The fifteenth CEUREG Forum was organized this year in Bratislava. The forum gathered representatives from the regulatory authorities of Central and Eastern European countries, the private sector as well as a representative of the European Commission, European Crop Protection Association and OPERA Research Center. The forum consisted of four sessions where different topics of high interest on the field of agriculture were discussed.
The first session referred to the Regulation 1107/ 2009/ EC that replaced the Directive 91/ 414/ EC. The representative of the Commission presented the first experiences from the application of the Regulation while the reaction of the Member States expressed the difficulties that they face in its implementation. One of the common problems was managing the work load generated by the application of the regulation. Another problem that appears refers to the difficulties on interpreting the regulation. The facts that the existing standards within the Member States are different, as well as the short time for practical experience are two elements that make more difficult the adoption of the regulation.
The second session was about Directive 2009/ 128/ EC Sustainable Use Directive of pesticides. The representatives of the Member States presented the current situation in their country regarding to the difficulties they face on the transposition of the Directive to national legislation and on the drafting of the National Action Plans. Some of the topics that were put on the table by the Member States were related to implementing Integrated Pest Management and specific measures to reduce risk and to monitor progress. Furthermore, the need of harmonized Risk Indicators and their place in the National Action Plans was an issue. There were given some examples regarding the possibility to use a selection of social, environmental and economic Risk Indicators.
The overview of the current situation in the CEUREG Region States as to the Integrated Pest Management and organic farming was discussed at the third session of the forum. There were presented the general provisions of the Sustainable Use Directive; the general principles of Integrated Pest Management and the state of art regarding to the above mentioned practices in relation with the future steps that have to be followed.
Crop specific guidelines on IPM and successfully implemented elements of the Sustainable Use Directive in some Member States as well as some plans to promote IPM were on the table.
The fourth and last session of the forum was focused on an update on the international, regional and relevant country developments since the previous CEUREG forum. Firstly, were presented the outcomes of the 11th International HCH and pesticides forum that took place in Azerbaijan in September of 2011. The OECD pesticides' working group objectives and activities were also a subject in the program.
The debates were focused on the strategic approach in pesticide risk reduction and the possible elements for a vision for the next decade.
A survey that took place during the 15th CEUREG Forum on the definition and regulation of "other products" has provided some relevant information on how different countries manage this issue. Mainly, there were mentioned the regulatory status; the areas of assessment and the plans to change the current status in each country.
Finally, candidate countries to European Union presented their progress report on the harmonization procedure, problems experiences and expectations regarding to the development in pesticides registration in their countries.
The 15th CEUREG Forum closed with drafting the final document where the conclusions of the two day meeting were highlighted and confirmed. The next CEUREG Forum will be organized in Vienna in October of 2012.

Q: Insert a line at specific position if file contains a certain string I would like to insert a string in line 2 of every file that contain a specific string somewhere in the file.
Like
sed '1 a #This is just a commented line' -i
but only if file contains the string:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-7">

A: Assuming that your command,
sed -i '1 a #This is just a commented line'

works for a given file.
To apply this to some file, somefile, if the file contains the string <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-7">, you may use
if grep -q -F '<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-7">' somefile
then
    sed -i '1 a #This is just a commented line' somefile
fi

The -q option to grep causes the utility to stop at the first match, and to not output anything (we're only interested in the exit status).  The -F option will make grep treat the given pattern as a string rather than as a regular expression.
To apply this to all files in the current directory (skipping files that are not regular files or symbolic links to regular files):
pattern='<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-7">'

for name in ./*; do
    [ ! -f "$name" ] && continue
    if grep -q -F -e "$pattern" "$name"; then
        sed -i '1 a #This is just a commented line' "$name"
    fi
done

I'm using -e "$pattern", with the -e option, here. It's a good habit to specify the pattern for grep with -e when the pattern is kept in a variable.  There may be situation where the variable's value starts with a dash (not in this specific problem, obviously), and this would confuse grep if -e is not used, making it think that the pattern is actually some command line option.
To do this for all files in or below the current directory:
pattern='<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-7">'

find . -type f -exec sh -c '
    pattern=$1; shift
    for name do
        if grep -q -F -e "$pattern" "$name"; then
            sed -i "1 a #This is just a commented line" "$name"
        fi
    done' sh "$pattern" {} +

This executes a short inline sh -c script for batches of found files, passing the pattern as the first command line argument to the script and the found pathnames as the remaining arguments.
or, to let find use grep as a test and then execute sed on the files that passes the test,
pattern='<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-7">'

find . -type f \
    -exec grep -q -F -e "$pattern" {} \; \
    -exec sed -i '1 a #This is just a commented line' {} +

By using {} + instead of {} \; at the end of the sed command above, we give sed as many input files as possible at once rather than executing sed once for each file.  This requires GNU sed to work properly, but since you're already using GNU sed syntax in your a command, I'm assuming that is ok.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., April 23, 2013 – They're easily spotted — poking tiny black noses out of bags, resting snuggly in arms and bouncing enthusiastically to greet friends. They're small breed dogs, and while they might resemble miniature versions of larger canines, they have unique needs. To bring understanding into their finicky tastes and distinct nutrition requirements, The NUTRO™ Company, a leading manufacturer of natural pet food products with specific formulas for small breed dogs, is providing pet owners with insights into the big world of small dogs.
Finicky eaters — Research shows that small breed dogs are more likely to refuse a meal and are more inconsistent with the amount of food they consume daily.
Miniature mouths —Because of their smaller mouths, the teeth of small breed dogs' are more prone to overcrowding, which can lead to oral health concerns. Tartar is present in 53 percent and periodontal disease in 18 percent of small breeds 9 to 15 years old.
Endless energy —Despite their size, small breed dogs have high energy levels, which mean a higher metabolism.
Senior status —Since many small dogs live up to 20 years, they need increased antioxidant and nutrient support for their immune systems to avoid damage caused by aging.
Avoid giving small breed dogs table scraps to please their palates. Since they are already picky eaters, this will only make it harder for you to get them to eat the nutritious food they need.
Choose a dog food that has high-quality ingredients, with poultry or meat as the first ingredient, to enhance the dry taste of kibble, such as NUTRO™ Small Breed Dog Food with a chicken & whole brown rice formula.
Make sure you are feeding small breed dogs food that is correctly formulated for their age, like NUTRO™ Small Breed Adult Dog Food.
To meet small breed dogs' high energy needs, make sure they are getting the right amount of proteins and fats that will support their fast metabolism.
To further illustrate the world of the small breed dog, The NUTRO™ Company has launched a new infographic, The Big World of Small Dogs and Their Owners. The infographic tells a heart-warming and descriptive story about what makes these tiny creatures and their loving owners tick.
Real chicken is the No. 1 ingredient, as well as other wholesome natural ingredients such as whole brown rice and sunflower oil, to please even the most selective palates, guaranteed.
NUTRO™ Small Breed Dog Food with the DNADVANTAGE BLEND™ Formula features a unique blend of antioxidants that nutritionally rejuvenates your dog's immune system.
NUTRO™ Small Breed Adult Products are precisely formulated with targeted levels of protein and fat to match their energy needs.
NUTRO™ Small Breed Dog Food kibble is designed to naturally help reduce plaque and tartar.

