Selections are open for a job at the Italian research station in Antarctica
by Leodora
The Concordia at the South Pole must fill a vacancy on the team that will experience an icy year. The selection for the Italian research station is underway.
A year in the Concordia, one of the two Italian scientific bases in Antarctica. A year at the edge of the world and far - almost - from everyone. An extreme experience, of course, but a significant one, and one that will certainly not be forgotten. Very few, in fact, can say that they have seen Antarctica in person, let alone how many, therefore, have really lived there.
The selection is open for an enthusiastic traveler who is not afraid to push the boundaries of the world. Here's how to apply and what requirements are necessary to become part of the Italian team at the South Pole.
Where is it and what is the Concordia Station
The Concordia Station, managed by Italy in collaboration with the French, is located on the East Antarctic plateau, a hill at 3230 above sea level called Dome C, about 1000 km from the coast.
Constructed from 1998 to 2004, the Concordia has been operational since 2005 without interruption, regardless of prohibitive weather conditions that have seen temperatures drop to 80 degrees Celsius below zero. Inside, it has also housed 34 researchers and technicians.
The hard core of the inhabitants of this far-flung outpost is a group of 16 people, living in isolation for nine long months until the next expedition arrives.
Guess which of the two groups, the extended and the restricted, is the selection for? Exactly, so let's say that the first requirement is not to suffer too much loneliness.
What is the selection for the Concordia and what are the requirements
For the French-Italian Station is therefore looking for a doctor who will be part of the 18th winter campaign, from November 2021 for a whole year.
Among the requirements, to be part of the staff already employed by Public Health Facilities and have previous experience of emergency intervention in the area. That's all, plus prior clearance from the agency for which you currently serve.
It doesn't seem to be stringent requirements, although "previous experience in the area" is actually worded a bit vaguely. How to apply. Just respond to this notice of interest, for what the public notice defines as a unique and unforgettable experience, during which, perhaps, you will also find yourself investigating the mysteriously disappeared lake, right in the southernmost continent, or the lakes discovered by NASA.

People just like you and I are spending more of their time online, interacting with people through social media or simply engaging with the latest online casino trends and games. There are so many options these days that it can sometimes be considered hard to keep up with the latest trend and technology. The casino game world is in a state of constant evolution, but that is what keeps ordinary individuals coming back and enjoying their free time when they have it. The fun games, massive progressive jackpots, and the number of video slots that are highly entertaining and almost always available each day continue pulling people back day after day.
People enjoy playing online casino games due to how convenient they are. You can enjoy them from the comfort of your own home, you can win big prizes, and you get to try some of the very best slot and card games available to the World.
Violet Casino is one such online casino game website offering truly high-end, entertaining online games for the masses. Owned by Functional Games SA, Violent Casino has long thrived in the world of casino games due to their simple nature of ensuring their returning players and paying customers are enjoying their time thoroughly. Every single player is greeted by the website and offered a pleasant gaming experience, albeit a responsible one.
Remaining the ever-vigilant professional, Violet Casino clearly states that all users should read their Terms and Conditions before entering into the many, many casino games available to enjoy. Said Terms and Conditions clearly state what everything is for, where the costs go, and how the company is working tirelessly to offer a safe, enjoyable experience for every player simply seeking the chance to earn themselves a bit of entertainment after a long day at work.
Upon visiting the official website for Violet Casino, prospective players are greeted with a brilliant color of violet and numerous menus leading to the various casino and bingo games available entirely online through their web portal. Numerous promotions, including free spins and monetary bonuses for signing up and playing the game, are awaiting a simple click from the user via the rotating header image at the very top.
Registration to enter the casino officially is quite simple. The form requires only your user name, password, an e-mail address, and a bonus code if you happen to have one to use.
We mentioned the bonuses and free spins currently available on the website and how they are clearly being advertised to bring in customers. Well, those bonuses and free spins are quite thorough and make the game far more enjoyable. Each bonus and free spin is generally included within some of the most popular games.
For example, you can receive up to 200 euros as a bonus plus 200 free spins after you register for the website. Those particular bonuses are for a game known as Starburst, which is quite similar to mobile matching games. Most people will find they are quite good at such titles and can earn some money using the free spins and bonus cash offered upon first playing.
Violet Casino, along with offering such incredible free spin options, also promises to match your first deposit of 200 euros by giving you 200 euros as a bonus for their games. You can also receive 40 free spins for each 10 euros you deposit into the game, up to 50 euros. As for Starburst, players can receive an extra 200 free spins by simply depositing 50 euros or more into the game. Those seeking online casino games like this will no doubt be interested in investing a bit of money into the experience, which makes bonuses like this far more enticing to the average player who is looking to get the most of their Money.
Like most mobile casino games these days, Violet Casino can be accessed from your smartphone or mobile tablet, allowing you to take the entire experience on the road. Most games were built for a browser or mobile experience, which makes them quite easy to enjoy from the confines of a small touch-screen. The interface is pretty basic, allowing even the most technologically challenged the opportunity to have a bit of fun in their off hours. Most games featured on the website would benefit from being played on a computer monitor, however, so take that into account before enjoying any title. The large screen of a single computer monitor allows you to enjoy the games with far more detail and the ease-of-use of a computer mouse. Most will enjoy their time using either one, however.
Like many currently operating online casino games, Violet Casino offers a system for deposits. When you, the player, deposit a certain amount into your account on the website, you may then use that same amount to gamble and play the casino games for your chance to win a big jackpot. There are winners being listed constantly on the website, with each one playing a different game. Every single one of these players was required to deposit a certain amount before enjoying themselves online.
When it comes to withdrawals, Violet Casino makes things easy by allowing you to withdraw your winnings after they have been inserted into your account. Most deposits and withdrawals are completed by the next business day, so don't be impatient when it comes to receiving your jackpot money. A lot of players have already received their winnings after spending big and playing the games in the most efficient manner possible. Violet Casino has earned themselves a reputation for playing the game correctly and awarding those who earned their bonuses and winnings.
The support and customer service featured at Violet Casino is quite simple, but that is because they have built such an incredible system for the players to use on a daily basis. Most support inquiries will simply go through their listed email contact, which will be responded to within a few business days.
When dealing with the customer support representatives, they have come across as completely professional and willing to work with players. Most can answer any questions you happen to come across, including inquiries about the specific games and their nature on the website, your withdrawals, your bonuses, and any problems you may have with the site in terms of technical problems.
The overall experience of using Violet Casino is one that ultimately comes out completely positive. Most people find themselves enjoying the chance to win large, ever-changing jackpots playing some of their most favored games. These are the types of games most play on their mobile phones pretty regularly, so it makes sense to translate them over to casino games in a way that works well. The jackpots change constantly, but most will find themselves winning somewhere between the tens and the hundreds in terms of monetary rewards for their time. Some win big, of course, and take some a few thousand. Those cases can sometimes be considered rare, though, so don't hold your breath. Keep on playing for a chance to win big!


