Przejście graniczne Brama Fatimy (ang. Fatima Gate Crossing, hebr. שער פאטמה) – nieczynne międzynarodowe izraelsko-libańskie drogowe przejście graniczne, położone na północnym krańcu Gór Naftali w tzw. Palcu Galilei. W jego bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie znajduje się izraelska miejscowość Metulla i libańska wioska Kafar Kila.

Położenie
Przejście graniczne Brama Fatimy jest położone na północnym krańcu Gór Naftali w tzw. Palcu Galilei.

Historia
Historia przejścia granicznego Brama Fatimy wiąże się z wybuchem w kwietniu 1975 roku pierwszej fazy wojny domowej w Libanie. W czerwcu 1976 roku do Libanu wkroczyły wojska syryjskie, wymuszając na wszystkich walczących stronach przyjęcie zawieszenia broni. W ten sposób Liban praktycznie znalazł się w syryjskiej strefie wpływów. Sytuację tę wykorzystał Izrael, który nawiązał dobre kontakty z chrześcijanami Falangi Libańskiej. W latach 1975–1976 milicje chrześcijańskie korzystały z pomocy izraelskich ekspertów wojskowych i ograniczonych dostaw izraelskiego uzbrojenia. W maju 1977 roku Izraelczycy zwiększyli współpracę z chrześcijanami w południowym Libanie, widząc w nich możliwość zbudowania przeciwwagi dla rosnących sił palestyńskich organizacji terrorystycznych skupionych w Organizacji Wyzwolenia Palestyny. Falangiści byli zachęcani do podjęcia działań przeciwko Palestyńczykom. W zamian za to, izraelskie władze pozwoliły w 1977 roku maronitom na pracę w Izraelu. Udzielono także pomocy w eksporcie maronickich towarów przez izraelski Port Hajfa. Wzdłuż granicy izraelsko-libańskiej zbudowano sześć stacji medycznych, w których mieszkańcy południowego Libanu mogli korzystać z pomocy izraelskich lekarzy. Nasilające się jednak palestyńskie ataki terrorystyczne, zmusiły Izraelczyków do przeprowadzenia w marcu 1978 roku operacji "Litani". Wycofując się z południowego Libanu, Izraelczycy pozostawili za sobą przygraniczną strefę buforową, którą powierzono oddziałom chrześcijańskich milicji. Utworzyły one w tej strefie tzw. "Niezależny Wolny Liban". Dało to początek tzw. Dobrej Granicy, nad którą dodatkową opiekę objęły międzynarodowe siły pokojowe UNIFIL.

Dalsza eskalacja walk w Libanie doprowadziła do wybuchu wojny libańskiej (1982-1985). W jej trakcie wojska izraelskie wkroczyły do Bejrutu, zmuszając siły OWP do opuszczenia Libanu. I właśnie w 1982 roku nastąpiło otwarcie przejścia granicznego Brama Fatimy. Było to główne przejście graniczne izraelsko-libańskie, przez które przepływały towary i pracownicy, w większości z Libanu do Izraela. Przejście służyło także jako centralny punkt tranzytowy dla izraelskich żołnierzy w Libanie. Po zakończeniu wojny Izraelczycy utworzyli w południowym Libanie "strefę bezpieczeństwa", za którą odpowiedzialność ponosiła Armia Południowego Libanu. Przyniosło to znaczne uspokojenie sytuacji, jednak miejsce Palestyńczyków bardzo szybko zajęły radykalne organizacje szyickie – Ruch Amal i Hezbollah. W odpowiedzi na ostrzał rakietowy, Izraelczycy przeprowadzili w lipcu 1993 roku operację "Odpowiedzialność", a następnie w kwietniu 1996 roku operację "Grona Gniewu". Gdy w maju 2000 roku wojska izraelskie opuściły "strefę bezpieczeństwa", nastąpiło zakończenie epoki Dobrej Granicy i równocześnie zamknięto przejście graniczne Brama Fatimy. W czerwcu 2000 roku Organizacja Narodów Zjednoczonych wytyczyła przebieg granicy izraelsko-libańskiej – tzw. Niebieska Linia. W kolejnych latach, w rejonie zamkniętego przejścia doszło do licznych incydentów, w których bojownicy Hezbollahu w różny sposób atakowali izraelskich żołnierzy.

Brama Fatimy ma obecnie symboliczne znaczenie, przypominające względnie spokojne stosunki izraelsko-libańskie, które zostały zniszczone przez radykalnych szyitów z Hezbollahu. Była to także utracona szansa na demokrację dla Libańczyków i stabilne życie. Obecnie przejście graniczne jest tylko atrakcją turystyczną.

Informacje podstawowe
Przejście graniczne jest całkowicie zamknięte i strzeżone przez Siły Obronne Izraela. Po stronie libańskiej jest nadzorowane przez siły UNIFIL.

Transport
Z przejścia granicznego wychodzi w kierunku południowo-wschodnim droga nr 90, którą dojeżdża się do miejscowości Metulla i miasta Kirjat Szemona. Po stronie libańskiej lokalna droga prowadzi na zachód do wioski Kafar Kila.