NASA SpaceX launch: 4 astronauts launched into space
Image Source: SpaceX/Twitter
In a landmark event in commercial space exploration, a SpaceX rocket launched four astronauts – three from the United States of America and one from Japan – into space from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida recently.
The Falcon rocket and Dragon capsule provided by SpaceX, founded by maverick entrepreneur Elon Musk, was launched in this mission called Crew-1, which is the first of six crewed missions of NASA in collaboration with Space X.
The primary objective of these missions is to make space easily accessible in terms of cost so that crew and cargo can be transported easily and effectively, facilitating more scientific research.
"This partnership is changing the arc of human spaceflight history by opening access to low-Earth orbit and the International Space Station to more people, more science, and more commercial opportunities," NASA said of such missions.
Crew-1 was due to be launched on 14th November but was postponed due to poor weather conditions.
The four astronauts are Americans Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover, and Shannon Walker, and Soichi Noguchi from the Japanese space agency. They will stay on the International Space Station (ISS) for a period of six months and will join two Russians – Sergey Ryzhikov and Sergey Kud-Sverchkov – and one American astronaut – Kate Rubins – on board. While Hopkins is the commander of the spacecraft, Glover is the pilot and Walker and Noguchi are mission specialists.
"The big milestone here is that we are now moving away from development and test and into operational flights. And in fact this operational flight was licensed by the Federal Aviation Administration. So this is a truly a commercial launch," said Nasa Administrator Jim Bridenstine.
SpaceX has signed contracts to the tune of $3 billion with NASA to develop commercial astronaut taxi service. NASA also has a similar collaboration with the Boeing aerospace company.
This mission is sure to usher a new era in space travel. Do you agree? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

Classic Fans Get the Joys of Coys
Classic Fans Get the Joys of Coys }
Christmas could come early for classic car and motorbike fans this week - with an auction house offering the chance to snap up the perfect present in London.
As many as 70 classic motorcycles and cars worth an estimated £14 million-plus are going under the hammer today (December 2) during Coys' auction of True Greats at Lindley Hall.
The auction will also see £200,000 worth of stunning motoring and film-themed posters at the Royal Horticultural Society venue.
Organisers say that enthusiasts could pick up a Christmas present and sound investment all in one - as classic vehicles covered by classic car insurance currently outperform several sectors of the speculation game.
Chris Routledge, managing partner at Coys, says it is so much more rewarding to look at a motor-based investment than just blank figures on a computer screen or paper balance sheet.
What can I bid for?
- Well, those with between £1.1 million and £1.3 million to spare can contemplate a jaw-dropping Porsche 904/6. This Works Prototype Carrera GTP (1964) is sure to turn heads.
- Deep wallets will again be required to take an iconic 300 SL Gullwing from Mercedes-Benz (1955). Between £950,000 and £1.1 million is the asking price for this coveted sports coupe, which comes with the original engine.
- Or what about a 275 GTB/2 6 C Berlinetta from Ferrari (1964)? Another member of the £1million club; it is expected to go for between £1 million and £1.4 million.
- A Giulia Sprint Speciale 1600 from Alfa Romeo (1964) is more brilliantly red than Santa's nose. These sort of rare cars are rapidly appreciating in value. Experts believe it will take between £80,000 and £110,000 to secure this beauty.
- Indian 1300 Four Model 402 (1931): This rarest of exotic four-cylinder models is dubbed "highly collectable" - and perhaps a little more affordable.
And the poster auction?
Among the highlights are:
- Le Mans film (1971) posters (with estimated values spanning between £300 and £1,600) featuring Steve McQueen. The iconic motor racing movie starred a number of iconic cars, including the stunning 1.375 million dollars (£876,000) Porsche 911S made a year earlier. This poster has got to be cheaper than owning the car itself…
- A Dr No (1962) UK Quad (between £8,000 and £10,000). This one is bound to attract interest as this Sean Connery classic was the first Bond movie.
- An original French Grande from King Kong (1933, estimated at between £20,000 and £25,000).
- A Casablanca card poster (1942, going up for between £7,000 and £10,000).
Full address: Lindley Hall, Vincent Square, Westminster SW1P 2PE.
The nearest tubes stations are Westminster, Victoria, St James's Park and Pimlico. The auction of posters begins at 3pm. The motorbike and car auction runs between 7pm and 11.30pm.

El pas del Mont Cenis o coll del Mont Cenis (en francès col du Mont-Cenis) (en italià, colle del Moncenisio) és un port de muntanya dels Alps, situat a 2.083 msnm al cantó de Cantó de Lanslebourg-Mont-Cenis, al departament de la Savoia, regió d'Alvèrnia-Roine-Alps, a França.