We received a call from a patient who wanted to have a broken tooth repaired. The patient had broken her tooth while playing a sports game the previous evening, and wanted to have it repaired quickly. As a top Springboro Cosmetic Dentist, we were able to fit the patient in at the end of the day. She arrived holding her hand over her mouth, because she was embarrassed with the broken tooth. We took her back to see Dr. Halasz, and he let her know that he could repair the tooth with a dental crown. The dental crown would be comfortable and would match her remaining tooth. The patient said, "Let's start the crown". Dr. Halasz took an impression of the broken tooth, then made a temporary crown to put over the broken tooth, so the patient would be comfortable until the permanent would be made. The patient returned a week later and Dr. Halasz applied the permanent dental crown. Within twenty minutes the dental crown was in place and we had a happy patient.
If you have a broken tooth or missing teeth, then a dental crown may be an excellent option for you. Contact Dr. Halasz and his staff today, so we can see how we can bring your smile back. We have been the cosmetic dentist specialist in Springboro for over twenty years. We thrive on providing dental options for our patients. Contact Dr. Halasz dental office today to schedule a consultation for all your dental needs.

New Disaster Giving Report...
New Disaster Giving Report Shows Greater Focus on Risk Management, Complex Humanitarian Emergencies
Free Webinar on Wednesday, November 8 will discuss key findings and demonstrate the State of Disaster Philanthropy dashboard and mapping platform

