Plant and animal cells have several differences and similarities. For example, animal cells do not have a cell wall or chloroplasts but plant cells do. Animal cells are mostly round and irregular in shape while plant cells have fixed, rectangular shapes. Plant and animal cells are both eukaryotic... Plant cells have large vacuoles to store large amounts of water, they have cell walls unlike animal cells that provide structure for the plant and contain chlorophyl, and they have chloroplasts which also contain chlorophyl and are where photosynthesis takes place.
Although plant and animal cells are extremely similar in many ways, the differences between them are highly significant. In animal cells, the mitochondria provide the cells with energy they have synthesized from food. In plants, it is the chloroplasts who do this job, using sunlight and chlorophyll to create energy. Plant cells also have a rigid cell wall whilst animal cells do not. These the jaguar the roams the mind free pdf The two main types of biological cells are prokaryotic cells (also called prokaryotes and bacterial cells) and eukaryotic cells (also called eukaryotes, which include plant cells and animal cells). This page includes a table listing the differences between plant, animal and bacterial cells.
Differences Between Plant and Animal Cells Let's start by explaining the basic structure that each cell has before we explore the differences in more detail. Both plant and animal cells are Eukaryotic (single-cell organisms have a simpler, prokaryotic structure).
In spite of the basic differences, a plant cell and an animal cell have many parts and structures in common. The primary cell organelles such as the nucleus, mitochondria, ribosomes, etc., are present in both types of cells.
Both plant and animal cells contain vacuoles, which are organelles that store waste materials, nutrients and water. The difference between plant and animal vacuoles is that plants have one large vacuole enclosed by a membrane and animal cells have many, smaller vacuoles.
Plant cells are generally larger than animal cells. They can be as large as 100 micrometers in diameter. They can be as large as 100 micrometers in diameter. Problem : Vacuoles are most similar to what other organelle found in both plant and animal cells?

NIALL IN THE FAMILY
Inside sources confirm that, as was rumored in the U.K. tabloids over the weekend, One Directioner Niall Horan is indeed inking with Steve Barnett's Capitol following another fierce signing derby.
Modest! manager Richard Griffiths, who reps 1D, will continue to manage the Brit heartthrob, whose social footprint among the group's fans is second only to that of erstwhile bandmate Harry Styles (himself freshly signed as a solo act). The word from people who've heard Niall's record is that it's outstanding.
For those of you keeping score, UMG has two of the lads, Liam Payne (on Capitol U.K.) and now Niall; Uni is thus tied with Sony, which now has Styles on Columbia and ZAYN on RCA. SYCO's Simon Cowell apparently thought he would prevail this time on behalf of the label group. Would Niall have been placed with Epic in the U.S. had he done so? In any case, the ultimate destination of potential tiebreaker Louis Tomlinson remains TBD.

Wonderful 101 soundtrack leaving digital storefronts after December; Kamiya reminisces
Posted on 4 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Via their official blog, Platinum Games announced today that both volumes of the official The Wonderful 101 Original Soundtrack won't be available on digital storefronts after December 31st. Platinum Games did not state a reason for this. Nonetheless, some key figures at Platinum Games took this chance to reminisce about the soundtrack. First up is director Hideki Kamiya:
I'm sad to say that TW101's soundtrack is being taken out of distribution. I hope, though, that this announcement reaches as many people as possible and introduces new fans to TW101 and its soundtrack. I'd like to apologize in advance to anyone who, years from now, finds out about TW101 and gets disappointed to see that its original soundtrack isn't available.
I've said this before, but if there's one phrase that sums up TW101's soundtrack, "hymns to heroism" would be it. As you've probably figured out if you've played TW101, I've loved superheroes ever since I was a kid. I've been blessed with several chances to make games about them throughout my career, even before TW101. But TW101 is the game where I really crammed in as much as I could of what makes heroes so appealing – both their aesthetics, and how they inspire us and give us something to aspire to – to capture what heroes mean to me.
So of course we put special care into the background music that colors the game as well. Superheroes shoulder the burdens of the whole world, and they risk their lives to fight for those weaker than themselves. Their souls shine bright. We aimed to express this through a symphonic orchestral sound, and the result of all our composers' hard work was a lot of brilliant music.
The tracks appear on the soundtrack in the same order they're used in the game, so you can experience the heroic story of the Wonderful Ones and their thrilling battles just by listening to it. This goes out to people who've played the game, of course, but also to people who haven't played it yet: Please close your eyes and listen, imagining the heroes' brief but tumultuous journey, and rally your own fighting spirit to Unite Up and face tomorrow.
…And oh yeah, please share this announcement with everyone you can, because again, I'd love for it to reach as many people as possible. Let's give everyone a chance to get this special soundtrack before it's gone.
Head past the break for a comment from Hiroshi Yamaguchi, the game's composer:

PlatinumGames translates blog post about The Wonderful 101 secret codes
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
We recently posted some information about The Wonderful 101 about how to unlock special characters in the Wii U game. That information came from a Japanese PlatinumGames blog post, which has since been translated.
Check out an excerpt below.
Can you believe it's already been 2 weeks since Bayonetta 2 released!?
Sometimes people tell me that game is the sole reason they bought a Wii U! Of course that makes us really, really happy, but while you're at it, why not try The Wonderful 101 as well!? (Although I guess if you're here on this site, reading this, you probably already have…)
Right, with that out of the way, I have a secret to share with you today!
We've been getting some messages here and there from people who are having trouble unlocking Wonder-Bayonetta in The Wonderful 101.
And with good reason! Out of all of the hidden characters in this game, Wonder-Bayo is by far the most difficult to get your hands on.
Our raven-haired beauty only shows herself to those who find all of the hidden items, fight the toughest enemies, and overcome the hardest challenges: only the most persistent and indomitable heroes!
You can find the full English post from Platinum here.