Carbs for the Body Vs. Protein for the Body
The carbs and protein you eat serve different functions in your body.
1 Does the Body Burn Carbs or Protein for Energy?
2 Carbohydrate Digestion in the GI Tract
3 Do Carbohydrates Turn to Sugar When Digested?
4 What Enzymes Are Used to Break Down Carbohydrates
Both carbs and protein play fundamental roles in how your body functions. They provide not only calories but also the components that make up your physical structure and allow your biological processes to occur. The carbs and protein you eat each day must undergo digestion before your body can benefit from the nutrients they offer, and both the function and digestion of these macromolecules show distinct differences.
Carb Functions
A principal function of dietary carbs is to supply you with fuel in the form of calories. Each gram of carbohydrate you eat, from sugar- and starch-rich foods such as grains, fruits and vegetables, offers four calories of energy. Every cell in your body can make use of carbs as a fuel source, and your brain, kidneys and nervous system require the glucose resulting from carbohydrate digestion to function optimally. Carbs are also an integral part of physiological molecules like DNA and certain enzymes. In addition, carbs you eat but can't digest – soluble and insoluble fiber – can improve your digestive health and may even help reduce your risk of disease.
Carb Digestion
The goal of carbohydrate digestion is to reduce starch and sugar molecules to a size small enough that your gut can absorb them. Small sugars – such as sucrose, made up of a glucose and a fructose – require minimal digestion, while large molecules of starch need extensive action by digestive enzymes to break them down to single glucose molecules. The digestion of sugars occurs in your small intestine with the help of specific enzymes; for example, sucrase breaks down a sucrose molecule to its component sugars. Starch digestion begins in your mouth and continues in your small intestine, aided by the enzyme amylase. When your digestive enzymes have completed the process, absorptive cells in your small intestine take them in and deposit them into your blood, where they travel to the cells throughout your body.
Protein Functions
Protein's functions are more diverse than that of carbohydrates. Although you can extract four calories of energy from each gram of protein you eat, your body first uses this macronutrient for more pressing needs and turns to it as a fuel source only as a last resort. The foremost purpose of your dietary protein is as a structural and functional component of biological molecules. It builds and repairs muscle and tissue, promotes immune health by forming antibodies and white blood cells, creates hormones and enzymes and manufactures red blood cells. In addition, it contributes to the structure of your organs, skeleton, skin, hair and nails.
Protein Digestion
Your gastrointestinal tract digests proteins to release the individual amino acids it contains. These building blocks, once absorbed and transported throughout your body, can then join together in a variety of ways to create a new protein as the need arises. Digestion of this macronutrient begins in your stomach, where acid relaxes the coiled structure of the protein, allowing a protein-digesting enzyme to act. As the partially digested molecule travels to your small intestine, additional enzymes continue to eat away at the protein until only individual amino acids remain, ready for absorption by your small intestine.

Thanks for that. I've always suspected as much. I guess I won't even bother knocking a bit of crud or a smudge off my lenses with a shirt tale anymore.
Well ... yeah. But it's pretty obvious that the lens being destroyed was old. Very few modern lenses turn while they're being focused.
The bottom line, which I think we all knew, is that you can get away with a dirty lens if it isn't too dirty. (I was once photographing the meet 'n greet session after a lecture and accidentally dangled my Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 into a bowl of sour cream dip. And didn't notice it until the shoot was almost over. But my pictures came out OK.) But a clean lens is still better.
It's also true that cleaning a lens can do more harm than good unless you're careful. The best idea is to keep the lens from getting dirty in the first place. That's what lens caps are for.
I have heard of putting vaseline on a lens, but sour cream is a new one!
:...dangled my Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 into a bowl of sour cream dip"
As long as you didn't double dip!

Q: WPF: Как привязаться к DependencyProperty в xaml или добавить кастомное свойсто для контрола? Есть контро, который нужно использовать в двух вариантах:

*

*горизонтальное расположение элементов

*вертикальное расположение элементов

Для этого я создал сам контрол BytePropertyView.xaml:
<Border Style="{StaticResource MainBorder}">
    <WrapPanel Orientation="Vertical">
        <TextBlock Grid.Row="0"
                   Style="{StaticResource MainName}"
                   Text="{Binding Name}"/>
        <ItemsControl Grid.Row="1"
                      ItemsSource="{Binding Properties}">
            <ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
                <ItemsPanelTemplate>
!!!Сюда нужно подписаться!!!
                    <WrapPanel/>
                </ItemsPanelTemplate>
            </ItemsControl.ItemsPanel>
            <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
                <DataTemplate>
                    <StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal">
                        <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}"/>
                        <CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding IsChecked}"/>
                    </StackPanel>
                </DataTemplate>
            </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate>
        </ItemsControl>
    </WrapPanel>
</Border>

А вот его .cs код(это не VM, а код, который генерирует сама IDE и в него я добавил DP) BytePropertyView.xaml.cs:
public partial class BytePropertyView : UserControl
{
    public BytePropertyView()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    public Orientation ItemsOrientation
    {
        get { return (Orientation)GetValue(ItemsOrientationProperty); }
        set { SetValue(ItemsOrientationProperty, value); }
    }

    // Using a DependencyProperty as the backing store for MyProperty.  This enables animation, styling, binding, etc...
    public static readonly DependencyProperty ItemsOrientationProperty =
        DependencyProperty.Register("ItemsOrientation", typeof(Orientation), typeof(BytePropertyView), new PropertyMetadata(Orientation.Horizontal));
}

Мне нужно подписать Orientation в ItemsControl на свойство ItemsOrientation.
Или как лучше добавить кастомное свойство для контрола?