New York, NY — October 24, 2017. Foundation Center and the Center for Disaster Philanthropy (CDP) announce the fourth edition of their annual research report, Measuring the State of Disaster Philanthropy 2017: Data to Drive Decisions. The new report documents $23 billion in private, public, corporate, and individual disaster-related giving to address major disasters and humanitarian crises that affected millions globally in 2015.
Among its findings, the report shows that large foundations slightly shifted funding to support disaster risk management—primarily around the 2014 Ebola outbreak. Funding for complex humanitarian emergencies increased dramatically in response to the refugee crisis.
Key findings for foundation funding revealed:
Grants awarded by 1,000 of the largest U.S. foundations totaled $158.1 million in 2015, a 30 percent decrease from the amount distributed in 2014.
Although overall funding dollars decreased, more grants were distributed in 2015 by more funders. In 2015, 202 funders awarded 740 grants compared to 162 funders and 525 grants in 2014.
The Ebola crisis attracted the highest level (20 percent) of support. In the aftermath of the 2014 outbreak, foundations made large investments in disaster risk management.
The 2015 Nepal earthquake received the highest number of grants.
Large U.S. foundations distributed $26.6 million for complex emergencies (17 percent of overall funding), compared with $7.7 million (3 percent) in 2014.
Looking at the data, CDP President and CEO Robert G. Ottenhoff said, "It is encouraging to see the shift toward more strategic disaster funding during this one-year period. We hope this represents a new giving pattern for future years." He added, "As we continue to see the scope and intensity of disasters increase, we hope the data will motivate organizations to work together to build resilient, stronger communities. Philanthropy needs to do more to balance funding for recovery and preparation with support for immediate relief."
With data gathered from nine sources worldwide, including the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development and the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency, this new report analyzes the allocation of funds from a broad range of donors, including foundations, governments, multilateral donors, corporate giving programs, online giving platforms, donor-advised funds, and more.
"In the last few months, we've seen numerous disasters—hurricanes, heavy monsoons, wildfires, and earthquakes—cause devastation in the U.S. and across the globe. And while it's been heartening to see organizations and individuals respond enthusiastically in the immediate aftermath of these events, it's our hope that, armed with this report and the data tools, philanthropists can think more strategically about their disaster-related investments," said Bradford K. Smith, President of Foundation Center.
Ottenhoff and Foundation Center Vice President for Knowledge Services Lawrence T. McGill will discuss key findings of the report on Wednesday, November 8, 2017 at 2:00 pm ET during a free webinar, "Measuring the State of Disaster Philanthropy 2017." They will also demonstrate the data dashboard and mapping platform, available for free at disasterphilanthropy.foundationcenter.org. Donors, foundations, corporations, journalists, NGOs, and government agencies are encouraged to join the discussion on how to use data to drive informed, strategic disaster-related giving worldwide.
This project was made possible by a generous gift from the Irene W. and C.B. Pennington Foundation, with additional funding from the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation.
Established in 1956, Foundation Center is the leading source of information about philanthropy worldwide. Through data, analysis, and training, it connects people who want to change the world to the resources they need to succeed. Foundation Center maintains the most comprehensive database on U.S. and, increasingly, global grantmakers and their grants -- a robust, accessible knowledge bank for the sector. It also operates research, education, and training programs designed to advance knowledge of philanthropy at every level. Thousands of people visit Foundation Center's website each day and are served in its five regional hubs and its network of more than 400 funding information centers located in public libraries, community foundations, and educational institutions nationwide and around the world.

Queensland is one of the most well travelled states in Australia, boasting the stunning beaches of the Eastern Coast with plenty of sunshine and fun rolled in too. It is known as the Sunshine State, and boasts some incredibly diverse opportunities for gap year conservation volunteering projects.
There are three main gateway cities in Queensland, these being Brisbane, Cairns and Townsville.
Brisbane: The state's capital, Brisbane is a great place to join the projects heading to the hinterland areas of the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast.
Cairns: Joining projects in Cairns offers the chance to help out in rainforests on mountain ranges, beach and creek restoration projects and the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area.
Townsville: these projects tend to take in rainforest and beach areas, with dramatic coastlines and glorious beaches.
Fraser Island. This is the world's largest sand island and a place of exceptional beauty. The long white sand beaches go on for as far as the eye can see, flanked by sand covered cliffs. This is a world heritage site, and volunteers have the opportunity to help out in the National Park areas on walking tracks and trails, as well as with promoting the growth of local flora.
Springsure Koala Reserve. Help out with koalas that have been severely impacted by drought, flood and fire. Volunteers on this project help to assess the state of local koala populations and their habitats.
Reintroduction of the Northern Hairy-Nosed Wombat. This is a species that used to be widespread in south west Queensland, but is now one of Australia's most endangered species. Only 110 remain in the Epping Forest National Park! This is an amazing opportunity to help on a project establishing a second population of wombats- this involves constructing a predator proof fence to protect the new wombat from dingoes and foxes.