Kamiya announces Wonderful 101 soundtrack launching September 15
Posted on 6 years ago by Kirara Koneko(@KiraraKoneko) in General Nintendo, News | 2 Comments
With the one year anniversary of The Wonderful 101 upon us, director Kamiya has just announced via the Platinum Games blog that they will be releasing a total of 127 tracks via iTunes on September 15.
They will release in two volumes costing $9.99 a piece or you can purchase individulal tracks for $.99
Here are some comments about the soundtrack from Kamiya;
"The sound quality is a step up from the music in the game itself, so even those of you who spent hours in the Sound Test are in for a treat. The theme song for the game, "The Won-Stoppable Wonderful 100", has also been remastered. The game version of the track was edited to loop endlessly, so we got Hiroshi (lead BGM composer) to go back and give the song a fitting conclusion. The soundtrack is the only place you'll find this version."
"To give you some background on the music direction from my perspective as director, I began by explaining to Hiroshi that I wanted to use an orchestral style to capture the feeling of an epic battle. I imagine the initial impression many people have of the game is a bunch of cute characters frolicking around a colorful world. However, my plan from the start was to create a unique feel by having this light-hearted world juxtaposed with the daunting threat of a massive alien invasion. To do this heroic ballad justice, we needed an equally grand orchestra. A cute exterior with an epic and dark heart; you could almost call the game "a wolf in sheep's clothing". Of course, having this ferocity extend to the game's difficulty may have deviated a bit from the plan…"

Film Friday VI: "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"
For my sixth Film Friday, I am going to choose a movie, that I figured would be so fitting for this first week back to school for everyone, who is not in college. I am picking another one of my favorite comedy movies, and it is 1986's Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
What the movie is about is this kid, Ferris Bueller, doesn't want to go to high school one day. He pretends to be sick, and convinces his best friend, Cameron, to stay home too. He then has Cameron steal his step-father's Ferrari. He then goes to his school dressed up in a coat and hat to pick up his girlfriend, Sloane. After he gets his crew together, they go around the town, and leave the Ferrari to two garage attendants, who take it on a joyride that puts hundreds of miles on the odometer. They go to the Sears Tower, an art museum, two fancy resturants, (where he almost gets caught by his father in the first one), a Chicago Cubs game at Wrigley Field, and a couple of other places.
They then crash a parade, and lip-syncs Wayne Newton's "Danke Schoen", and then my favorite part, when he does it again with The Beatles version of "Twist and Shout", (as his father is dancing to him in his office, right above him!) This whole time, the principal of the school, Edward Rooney, is trying to sneak into Ferris's house to expose him for ditching school, and then it would be grounds to suspend him, and not allow him to graduate.
Ferris's sister, Jeannie gets home to try to expose that he is faking his sickness. When she tries to call their mother, she notices that Rooney is in the house and she knocks him out with a frying pan. She calls the police, but he escapes, as he tries to rescue his illegally parked car, from being towed. She get arrested for making a false claim, and goes to the station, where she makes out with a young Charlie Sheen.
When the gang gets the car back, and they see the odometer, it stuns Cameron into silence. They then try to jack the car up and run it in reverse to get the miles off of the car. They succeed in getting 0.2 miles off. Cameron then leans on the car, and it hits the ground running in reverse, flies out of the back of the house, down a cliff, and gets destroyed. He then is ok taking the blame for it, and standing up to his step-father. Ferris then drops of his girlfriend, runs back home to beat his mother and Jeannie as they are coming home from the station, and just makes it back to his bed to show his parents that he was in bed all day.
I love this movie, because I would NEVER do this. I had perfect attendance from the middle of seventh grade, all of eighth grade, and all four years of high school. Also I had perfect attendance in first, third, fourth, and fifth grades, and only missed like four combined weeks through kindergarten, second, sixth, and seventh grades. This movie has it all, humor, seriousness, music, sports, The Beatles, and excellent actors. This movie is still relevant to this day, and a few years ago, during a Super Bowl commercial, Matthew Broderick, who played Ferris Bueller, recreates some of the classic scenes from the film.
If you haven't seen this film yet, it is an absolute must!
Have you ever seen the film? Would you want to see this film? If you have, then what are you favorite parts from it?
Quotes of the Day: "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around for a while, you could miss it." - Ferris Bueller
"How could I possibly be expected to handle school on a day like this!" - Ferris Bueller

Buried Treasure: Key (SHINee) – Guilty Pleasure
Key never delivers a bad album. So, when I say Gasoline is not as consistently strong as past releases, it's less a knock on the album itself and more a recognition of the standard he's set for himself. For me, Gasoline drags in the middle. But, its first five songs (and of course, Another Life) make for a solid salvo. When I perused the tracklist before release, my eyes instantly fell upon the single production credit from LDN Noise. I knew we'd be in safe hands with this song. 'LDN Noise + SHINee' has given us View, Married To The Music, Guess Who, Shift and more. It's a foolproof match-up, and Guilty Pleasure is another feather in their cap.
I mean, this song has my name written all over it. I'll never not love a dance track at this tempo – especially when it's underpinned by such a delicious blend of synths. Like so many of my favorite pop songs, Guilty Pleasure is all tension and release. The verses build anticipation, pulled forward by icy synth strings and a looping groove that feels as if it might stretch for infinity.
Then, the chorus tugs on the rhythm, yanking back and punching forward. I've often compared this technique to a jet ski speeding through a body of water, relentlessly moving forward but hitting the brunt of waves as it makes its acceleration. It's one of those sensations I love in music, and I have the feeling Key shares my opinion. This pleasure is anything but guilty. It's an album highlight, and a shining example of Key's dancefloor prowess.