A: Для привязки необходимо присвоить имя UserControl:
<UserControl x:Class="GraceConfig.View.BytePropertyView"
             ...
             Name="ByteProperty">

А там, где необходимо подписаться указать название свойства и имя UserControl:
<WrapPanel Orientation="{Binding ItemsOrientation,
                        ElementName=ByteProperty}"/>

При использовании устанавливаем свойство:
<local:BytePropertyView ItemsOrientation="Vertical"/>

Whenever anyone talks about the integration of health and social care – they prefix their opinion with – well if you were planning for an integrated system – you wouldn't start here! Indeed, that is most definitely the case, however, the harsh reality is that if you need to move between health and social care today – this is exactly where you have to start. We are deeply entrenched in a silo based set of systems that doesn't encourage the flow of information or people between organisations, and in some cases, actively prevents it. In recent months, following the direction of central government, the Care Quality Commission have embarked on a series of locality reviews, which bring together information on how the health and care system is operating in situ. Towards the end of last year they produced an interim report on their findings, and whilst there were pockets of reasonable practice, the overwhelming impression was one where the hatches remain well and truly battened down, and the warm words of integration have yet to make a marked impact. Of course, we are in an era where it is not just warm words, but the integration agenda is backed up by hard cash in the form localised pooled resources through the Better Care Fund. However, the boots on the ground do not appear to have received the dispatch.
Or is that pessimism unwarranted? The winter discharge figures for 2017/18 appear to show a significant improvement in the numbers of delayed discharges caused by lack of access to social care. If this shift is to be realised and maintained, how do we capitalise on what is working to make sure we learn the right lessons. There are a number of very positive examples that have been implemented in different localities that appear to be making a difference, and the opportunity to share this learning cannot be missed. The first of these areas is ensuring that the person moving from the care system to the health system is supported by the right information about them. The most well-known approach to ensuring this has been the Sutton Red Bag scheme. This scheme, born out of the NHS England Vanguard programme, using the a physical prop of a red bag to enable care home staff to include all the critical paper work and information relating to an individual in one place, and to ensure that it was all returned safely with the person on their return home. A simple concept that has gained traction, and is being mirrored in other areas of the country.
Other models of person centred information flow include the innovative My Care Matters. This approach has evolved over a number of years, and Zoe Harris, the designer of this system explains "it is well understood that knowing about the whole person and not just their medical condition leads to a better standard of care, and that an holistic approach can reduce the average length of stay: reducing costs and improving outcomes." My Care Matters enables the personal profile of an individual living with dementia to travel with them through the health and care system, and via the medium of a physical My Care Matters profile chart, or online version, that clearly states the likes and dislikes of an individual, it is possible to ensure that everyone who interacts with that individual in a hospital setting has a good understanding of who they are – putting the people part of person centred care on view.
The opportunities for technology to play a key part in supporting effective integration between health and care are, of course, very much on the agenda. WCS Care, an NCF member, has been working in close partnership with South Warwickshire NHS Foundation Trust. They have just got to the end of the first year of a partnership between the two organisations based around an integrated approach to admissions from hospital into the care home as part of a 'Discharge to Assess' scheme. There have been 265 people who have been supported over the year, and the results are impressive. Key components of the success of the scheme have included a 1.4 hour average turnaround time by the care home to confirm assessments, 94% of patients discharged with no night time needs, 79% of patients discharged as self-medicating, 89% of patients discharged to their usual accommodation and very importantly a view that with greater efficiency in the integration of health and social care – patients could return on average 4.6 days earlier than they currently do.
So, as the sun shines down on the rest of the country, those inside the health and care system will be already thinking about the winter pressures ahead. It is hoped that the positive examples of people centred integration will give them hope, that there are viable and positive options for transforming the integration debate.


Even with bigger incentives that run higher than the segment average, the price of the ATS remains higher than the point where consumers feel comfortable taking a chance on a Cadillac as opposed to the well-established luxury competitors, says Patrick Min, a senior industry analyst at ALG, a research company that monitors and projects vehicle values. [...] The ATS sales woes in part reflect a four-year hangover from a poor launch strategy. Analysts and dealers say Cadillac priced the cars too high and overproduced them in the first two years. Cadillac President Johan de Nysschen and his team have been struggling to right the ATS ever since, including dramatically reducing inventories and cutting back on incentives. 4th Gear: Maybe Shifters Are Getting Too Complicated One more from Automotive News : a good look at automatic gearboxes from brands like Chrysler, Jeep, BMW, Land Rover, Lincoln, Mercedes and more, all trying to re-invent the wheel (or the shifter, in this case) in ways that may be too confusing for customers. Familiarity hasnt always been a challenge in shifting an automobile into drive or park. But style, electronics and the battle for space on the dash and center console have changed the shifters shape and the way it is operated. One consequence of replacing the old-style mechanical linkage from the shifter to the transmission with smaller, faster and more precise electronic systems is that drivers no longer shift intuitively. Nor can they seamlessly transition between brands of cars as they once did.
Government bills and options are guaranteed by the government, and the best part is that they mature very soon, usually between 1 to 10 years. Investment in blue chip shares can also be beneficial for long-term. If you are concerned about the fluctuations in market conditions, and are wondering how to invest when interest rates are low, read this guzzle article carefully. During deflation, the value of money goes up considerably and it becomes inaccessible for many people, resulting in stagnation of the economy. Your vehicle can be potentially any investment channel. Anyone who has mastered self-control seldom makes a bad decision in shares. Technically speaking, money market mutual funds are shares, therefore subjected to fluctuating value. Similarly, for an older person, particularly someone close to retirement, who needs regular income, it makes sense to invest more in government securities and less in shares.
You can also opt for salary contribution plans like the 401k, a subsection of the Internal Revenue Code. In such a case, it is more appropriate to look at the portfolio or rather where and in which sectors is the money being invested. The Path to Financial Security: Safe Investments Understanding the economy and market of every nation, especially the one of which you're a citizen, is of absolute importance once you begin investing. In case of growth investing, investing is done into aggressively progressing companies such as goggle. There is a fixed rate of interest to be paid on bonds and the full amount is redeemed at the end of the maturity period. Common Shares and Uncommon Profits by Philip Fisher The wise investor can profit if he can think independently of the crowd and reach the rich answer when the majority of financial opinion is leaning the other way.