Ottawa announces $8.3M for beef industry amid China standoff
The federal agriculture minister was at the Calgary Stampede on Wednesday to announce $8.3 million to help support Canada's beef industry.
Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau unveils program at Calgary Stampede
The Canadian Press · Posted: Jul 10, 2019 1:43 PM MT | Last Updated: July 10
Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau announced Wednesday in Calgary that the federal government will spend $8.3 million to support the beef industry. (CBC)
Canada's beef industry is getting $8.3 million in federal funds, the bulk of it aimed at growing its international market reach as a trade standoff with China continues.
The money is going to six different projects, Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau said Wednesday during a visit to the Calgary Stampede.
The biggest recipient is marketing organization Canada Beef, which is getting $5.3 million to grow sales internationally, in part by boosting foreign consumer confidence in Canada's product.
Bibeau said the announcement would have been made regardless of last month's news that China is shutting out exports of all Canadian meat after inspectors detected a restricted feed additive residue in pork. A subsequent investigation found forged veterinary health certificates attached to the batch.
"I want to assure you we are working around the clock to resolve the matter," Bibeau said. "We all want the same thing: to resume trade with China as soon as possible and our ongoing conversations with Chinese officials are encouraging."
CBC Explains
Why China has a beef with Canadian meat exports
Bibeau said her office is having almost daily conversations with Chinese officials.
"We have submitted a plan with short-term, long-term, medium-term measures to reassure our Chinese trading partner and we are hopeful they will re-open the market as soon as possible."
She said it's premature to discuss compensation for affected beef and pork producers.
Michael Young, president of Canada Beef, welcomed the federal dollars.
"It's tremendous news as it comes at a time when the Canadian beef industry really needs the investment to get into the markets we need to get into and to work with the end-user customers that are really looking for our product."
We stand behind our system and it's just a question of working with the Chinese regulators and officials to fully understand what happened. - Michael Young, president of Canada Beef
He said China is Canada's biggest growth market next to Japan for beef. There is also double-digit growth in the southeast Asian market.
Young said he shares Bibeau's optimism that the Chinese ban will be short-lived.
"We stand behind our system and it's just a question of working with the Chinese regulators and officials to fully understand what happened," he said. "We find with these foreign countries, usually it's a two-part thing: they really want to know what happened and what are you going to do about it."
The Canadian Cattlemen's Association is getting $1.7 million from Ottawa to build public trust in their product globally through the Verified Beef Production Plus quality-assurance program.
Executive vice-president Dennis Laycraft said it's a practical investment in building Canadian brand confidence.
"We don't need large amounts of money to do that," he said. "We need to spend it well, and that's what these programs are about."
Laycraft said the beef industry has been hurt less by the Chinese ban than pork producers because it has a more diversified customer base. He said conversations over compensation would likely take place weeks or months from now if the issue isn't resolved — and he's optimistic it will be.
He said he doesn't get the sense that other diplomatic tensions — like the December arrest of a Chinese national, Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou, in Vancouver — are playing into the meat export issue.
"At this stage it is focused on the science," said Laycraft.
"Everyone I've talked to says this feels like it's a technical issue. It has a different feel to it, so I'm going to go with their assessment."

Germans in Queensland - History in Pictures
By JOL Admin | 6 October 2015
From the 1850's onward many German migrants left their ancestral country to settle in the new colony of Queensland. According to the 1901 Commonwealth Census, 38,352 Australians had been born in Germany. Queensland, by far and away, held the majority of those Germany-born Australians with a total figure of 13,163. State Library of Queensland holds a number of photographs documenting these German settlers and their influence on Queensland society. Below is a sample...

Sandra Hass
My husband's ancestry is mainly Prussian, with some German and Polish. The known names are: Hass, Ballin, Pioch, Giegler (paternal), and Roseberger, Eggert, Adam, Althaus, Krieg, Siebenhausen, Mauch. These people settled mainly on the Darling Downs (Oakey/Jondaryan, Toowoomba - Warwick), and the Lockyer Valley - Rosewood Scrub, Haigslea, Marburg, Minden.
I should have added that the Eggert family went to Tenterfield, but two of the daughters married in Brisbane when the family first arrived in Brisbane, and a third sister later also married in Queensland, Southern Downs. The eldest of these three was my husband's great-great- grandmother.

Initially the players will be paired up with Bestcoastpairing app. If we have pairings with players who play with the same group, we will make changes as necessary. We also will take requests on the first round pairings for players. If you have that unsettled dispute over who is the better player, but you never get to play each other, we can make that happen!
Rounds will be 3 hours in length. Players who feel that their opponent is playing slow should ask for a judge after the first hour has passed.
Bracket champions will receive gift certificates and other prizes from our sponsors. Currently that is over $2000 in prizes.
Bracket champions will have the choice of one of the 3 custom gaming aids supplied by some of our sponsors.
Would you like to be a sponsor of the Barnyard Brawl Grand Tournament Series? Send us an email at theredbarnsc@gmail.com We welcome all businesses, large and small. Let us know how you would like to be involved and we will add you to our group. Thanks for you interest.
After the first two round of pairings we will have a ranking of all the players 1-80. We will then create 10, 8 person brackets based on the rankings. 1-8 is bracket One, 9-16 is bracket TWO and so on. Each bracket will then play for the next 3 rounds in the bracket to get a bracket champion!
There are currently four events planned for the year. The second, and third events are open first for those players who played in the first event. Each player will receive points based on their placement in the event. If a player is unable to play in the next event then the spot will be available for the next person on the waiting list to join the brawl! After the first two events, the limited slots are then prioritized based on the points list. The fourth event is a championship event that will be for the bracket champions and other inivited players from other GT events throughout the Warhammer community.