Yassssss.
Also, "Bound" is good too. Deep, soft and slinky.
Bryn says:
Ohh, I love this album so much. One of the best album of 2022 for me. Anyways, does anyone else hear The Weeknd's Sacrifice in this song? The synth line in the beginning sounds very similar to me.
WordStar626 says:
I think the bass synth in "Guilty Pleasure" has a similar timbre to that distorted bass guitar in "Sacrifice" and they both are very notable in the instrumental. And even though the melody's different, they both have notes in a similar range and a mainly ascending melody.
You worded it perfectly. My not so musical mind can't string those sentences, but that's exactly what I mean. 😄😄
nashville piano moving says:
Great album
LostSword says:
Definitely my favorite track from the album, after Another Life. Bound is also amazing!
I feel like much of this album (as well as his other album "Bad Love") feels like something Taemin or even EXO's Kai would release. Nevertheless, we could add Key to the roster of artists who can do retro/synthwave songs well.
With that being said, I really hope Taemin (after he returns from the military) or Kai comes back with a synthwave-focused album that utilizes their full potential. Honestly, I feel that their recent work was "dull" and missing that "pop" that makes them stand out from the other soloists, which is a shame. Though, they had some of the best songs of 2020 in my opinion ("Criminal", "Nothing on Me", "Ride or Die"), so it would be nice if they do something along the lines of them.
Guilty Pleasure, Bound, Burn, Delight, Another Life, and I Can't Sleep were all added to my music collection on first listen. I do like Guilty Pleasure quite a bit, and I remember feeling not at all guilty about liking the song. I like your description of the tug on the rhythm in the chorus. That was one thing that stood out to me about the song on my first listen, and you've described it super effectively!
The track that tripped my personal musical bias the hardest (other than Another Life) was I Can't Sleep. I'm a sucker for the vocal build in the choruses of that one. That and Another Life are my favorites on the album. Can't choose between the two of them. Solid release overall!!
festi noverini says:
Completely agree on the first five songs & Another Life. LDN noise is my most favourite producer in K-pop, so automatically Guilty Pleasure is the track that I anticipated the most. Unfortunately, it sounds too much like EXO's Gravity, which for me is one of EXO's best. I have no problem with them being similar, it's just that Guilty Pleasure feels lacking a little of that catchy melody found in Gravity
Pickle says:
Will you post a Buried Treasure for Twice's latest album?
Probably not. It's solid, but nothing really stuck out at me beyond the title.
spectrales says:
I love your comment about Key and the sensation of jet skis, since he used to be an actual pro water skier in his youth lol.
Anyway I do agree about the album, I think what it may be missing when stacked up against his previous releases is more striking sounds. A few too many safe melodies and not very inspired production choices across the track list, I could've done with just a tad more "out-of-the-box." As a collection of fun, solid pop songs it does certainly deliver though!
That's funny! I was unaware of his past.
Deer says:
The album's a no skip for me
softclocks says:
Torn between Guilty Pleasure, Burn, Bound, Villain, Another Life and Gasoline…
It's another no-skip from the legend.
'Bound' or 'I can't sleep' would be my buried treasure. First Taemin and now Key. I'm starting to really like the SHINee members solo work. They are such great artists. I might have to check out Onew and Minho's music next.
in my opinion jonghyun & taemin have the most solid solo works, followed by key (but he's almost up there with the two), onew then minho
I never really checked out Jonghyun's b-sides. I always checked his title tracks though. 'Lonely' was the only one I really liked and that album was the only one I ever checked out. I assumed that his main sound across his discography would be similar. Not really my cup of tea. I do sometimes miss his voice though.
Guilty Pleasure is one of my top picks too! I also love Burn, Another Life and Villain is starting to really grow on me. It is a really solid album, and probably one of my favorites from this year. I didn't dislike any of the tracks on this.
I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. That's all I got. I love this album so much. This album makes me so happy. It's so great.

BEP 345 – Management English: Conflict Resolution (2)
Advanced, Business English, Human Resources, Management English / July 9, 2019 January 6, 2023
https://traffic.libsyn.com/bizpod/BEP345-Conflict-Resolution2.mp3
Welcome back to Business English Pod for today's lesson on resolving conflict in the workplace.
Conflict happens. There's no way around it. But not everyone has the same attitude toward conflict. Some people run from it, or refuse to even admit it exists. Other people acknowledge it but simply hope it goes away on its own. And some people are able to approach it with confidence, dealing with it openly and honestly.
The first step in conflict resolution is for the people involved to sit down and try to work it out themselves. But that doesn't always work, and in many cases it takes a third party to attempt to find solutions. That third party might be a peer, or colleague. But mostly it's a manager or leader. In fact, helping mediate conflict between people is an important function of a manager.
Effective mediation is a tricky business. You need to help people have the open and honest conversations that they might not be able to have on their own. Part of that involves ensuring each person has their turn to speak. One of your aims, of course, is common understanding, so you may need to encourage empathy and confirm understanding at different steps along the way.
As a conflict mediator, your ultimate aim it to find a solution. To do that, you'll want to have people agree on a common goal. You may also ask them to focus on positive actions, rather than negative ones. Positive actions are more solution-focused.
In today's dialog, we'll continue hearing about a conflict between Trevor and Andrew, two retail managers in the same company. Trevor has tried talking with Andrew about their personal conflict, but they haven't been able to reach a clear solution. So their boss Ann has stepped in as a third-party to help resolve the conflict.
1. What does Ann do when Trevor interrupts Andrew at the start of the dialog?
2. After Andrew explains his side of the story, what does Ann ask Trevor?
3. What is the common goal for the solution Ann proposes?