The biggest ever celebration of our connection with nature takes place on Monday 5 June with the 2017 World Environment Day.
Across Britain, and from China to Chile and from Sweden to South Africa, governments, schools, businesses and the public have organised thousands of fun events that will help us appreciate our dependence on the natural world and the need to protect it.
Launched in 1972, the day has developed into a global platform for raising awareness and taking action on urgent environmental such as global warming.
This year's theme is 'Connecting People to Nature' designed to encourage more of us to get outdoors and appreciate nature's beauty and its importance and to get up close to wildlife.
British farmers are passionate about providing a huge variety of quality British food for us all to enjoy.
But farming is about much more than growing great food. Our farmers are working hard every day to protect the environment and the countryside.
They take their roles as custodians of the countryside very seriously.
Farming plays an important role in managing the great British countryside - over 70 per cent of the UK's land area is farmed, providing habitats for wildlife and iconic landscapes for us all to enjoy.
Agricultural land is the most accessible it's ever been with about 202,021 kilometres of public rights of way in England.
Under agri-environment schemes in England, over 30,000km of hedgerows have been planted or restored, providing habitat and shelter for a range of wildlife.
Total GHG emissions from agriculture have fallen by 17% since 1990.
Nearly 1,000 farmers recorded 112 species in GWCT's annual Farmland Bird Count in 2017.
Farmers have created around 37,000km of grass margins, which help prevent pollution of water and protect hedgerows from agricultural activities.
Farmer Mark Pope is chairman of the NFU's Environment Forum. He farms 700 acres of arable land in the Blackdown AONB, Somerset. Mark said: "My simple philosophy is that any intervention to help make environmental improvements on my farm must work alongside my primary aim to produce high quality food.


Among the triggers for the staff reorganization was the election of Trey Hattaway, KC's co-director of marketing, to a new post as Gregg County district clerk. Hattaway won the seat in March and will be sworn in on January 1.
Manny Almanza, the "voice" of KC, was promoted to take over Hattaway's post, leaving another vacancy for the college to fill.
"We are fortunate to have someone transitioning into this role with her background and knowledge of KC," Kays said of Gorman's new position.
Because Holmes' schedule will be tight until a replacement at the museum is named, the museum will reduce its operating hours.

Kays' statement notes the museum is expected to expand its operating hours once a new director has been hired and plans are also in place to expand the museum's event capabilities.

The Rise of the Tuhao
It's a fair bet that most readers of Wordability will not spend much time thinking about new words in Chinese. But when that word starts to become a social media phenomenon, it's time to take notice of it and wonder whether it will cross over into the lingua Franca of the Internet as a whole.
Tuhao has appeared millions of times across Chinese social media. The word is actually more than 1,500 years old and means rich landowner. However it is now used to refer to the newly wealthy, the nouveau riche, to bring in yet another language. It has been commandeered in a derogatory way for these people, who flaunt their freshly acquired fortunes with displays of conspicuous consumption, gaudy jewellery, and the latest gadgets, especially the gold iPhone. The words Bling and Tuhao never seem to be far away from one another.
The word, comprised of 'tu' meaning dirt and 'hao' meaning splendour, got its social media kick from a joke which went viral. A young man asks a Zen master, "I'm wealthy but unhappy. What should I do?" The Zen master responds, "Define 'wealthy.' " The young man answers, "I have millions in the bank and three apartments in central Beijing. Is that wealthy?" The Zen master silently holds out a hand, inspiring the young man to a realisation: "Master, are you telling me that I should be thankful and give back?" The Zen master says, "No … Tuhao, can I become your friend?"
As Buddhist jokes go, I prefer the one about the pizza. But leaving that aside the term has now become a Chinese Internet staple as a way of referring to this particular social trend.
It is very much part of a development in Chinese culture and would not necessarily apply everywhere, but its a neat and effective piece of linguistic shorthand that is perfect for modern methods of communication.
As Chinese presence increases globally, it will be interesting to watch whether linguistic developments such as this cross over into wider usage. Will a domain which has hitherto been dominated by English neologisms starts to become yet another area where Chinese influence starts to dominate?

