank you Emily, it really has changed my life.
Just thought I would drop you a quick email to let you know how I'm getting on. It's been nearly 3 months now since I came to see you and you will be pleased to know that you have another success story. I'm still not smoking and on top of that I have lost nearly 2 stone. I'm feeling 100% fitter and have signed up to cycle from John O'Groats to Lands end next year, something I would not have been able to do when I was a smoker. I cannot thank you enough for your help and have passed on your details to a number of people who are interested in giving up and I would thoroughly recommend you to anyone.
I would like to highly recommend the support and service provided by The Hypnotherapy Practice. I had been smoking between 15-20 a day even though I couldn't afford it. I have a non-smoking partner and two young children. Since my session with Emily, I am proud to say I am a non-smoker. I don't class myself as a ex-smoker, I am a non-smoker. I knew I didn't quite have it in me to try and quit alone, I needed a strong helping hand and Emily was that. The session was very relaxing, I was very open minded. I'm not going to say it was easy, but do I think it was easier, yes! Emily's session is how I have managed to remain a non-smoker. Yes obviously I played a massive part in it, but the positive thinking and support provided through hypnosis was the key for me! Thank you Emily, you have changed my life.
If for any reason you are not happy with the way your stop smoking session went, if you contact me within 4 weeks of the session I will give you a second session for free.

Reports from Iowa and later Illinois that rootworms were apparently breaking through genetic resistance were headline stories. What does it mean for Indiana?
We posed that question to three members of the Indiana Certified Crop Advisers panel.
• To prevent resistance, make sure you plant refuge as directed.
• Go after rootworms by using multiple Bt events.
• Rotate corn when possible to soybeans or a nonhost crop.
I live in north-central Indiana and have read reports about rootworms breaking resistance in Iowa and Illinois. I maintain a strict rotation and rely on resistant hybrids for rootworm control. Will this affect me? Should I make changes?
Betsy Bower, Ceres Solutions, Terre Haute: There has only been confirmation of rootworm resistance to one specific rootworm-resistant protein, the Cry3Bb1 protein, by Aaron Gassman of Iowa State University. Mike Gray documented several cases of severe rootworm damage to Bt corn in northern Illinois, but has not confirmed resistance.
Corn rootworm toxins are not high-dose toxins. Many larvae survive and reach adulthood. Planting refuge is critical to reduce selection pressure of the resistant protein on the rootworm population in a given field. The function of the refuge is to provide an opportunity for rootworms that survive exposure to the protein to mate with susceptible rootworms feeding on refuge corn. Offspring will be susceptible.
Ryan McAllister, Beck's Hybrids, Parker City: We have learned in ag to never say never. Weeds became resistant to ALS chemistry much quicker than anticipated. We didn't believe we would see glyphosate resistance to this level. The key to resistance management, be it weeds or insects, is multiple modes of action, following label guidelines, and rotating chemistry or trait platforms.
Resistance to rootworm events in Illinois and Iowa stemmed from a failure to follow refuge requirements, instead planting the same rootworm event year after year in corn after corn. Plant the appropriate refuge. Don't use your neighbor as refuge. Rotating trait platforms from year to year is a good insect resistance-management plan.
Jeff Nagel, Ceres Solutions, Lafayette: I would not make any changes since you live in an area with less rootworm pressure and you rotate. Most reports from Iowa and Illinois are from continuous corn fields that have relied on one Bt event for several years. This is not a total surprise. History tells us that by using one method to control pests, we put a lot of selection pressure on the control method. In fact, we're selecting for insects, diseases and weeds that survive the treatment.
Bower: We should still pay attention in Indiana because corn rootworm is a key pest, at least in the northern two-thirds of the state. Continuous corn producers in areas of high rootworm pressure should monitor fields for standability, yield and other signs that rootworm control was less than satisfactory.
Gray recommends rotating to soybeans or a nonhost crop; using a corn rootworm soil insecticide at planting; choosing a Bt hybrid other than the one that failed in Iowa, and using a pyramid Bt hybrid that expresses multiple Cry proteins targeted against corn rootworms.
Nagel: Always plant your required refuge, use a stacked hybrid with more than one Bt event for rootworm control, use a full rate of seed-applied insecticide and consider a soil-applied granular insecticide, as well.