This FREE 20 minute class is a great, relaxed way to get acclimated to the aquatic environment through water exploration, time on their back and tummy and movement through the water. This class is also a great way to enjoy parent-child bonding. The student/teacher ratio is 8 to 1.
Through happy songs and fun games, the SwimBabies learn socialization skills, water safety, gross motor skills, peer motivation and self-esteem. The baby swimming lessons begins exploring breath control, balance and buoyancy. The student/teacher ratio is 6 to 1.
The swimmer is able to float and balance in the horizontal/supine position in order to learn proper locomotion and propulsion. They learn to manipulate and utilize specific muscle groups through the abdominal wall to gain strength and better rotation around the spine, preparing them for proper arm extension through their stroke. Students also begin to learn the kick for freestyle/backstroke and elementary backstroke/breaststroke. The student/teacher ratio is 4 to 1.
The swimmers practice vertical balance with positive buoyancy, improving breath control and expanding their subconscious awareness of water movement, an EXCELLENT way to gain stroke efficiency! Children begin to develop a greater ability to utilize core body strength in association with their arms and stroke. SwimStars work on putting all the pieces together for freestyle, backstroke and elementary backstroke. This process entails perfecting arms, breathing, and stroke timing in association with head and body rotation. Skills to develop butterfly and breaststroke are implemented in this program, including body dolphin and a focus on somersaults. Children are also improving skills in negative buoyancy, which leads to better underwater swimming in starts and turns. The student/teacher ratio is 4 to 1.
This program is an extension of SwimStars in that students continue to gain strength but are not quite ready to advance to SwimWinners. Swimmers continue to develop an understanding of how to utilize the water for proper stroke technique. Swimmers students perfect freestyle and backstroke. Expanding the child's subconscious awareness of the aquatic environment is THE emphasis of this course. Children will improve comfort, efficiency and develop spatial awareness in the water. They are now learning how to manipulate their "center of buoyancy" (i.e. lungs) in accordance with their core body strength for propulsion in breaststroke, underwater dolphin kick, and butterfly. Arm strokes and gross motor skills become more efficient. Dives and streamlines are refined. 6 to 1 student/teacher ratio.
Children are now proficient in freestyle and backstroke and skilled in breaststroke and butterfly. They are learning how to refine their body positioning to improve hydrodynamic states. Children learn how to effectively incorporate their arms, utilizing the momentum of the stroke to its maximum. With the emphasis of our program being centered on the core body, skills and drills are still practiced to strengthen the abdominal wall. Proper starts, wall work, turns and finishes are practiced. Endurance is gained. This is a one-hour class with a 15 to 2 student/teacher ratio.
For children who need individual attention to achieve success, SwimJim is pleased to offer private lessons with our talented staff. Privates are designed to develop strong competency in the water and transition the student to the group class environment.
This is the introduction to the water and the joy of swimming. Students in this program are gaining comfort in the water while learning body control. The instructors are teaching the student horizontal balance via the water's surface in the prone (front) and supine (back) position. This strengthens the core body and teaches proper spinal alignment for front and back floatation and proper stroke efficiency. Students begin to learn negative buoyancy, submersions, as well as propulsion. They gain ground on proper breath control and water safety. This is a one-hour class.
The swimmers practice vertical balance with positive buoyancy, improving breath control and expanding their subconscious awareness of water movement. Students begin to develop a greater ability to utilize core body strength in association with their arms and stroke. The swimmer will work on putting all the pieces together for freestyle, backstroke and elementary backstroke, which entails perfecting arms, breathing and stroke timing. Skills to assist in developing butterfly and breaststroke are implemented in this program, including body dolphin and somersaults. The student is also improving skills in negative buoyancy, which leads to better underwater swimming in starts and turns. This is a one-hour class.
This class is designed for the competent swimmer who needs to learn breaststroke, butterfly, and refine all competitive strokes. Swimmers apply and coordinate balance, buoyancy and body position to improve efficiency and hydrodynamics. Through continued emphasis on strengthening the core body, swimmers are gaining the benefits of improved posture on land and in the water. Connecting arm propulsion to core body strength is emphasized. Proper dives and turns are practiced. This is a one-hour class.

So, answer me this, What is YOUR poison?
If we're talking about stuff that just kinda brings us out of commission, then I'm gonna have to say that Reese's spread, too much of that and I will feel sick. In other words, too much peanut butter chocolate.
Combat Pragmatistic - use any weapon at hand. Even if "at hand" means "the contents of your digestive tract.
Rice with apples and cinamons. What is funny I like every of it.
Beside that I would say arsen, yeah arsen is good poison.
For some reason rice makes me feel sick an hour or two after I've eaten it. A possible intolerance, and that's sad, I liked rice before this started.
Raw meat and bone marrow spiced up with all the hot sauce I can find.
You can poison me with Woodchucks.
I guess puke is green in the comics? Prolly depends on what you've been eating, but didn't take Nelly for a salad eater.
Hot cocoa. Can't drink the stuff and not feel like my stomach is twisted in a knot.
Literal poisons? 50% of anything the hospital has. 100% of anything in excessive dosage (including water, look it up). 30% of all plant life. 70% of all insects. These are approximations.
Personal poisons? Shellfish.... turns my guts to slush.
Poison for me would be bananas, I don't know why or when that started, but after I ate a banana my stomach feels like it's cramping up and it hurts, not a nice feeling, luckily self made banana milkshakes don't have as strong of an impact like pure banana, I wouldn't want to give up on bananas completely.
my poison would be benadrill and guacamole benadrill makes my heart beat at abnormal speeds and guacamole looks like it came from a babies arse no offense to anyone that likes guacamole.
Stuff with absurd amounts of tart cherries, like cherry pie. very bad experience with cherry pie as a kid, ever since I can't look at one without cringing.
I really like the face the Dreamie is making in the last panel. It even make me feel disturbed.
My personal POISON would be every GIFT i ever got and gonna get.
Ok, my real poison is probably chocolate, it's the bane of my life. But i just can't get enough of that stuff!