Is Cultuphobia A New Concern?
Run Away From the King of Gore


Every water ionizer will require some basic maintenance to ensure water quality and long term performance of the unit. So what type of maintenance does the KYK G2 water ionizer require?
The internal filters in your KYK G2 water ionizer will need to be replaced about every six to nine months, depending on how much water you are producing. Replacing the filters only takes a few minutes – you may want to have a pair of needle-nose pliers handy.
Removing and replacing one filter at a time is recommended. Each filter is clearly labeled "filter 1" and "filter 2" however if you remove both at the same time you may forget which filter goes into which position.
Start by opening the first filter panel using the latch release on the side of the unit. You'll need to remove the electrode that monitors the filter life – a pair of needle-nose pliers will make it easier to hold the tab down on the electrode to remove it.
Once you have removed the electrode, remove the filter and then install the matching replacement filter. Reconnect the electrode and then re-secure the filter door.
Repeat this process to replace the filter on the other side of the unit – removing the filter door, removing the electrode, replacing the filter then reconnecting the electrode and putting the filter door back in place.
Because filter life is monitored through the electrodes there is no filter life indicator to reset like with most other water ionizer models. The electrodes will let the G2's computerized control system know that new filters are installed and the unit is ready to use again.
Once the filters have been replaced you will want to run a flush for several minutes. Turn the unit on using the purified setting and allow water to run until it is clear. Fresh filters will have loose carbon particles inside – once the filters are saturated no more trace carbon particles will be released into the water and it will flow clearly again.
KYK recommends using a cleaning cartridge once every 12 to 18 months – or once every 6 to 9 months in hard water areas. The cleaning cartridge effectively removes scale buildup from inside the unit and dispenser hose, flushing it out of the system completely.
To run the cleaning cartridge you will remove the electrode from the #2 filter. At the top of the filter is a small computer chip. You will want to pop the chip out and put in the cleaning cartridge. The G2 will not run if the filter electrode is not connected to the computer chip.
Install the cleaning cartridge in the G2 in place of the #2 filter and connect the electrode.
If you do not want to remove the chip from the #2 filter, install the cartridge and place the #2 filter on top of the unit so that you can reconnect the electrode to the filter. If the electrode is not able to read this chip the unit will not turn on. You will want to have a towel handy to place under the filter to prevent water from leaking out of the filter and into the unit.
Once the cleaning cartridge is installed and the electrode has been installed and the electrode has been connected, set the water at your faucet to hot. The water should not be scalding hot – a temperature that you would use for washing dishes is sufficient.
Divert the hot water to the unit and turn the unit on using the purified setting. Allow the unit to run for 20 to 30 minutes to circulate the citric acid powder through the system which will loosen and flush out mineral scale buildup.
After 20 to 30 minutes, switch the water temperature back to cold and allow the G2 to continue running at the purified setting until the water coming from the dispenser hose is the same temperature as your cold tap water.
Once the temperature of the water coming from the dispenser hose of your G2 water ionizer has returned to normal, turn the unit off and reinstall the #2 filter.
After reinstalling the #2 filter, allow the G2 to run for another minute or two for a final flush of the system.
If your KYK G2 is connected directly to the cold water line you can still use the cleaning cartridge. Hot water makes the cleaning more effective but it is not necessary. If you still have the faucet diverter that came with the unit, you can shut off the water supply below the sink using the T-adapter and "reinstall" the unit using a length of hose and the faucet diverter – if you have a kitchen faucet that isn't compatible with the faucet diverter you can move the unit to another sink that has a compatible faucet.
Another option is to allow the unit to "soak" with the citric acid solution inside. Just run the unit with the cleaning cartridge at the H2O setting for 5 minutes, then shut the unit off and block the acidic drain hose so that the water stays inside the unit. Let the unit soak for up to an hour, then resume the cleaning process outlined above.
Using a cleaning cartridge at recommended intervals keeps the electrodes free of scale buildup which creates a barrier between the electrodes and the water. As this barrier gets thicker over time, you will start to notice that the water is no longer being ionized at the same levels.
If you notice that your KYK G2 water ionizer isn't ionizing as well as it used to – and you've never performed an internal cleaning – try running a cleaning cartridge. Chances are your KYK G2 will start producing ionized water like a brand new machine.


Since I started my Grassfield hall Facebook page 18 months ago, I have had several enquiries from locals about using Grassfield Hall as their wedding venue. What I have come to realise is that this hall means so much to so many….everyone has a story about a christening, a wedding or having their first date with their husband in the dining room here, so it should come as no surprise that local people to Pateley Bridge want to see the hall up and running again. It pains me to turn people away but until we win the lottery we will just have to keep working away at the building renovations, and putting time limits on it at this stage is unrealistic and emotive, and it's important to be happy with where we are at as this process is a long one! So you can imagine how pleased I was when I was approached to cater a small party a few weeks ago,, and then by coincidence another one the weekend after. As I prepared the room before they arrived it struck me that this is what the future holds for Grassfield Hall, it's a house that's meant to be filled with laughter, not the quiet and loneliness of previous years. That evening it was filled with laughter and I loved it, the compliments that we were given about the house were amazing and completely inspiring, as its human nature that when people tell you what a good job you are doing, it pushes you to carry on and keep getting better. So this is the future, love and laughter at Grassfield Hall.

Samoa's ruling HRPP party boosts number after by-elections
5:12 am on 9 October 2006
Samoa's ruling Human Rights Protection party continues to hold more than two thirds majority of the 49 seat parliament, after winning an additional seat in two by-elections held over the week-end.
The HRPP has regained two seats lost after election petition court rulings last month and one seat held by the Opposition for over fifteen years in Aleipata Itupa i lalo constituency, which gives the ruling party 36 seats in parliament.
The preliminary results for the last two by-elections indicate a police superintendent Vui Tupe Ioane, topped the polls in Fa'asalele'aga number four constituency with 333 votes.
But despite the winning candidate supporting the HRPP, he got the full backing of Samoa party leader, Su'a Rimoni Ah Chong, during last Friday's election.
The runner up who polled 298 votes was supported by the former MP and Minister of Broadcasting and Telecommunications, Mulitalo Siafausa Vui.
In Aleipata Itupa i lalo, another HRPP candidate, Muagututi'a Siaosi Meredith, has topped the polls with 519 votes.
The seat for the constituency was held by former Opposition MP, Paepae Kapeli Su'a, who was found guilty of bribery and treating.
The Samoa Democratic United party did not have any candidates because of the controversy surrounding the party which resulted to the resignation of its former leader and a senior MP as members of SDUP caucus.