Are Excitotoxins Bad For You? - Here Is Your Answer.
Are Excitotoxins Bad For You?
Excitotoxins are bad for you. There are absolutely zero health benefits associated with excitotoxins.
Excitotoxins are another name for excitatory neurotoxins which are often added to foods to make them seem more flavorful. Excitotoxins are basically non-essential amino acids that serve to stimulate the umami sensory which can cause you to eat more than you intended or were even hungry for.
The most common excitotoxins are glutamate, aspartate, and cysteine, although there are many others we are exposed to every day. These neurotoxins have various effects on the brain including the destruction of neurons, brain damage and memory impairment. Many people are also allergic to them which is unfortunate because of how prevalent they have become in our American food sources.
Glutamate is commonly listed on ingredient lists as monosodium glutamate (MSG) - yep! You can already feel how bad for you this is just hearing those initials. Chronic consumption of MSG is known to cause thyroid problems, obesity, short stature and infertility. The really scary part is that it can cross the placenta, causing similar effects in the fetus. Glutamate can also freely penetrate areas of the brain leading to over-activation of the NMDA glutamate receptors which during nervous system development can cause glutamate excitotoxicity and neuron destruction. The elderly are also at risk of brain damage from this excitotoxin. Glutamate goes by a ton of other names as well, including natural flavors, flavoring, anything glutamate, and carrageenan to name a few.
Aspartate acts on the brain's NMDA receptor cells the same as glutamate. It is typically consumed as aspartame, an artificial sweetener in processed foods and drinks. It has been linked to several neurological effects the most common of which is headaches, followed by sleep disorders and even seizures.
Ok, be ready for this. Cysteine is made in a lab with an ingredient you're not expecting – hydrolysis of human hair and poultry feathers…yeah, gross! When combined with sugar it increases the umami sensation and the savory flavor. Cysteine easily penetrates the blood-brain barrier, a major defense system in our bodies that protects our neurons, and leads to degenerative brain diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.

Are there references to saffron in the Bible?
by Sudhirahluwalia, Inc | Jun 14, 2022 | Remedies and medicine | 0 comments
The Bible is not just a religious book for the Jews and the Christians, but it is also one of the early records of life, as it existed from around the 7th century BC up to the end of the first century AD.
Saffron is perhaps the most expensive and ancient among incenses known to man. Saffron-based pigments were probably used to make stencil prints on the walls of caves by the earliest cave inhabitants around 30000 BC. But the earliest saffron dye pigments used in paintings probably go back to the Minoan period. In Crete in 1450 BC, a volcanic eruption buried the Minoan palaces and buildings in a cloud of dust, where they remained until archaeologists discovered them. A building called Xestes 3 in Akrotiri, Greece, has several frescoes of girls and women gathering saffron flowers and bringing them to a goddess seated on a three-tiered platform on a cushion of saffron. Another fresco from the same site shows a woman's bleeding foot being treated with saffron. Saffron at that time may have been collected from the wild. The species shown in the frescos is probably Crocus cartwrightianus.
Saffron was also one of the most valued and expensive aromatic spices of Greco-Roman times. The Greeks called it the "Blood of Hercules." It was used as a ritual incense and regarded as a protective amulet. It was associated with fertility and romance, and nobles used it to perfume clothes and baths. Homer states that Greek gods Zeus and Jupiter lay on a bed of saffron to enhance amorous emotions. Dioscorides, the Greek physician, mentions the aphrodisiac properties of saffron. It is also cited as a ritual incense in the Orphic mysteries of the cult of Dionysus.
The Talmud contains multiple references to saffron, and it is one of the 11 ingredients of the Ketoret Holy Incense. In Christianity, saffron is not a spice of major religious significance. There is a single reference to saffron in the Bible in Song of Solomon 4:14, where it is mentioned along with other incenses. During the Crusades, Christians brought large quantities of saffron, a highly valued commodity from the Holy Land, to their European homes in France and England. Saffron was then extensively planted in France and England and became hugely popular.
Hippocrates and Galen's mention using saffron to improve digestion, reduce flatulence and colic, and calm the nerves of adults and children. In Book II of the Canon of Medicine (al-Qanun fi al-tib), Avicenna describes various medicinal uses of saffron, including its use as an antidepressant, hypnotic, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, a bronchodilator, aphrodisiac, labor inducer, and emmenagogue. Most of these effects have been studied in modern pharmacology and are well documented.