The form, content, and assessment of courses are governed by University Ordinances which are proposed by the Faculty Board or comparable body concerned and then approved by the General Board. Due Notice must be given to all parties about any changes to course delivery or assessment so that no candidate is disadvantaged. Regulations indicate how and when this should be done, usually by a Faculty Board Notice published in the Reporter. Educational and Student Policy can provide further advice about any aspect of the approval process on request.
Late approval for changes to examinations will only be given if it is demonstrated to the Education Committee that no candidate would be disadvantaged and that necessary measures have been taken to ensure that candidates are aware of the changes.
ensure that all changes are made with due consideration to students and that Directors of Studies and students are advised of all changes in good time.
There are three main types of Notice which are differentiated by increasingly significant changes.
The extent to which Faculty Boards may publish Notices regarding course content is outlined in the relevant course's Regulations.
Faculties/departments should send details straight to the Draftsman for publication in the Reporter.
requirements for the submission of assessed work (although Faculty Boards may be required to publish this information in a formal Notice - see above).
F&C Notices should be limited to indicating changes since the previous year and should apply to all forms of assessment.
Faculty Board-approved F&C Notices should be sent to Educational and Student Policy, which will arrange publication in the Reporter.
Michaelmas Term and Christmas Vacation [not later than the] last day of the previous Full Easter Term.
Lent Term and the Easter Vacation [not later than] 13 October prior to the Lent Term.
Easter Term and the Long Vacation [not later than the] last day of the previous Michaelmas Term.
For major changes to Regulations please see our guidance on new courses.
Faculties and departments should also consider the information provided to prospective students in prospectuses and on websites and ensure that, as far as possible, commitments to students who have already applied for a particular course or programme are honoured.
minor (e.g. alterations to a paper title or the length of an assessed essay) and can be approved by the Officers on the Education Committee's behalf. Proposals should be published in Reporter no later than the division of the Easter Term in the year preceding entry to the course.
major (e.g. a Tripos revision of or new Part) which may require a Report to the University and discussion by the Education Committee. Proposals should be submitted as early as possible, preferably by the start of the Lent Term.
Following approval by the Education Committee a Notice will be published in the Reporter.
See also the guidance about illegal combinations of papers, special circumstances and cases of incuria.
structure of the examinations, including at least the form (e.g. written paper, submitted essay) of each element of the examination and its duration.
Other details which the Faculty Board may wish to specify can be included in Supplementary Regulations. These are Regulations which may be laid down by the Faculty Board but do not require further approval by the General Board. Such details may include an outline of the broad areas covered by the course, or further details of examination requirements.
if the paper is optional, how many other options are there?
is the subject matter taught in any other paper?
how many other papers are currently suspended?
is the paper borrowed by other Tripos(es)?
what consideration has been given to finding others to teach the course?
have students been consulted or given the opportunity to comment?
would students reasonably have been expected to have started preparation for the paper?
will the students have made choices in an earlier part of the Tripos in the expectation of taking the paper?
Faculties and departments may have legitimate reasons for the permanent or temporary suspension or withdrawal of Tripos papers. Such requests might be occasioned by staff taking leave or retiring so that teaching cannot be provided. It is understandable that such requests to suspend or withdraw a paper might reasonably be made at short Notice.
In considering requests for the suspension of a paper, the Education Committee's main concern will be that no students will be disadvantaged, and that no student has already been assured of teaching provision which is then removed or inadequately resourced.
In no case should discontinuation or suspension be proposed when students have already started preparing for the examination. If it is absolutely necessary to withdraw or revise a programme that has already attracted applicants, this should be communicated to them via the Cambridge Admissions Office.
Educational and Student Policy Officers will normally approve straightforward suspensions on behalf of the Education Committee. More problematic cases will be referred to the Committee.
Faculties and departments may wish to consider whether a less specific designation of paper titles in Regulations might provide more flexibility in planning their teaching programmes.