Forma el límit geogràfic entre els Alps Cottis i els Alps de Graies, pertanyent al massís del Mont Cenis. Se situa al capdamunt de la vall francesa de la Mauriena i de la vall italiana  Cenischia (ramal de la vall de Susa). Comunica Lens-le-Bôrg a França (al nord-oest) amb Susa a Italia (al sud-est). Va servir de frontera administrativa entre els dos estats fins que des del 1947, pel Tractat de París, se situa íntegrament a França. Així, tornant als seus límits històrics anteriors a l'annexió de Savoia per França.

Etimologia
Sembla que el terme Moncenisio deriva de "Monte de le ceneri" (en italià: muntanya de les cendres). Segons la tradició, després d'un incendi forestal, una gran quantitat de cendra s'acumulà a terra, i d'aquí el nom. Durant la construcció de la carretera del coll, es va trobar rastres de cendres.

Geografia
El pas del Mont Cenis, és un pas de muntanya dels Alps occidentals, de 2.083 msnm d'altura. Està situat al massís del Mont Cenis, serralada dels Alps Cottis, i forma el límit geogràfic entre aquests i els Alps de Graies. El primer cim dels Alps Cottis (al sud-est del coll) és la Punta Clairy de 3.161 msnm (també coneguda com a Signal du Petit Mont-Cenis). El primer cim dels Alps de Graies (al nord-est del coll) és la Pointe de Ronce de 3.612 msnm.

Se situa a la divisòria d'aigües entre la vall de la Mauriena i la vall Cenischia (que és una ramal de la vall de Susa). Per la primera hi discorre el riu Arc, afluent del riu Isèra, de la conca del Roine. Per la segona hi flueix el torrent Cenischia, afluent del Dora Riparia, de la conca del Po.

Comunica Lanslebourg-Mont-Cenis a França (al nord-oest) amb Susa a Itàlia (al sud-est). Hi discorre la carretera D-1006 (antiga carretera nacional RN-6) de França, que un cop passada la frontera, i ja dins del territori italià, es converteix en la carretera SS-25 del Moncenisio d'Itàlia. El coll resta tancat a l'hivern (desembre a maig) degut al fort pendent (mig:6,8% / Màx:10,7%), malgrat la seva relativa baixa altura. Durant el període de tancament hivernal, la carretera D-1006, que descendeix el coll pel vessant francès, un cop coberta de neu, esdevé una pista d'esquí anomenada "Escargot" (en francès: cargol).

El pas del Mont Cenis, va servir de frontera administrativa entre França i Itàlia des de 1860, any de l'annexió de Savoia a França pel tractat de Torí. En acabar la Segona Guerra Mundial, i en virtut dels acords del Tractat de París, el coll se situa íntegrament a França, ja que la línia fronterera es va desplaçar cap al vessant italià. Així, tornant als seus límits històrics anteriors a l'annexió de Savoia per França. La frontera se separa de la conca principal a la Punta Marmottere (3.384 msnm) i gira sobtadament cap al sud-oest, fins al torrent Cenischia, per tornar a trobar la divisòria d'aigües de la conca a l'altra banda de la vall, prop de la Punta Tricuspide

Just per sota del coll, a 1.974 msnm, a la vessant que mira a Itàlia, però encara en territori francès, hi fou construïda una presa. El dic és de 120 metres d'altura i té una capacitat de 315 hectòmetres cúbics. Serveix per a la producció d'electricitat, que es reparteix entre Itàlia i França a les centrals hidroelèctriques de Venaus (Itàlia) i de Villarodin (França). La presa forma el llac del Mont Cenis, cos d'aigua que ja existia en el passat, encara que de menor grandària. A la seva riba s'hi situava l'Hospici del Mont Cenis, destruït amb la construcció de la presa. Durant els períodes de buidatge del llac es poden veure les restes de l'anterior construcció de dues preses que han estat submergides per les aigües del gran llac sorgit amb la construcció de l'última presa. La mateixa carretera va haver de ser desplaçada, fent que el punt més alt de la mateixa passi per la cota 2.094, al proper plan des Fontainettes, a la proximitat de la piràmide que serveix de capella i del Jardí botànic del Mont Cenis.

L'anomenat túnel del Mont Cenis, situat a 1.295 msnm, queda realment a 27,4 km a l'oest del pas, per sota del Col du Fréjus. El seu nom oficial és túnel ferroviari del Fréjus, tot i que també és conegut per la denominació de túnel del Mont Cenis.

Al sud-oest del pas del Mont Cenis hi ha el coll del Petit Mont Cenis (2.184 m) que porta des de l'altiplà al cim (a Itàlia) del pas principal a la vall d'Etache sobre la vessant francesa fins a Bramans a la vall d'Arc. A prop seu hi ha el refugi del Petit Mont Cenis.

Història
[[fitxer : Joseph Mallord William Turner 081.jpg |miniatura|Tempesta de neu (Turner): Anníbal i el seu exèrcit travessant els Alps]]

El pas del Mont Cenis té una gran importància històrica. Es creia que Anníbal Barca va creuar els Alps de França a Itàlia pel coll del Petit Mont Cenis i el coll Clapier, que es troben a l'oest del pas del Mont Cenis. Una recent reconstrucció situa el pas d'Aníbal al coll de l'Autaret, que connecta Averole (alta Mauriena) i Malciaussia (Vall de Lanzo).

L'emperador Constantí I el Gran va passar pel pas del Mont Cenis cap a Itàlia, per lluitar contra Maxenci.

També va ser utilitzat com el pas principal pel qual Carlemany va creuar amb el seu exèrcit per envair Llombardia el 773.

Formava part del Camí espanyol, sent reformat pels enginyers de Felip II. Des de llavors va ser la principal ruta per creuar els Alps entre França i Itàlia fins al .

Fou el lloc d'una victòria militar de l'Armée des Alpes (en francès: ''Exèrcit dels Alps''), liderada pel general en cap Thomas Alexandre Davy de la Pailleterie, conegut com el général Dumas (pare de l'escriptor Alexandre Dumas (pare) i avi del també escriptor Alexandre Dumas (fill)), sobre les forces del Regne de Sardenya-Piemont a l'abril de 1794, una victòria que va permetre a l'exèrcit francès d'Itàlia envair i conquerir la península italiana.