Every now and then Anthony Watts, blogger at WUWT, takes a whack to his self esteem. Today he was feeling down in the dumps so he took some time to reassure himself and his readers that he really is popular and has lots of visitors. Or his blog is popular. Quantity is what raises the hit count more than quality.
Having said that people don't need to go to blogs to read science, there are a lot of very interesting science blogs on the internet. Way more than Anthony Watts and his band of deniers would come across. I'd guess that science blogs and their combined readership would far outweigh the number of anti-science blogs like WUWT and so would their combined readership.
Anthony compares his blog to realclimate.org and skepticalscience.com among others. They aren't the right comparisons. He should be comparing his site to prisonplanet or infowars or other nonsense blogs that also engage in fantasies and disinformation.
Realclimate.org is about science and run by scientists and is aimed at and read by more educated people, including people with advanced scientific education. SkepticalScience.com is about science and is aimed at a broad cross-section of people, including but not restricted to people who have some higher education but not necessarily a science degree. WUWT is anti-science and run by an ex-TV announcer. It is aimed at a broad cross section of people who don't want to "believe" science.
Realclimate.org only publishes a few articles a month. If one were to calculate Alexa ranking divided by the number of articles posted per month, realclimate.org would be orders of magnitude ahead of WUWT, even though realclimate.org is arguably aimed at a much smaller demographic (more highly educated readers). For example, last month there were four articles at realclimate.org including an open thread (Alexa/posts = 35,603). At WUWT there were approximately 160 articles in September (Alexa/posts = 61). That's not to say that if realclimate.org posted more articles the visits would go up proportionately. Maybe so, but it's more likely a law of diminishing returns would apply.
SkepticalScience.com is a dual purpose website. It's set up as a reference resource where people go to get rebuttals to the sort of nonsense put out by denier blogs like WUWT, to get scientific information on particular topics, and to find links to scientific papers. It also publishes articles on climate topics several times a week.
WUWT is a plain vanilla blog. It is a mix of denialist rant, protest at science, disinformation and the occasional straight republishing of a press release about a scientific paper.
Going by reported demographics, each site is probably hitting their target market. The charts below are from Alexa.
Another thing worth commenting on is the gender stats. WUWT and realclimate.org are run by men and only publish articles written by men (I'm not aware of any exceptions). Skepticalscience is a little bit more gender inclusive. AFAIK it is the only one that, on occasion, posts articles written by women and the stats above suggest that readers respond in kind.
Before you all start to tear strips off me for quoting from Alexa stats - it's only a rough guide I know. I don't know how close to reality the demographics are, either as comparisons between the websites or as data in its own right.
You must be doing something right Mr Watts.
If there's a lawsuit coming I'll be absolutely delighted to funnel some government funding (via my salary) into your cause. I can't believe that the oil-funding trope has survived this long, except that I can believe it – the MSM upholds any lie that helps the causes they believe to be justified. Thanks for all the great work you do, Anthony!
Maybe Mann is basing his statement on your receiving funding from Heartland, and the Koch brothers funding Heartland for the explicit purpose of undermining climate research. I guess I could see how he might come to incorrect conclusions.
Anthony, thanks for your mad dedication that makes all of this possible. I have long held that everyone of importance in the world of climate science reads WUWT, if only to see what's the latest thing that the skeptics and heretics are up to … very well done, my friend, and at an immense cost in time and tending.
Better traffic than Grist! That is an amazing accomplishment.
One of many reasons I visit WUWT so often is the 3 – 10 new articles every day. I don't know how Anthony does it. 'Stamina' seems like too mild a word. Maybe 'mission' is a more accurate explanation.
Someone had to do it — and Anthony stepped up to the plate.
WUWT has what alarmist blogs lack: the courage to allow comments from all sides to be published. Alarmist blogs lack that courage. They heavily censor skeptics' comments, even altering the wording of posts [SkS has actually done that]. They routinely delete' comments that refute their narrative. Who wants that?
Alarmist blogs have become thinly-trafficked echo chambers, populated by like-minded head-nodders. That is no fun. Spirited debate is where the action is! If a comment cannot stand the WUWT peer review process, everyone can see it. Eventually, only the truth is left.
Ugh.. ANY site/.org/.gov entity and or employee and/ or person using emotive-led comments in ATTEMPTING to besmirch or feebly attempt in silencing one's given right to reason have lost the discussion.
If hockey stick putz & his mostly emotive functioning lemmings (i.e. useful idiots) are using vitriol, as we sadly are familiar with when using their cherry picked, 'smoothed' data to fit their conclusion ( 'Interesting' how these AGW supporting ahem 'scientists' already formed a conclusion (?) initially and are then picking and choosing partisan data to support their ahem 'findings') and resorting to name calling and juvenile,devolving-like antics the modicum of discussion is over.
Mann's a deliberately dishonest choad.
I'm sure you will be able to find Mann in 2035 on a where are they now show highlighting the superstar of the AGW hoax as he mumbles on about the thermageddon.
I'm sure that in Year 39 of the Pause, Mikey, if still employed, will have all new lame excuses at the ready, although with Trenberth gone, he'll have to invent them himself.
See my comment about his wanting to run off to government - too subtle perhaps?
For a "small government" ideologue who hates the "nanny state" Anthony sure spends a lot of time running off crying to Mommy (the Judicial arm of government) whenever his feelings get hurt!
Using Alexa for comparisons between sites will give you incorrect data and incorrect answers. It's not reliable as it's not based on direct measurements of traffic. It's something I already tried to explain to Watts.
Another detail is that the rise in Alexa rank doesn't match the data from direct measurements of his blog that are publicly available. This is the strongest hint that this is not a real trend. At best this might be an artefact of some variability in his traffic.
"At best this might be an artefact of some variability in his traffic."
wasn't he pushing his readers to install the Alexa tracker at the time of all the growth?
Yes, the Alexa WUWT spybar is the most likely explanation the fake peak seen in the WUWT Alexa traffic statistics.
Visitors to his website having the Alexa toolbar installed is probably one of the biggest reasons his statistics are overestimated by Alexa.
"the criminal formerly known as Gleick"
Anthony is such a sook.
He is great at dishing it out and arguably libeling others. Over the years he has made all sorts of false accusations and hurled venom against individual scientists, including Prof Mann, and allows his readers to do the same on his blog. Anthony is master of ad hom, failure at science.
Even though it's been demonstrated that a goodly portion of the WUWT commentariat are prone to buying into conspiracy theories (i.e. the whole global warming is a hoax proposition, climate scientists are only in it for the money, new world order, et. al.), it always amazed me that so many of them could fall for the lie from Joe Bast that Gleick faked the Heartland strategy memo. What possible motive could he have had? He already had all the inside info destined for board members that proved what Heartland was up to for the upcoming fiscal year.
And wasn't it the fact that someone anonymously sent him the strategy memo that gave him the idea of impersonating a board member anyway, to see what else he could find out? Revision of history/facts seem to be something these 8% dismissives are pretty good at, and logic is definitely not their strong suit. Sheesh.
Of course the document wasn't faked.
I'm still waiting for whoever it was who set up Peter Gleick to own up to the fact. Perhaps the person who sent Peter the Heartland documents will never admit to it, or maybe it will come out one of these days. Whatever - they did the world a favour, although I don't know that they did Peter a favour.
Yeah, had to be a Heartland insider. Question is, how high up? Was it a trap, or was the anonymous donor of the docs actually trying to do a whistle-blowing act? And... suppose Gleick had only released to journalists what had been originally sent to him, without doing the board member impersonation schtick.
All questions that are likely to never be answered (except for the last one, which is a bit of speculation).