Klemen first tied to a climbing rope at the age of twelve. Soon, he found ice climbing as the most joyful art of climbing, and from that moment on he's been crazy about it. In 1997 he did my first big trip to Canada, searching for some hard ice. He climbed Riptide WI7, which was the hardest ice climb done by Slovenian climbers. In 1998 he introduced mixed climbing to Slovenia by opening the route Bone of Contention (M7). From 1999-2003 he competed in the ice climbing World Cup. After some intense seasons of modern mixed and competition climbing Klemen began to focus on longer ice, mixed and alpine routes. He traveled to Canada and Norway many times, putting up new routes in Canadian Rockies, Lofoten Islands and some other nice places beyond the Arctic Circle.
Career Highlights: New routes and repeats in Helmcken Falls, BC, Canada: FA of Wolverine (WI11), FA of Spray On...Top (WI10, M9+ 240 m), Spray On (WI10), Overhead Hazard (M12, 240m). Climbing icebergs in Greenland. Climbing in and out of glaciers in Iceland.
When did you first start climbing /skiing?
Being outside, having fun with friends and pushing myself out of my comfort zone.
Trying something new and pushing myself to give it all in, learning in the process and still having fun.
We do our sport because we like it, for our self. And the truth is that being a climber it's pretty selfish, so kind of hard to be proud of that. But if I manage to inspire others to push themselves a bit further, try a bit harder, that's for sure something I could be proud of. And yes, for sure I'm proud of my kids too!
Impossible. Boldness to commit to big and different ideas.
I don't have this concept of guilt. I just treat myself when I feel like it. It might be wrong or illegal for someone, but I don't feel guilty.
I was thinking hard to come out with a single talent of mine… So, there must be none. But I'm ready to work hard to be good at something I really like.
One thing?! Come on! It's too hard to choose just one. I need to change more than that!
Climbing icebergs was probably the scariest thing I did. At first, I was able to look on climbing icebergs as a matter of finding that fragile balance between a technically and aesthetically pleasing climb and not risking it all. But I soon realized that there is not much to hold on in this theory, so I was forced to bring believing in to a new level, and hold on to that.To make a long story short: Climbing to the top of the iceberg was pretty wild and scary experience. But if I wanted to reach out to my dreams, I needed to take that risk and handled the fear.


2 x 4 Glue, Paper on Mosanite A classic in North America,England and German, the dimpled mug is a large mug, with dimples, and a handle. It is convex, with the mouth larger than the base. The glass is thick and these glasses typically hold .4, .5 for 1 liters of beer. While the dimples make appreciating the appearance of the beer more difficult, the wide mouth releases the aroma just nicely. These mugs are most commonly used for American, English and German lagers. This is a nice, warm study on a favorite subject that many can relate to and it can be extended into a great series of glass types.

It's an adventure in trying whole foods for 8 WEEKS. All the guesswork is removed. You can follow the meal plans and take the shopping lists to the store. All the recipes are right in the planner. At the end of eight weeks, you can re-use the menus, or use the recipes in a more free-form way now that you have shifted to a whole-foods diet.
Following these menu plans, designed for a family of four, costs approx. $100 per week in groceries. Many money-saving and time-saving tips are included in the planner. This will simplify and organize your adventure in whole foods!
I spent all of 2008 developing 12 Steps to Whole Foods, in response to many readers discovering GreenSmoothieGirl.com and asking for a step-by-step plan to learn the lifestyle I was advocating for.
I became preoccupied with wanting others to be able to do what I'd done, but without all the frustrating bumps along the way. I'd made countless recipes that no one in my family liked. I'd bought hundreds of dollars of ingredients that were hard to find and expensive, with limited or one-time uses.
I'd made recipes that took several hours in the kitchen. I'd wasted time chasing down nutritional bunny hills with little or no gain, and I'd read a lot of useless books about food cults. Along the way, I did find many invaluable nuggets of information and good practices that enormously impacted my family's life for the better, and others' as well, when I taught them.
However, in working with thousands of people the past few years, we found that many were trained in how to "diet." I resist the idea that 12 Steps is a diet. The word itself connotes "temporary" and "restrictive." What I am teaching here is a lifestyle that I intend to bless your life and minimize your disease risk, forever. It's about abundance, since the world of plant foods has nearly infinite colors, textures, tastes, and combining potential.
However, there is value to making things simple and easily planned, and as a planner and list-maker myself, I understand the value of living from lists!
Our just-released Menu Planner tool was highly requested, so we've spent well over a year developing it!
It is an effort to help your initial foray into the whole-foods lifestyle be as predictable as possible! Many thanks to Desiree Ward and Tina Huntsman, who assisted in developing the menu plans and shopping lists and counted every penny to give you budget predictions. They found that feeding a family of 4 with these menu plans cost $100/week.
Before now, you may have eaten prepared and processed foods, or fast foods, but you had a routine, you knew where to buy everything, and how to get or make it. Now that you've committed to a change, of course, you have to re-learn those things. Keep in mind when I suggest Costco as a source, and you don't have a Costco membership, there are other places to obtain the same item in your hometown. Having a health food store, a buying club, an Asian market, and a regular grocery store with a good produce section, you'll be just fine. Even if you're missing one or even two of those, you can definitely do this!
If you stay the course, your new habits will become as easy and habitual as your old ones were. Those new habits have the power to nourish you, energize you, and endow you with health, lovely skin and hair, and ideal weight. Your old habits were likely clogging your digestive system, draining your energy, and causing your weight to gradually creep upwards.