Disney Just Shared Its Beignets Recipe & They're Literally Shaped Like Mickey Mouse
Most of the ingredients are probably in your pantry right now.
Break out those mouse ears and start practicing your "oh boy!" because Disney shared its Mickey Mouse beignets recipe. They're sweet! They're fried! They're shaped like the most iconic Disney character! There is little else you could ask of a dessert.
If you're unfamiliar with beignets, my condolences. Essentially, they're deep-fried dough balls typically covered in powdered sugar. However, they are greater than the sum of their parts. They're light and sweet. They're extremely New Orleans and as delicious as they sound. They're basically like a donut on X-Games mode. When you're ready to make the Mickey Mouse beignets, here's what you'll need:
An egg
The ability to wait for yeast to dissolve and dough to proof
The initial part of the recipe is relatively simple. There's some dissolving yeast in water. There's mixing your ingredients and waiting for the dough to proof. The hardest part of this recipe is waiting for the one to one-and-a-half hours for the dough to proof. You can take that time to think about how delicious your beignet is going to be or how you can realign your life to accommodate constant beignets.
To make them Mickey Mouse-shaped, you'll need a cookie cutter in the shape of Mickey Mouse, obviously. There's a set of Mickey and Minnie Mouse cookie cutters available from shopDisney. However, you could use whatever cookie cutter you've got on hand to make them whatever shape you'd like. Make star beignets. Make heart beignets. Make Christmas tree beignets because why not.
These Disney beignets — typically served in New Orleans Square and Disney's Port Orleans Resort French Quarter — are about as close to going to a Disney park from the comfort of your home as you can get. So far, the reviews are overwhelmingly positive. A few people who tried the recipe added more yeast than the recipe calls for. One person recommends an entire packet of yeast, which is a little more than ½ tablespoon. Another made the recipe vegan, adding in plant-based substitutes for the cream and egg. (You can find vegan egg substitutes and plant-based milk and cream at most grocery stores now. You could also try making your own vegan cream at home.)
In the Disney Parks, the beignets are typically served with raspberry and vanilla dipping sauces, but you can serve yours however you'd like. Top them with a drizzle of Nutella. Make a sauce from your favorite fruit preserves and finish it off with fresh fruit. Add a big honkin' scoop of ice cream. There is really no wrong way to a beignet. The Disney Parks blog recommends pairing the treat with a viewing of "The Princess and the Frog," which arguably is the best accompaniment for this treat.

But most importantly, the volunteers didn't push him: not to give them his name, not to tell them his story, not to do anything.
What the volunteers did do was feed Charlie a warm meal every time he came through the door, and knit him a blanket and hat for the winter months.
Slowly, Charlie began to open up to volunteers, said Angels and Sparrows founder Sandy Tilley.
Charlie's last name was not used in this article to protect his privacy.
Charlie revealed to soup kitchen volunteers that he'd endured severe family losses during his life.
Then, one day, Charlie came into the soup kitchen barely recognizable. He'd cut his hair, shaved his face, bought new clothes.
"I was amazed. He told me, 'I've been a recluse for 40 years. This soup kitchen has saved my life,'" said Tilley.
For many, Angels and Sparrows gives more than just food to fill empty stomachs. The soup kitchen provides support and friendship.
Representatives from every walk of life visit the soup kitchen each day, said Tilley.
And although most of her patrons aren't homeless, many live in dire housing conditions. Some do not have windows on their homes and others don't have indoor plumbing or heat.
At least here, said volunteer Anne McGraw of Charlotte, patrons feel comfortable. "They feel at home here," she said.
Angels and Sparrows opened its doors two years ago, but Tilley has been dreaming of starting a soup kitchen for decades.
Although Tilley's parents were alcoholics, she described her childhood home as immaculate and said she was never without food or shelter.
"My parents were loving people, they were just sick," said Tilley.
It wasn't until years later that she found out her extended family had kept her family afloat.
"My mom and dad could have been on the streets if it weren't for my extended family," she said.
In that same spirit, Tilley lends a helping hand to everyone who walks into her soup kitchen. She sits down and talks with them. Perhaps most important, she treats them with dignity and respect.
"I'm empathetic with people," she said. "I can see why they do the things they do and why some people never get out of it - because no one is there to encourage them and tell them they can."
Kathy Peltz, a volunteer since the genesis of Angels and Sparrows, credits the soup kitchen's reputation for quality food and service to Tilley's passion for helping others.
"She puts her heart and soul into every piece of food she makes," said Peltz.
Yet if it hadn't been for a few gracious church members, her ministry might not be standing today, said Tilley.
When Tilley moved to Charlotte from Atlanta and started looking for possible locations, many told her Huntersville wouldn't be appropriate because of its affluent population.
She soon realized that there were pockets of impoverished communities all around town, such as the mobile-home park near the soup kitchen's present location.
After several months of persistence, New Friendship Presbyterian Church USA leased Tilley the land to build a soup kitchen. Independence Hill Baptist Church members volunteered to help her build.
By the end of that first day of construction, Tilley said, they had a roof. Angels and Sparrows opened its doors for its first lunch Oct. 6, 2008.
Since then, traffic has steadily increased. In its first year, the soup kitchen served 22,000 meals. In its second year, that number was up to 35,000.
While the community has delivered her a steady supply of canned food items, bread and volunteers, Tilley said, she really needs help with collecting perishables such as fruit, vegetables and dairy products.
With those products, she'll be able to provide more well-rounded and nutritious meals to the poor - something she said God instructed her to do many years ago.
"It brings me a lot of joy and fulfillment to be able to serve these people," she said. "I have the least amount of money I've ever had, but I couldn't be happier."