Each year the Association sponsors a reunion. The reunion location is moved around the country each year to give as many members as possible an opportunity to attend. Every five years the reunion returns to Schofield Barracks.


Applegate has a strong, consistent and highly-qualified staff. We bring a wealth of experience to the program, yet we still continue to observe and learn new things about preschoolers all the time! Teachers attend daily staff meetings, during which they review the day from each of their perspectives, discuss how the children are doing and make adjustments to the weekly curriculum plan, as appropriate.
Our teachers strive to provide a warm and welcoming "family-style" environment for children and parents, planning a weekly curriculum around the interests and abilities of preschoolers. The staff is well trained in child development, facilitation of social skills and fostering readiness for the next level of schooling. Teachers work closely with parents and children to make each child's Applegate experience unique and rewarding.

What to do in Thailand, and What To Do In Bangkok Saturday Night

9/08/2008�� A few weeks ago I had to send in my PS3 for replacement due to the disc drive failing to work. I, of course, backed up my data to an external HD. how to fix a cracked cd with tape This is a very common PS3 problem and the only options you have to fix it is either call Sony and send it to them or do it yourself. The only problem with the first option is that Sony will take around 2 months to fix this SMALL problem and will charge you around 120$.

While it has taken some time, HD remakes seem to be catching on. As of right now, the only officially announced HD remakes on the way is the Sly Cooper HD remakes.
Ubisoft looks to be getting in on the fun though as Amazon France has two listings: one is Splinter Cell Trilogy and the other is Prince of Persia Trilogy. Both titles are listed for the PlayStation 3.
Of course, neither of these titles are officially confirmed. Seems a bit odd though. Splinter Cell: Conviction was a Xbox 360 exclusive but, if these listings are correct, the trilogy is a PlayStation 3 exclusive.

Julia Wright Merrill (1881-1961)
Julia Wright Merrill was inducted into the Wisconsin Library Hall of Fame on November 4 at the WLA Conference in Wisconsin Dells. Merrill worked for the Wisconsin Free Library Commission on two occasions. From 1903 to 1906 she taught in the WFLC's library school during the summer and served as a field agent the rest of the year. She also served as a field agent and instructed part time at the library school from 1917 to 1922. From 1925 to 1946 she worked at the American Library Association serving in a variety of capacities. She was the first Executive Secretary of the Public Library Association of ALA. She was a national leader in the extension of public library service. She is included in the Dictionary of American Library Biography, a highly selective compilation of those who have made the greatest contribution to library development in the United States. Merrill has also been inducted into the Ohio Library Hall of Fame (1975). Joyce Latham, Assistant Professor, UW-Milwaukee will be presented a program at the WLA Conference in Wisconsin Dells on November 5 entitled "'Circuit Rider': Julia Wright Merrill and Public Library Extensi0n, 1926 -1944". Latham writes about Merrill: "She had a reputation as a quiet but committed advocate for libraries, was well-liked and well respected, but was consistently overshadowed by Carl Milam, the executive secretary of the association. Given the financial limitations on the ALA during this time, she often functioned as his number two, serving as the Acting Executive Secretary while he was away. However, the lists of great women in librarianship fail to include her and her listing in the Dictionary of American Library Biography is minimal. Hopefully, induction into the Wisconsin Library Hall of Fame will provide greater exposure to the contributions to this public library extension pioneer.

No re-authoring. You shouldn't have to drop everything and re-write all of your learning materials in order to deliver a seamless mobile experience. There are platforms that allow cutting edge mobile and digital delivery without re-authoring.
Make sure it's really mobile. Many systems boast mobility, but don't deliver a truly mobile experience. There is a big difference in ease-of-use and functionality between a web browser on a mobile device and a native app. Always make sure your mobility is warranted by an app for the best mobile delivery possible.
Has to be interactive. To truly engage the learner and ensure they retain the information, the materials must be interactive. Highlighting, note-taking, collaborating should all be available within the app. Search capability makes a huge positive impact as well, and helps the learner to find what they need much faster.
Updates or changes can be made instantly. Make sure whatever mobile resource you employ has the ability to instantly update. When you push a change, it should automatically disperse to every user, on any device.
It has to be secure. Security is a top priority when it comes to corporate learning materials, which is why whatever platform you use to go mobile, must have a Digital Rights Management (DRM) system. A DRM makes sure that control of who sees content remains with the administrators. For example, if someone resigns, admin can immediately pull their rights to content off of their devices without worry.
Has to support a variety of formats. You should be able to upload and distribute any format of content that you have, including video. PDFs, Word docs, PowerPoints, and more should be easily supported.
Must be easy-to-use for learner and administrator. Find a mobile resource that is easy and doesn't require training to use. Administrators can relax knowing their mobile delivery is seamless while learners engage with their materials in an easy-to-use way.
Make sure your mobile resource is right for your company's learning needs and engages learners seamlessly.