Is saffron tea beneficial to our health?
Are myrrh and frankincense same or different incenses?

Q: How to hook custom taxonomies to custom post types and make the permalinks work? So,
I have my custom post type with the slug /news. And I want my category view to be /news/category/CATEGORYID.
For that I create my custom taxonomy:
add_action('init', 'create_allfilmnews_categories', 0);
function create_allfilmnews_categories() {
    $labels = array(
        'name' => _x( 'Categories', 'taxonomy general name' ),
        'singular_name' => _x( 'Category', 'taxonomy singular name' ),
        'search_items' =>  __( 'Search categories' ),
        'all_items' => __( 'All category' ),
        'parent_item' => __( 'Parent category' ),
        'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent category:' ),
        'edit_item' => __( 'Edit category' ),
        'update_item' => __( 'Update category' ),
        'add_new_item' => __( 'Add new category' ),
        'new_item_name' => __( 'New category name' ),
        'menu_name' => __( 'News categories' ),
    );

    register_taxonomy('news_category', 'news', array(
        'hierarchical' => true,
        'labels' => $labels,
        'show_ui' => true,
        'query_var' => true,
        'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'category' ),
    ));
}

I was hoping, that since it is hooked to news custom post-type.. and its slug is "category", so I was hoping that naturally it would work out like I wanted (/news/category/CATEGORYID). And use my custom category-template just by creating a file to the template directory: category-news_category.php.
However, of course it is not working.
Is it even possible to have a custom taxonomy aka. categories inside custom post-type, that work perfectly with permalinks?

A: Two things - I think the category URL would be: yourdomain.com/news_category/NEWS-CATEGORY-SLUG-HERE
So for example if you created a category "top headlines" in your "news_category" taxonomy... it would look like this (assuming the slug for "top headlines" is "top-headlines"):
/news_category/top-headlines/
The second thing...
I think your template name should be "taxonomy-news_category.php"
(edited to add - I don't think you can have the slug be "category" as that is being used by WordPress already.. so that may be causing a conflict in itself...I could be wrong on that though...)

Jasa Joseph
Georgia native Jasa Joseph has had more culinary experience than many industry professionals twice her age. Joseph grew up surrounded by food in her hometown of Dalton, Georgia where her family ran and operated numerous local restaurants. At the ripe age of 18, the southern belle ventured to New York City in pursuit of her passion to become a chef and attended The French Culinary Institute in Manhattan.
After graduation, Joseph took a position at The Surf Lodge outside the city, in Montauk, New York. It was here that she met her mentor, Sam Talbot. Widely known for his role on the 2nd Season of "Top Chef", Talbot took Joseph under his wing in the midst of his rising celebrity status as one of New York City's most accomplished and buzz-worthy chefs. As an Executive Sous Chef, Jasa helped head up the food program at the venue, a hip nautical meets bohemian restaurant that was renowned in the area for its organic vibe and superior use of fresh local ingredients.
In addition to her prominent role at the Surf Lodge, Joseph toured the country with Talbot as his "right-hand chef" at premier events including press dinners and celebrity galas. Most notably, Jasa led the kitchen at the prestigious James Beard House for Talbot's dinner in 2010, which is one of the most coveted culinary opportunities for chefs in the country, as well as at the nationally recognized New York City Wine & Food Festival and the Scottsdale Culinary Festival. Jasa found herself growing restless in the Big Apple and in 2012 decided to move to San Diego in search of a new challenge.
Jasa was a part of the culinary duo leading the food program at the OB/Point Loma casual eatery, Sessions Public, where she put her impressive portfolio to good use with the restaurant's elevated gastrofare. Joseph later took a position at Cafe 21 in San Diego. Here she helped innovate new ideas to their brunch menu, splitting her time between their two locations, one in Gaslamp and the other in University Heights. Cafe 21 mentality is all organic farm to table food.
Joseph decided it was time to return home to Georgia in 2014. Chef Joseph took a position as Executive Chef at Walnut Hill Farm, a family owned and operated event venue. When she's not in the kitchen, the outdoorsy chef can be found hanging out with her family, exploring good restaurants and seeking out farmers markets.