Thus, resilience is a response to a new risk profile confronting the world — one linked closely to man-made hazards. Creating resilient infrastructure requires an understanding of this challenge.
Threats to our resilience are still emerging. From extreme weather and rising tides to water depletion, the common thread is this: all are, in one way or another, the unplanned fallout of carbon-based energy. Resilience is a protective shield against such devastation being driven by the unintended consequences of technology.
As the matrix of our economy and society, electricity infrastructure is a critical component of U.S. resilience; centralized power generation and the grid are easy targets when catastrophic events occur. The dependence and vulnerability of the utility infrastructure are the overriding context by which new power generation technology is increasingly evaluated. They anchor the framework within which infrastructure resilience is defined.
But also within that framework is the building stock, which uses 70% of electrical power. Broadly speaking, reducing the energy demand of buildings means reducing dependency, and reducing dependency means reducing vulnerability. But energy-efficient buildings also enhance resilience by widening the range of employable power generation and distribution options.
Buildings that consume high levels of energy demand high capacity and centralized generation, and rely heavily on the grid. High-performance buildings, on the other hand, offer the prospect of cutting electrical power needs to levels that can be met by renewable energy and distributed generation technologies. However, energy efficiency can sometimes mean reducing equipment redundancy, which can, in turn, affect resilience. Building and system designs that seek to improve resilience through efficiency need to address that tension. But if resilience means reducing dependence and vulnerability, then highly efficient buildings need to be a factor in the equation.
The resilience-utility-building relationship identifies another variable: economics. It is widely recognized that building owners choose less energy-efficient options to contain upfront costs, decoupling technological possibilities from deployment realities. At the micro level, the issue is about establishing better market incentives, but at the macro level the question is whether investing in energy-efficient and high-performance buildings represents a net economic gain. If high-performance buildings are an economic growth engine, resilience is not just a shield. It is also a growth strategy.
In the next post, we'll take a closer look at the resilient infrastructure as an economic growth strategy.

Some content in an element may fall outside the element's rendering box for a number of reasons (negative margins, absolute positioning, content exceeding the width/height set for an element, etc.) In cases where this occurs, the 'overflow-y' property describes what to do with the content that exceeds the element's height.
visible: Content is not clipped and may be rendered outside of the element's box.
hidden: Content is clipped and content outside of the element's box is not visible. The size of the clipping region is defined by the 'clip' property.
scroll: Content is clipped as necessary, but a vertical scrollbar is made available where necessary to view the additional, non-visible content. If the Visual media in use is static (such as Print) the content should be treated as if the value was 'visible'.
auto: This value is browser and media dependent, but should allow for a vertical scrollbar if possible in case of overflow.
I didn't know about the overflow-Y CSS code. This would have saved me so much time on past projects… I seem to learn the hard way though – ALWAYS.
Its very nice to understand the concept. good show!!!!
The only problem I have with this is that the scrollbar appears regardless of whether it's needed or not. Any ideas on how to make it appear only when needed? I'm specifically not using 'auto' as I dont want the x axis scrollbar to appear either. Thanks for the markup!
This is brilliant! Thankyou! It also works to crop off excess content that extends outside of the screen resolution using .. overflow-x: hidden; ..
My headache is now gone! Thankyou!
Its working for me fine.
Thanks a lot for sharing such a great post. I think this will help people a lots. Please keep it up.

Amateur Rugby League
It's home rule as Joes break duck
ST JOSEPH'S celebrated their first home win of the Pennine League Premier Division campaign with a 32-16 triumph over Queensbury.
But they had to wait until the hour mark before they put daylight between them and their visitors.
In a tough first half, St Joseph's just held the edge, with a try from the impressive Adam Illingworth and a Neil Barrett penalty making it 6-4.
A converted Joe Gratino try at the start of the second half nudged St Joseph's further ahead before Queensbury hit back to cut the deficit to 12-10.
Fortunately, that was the signal for the home pack to step up a gear, with man-of-the-match Marvin Cox and Phil Simpson leading from the front.
And it wasn't long before the pressure paid off for Lee St Hilaire and Illingworth to add further tries and extend the advantage to 12 points.
Once again, the Bradford visitors struck back to close the gap to 22-16.
But in the closing stages Joes showed their resolve, with Cox and Steve O'Keefe grabbing late scores, with Barrett converting to seal an excellent win.
And head coach Jody Shaw was pleased with the response of his players after last week's defeat at Halifax Irish.
"The lads worked hard in training to fix the little things we didn't do right at Halifax Irish," said Shaw.
"They gave a good account of themselves this week and showed some great attacking play and very resilient defence.
"I was very pleased with the way we showed patience and ground them down. Next up is Clayton at home and, again, it's an important match for us."