We believe that the crises we are facing as species go deeper than even the institutions that organize our societies. We believe that the philosophies and worldviews underlying our major social institutions are fundamentally flawed and incapable of responding to the complex challenges of our current era. Thus a comprehensive alternative is needed.
We believe that the Philosophy of Wildseed could be the beginning of such a comprehensive alternative.
The Philosophy of WildSeed is a praxis (a practice of acting, reflecting on that action and then acting again with wisdom gleaned from that reflection) of individual sensing combined with collective meaning making; building and iterating on a world in which everyone can get their needs met with dignity and joy.
This praxis will naturally look different for different people, in different contexts at different times.It will also be interpreted differently by people with different ontologies.
Most importantly, it will evolve as we learn more about ourselves and the world, possibly even invalidating things we once held dear.
Yet we believe it is sound enough in its current outline to be the basis on which we build our new social forms, enterprises and institutions for WildSeed.
In general, the philosophy of WildSeed believes that Science, Mysticism, Philosophy and the Humanities should inform each other so as to best guide humanity's collective actions.
We see them as nested traditions which have a role to play in answering the questions that arise in trying to live in alignment with the classical Greek inspired categories of the beautiful, the good and the true.
It has ten major commitment at this time:
An ontological commitment to relationality or process. That is a fancy way of saying a central belief that relationships help define us and everything else that exists; that things can only be fully understood in relation to others things.
An ontological commitment to holarchy, of a world organized as systems within systems. This follows from the commitment to relationality. It is an understanding that the universe is organized not just in relationships and processes but that those relationships and processes are systemic. A system is a pattern of events whose properties are owed more to the organizations of its parts than the components of its parts.
An ontological commitment to consciousness and spirit as systemic properties of existence. Following the work of Joanna Macy and the Dharma of Natural Systems, we believe that spirit and consciousness are the result of the complexity of the universe rather than independent things. Specifically, consciousness is the subjective experience of internal aspects of systems. It is a thing that arises within complex relationships rather than a specific quality of the material that makes up our neurons for example.
An ontological commitment to the human being as a process of becoming. This means that humans are always in process defined by the quality and nature of our being not by what we do or produce. To be human is not to do rational things or have logical explanations. To be human is to have the capacity to reason true but also to feel, to imagine, to desire, to be connected to the universe and to be able to see the universe in ourselves and ourselves in the universe.
An ontological commitment to the reality of society. This might be a strange thing to say explicitly but we live in a world in which Margaret Thatcher famously stated there is no such thing as society and then politicians around the globe began to set policy as if this were true. Yet the Philosophies of WildSeed believes that society exist as something other than the sum of the individuals and materials that comprise it. The realm of the social has properties of its own that arise from the organization of materials and people that comprise it.
Following from these ontological commitments is a metaphysics (rules that we believe govern the things we believe to exist) based in mutual causality. This metaphysics askews ideas of prime movers or first causes of a created universe. In this view the universe is a self-organizing system that has consciousness (though adherents differ as to whether it has sentience or intent). This self-organization exists in relationships of mutual causality (similar to what in Buddhism is often called paticca samuppada or dependent co-arising.) Under mutual causality all causes are interdependent on each other with no thing, action or single process being determinate.
A metaphysical commitment to systemic polycentrism, a world in which different rules govern different levels of systems. Systemic polycentrism is the belief that different levels of systems operate by different rules. This means that the laws of biology don't necessarily boil down into the laws of physics.
Following from those metaphysics is an epistemology (a theory of what is knowable and how we can know it) of ambiguity. Things are ambiguous to humans and that ambiguity is largely unavoidable because to understand something conceptually we must name and define it. To name and define is to narrow the suchness or vastness of things to make them more delineable and categorizable than they really are. There is a loss of understanding in the rational conception. Thus all language and models are "fingers pointing at a moon" not even a full description of the moon and certainly not the moon itself.
In addition to the epistemology of ambiguity is an epistemology of the conditioned brain. This is the belief that our brains and states of consciousness get conditioned through use and experience. Thus, overall, our brains can be said to be finetuned by environment and at least partially culturally conditioned. Thus not only are our identities and institutions socially constructed but the physical infrastructure of our cognition is as well.
10. Following from the metaphysics of ambiguity is an ethic of skillful right action. This means choosing actions from the deepest insight available that most contribute to Liberation as you see it while leaving as many options open for other people to pursue their own interpretations of Liberation as possible.

Needles found in strawberries in NZ
5:03pm Sep 23, 2018
A punnet of Australian strawberries contaminated with needles has been found in New Zealand in the first such reported case across the Tasman.
The fruit, imported from Western Australia and sold under the Choice brand, had been sold at a supermarket in Auckland, Woolworths-owned Countdown - one of NZ's two major supermarket groups.
Countdown said on Sunday that remaining stock of the brand was pulled off its shelves. It was sold nationwide last week and had not previously been flagged as a concern.
New Zealand police said the customer who had bought the strawberries had discovered the needles before any were eaten and no one had been injured.
"Police are taking this report seriously and are investigating together with our colleagues at the Ministry for Primary Industries," a spokeswoman said.
Countdown said it had also alerted authorities in Australia.
It is urging NZ residents to cut up strawberries before eating them.

'Don't be evil' NZ tells Google
The company earlier this week announced it had stopped importing further Australian strawberries as a precaution, following scares across the states, while competitor Foodstuffs halted distribution to its stores.
Australian strawberries are exported to NZ from April to September and local strawberries began appearing on shelves this week in their place.
More than a dozen instances of strawberry contamination have been reported in WA, while more than 100 reports of tampered fruit are being investigated by police across Australia.