Entre 1803 i 1810, per ordre de Napoleó Bonaparte, es va construir una carretera pel port, així com es va fer l'engrandiment de l'antic Hospici del Mont Cenis que datava del segle IX. Aquest hospici fou destruït amb motiu de la construcció de l'última presa. El 12 de juny de 1812, el doctor Balthazard Claraz va salvar la vida del papa Pius VII a l'hospici del Mont Cenis, durant el seu viatge secret de Savona à Fontainebleau.

El 1868, al llarg de la carretera, es va construir el ferrocarril del Mont Cenis, tren cremallera de tipus «Fell», operat per una compañia anglesa, però que va ser desmantellat el 1871 amb l'obertura del túnel del Mont Cenis.

El túnel ferroviari del Mont Cenis, iniciat el 1857, fou conclòs i inaugurat el 1871.The Mont Cenis Railway a Trove Digitised newspapers and more - National Library of Australia

Un vast complex defensiu italià fou erigit entre 1877 i 1908: el Campo trincerato del Moncenisio El fort Varisello'' comanda el complex. A la banda francesa també hi ha diverses fortificacions. La zona fou escenari de combats durant la Segona Guerra Mundial.

Ciclisme
El pas del Mont Cenis ha estat franquejat en 5 ocasions pel Tour de França. Des de 1999 està classificat com ''hors-catégorie''. Els següents corredors l'han passat al cap de la cursa:

 1949: Pierre Tacca
 1956: Federico Bahamontes
 1961: Manuel Busto
 1992: Claudio Chiappucci
 1999: Dmitri Kónixev

A més, hi ha passat el Giro d'Itàlia de 2013 en dues ocasions. A la 15a etapa, el primer corredor a passar sota la pancarta indicant el Gran premi de la muntanya de primera categoria fou el colombià Miguel Ángel Rubiano, i fou travessat de nou a la 16a etapa del mateix any.

Overwatch fan creates real working version of Winston's Tesla Cannon
Published: 30/Jan/2020 14:25
An Overwatch fan has created functional real-life versions of Winston's Tesla Cannon and Reinhardt's rocket-powered hammer.
It's not uncommon for cosplayers to create incredibly detailed replicas of the weapons wielded by various video game characters, but Reddit user blbird has taken things one step further by producing a Tesla Cannon and Rocket Hammer that not only look the part, but even function in a similar manner to their in-game counterparts.
Their demonstration of the 'Tesla Cannon' shows the weapon firing streaks of lightning at its target, just as Winston's weapon does in-game. Electricity can be seen arcing from the weapon to a piece of paper with a picture of Doomfist on it, which eventually catches on fire.
According to the title, the weapon uses 1.3 million volts of electricity to produce the effect.
My Second Work is Winston's Tesla Cannon with 1.3 million volts from r/Overwatch
Those who are curious about how this replica weapon came into existence can see behind-the-scenes in a video showing how it was created.
Blbird didn't stop there, however, also working on a real version of the rocket-powered hammer wielded by Reinhardt.
The hammer can be activated to initiate the twin boosters on the back of it, which in the game provide the additional thrust that allows the crusader to perform his Earthshatter ultimate ability. While it seems unlikely that the 'boosters' in the real-life version add much power to the weapon, they certainly look the part.

Unlike the Tesla Cannon, which obviously relies on a power connection in order to function, the hammer can be wielded completely independently.

According to blbird, the creator has also already built a version of Doomfist's iconic gauntlet, and plans to make Genji's sword and Mercy's staff, so it seems fans of these real-world realizations of Overwatch weapons will have more to look forward to.

Celebrating Scandinavian heritage by promoting and preserving traditional family, cultural, and community values for the benefit of all future generations
The mission of the HHF is guided by its founding purpose which reads "the Corporation (HHF) is organized primarily to promote the Scandinavian culture and heritage and further relationships with the countries of Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Iceland through grantmaking and other activities."
In 2014, the HHF Board of Directors recommitted the organization to that purpose in a five-part action based mission statement calling on the HHF:
To serve as a catalyst constantly focused on the question, vision and best practices for "how are we preserving the Scandinavian heritage in North America?"
To provide coordination and help for others to celebrate the Nordic heritage by promoting and preserving traditional family, cultural, and community values for the benefit of all generations
To help recruit and inspire new leadership
To develop and cultivate a strong philanthropic culture anchored by a comprehensive fund development program providing the best opportunities for the many friends and donors to financially support the Norsk Høstfest and Scandinavian Heritage associations' missions and related Scandinavian heritage preservation, both current and future
To be the very best steward of charitable gifts and finances committed to the preservation of our Scandinavian heritage today and tomorrow

New logo design of "White Eyes" …This female alpha wolf is the face behind forming Wolves of Douglas County Wisconsin. In the year 2000 I was assigned a tracking block in Douglas county and that's where I first caught sight of her crossing the road one summer evening. White Eyes stopped in the ditch and looked straight at me. Her green eyes were surrounded by white fur. She was young, new to this area and tenacious! Always ready to defend her family from intruding packs of bear hound dogs. She was a protective alpha! Nine generations of pups was her legacy! Sadly she was hit and killed by a vehicle in 2009. I spent 11 years tracking and learning all about her pack. Then in 2011 the unthinkable happened! The Wisconsin state legislature mandated a wolf hunt, and right before they were about to be delisted. I couldn't believe that we spent all those years in Wisconsin on wolf recovery just so a group of fringe of hunters could run their dogs on wolves. But it did happen and Wisconsin became the very first & only state to use dogs to hunt wolves. Thankfully wolves were returned to the ESL in 2014 after three years of wolf hunts. But now Wisconsin's Gray wolf could face the same fate as they are about to be delisted again! Here's what you can do: make your comment to the USF&WS.
Your new logo looks great!