The Vermont Health Department is reporting a late-season surge in flu cases.
Health officials say there have been confirmed cases and outbreaks of the flu in long-term care facilities in Addison, Bennington, Caledonia, Lamoille, Rutland, Windsor and Chittenden counties.
Deputy State Epidemiologist Susan Schoenfeld says so far this has been a relatively mild flu season, but that the illness is unpredictable.
The Health Department issued a health advisory on Wednesday for health care providers to give antiviral treatment to long-term care residents who have confirmed or are suspected to have influenza.
Older people, young children, pregnant women, health care workers and anyone with serious chronic illness such as heart disease are particularly vulnerable to serious complications from the flu.


A collaboration waiting to happen, Nickelodeon and King Ice comes together to officially bring Spongebob Squarepants, one of the most iconic cartoon characters, to street-wear jewelry. From his blue eyes, square pants, and goofy but lovable smile, the Spongebob necklace is created in full 3-D and covered in high grade lab diamonds for a vibrant display that captures his look. This is the larger version at 2.5" tall and paired with a 20" 8mm Miami Cuban chain.
Awesome Pendant!!! My daughter love it!

Yes. Customers should apply all updates offered for the software installed on their systems.
I have Microsoft Word 2010 installed. Why am I not being offered the 3114873 update?
The 3114873 update only applies to systems running specific configurations of Microsoft Office 2010. Some configurations will not be offered the update.
I am being offered this update for software that is not specifically indicated as being affected in the Affected Software and Vulnerability Severity Ratings table. Why am I being offered this update?
When updates address vulnerable code that exists in a component that is shared between multiple Microsoft Office products or shared between multiple versions of the same Microsoft Office product, the update is considered to be applicable to all supported products and versions that contain the vulnerable component.
For example, when an update applies to Microsoft Office 2007 products, only Microsoft Office 2007 may be specifically listed in the Affected Software table. However, the update could apply to Microsoft Word 2007, Microsoft Excel 2007, Microsoft Visio 2007, Microsoft Compatibility Pack, Microsoft Excel Viewer, or any other Microsoft Office 2007 product that is not specifically listed in the Affected Software table.
For example, when an update applies to Microsoft Office 2010 products, only Microsoft Office 2010 may be specifically listed in the Affected Software table. However, the update could apply to Microsoft Word 2010, Microsoft Excel 2010, Microsoft Visio 2010, Microsoft Visio Viewer, or any other Microsoft Office 2010 product that is not specifically listed in the Affected Software table.
For example, when an update applies to Microsoft Office 2013 products, only Microsoft Office 2013 may be specifically listed in the Affected Software table. However, the update could apply to Microsoft Word 2013, Microsoft Excel 2013, Microsoft Visio 2013, or any other Microsoft Office 2013 product that is not specifically listed in the Affected Software table.
Multiple Microsoft Office Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities
Multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities exist in Microsoft Office software when the Office software fails to properly handle objects in memory. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerabilities could run arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker could take control of the affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights.
Exploitation of the vulnerabilities requires that a user open a specially crafted file with an affected version of Microsoft Office software. Note that the Preview Pane is not an attack vector for these vulnerabilities. In an email attack scenario an attacker could exploit the vulnerabilities by sending the specially crafted file to the user and convincing the user to open the file. In a web-based attack scenario an attacker could host a website (or leverage a compromised website that accepts or hosts user-provided content) that contains a specially crafted file that is designed to exploit the vulnerabilities. An attacker would have no way to force users to visit the website. Instead, an attacker would have to convince users to click a link, typically by way of an enticement in an email or Instant Messenger message, and then convince them to open the specially crafted file.
The security update addresses the vulnerabilities by correcting how Office handles objects in memory.
The following tables contain links to the standard entry for each vulnerability in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures list:
Microsoft Office Memory Corruption Vulnerability CVE-2016-0021 No No
### Mitigating Factors Microsoft has not identified any [mitigating factors](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/dn848375.aspx) for this vulnerability. ### Workarounds Microsoft has not identified any [workarounds](https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/dn848375.aspx) for these vulnerabilities. Microsoft Office Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability – CVE-2016-0057 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in Microsoft Office software due to an invalidly signed binary. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could use a similarly configured binary to host malicious code. A defender would then not be able to rely on a valid binary signature to differentiate between a known good and a malicious binary. To successfully exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would have to have write access to the target location that contains the invalidly signed binary. The attacker could then overwrite the original file with their own malicious file and wait for an application, or user, to trigger the malicious binary. The security update addresses the vulnerability by providing a validly signed binary. The following tables contain links to the standard entry for each vulnerability in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures list:

UN warned of risk of rising deaths from COVID-19
UN Secretary General António Guterres warned that the delay in vaccine distribution could lead to an increase in deaths due to COVID-19 mutations. His words are quoted by TASS.
"There is a real threat of the virus mutating into more infectious and deadly variants that may be resistant to existing vaccines," Guterres said.
He called for increased production of vaccines worldwide, as well as ensuring their universal availability. The secretary general stressed that drugs are rapidly appearing in high-income countries, while the poorest countries in the world do not get them.
Guterres concluded that if rich countries think they will be safe as long as they vaccinate only their own citizens, they are wrong.
Earlier in January, Guterres accused rich countries of "vaccine nationalism." According to him, in the struggle for the purchase of vaccines, such states ignored the needs of less developed countries. He stressed that the pandemic has exposed deep problems in international cooperation. The UN secretary general also added that the spread of the coronavirus has had a "disproportionate and dire" impact on the least protected social groups.

Follow @FAOemergencies
Each year, the countries of Eastern and Central Africa experience the highest number of natural and human-induced disasters in all of Africa. Droughts, floods, crop and livestock diseases, civil conflicts, volatile food prices, and HIV continue to undermine livelihoods in the region. Many of these crises spill over borders – such as the 2011 drought in the Horn of Africa, which affected more than 13 million people at its peak. Coordinated action and efforts to build resilience are therefore crucial in preventing and responding to these crises.
FAO's Subregional Emergency Office for Eastern and Central Africa (REOA) plays a critical role in helping governments and rural populations to prepare for and respond to crises. Through REOA, FAO seeks to reduce and manage disaster risks in order to improve food and livelihood security in Eastern and Central Africa. REOA focuses much of its work on strengthening national and regional information and early warning systems, supporting cross-border crop and livestock disease surveillance and response, disseminating improved practices for crop and livestock production, and integrating gender and HIV issues into food and nutrition security response actions.
Early action built on early warning
Appropriate action must be based on reliable and timely information. As crises become more complex, the availability of accurate data is increasingly vital to enable decision-makers to identify, plan, prioritize and implement appropriate responses. REOA has led the roll out of the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) tool in the region. Together with CARE International, 11 countries are supported using the IPC to conduct their national analysis of food security and nutrition conditions.
In addition, the Regional Food Security and Nutrition Working Group provides an important platform to work with partners at all levels and from all sectors to carry out response analysis in the aftermath of a disaster. FSNWG builds on lessons learned from the drought and famine of 2011 and members are committed to ensure that in the future, early warning will translate into valuable, early action. On a monthly basis, the latest IPC data are used by the FSNWG to update the regional map of food security and nutrition conditions. In coordination with the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), REOA supports the secretariat of the FSNWG and co-chairs these monthly meetings.
Innovative technologies for collecting and sharing food security data
REOA also provides technical assistance and capacity development to ensure that partners and communities are fully equipped to use ICT (e.g. digital pen technology or mobile data collection tools) to capture high quality data. A knowledge platform has been set up for collecting and disseminating disaster information. The site provides insights and linkages between local, national and regional frameworks and actions.
Building resilience among farming and (agro)pastoral communities
Agriculture – including crop and livestock production – remains the main source of food and income for about 80 percent of the region's population. REOA has been working with development partners in implementing interventions that link relief and long-term development, building drought resilience for improved food and nutrition security. Through targeted initiatives, REOA promotes farmers' knowledge and skills in good farming practices, disease identification, distribution and use of disease free-planting material and seeds. To reduce the vulnerability of agropastoral communities a top-down, bottom-up approach is implemented, linking advocacy to field work.
Tackling gender and HIV issues in agriculture
An estimated 3.5 million people are living with HIV in East and Central Africa. In emergency situations, exposure to sexual exploitation, abuse and gender-based violence greatly increases the risk of exposure to HIV. At the same time, food insecurity and malnutrition can accelerate the development of the virus into full-blown AIDS. REOA is bridging the gap between food security and nutrition responses through integrated interventions that increase awareness on gender issues, reduce the stigma of HIV and promote the adoption of better agricultural techniques and nutrition practices in the most vulnerable communities.