A selection of hymns and songs based on themes from the Roman Catholic lectionary for the third Sunday of Advent, Year B.
The third Sunday of Advent is traditionally known as Gaudate Sunday (pronounced "gau - day -tay"), and has focus on experiencing joy in this time of waiting and preparation. One explanation of the meaning and ritual of the day is here.
First: Isaiah 61 - The spirit of the Lord has been given to me, he has sent me to bring good news to the poor.
Psalm: Lk 1 / Is 61 - My soul rejoices in my God / The almighty works marvels for me / He fills the starving with good things.
Second: I Thessalonicans - Be happy at al times, pray constantly ... never try to suppress the Spirit ... may the God of peace make you perfect and hold.
Gospel: John 1 - A man came sent by God. His name was John. ... The priest and Levites questioned him - he quoted from Isaiah "A voice cries in the wilderness..." ... there stands among you the one who is coming after me, I am not fit to undo his sandal ..."
Rejoice in the joy of knowing that the Lord is coming. Focus on John as the bringer of the news of Jesus coming.

Q: nginx location directive I have an nginx server with a rails app.
my nginx.conf is
server {
      listen 80;
      server_name nerto.it;
      root /var/www/current/public;
      passenger_enabled on;

    location /m {

        index index.html index.php;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /m/index.html?q=$uri;
    }
...
}

It works except address like
nerto.it/mprove or nerto.it/mtry
where the initial letter is /m and nginx take this address like nerto.it/m
How can i solve it?

A: location /m/ {
    passenger_enabled off;
    index index.html index.php;
    try_files $uri $uri/ /m/index.html?q=$uri;
}

or
location = /m {
    ...
}

It is unclear from your question what behaviour do you expect.
Please, read the documentation: http://nginx.org/r/location

If you are anything like me than you love breakfast food! Growing up my Dad and Mom would often make a special breakfast for Saturday mornings I would sleep in and could smell the delicious aromas before I could even open my eyes! When my husband and I were newly weds I woke up one morning and decided to surprise him with some homemade pancakes. Thinking any recipe would do I whipped up the first one I found online.. We sat in our bed together with our breakfast that was placed on a gold crocodile texture serving tray for two and laughed at how UTTERLY horrible the pancakes I made were! Thank goodness there was also some bacon! I couldn't even be mad at the face my dear husband made when he took his first bite… because I'm pretty sure mine also mirrored his!
For whatever reason I went on to try about 5 more recipes! I didn't matter they all paled in comparison to the recipe my mother made growing up. So I finally broke down and called her for the recipe about 2 years ago. The first batch was an instant reminder of how wrong I had been to ever betray a well loved tried and true recipe! So today on the menu we have my absolute favorite pancake recipe of all time! And let there be no mistake this recipe is all you will ever need! So if you have 10 other pancake recipes stashed in your recipe box like I did you can go throw them in the garbage because this is my favorite pancake recipe and I think it just might be your favorite pancake recipe when you try it too!
The first time I made this recipe for my husband all was forgiven he asked me a couple times where I got the recipe! little did he know I pretty much had it all along I was just being hard headed and was just "making sure!!" there wasn't possibly another pancake recipe that was better. He will also attest that this one wins hands down!
The ingredients are simple! and you can top them with whatever you desire! dress them up or keep them simple! We tend to keep them simple at our house but there is no reason you couldn't make them the star of your breakfast show with some chocolate chips, chocolate syrup and whipped cream!
Eggs, buttermilk, & vegetable oil together in a mixing bowl. Combine remaining indigence but do not over mix, mixture should be lumpy.
pour 3/4 cup of batter onto your greased skillet or frying pan cook on medium heat until pancake will hold its own form and flip it over until golden brown on each side.
If you would like to save this recipe for later be sure to pin the image below!
Please note, this post contains affiliate links however all opinions and view expressed are purely my own! thanks so much for your understanding!
Thank you so much for stopping by!! for more recipes head over to this page!