Choosing a major can be overwhelming. But it's important to think of the bigger picture; your major doesn't necessarily tie you into one specific career. There are always multiple avenues to pursue, so rather just make sure that the major you choose is something you will enjoy spending time learning about for the next few years. Your college major is essentially your specialized field of study. Above and beyond your standard college requirements, your major can be anything from agriculture to architecture, economics to ecology, biology to business, and everything in between. But before you're too overwhelmed by the options, we've put together some helpful tips to help guide you in making the best decision for you.
Do you have a natural flair for numbers and math? Do you excel in creative subjects? Are you great at getting your thoughts down on paper? When choosing your major it's important to first have a clear understanding of where your strengths lie (as well as your weaknesses). Take a look back at your academic records and it should be easy enough to figure out where your natural abilities are at their best. It doesn't make much sense to start a degree in accounting if you're struggling to pass your math exams, does it? But all too often, students get fixated on embarking on a career that they view as a 'good option' and choose a major that simply isn't right for them. Of course, you can develop skills, but if you truly want to excel in your studies and your career, it definitely makes sense to capitalize off your strong points and develop these, instead of embarking on an uphill battle. All too often students are pressurized by their parents or other external influences that say that they must become a lawyer, doctor or accountant, to be successful. This often leads to them choosing a major or degree to fit these expectations, and then feel like a failure when down the line they are struggling to keep their grades up. You're far more likely to experience success (and happiness) if you choose a major that suits your individual skillset.
Your personality traits may have more of an impact on your future career than you think. Do you like living the high life and is a certain level of the luxury top on your list of priorities? Or is your happiness far more important to you than a high salary? Are you an introvert who prefers working alone to being in a crowded workspace, or an extrovert who loves working with people? Are you compassionate with a strong yearning to help others? Do you love to travel and explore new cultures? Knowing yourself and understanding you who you are as a person is an important first step in deciding on your major. Make sure you take the time to truly reflect on your own personality and use these insights to help guide your decision.
If you love philosophy or history, don't be too hasty to write these off as a major due to the lack of career opportunities in these fields. Although there may not be many job openings for 'philosophers', the cognitive and reasoning skills you'll learn are often highly respected by employers and could open up exciting opportunities down the line. If you choose to study English, you could find yourself with a career in anything from advertising, journalism, publishing or even teaching English in a foreign country. If you're good at math, you don't have to simply major in it. You can choose from an array of math-focused options to suit you, such as architecture, biology, computer science, engineering or economics. So, when it comes to choosing your major, remember to keep an open mind!
When choosing your major, one of the key things to consider is what you're truly passionate about. If you're going to major in something, you might as well make sure that you're interested in the subject. This will not only mean that you're more likely to stay focused, but you'll also be happier in the long term. Rather than focusing on your future career or earning potential, it's best to first ask yourself, what are my passions, interests, and values? These important questions are all too often overlooked by students. It is important to remember that in reality, the major you choose doesn't necessarily determine your future career. So, the best way to ensure happiness and success is to do something that you truly care about, starting with choosing your major.
When considering your options, remember to bear in mind that your interests are likely to change over the years. On top of this, the world is constantly changing too. This means that by the time you actually graduate, some of the jobs you had in mind may already be obsolete, and new opportunities you had never even imagined may be available to you. This is why focusing on a passion, instead of a job, is always a good idea.
When choosing your major, it's important to consider the future job opportunities that will be available to you. But that being said, there's no need to obsess over it. Choosing a major is less about prepping for your first job and more about choosing your life path. If, however, you're in the lucky position that your passion and career plans are aligned, then make sure that you choose the major that means the fastest path to your dream job SchoolApply advisors are always ready to help you decide which major will go hand in hand with your passion.

The spread of terrorism shows the deadend of capitalism
Submitted by ICConline on 29 May, 2019 - 18:47
Those born in 2001, the year of the 9/11 attacks will be 18 in 2019. What have they grown up with? What have they been exposed to on the news? What sort of world have they been living in?
Following 9/11 there was Bush's "global war on terrorism". In reality, it was just "war" where, in invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq (and in other campaigns as well) US imperialism attempted (and failed) to assert its position as the only surviving super power.

Terrorism: driving workers into the arms of the state
Submitted by ICConline on 16 June, 2017 - 18:47
According to today's pseudo-revolutionaries on the left, behind the religious slogans of al-Qaida or Isis terrorists, we are witnessing the same old struggle against national oppression that the Fenians were engaged in, and today's marxists should therefore offer support for such movements, even if they distance themselves from their religious ideology and from their terrorist methods.
But the murderous means used by groups like Isis and their sympathisers are entirely consistent with their aims – which is not to overturn oppression but to substitute one form of oppression for another, and to 'win' at any cost in the gruesome battle between the one set of imperialist powers and another set (such as Saudi Arabia or Qatar, for example) which backs them up. And their 'ultimate' ideal – the global Caliphate – even if it is as unrealisable as Hitler's Thousand-Year Reich, is no less an imperialist venture, demanding well-tried imperialist measures of slaughter and conquest.

Terrorism: a force for imperialist war and against the class struggle

It may be that the recent terrorist attacks in France and Belgium are an expression of the difficulties facing "Islamic State" in the ground war in Iraq and Syria, but sudden murderous attacks on the population of the central countries of capitalism are fast becoming a fact of life, just as they have been for many years in Syria, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkey, Libya, Nigeria, Somalia, Sudan and numerous other countries caught up in today's expanding war zone.

Massacre in Paris: terrorism is an expression of rotting bourgeois society
Submitted by ICConline on 14 January, 2015 - 23:31
Cabu, Charb, Tignous, Wolinski, among the twenty killed in the attacks in Paris on 7 and 9 January, these four were a kind of symbol. They were the priority targets. And why? Because they stood for intelligence against stupidity, reason against fanaticism, revolt against submission, courage against cowardice, sympathy against hatred, and for that specifically human quality: humour and laughter against conformism and dull self-righteousness.

Terrorists and government both obscure class interests

At first the 7th July bombings in London were attributed to the anonymous, unknown forces of al-Qaida. There was shock when it was revealed that the bombers were brought up in Britain. People wondered how someone could let off a bomb that would inevitably kill people who had been through the same education system, used the same health service, seen the same TV programmes or even been of the same religious faith.