Mercator Abandons Plans to Take over Laško
Ljubljana, 19 January (STA) - The management of Mercator, Slovenia's biggest retailer, has decided against publishing a takeover bid for beverage company Pivovarna Laško, citing risks related to the upcoming meeting of Laško shareholders as the reason.
The proposals for the 30 January meeting are a selection of "bitter pills" that Mercator as a prospective buyer could in no way "swallow", the company said in a written statement on Thursday.
One such risk is the proposal to increase share capital by up to 100% at the price of EUR 10 per share, which Mercator says is less than 30% of the fair value of the Laško share as appraised by the valuer commissioned by the Laško management.
Another risk is the possibility of issuing authorised capital in the amount of up to 50% of the company's share capital with the exclusion of preference shares and without set price parameters.
Laško shareholders will in addition decide on the sale of the brewer's 23.34% stake in Mercator as part of the sale of a combined 52.1% stake in the retailer to Croatia's Agrokor.
Mercator's management, which has been opposed to the sale, reiterates that the sale contract with Agrokor in parts derogates from market standards in favour of the buyer.
Mercator moreover decided not to publish a takeover bid for Laško due to the gap between the fair values of the Laško share as apprised by Laško and by Mercator. While the appraisers authorised by Laško set the value at EUR 34, Mercator's valuer set it at EUR 19.
"Considering the price and the value of all effects of restructuring and synergies, the Pivovarna Laško share does not reach the price of EUR 34 for the investor on the assumption that Mercator acquire at least a 75% share in the target company," Mercator said.
Considering the price disparities, Mercator does not expect the owners of major stakes in Laško or the management of Laško to deem bid below EUR 34 adequate, which is why it does not think the takeover with the target threshold of 75% is likely to succeed.
Mercator published its intention to take over Laško on 23 December, announcing a bid for all shares was to be published within 30 days.

Coffee,Emeralds, the legend of El Dorado, the magical world of Macondoare justa fewexamples of things that make Colombia famous; but the most northern country in South America has a lot more to offer. We invite you to discover a new world! Colombia is a countrythat is like its own continent! Its enormous landscape diversity is reflected in themany different regional lifestyles and cultural characteristics thatall blend to create the special charm of Colombia.
You will only truly begin to understand Colombia when you meet its people. Colombians are very warm and welcoming, full of life and are considered as some of the happiest people in the world.
Climate and Travel Season
Colombia can be visited during the whole year and we assume that the visitor gets good weather in every part of the country, apart from some little exceptions.
The intertropical zone in these latitudes makes that the temperature depends on the height above sea level. As a general rule there can be said that per increase in height by 1000 meters the temperature shrinks by 6°C.
There are no seasons in Colombia, they only differentiate between winter (rainy period) and summer (dry period). Normally, the dry period is from December to March and from Juli to August.
The rainy period is generally during April, May, October and November. Whereas it doesn't rain permanently during these months, the rain falls are rather short and occur once a day.
But it is highly important to announce that because of the meteorological phenomenons "El Niño" and "La Niña" it has been very difficult in recent times to predict the weather exactly. Many times the weather really surprised us…
The main vacation an travel season starts with Christmas more or less for the local tourism and ends in January, as well as during Eastern and from the middle of June until the middle of July.

We know a few individuals who loved the unexpected snow!
The South West wasn't too thrilled with the return of the snow and with many businesses having to close their doors over the weekend, some people were glad to see it go.
But the animals at Noah's Ark Zoo Farm have made the most of their snow days. Especially, a few cheeky chaps who met the white stuff for the first time.
The 5 month old African lion cubs, Kojo and Tau, experienced their first snow day this weekend. At first came trepidation, then came intrigue and finally the excitement of playing in the snow.
The cubs were seen rolling and playing together, practicing their pouncing skills and even encouraged Mum, Arusha, to come outside and join in the fun.
Other animals seen enjoying the snow, were the Spectacled Bear brothers, Sonco and Tupa as well as the farm animals.

President Trump Refuses to Condemn Russia over Alexei Navalny Poisoning
President Donald Trump has announced he refuses to condemn Russia over the poisoning of opposition leader Alexei Navalny, saying he has not seen proof.
He said the case was "tragic" but urged reporters to focus instead on China, which he said was a bigger threat to the world than Russia.
Germany and NATO say there is "proof beyond doubt" that Alexei Navalny was attacked with a Novichok nerve agent.
Alexei Navalny's team says he was poisoned on the Kremlin's orders. However, Russia denies this.
On September 5, the Russian foreign ministry suggested that if a Novichok-type nerve agent had indeed been used, it did not necessarily originate in Russia.
Alexei Navalny – an anti-corruption campaigner who has long been the most prominent face of opposition to President Vladimir Putin in Russia – is in a coma in a Berlin hospital having been airlifted there from Siberia, where he fell ill.
Speaking at a press event on September 4, President Trump said he had yet to see evidence of poisoning in the case.
He said: "So I don't know exactly what happened. I think it's tragic, it's terrible, it shouldn't happen. We haven't had any proof yet but I will take a look."