As part of the Next Level exhibition series, Foam presents the work of multi-disciplinary artist Dominic Hawgood (1980, UK).
In this exhibition, titled Casting Out the Self, Hawgood visualises the effect of the drug dimethyltryptamine (DMT), which he personally experienced as a transfer into the digital realm. His work creates a hallucinatory effect: photographs seem to move, flat surfaces reveal hidden depths, and the perception of space turns out to be an illusion. Hawgood researches and appropriates elements of computational photography into his work, leading into intriguing site-specific installations and sculptural elements that refer to both spiritual ceremonies and the digital rituals of computer graphics. Through lighting design, Hawgood creates a unique atmosphere that transforms the exhibition space into a twilight zone between physical and digital reality. Hawgood not only pushes the boundaries of the medium of photography but also expresses a highly innovative approach to exhibition design.
In the ceremonial atmosphere of the exhibition, spirituality is endowed with digital features so that digital reality also appears to be idolised. In this way, Hawgood accurately captures the ambivalence of the digital world we live in: the magic of infinite possibilities contrasts sharply with our brief attention span, information overload, persistent distraction, loneliness and seclusion.
Foam exhibits all genres of photography. Large exhibitions of famous photographers alongside young talent in short-term shows.

The budget estimates of public revenue of Alsace-Lorraine in the year ending March 31, 1899, amounted to 55,616,515 marks, and the estimates of expenditure to 54,811,195 marks. There was also an extraordinary revenue of 4,149,269 marks, and an expenditure of 4,954,589 marks. More than half of the total revenue is derived from customs and indirect taxes, while one of the largest branches of expenditure is for public instruction.
Alsace-Lorraine has a debt consisting of 3 per cent, rentes in circulation to the amount of 715,284 marks, equivalent, if capitalised, to a debt of 24,115,000 marks.
Production and Industry.
On June 14, 1895, the number of separate farms was as follows : —
Under 1 Hectare
1-10 Hectares
10-100 Hectares
Above 100 Hectares
Their total area was 899,342 hectares.
These farms supported a population of 592,506, of whom 303,968 were actively engaged in agriculture. Alsace-Lorraine yields the usual cereals, and it is also a great wine-producing country. Of the 1,700 communes, 1,028 have vineyards. In 1896-97, 1,802 hectares were planted with tobacco, and yielded 5,000 metric tons of dried tobacco.
The cotton manufacture in Alsace-Lorraine is the most important in Germany ; woollens are produced on a smaller scale. In 1897 minerals to the value of 22,957,715 marks (provisional figures) were raised in the Reichsland.
There were in 1897 1,078 miles of railway in Alsace^^Lorraine, of which 998 miles belonged to the State.

Sam Chang, 'Developer of the Year'
By Joey Arak Dec 12, 2007, 10:54am EST
Sam Chang's actions speak louder than words, and by that we mean all the shit the McSam Hotel Group CEO pulls is highly more entertaining that anything he actually says. Sure, calling Brooklyn over is always a hit, but buying property sight-unseen and building oversized piñatas is practically off the charts in terms of unintentional comedy. Sam Chang understands this, so he's always been a little press shy in the past. But now that he's taking meetings with Donald Trump and nearing his goal of constructing 50 new hotels in the city, The Destroyer is speaking out more and more?such as in this Observer story about his empire. It's a microcosm of the above-described Changmania. "I'm not a movie star, I'm just an investor," he says. Not bad, but not nearly as awesome as the fact that Chang's habit of building Hiltons without actually discussing the matter with Hilton resulted in him being named the company's "Developer of the Year" last winter. Uh, congrats! And if there was such a thing as the Stucco Appreciation Society, we're pretty sure he'd have the lifetime achievement award in the bag, as well.

It would be really helpful to have some kind of navigation at the bottom of forum threads, even if it was just a copy of the breadcrumb navigation. I really like drop-downs with every forum category, but even being able to get back to the main forum category we were in would be helpful.
Interesting, I've never actually found myself using that forums drop down menu in forums.
Well, I often go through several posts in each category and after posting I end up at the bottom looking at the post I just made. I have to scroll all the way up to the top of the page to get anywhere. There's not even a link to the previous category or home page.

I'm not sure how to put it up. copying the breadcrumb navigation at the bottom would mean copying backend code from one place to another and hoping it works.
Chris they are talking about the drop down menu, not the breadcrumb navigation, see it on FPU.
You just have to enable it, Shawn at DP never had it and members asked and he enabled it, it is a setting in vB.
See attachment below and can you enable thumbnails instead of file name on your attachments settings?