Terrorism is an instrument of imperialist war
Since the end of the 1980s, terrorism has regularly been at the forefront of the international situation; and for the bourgeoisie of the big powers it has become 'Public Enemy No.1'. In the name of the fight against the barbarity of terrorism, the two main powers which were at the head of the Western and Eastern blocs, the United States and Russia, have unleashed war in Afghanistan, Iraq and Chechnya.

Opposition to the London Bombings: Voices are raised against capitalism's descent into barbarism
Submitted by World Revolution on 29 July, 2005 - 01:48
In the midst of all the statements on the bombings in London, most of which are only notable for their varying levels of hypocrisy, we have become aware of two statements, both from the libertarian and anarchist milieu, that attempt to defend a class position. One is from the libcom.org website, the other from the Zabalaza Anarchist Communist Federation (ZACF) of South Africa.

Never exactly popular in the British media, the IRA and Sinn Féin have complained of a "sustained campaign" being waged against them. The IRA was blamed for the £26.5m Northern Bank raid.

Recent terrorist attacks in New York & Washington
Submitted by Internationalism USA on 31 December, 2004 - 00:03
1. By now everyone throughout the world is well aware of the tragic events that have taken thousands of lives and caused tremendous destruction to the City of New York, the so-called 'capital of the world," and the Pentagon, headquarters of the American military in Washington and symbol of the might of US capitalism. The senseless death of thousands of people (many of them workers), the material destruction, the total disregard for human life, the madness of the people who executed these acts, since they died themselves -- are all expressions of the dead-end of a social system which is each day sinking humanity more and more into a bottomless spiral of barbarism, as it sinks further into decomposition. Never before has the US population experienced a man-made catastrophe of this magnitude on its own territory; war and destruction have always been the fate of "others" --especially in the cases when American imperialism has been the power behind the devastation and obliteration of countries and their populations. Thus, in the wake of these events, there is among the American working class and the population at large a veritable feeling of terror, impotence and desperation, compounded with a feeling of solidarity for the direct victims of these barbaric events. However, what is more and more dominant in the social ambiance today is the cynical manipulation by the dominant class of the situation created by this tragedy to stir up hatred and patriotism, to incite the most base nationalistic feelings in order to unite people behind the State, and thus make the population accept the militarization of society and the sacrifices required by the American imperialist adventures around the world.

How Britain invented terror bombing in 1920s Iraq
Submitted by World Revolution on 30 December, 2004 - 18:34
On 28 August last year, as America tried to build international support for its impending war against Iraq, US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld compared President Bush's international isolation over plans to attack Iraq with the lonely stand taken by Winston Churchill before the Second World War. In the face of appeasers and doubters at home and abroad, he told 3,000 assembled US marines, Winston Churchill realised what a threat Hitler posed to Europe. Similarly, he added, President Bush knew that "leadership in the right direction finds followers and supporters."

How Australian imperialism benefits from the Bali massacre
When horrific terrorist outrages occur, it's useful to ask who benefits from them. The answer usually sheds light on who could be responsible for these deeds. The Bali bombing on 12 October is no exception to this rule. The accused Indonesian Islamists certainly do not benefit from the Bali bombing. Abu Bakar Bashir, spiritual leader of one of the country's principal Islamist organisation, has been arrested and faces a possible death penalty for alleged complicity. New 'anti-terrorist' laws have been announced in Indonesia, after these were demanded by Australia in the wake of the bombing. Some 400 Australian Federal Police and some FBI agents have rushed to Bali and are working in 'partnership' with Indonesian police investigating the bombing. Australia has also donated A$10 million in 'counter-terrorism aid' - allegedly to assist Indonesia to build an effective 'counter-terrorism' capacity, but really to institutionalise an Australian security presence there and to bring Indonesia closer to Australia's expanding sphere of influence.

Bush, Blair, Bin Laden - they are all terrorist gangsters
The ruthless slaughter of thousands of civilians in New York and Washington, the majority of them workers, in the very heart of the USA, of capitalism's number one economic and military machine, was not only an abominable war crime. It also marks a giant step in the decomposition of the existing social order.

Irish republicanism: weapon of capital against the working class
In the nineteenth century, when capitalism was still developing, creating the basis for a world economy and the possibility of communism, there were instances when revolutionaries such as Marx supported national struggles. For example, the struggle for an independent Poland was backed as a way of creating a check on Russian tsarist reaction. The struggle for German unificationtruggle for German unification and against the domination of Prussian militarism was also supported by marxists. Marx and Engels also supported the movement for Irish independence, seeing it as a way of weakening the power of what was then the dominant capitalist nation, Britain, and its use of the Irish question as a means of controlling its own proletariat.

Madrid: Terrorist attacks are acts of capitalist war
Two hundred dead and more than 1500 hundred wounded, four trains destroyed, human bodies so horribly torn apart that they could only be recognised by their DNA - this is the terrifying balance sheet of the terrorist attack on the so-called 'Train of Death' which violently shook the morning of 11 March in Madrid.

The British state organises terrorism in Ireland
After investigating four controversial killings in Northern Ireland, retired Canadian judge Peter Cory concluded that agents of the security forces were allowed to set up murders, which the army (especially its Force Research Unit), MI5 and special branch were aware of, encouraged and assisted with. As he made his recommendations for full public inquiries there were press reports that the Ministry of Defence was concerned that "further light would be shed on the undercover operations of the FRU after embarrassing disclosures by an ex-soldier under the pseudonym Martin Ingram" (Guardian, 2/4/04).

Terrorism as an instrument of the state
In Greece in December 15 men were convicted of the nearly 1000 crimes attributed to the November 17 terrorist group during the 27 years of its activity.