Alexei Navalny Arrested at Moscow Anti-Putin Rally
Alexei Navalny Sentenced to 30 Days Administrative Arrest
President Trump also stopped short of criticizing Vladimir Putin and said Beijing posed a greater threat.
He said: "It is interesting that everybody's always mentioning Russia and I don't mind you mentioning Russia but I think probably China at this point is a nation that you should be talking about much more so."
Tests at a military laboratory in Germany show "beyond doubt" the presence of a Novichok nerve agent, the German government and NATO say.
On September, NATO called for Russia to disclose its Novichok nerve agent program to international monitors. Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said members were united in condemning the "horrific" attack on Alexei Navalny.
Jens Stoltenberg said it required an international response, but gave no further details.
The US National Security Council has pledged to "work with allies and the international community to hold those in Russia accountable".
The brief statement released by the foreign ministry on September 5 noted "multiple hostile statements made against Russia" over Alexei Navalny's illness.
However, experts in Western states and NATO had, it said, for years worked on compounds used to make Novichok nerve agents.
"For example, in the USA, over 150 patents were officially issued to developers of technologies for their combat use," the Russian foreign ministry said.
Under the 1992 Chemical Weapons Convention, Russia and the US committed themselves to eliminating all of their nerve agents and other chemical weapons. The US is expected to destroy its final stockpile be the end of 2023 while Russia officially completed the process in 2017.
The Kremlin has repeatedly denied any involvement in Alexei Navalny's case.
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Germany had not yet shared any findings with Moscow prosecutors and said Russia had "nothing to hide".
Meanwhile a toxicologist in Omsk – where Alexei Navalny was initially treated after the plane he was flying on made an emergency landing – insisted no poison had been found by doctors who examined him there.
"Any external factors could have triggered a sudden deterioration. Even a simple lack of breakfast," said Alexander Sabayev, chief toxicologist for the Omsk region.
Alexei Navalny fell ill last month while on a flight from Siberia to Moscow.
The plane made an emergency landing in Omsk and Russian officials were persuaded to allow him to be airlifted to Germany two days later.
A nerve agent from the Novichok group identified by Germany in the Navalny case was also used to poison ex-spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury. They both survived but a local woman, Dawn Sturgess, died after coming into contact with the poison.

Driving Simulator Steers Kids from Texting at the Wheel: Applied Psychology Popular at Science Festival on the National Mall
Even the youngest visitors to the FABBS Foundation's booth at the USA Science and Engineering Festival Expo got a turn at the wheel.
But when the kids were asked to send a text message while working a foot pedal and steering a car on a video screen, "they were colliding into walls and going off the road," recalled Haneen Saqer, a graduate student at George Mason University who assisted in coordinating the event.
FABBS Foundation joined forces with the George Mason University's Human Factors and Applied Cognition Program to organize the booth at the nation's first-ever science and engineering festival, held October 23-24, 2010, in Washington, DC.
Saqer and classmate Nicole Werner coordinated weekend coverage of the booth, "Where Science Meets the Mind". Seventeen graduate students and two faculty also provided support for the two-day event.
"We know from research that most people don't multitask well," Werner said, explaining the booth's "take-away" message. "When you drive while texting, both tasks suffer."
Safe driving is just one aspect of human factors, the science of applying the ways people think to system designs. Whether the focus is on driving, using automated systems to send drones into space, or designing user-friendly tools or mobile technologies, the overall goal of the science is to improve systems so people's lives are safer, easier and more enjoyable.
Using optical illusion to illustrate differences in perception and reality, the George Mason volunteers held up a white paper with three lines of equal length. Children gathered at the booth all guessed incorrectly that the last line was the longest. On another sheet–is it a B or a 13? Most children said 13, but Werner explained it could be either depending on whether the brain reads the A B C, which appears vertically or the 12 13 14, which appears horizontally.
On yet another sheet, RED is written in yellow, YELLOW is written in red and GREEN is written in blue. "It's a basic psychological principle," Saqer said. "You're trying to focus on the color, but your brain automatically wants to read the words, causing errors and forcing you to go slowly." Psychologists know this as the Stroop task.
The driving simulator was perhaps the biggest draw. "But once they were there, they were interested in the optical illusions," Saqer said.
The organizers and volunteers were pleased not only with the weekend's turnout but also with interest in the FABBS Foundation's booth. At closing time on Sunday night, even elementary-school-aged visitors were still asking questions and asking to participate in the driving simulation.

What happens when inexperienced drivers get behind the wheel?

More than 50 people have been hurt in clashes between rival political groups in two southern towns in Nepal.
The violence took place on Saturday between established political parties and a group that is campaigning for regional autonomy.
Clashes have also broken out in two eastern towns between parties favouring a republic and those wanting to keep the monarchy.
The violence comes as democracy struggles to take root in Nepal.
Many of those injured on Saturday were members of the youth league of the Maoist former rebels.
Reports say they and people from other parties were attacked by the Madhesi People's Rights Forum, which has been demonstrating for the rights of the relatively marginalised southern Nepalese for over two months.
On Thursday and Friday it was pro-royalists who came under attack as their small party tried to hold meetings in two eastern towns.
Students from the parties in Nepal's ruling coalition teamed up with young Maoists to break up the gatherings, injuring five royalist party leaders in one of the attacks.
The royalists were ridiculed, their faces blackened and they were paraded around town with garlands of shoes around their necks.
Student leaders were quoted as saying they would not spare anyone trying to save the monarchy.
A prominent human rights group in Kathmandu condemned the attacks, saying party activists appeared to have forgotten what it called the people's message of last year's mass rallies that secured the restoration of parliament.
The violence shows the still shallow nature of Nepalese democracy.
Prime Minister GP Koirala has said that if assembly elections are held by June as scheduled, they will be taking place in abnormal conditions.
Although the 10-year civil conflict has ended, there are widespread law and order problems, many of them political.