Against state terror and nationalist terrorism! For international proletarian solidarity!
The slaughter of over 300 people, the majority of them children, at School Number One in the North Ossetian town of Beslan, cannot fail to provoke indignation and revulsion. No less than the terrorist attacks of September 11 2001 in the US, this was a war crime in which, as ever, the most defenceless members of the civilian population are the first victims. In Beslan, the hostages were subjected to intimidation, hunger, thirst and summary executions, while many more who survived the initial explosion in the gym where they were being held were shot in the back by the hostage-takers when they tried to flee.
In the days following the massacre, world leaders have been rushing to express their 'solidarity with the Russian people' and with their 'strong leader' Mr Putin. At the Republican Convention in New York, Bush did not hesitate to include the Russian state's war against Chechen separatism in the global 'war on terrorism' spearheaded by the USA. In Moscow tens of thousands took part in an official anti-terrorist march under banners declaring 'Putin, we are with you'.

Terrorism: a weapon and a justification for war
Submitted by International Review on 28 November, 2004 - 21:52
On 28th June 1914, the Archduke Franz-Ferdinand of Austria, nephew of the emperor Franz-Joseph and inspector-general of the Austro-Hungarian army, was assassinated in Sarajevo by Gavrilo Princip, a young Serbian nationalist. For Austria, the opportunity was too good to be missed. The Austrians had already laid hands on Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1908, their imperialist appetites whetted by the disintegration of the Ottoman Empire. The assassination provided Austria with the perfect pretext to attack Serbia, which it suspected of encouraging the nationalities under Austrian rule in their desires for independence. The declaration of war followed without the slightest negotiation. What ensued is common knowledge: Russia rushed to Serbia's rescue, fearing to see Austria dominate the Balkans; Germany gave its support to its Austro-Hungarian ally; France in turn supported Russia, while Britain followed; in total, the war that resulted left almost ten million dead, six million mutilated, and Europe in ruins, not to mention the consequences of the war such as the 1918 flu epidemic, which caused more deaths than the war itself.

Editorial: The "anti-terrorist" war sows terror and barbarity
The intensification of the US offensive aimed at maintaining its world leadership has led it to unleash a new war in Afghanistan, and to deploy troops there, on the pretext of a world struggle against terrorism. As we will show in the article that follows, this military escalation and its conclusion today in a crushing American victory, far from bringing any kind of stability to the world is, on the contrary, the precursor of new wars and new massacres. Since the article was written, the situation has worsened in the Middle East, which is the object of this brief introduction.

As the US and Britain send massive military forces to the Gulf, police in London have arrested people alleged to have handled the chemical weapon ricin. This is part of the British state's participation in the 'war against terrorism'. They whip up fear and anxiety over the existence of previously little known substances, and present the capitalist state as a protector against 'alien forces' that have insinuated themselves into British society. Against the scare stories of the media, the following article sets out the marxist framework for understanding what terrorism really is.

Terror, Terrorism and Class Violence
The formidable ideological campaigns of the European bourgeoisie on the subject of terrorism (the Schleyer affair in Germany, the Moro affair in Italy), fig leaves covering a massive strengthening of the terror of the bourgeois state, have made the problem of violence, terror and terrorism a major preoccupation for revolutionaries. These questions are not new for communists: for decades they have denounced the barbaric methods used by the bourgeoisie to maintain its power in society, the savagery which even the most democratic regimes unleash at the slightest threat to the existing order...

The 21st Ius Commune Conference will take place in Maastricht from 24-25 November 2016, and a panel will be devoted to the role of legal sources in the history of Private Law.
Legal changes can be often explained by attending the interaction of legal actors, legal sources, and legal institutions. Legal sources indeed play an important role and occupy a paramount place in the shaping of private law. They offer the necessary building blocks for private law, together with a playfield for legal actors and legal institutions. The current Workshop builds on a previous Workshop on Comparative Legal History held during the 19th Ius Commune Conference and that explored the role of legal actors.
The current Workshop aims now to explore the place of legal sources promoting or hindering changes in private law. Perspectives will be extracted from different time periods, including Roman law, Ius commune, nineteenth-century codification, and the more recent efforts towards an European private law harmonization. The praetorian Edict, medieval glosses and commentaries, early modern handbooks on natural or customary law, collections of judicial decisions since the end of the early modern period, the modern codifications all related differently to legal and societal changes. The question is whether these sources promoted private law to be in harmony (Einklang) with society and societal changes.
Senior researchers and PhD candidates are invited to submit an abstract of a paper related to the above mentioned theme. Abstracts (aprox. 400 words) should be sent to Agustin Parise (agustin.parise@maastrichtuniversity.nl) by July 20, 2016.
The research fellowship is donated by Professor Erk Volkmar Heyen who until his retirement had been holder of the chair of Public Law and European Administrative Law at the Ernst Moritz Arndt University Greifswald. He was also the editor of the "Jahrbuch für europäische Verwaltungsgeschichte/Yearbook of European Administrative History" (JEV). His awarding is based on a selection procedure organized by the Max Planck Institute.
Applications for the year 2017 can be submitted until 30 September 2016.
As we approach the centenary in 2019 of women's admission to the legal profession in the UK and Ireland, lawyers and legal scholars have initiated several projects to mark this achievement which aim to uncover and recover the history of women's experiences of law. These include the Women's Legal Landmarks project, the First 100 Years project and the First Women Lawyers in Great Britain and the Empire Symposium series. This is a golden age for legal scholars undertaking historical work on women and law and for historians working on legal issues.
At the same time, many scholars involved in these and other projects face challenges of methodological insecurity, if not ignorance, because they are working outside their own discipline and sources. Women's legal history, while well-developed in North America, is still in its infancy in the UK and Ireland.
A conference will take place at the Institute of Advanced Legal Studes in London on 26 October 2016.
The aim of this conference is to bring together scholars working in the field to share experiences of doing women's legal history, to learn from each other, and to build and develop the discipline of feminist legal history (that is, women's legal history from a feminist perspective) in the UK and Ireland.
Gillian Murphy from the Women's Library at the LSE, who will discuss the holdings of the Women's Library including both primary and secondary sources relevant to scholars working on women's legal history.
If you are interested in presenting a paper at the conference, please submit a title and abstract of 250 words to the organiser, Rosemary Auchmuty, to whom enquiries on the academic content of the conference should also be addressed. Email:r.auchmuty@reading.ac.uk. The deadline for receipt of abstracts is 31 July 2016.

On 27 October, a one-day workshop will be held at the downtown campus of Osgoode Hall Law School to increase awareness of digital legal history, and encourage discussion of how digital methods and technologies can be used to analyze and present the legal past, and of new initiatives to undertake such projects.
The workshop combines an extended showcase of four projects that each employs a different approach — O Say Can You See: Early Washington, D.C., Law and Family; The Lawyers' Code: Tracking the Migration and Influence of the Field Code; Digital Harlem; and Voices of Authority: the Old Bailey Courtroom — and a set of hands-on workshops offering a beginner-level introduction to the methods used in those projects.

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I had gone to get my makeup done on my due date. Over the years, I've gone to see the same guy at the Trish McEvoy counter at Nordstrom when I need a little makeup pick-me-up.
Side note: it's funny because it's been the same guy who's done my makeup at the Trish counter… no matter what Nordstrom I've lived near. He happened to be at the Norfolk Nordstrom when I was in college, then he was at the Richmond Nordstrom when I lived in Richmond… and now he's based here in Durham. So weird! Anyway, I digress.
While I'm not a "makeup guru" or "beauty expert" by nature, I do love to play with it every now and then. And while I love a lot of drugstore brands (as does my wallet), I have found that investing in a few higher-end brands and products can really do a lot for your makeup stash. It's kinda of like investing in quality pieces for your wardrobe… a similar thought process.
I have loved and used Trish McEvoy* products for YEARS. While her products are always super high quality, well pigmented, and last for a long time, I mainly love them because they don't make me breakout or make my skin react at all. I have pretty sensitive skin and I am allergic to a lot of ingredients in many makeup brands. Well, Trish McEvoy herself happens to be married to a dermatologist, so her makeup is made with skin sensitivity in mind.
When I was getting my makeup done a few weeks ago, my makeup artist happened to use a new Trish lip product on me and I immediately fell in LOVE with it. And, while it may or may not have been a bit of a due-date impulse buy, I am SO glad I got it. It's really made me feel put together on days when I may or may not have showered or been able to wash my hair since having Lilly.
It's Trish's Essential Lip Balm in Gorgeous Pink.
It goes on like a lipstick, but has the shimmer of a lip gloss. Right now it comes in two colors, the Gorgeous Pink that I'm wearing in the picture above and also Gorgeous Coral. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE it.
Yes, I will admit it is on the pricey side ($28… eek!) but I have used Trish lip balms and lip crayons for years and they last for a LONG time. So, while $28 up front is a lot, it really does go a long way.
What makeup products are YOU loving lately? Do you have any makeup brands or products that you like to invest in? I'd love to know your favorites! I'm always wanting to try new things!

But when I apply a push_back again after the while loop to store vector1 in a vector"<"vector"<"string">>" vector2 (as I want to build multiple vector"<"Point">"s later on) the result of vector2 has repeated vector1[0] 2 times and answer is 123456123456789101112. And I want 123456789101112.
What am I doing wrong?
For the question purposes I built the sample vector"<"string">" result; myself but I am getting it from another function in my original code.
    #include<iostream>
    #include<string>
    #include<vector>
    using namespace std;

    int main()
    {
    size_t beg, pos = 0;
    string s = "[[[1 2]] [[3 4]] [[5 6]]]";
    string t = "[[[7 8]] [[9 10]] [[11 12]]]";
    vector<string> resultvec;
    resultvec.push_back(s);
    resultvec.push_back(t);

    string const delims{ "[] " };

    vector<string> vector1;
    vector<vector<string>> vector2;

    for(int i=0; i<resultvec.size(); i++)
    {
        while ((beg = resultvec[i].find_first_not_of(delims, pos)) != string::npos)
        {
            pos = resultvec[i].find_first_of(delims, beg + 1);
            {
                vector1.push_back(resultvec[i].substr(beg, pos - beg));
                //cout << resultvec[i].substr(beg, pos - beg) << endl;
            }
        }

        beg = 0;
        pos = 0;
        vector2.push_back(vector1);
    }
    cout<<"==========vector1==============="<<endl;
    for(int i = 0; i<vector1.size();i++)
    {
        cout<<vector1[i]<<endl;
    }
    cout<<"==========vector2==============="<<endl;
    for(int i = 0; i < vector2.size(); i++)
    {
        for(int j = 0; j < vector2[i].size(); j++)
        {
            cout<<vector2[i][j]<<endl;
        }
    }
    }

A: I think the code is not quite pasted right, but from what I gleem I think you are accumulating vector1 inside the inner loop, adding that to vector2 in the outer loop, but never starting over for vector1 (or is it r?).  You keep appending to vector1 which still contains the previous values.
Add a vector1.clear() call at the top of the outer loop.

A: At first grance, it looks like you forgot to clear vector1 before each iteration.
To clear vector1, add call to clear() here:
    for(int i=0; i<resulvec.size(); i++)
    {
        vector1.clear(); // add call to clear() here
        while ((beg = resultvec[i].find_first_not_of(delims, pos)) != string::npos)
        {
            // omit
        }

        beg = 0;
        pos = 0;
        vector2.push_back(vector1);
    }

But this is actually wrong and now the output will be:
    ===========vector1================
    7
    8
    9
    10
    11
    12
    ===========vector2==============
    1
    2
    3
    4
    5
    6
    7
    8
    9
    10
    11
    12

To obtain the wanted output, you should push vector1 to vector2 only once to match the output from vector1 and vector2.
It will be like this:
    for(int i=0; i<resulvec.size(); i++)
    {
        while ((beg = resultvec[i].find_first_not_of(delims, pos)) != string::npos)
        {
            // omit
        }

        beg = 0;
        pos = 0;
        // move this
        // vector2.push_back(vector1);
    }
    // here
    vector2.push_back(vector1);

No.: 30053.
Abstract: In the absence of a vaccine or specific treatments for Ebola virus disease (EVD), early identification of cases is crucial for the control of EVD epidemics. We evaluated a new extraction kit (SpeedXtract (SE), Qiagen) on sera and swabs in combination with an improved diagnostic reverse transcription recombinase polymerase amplification assay for the detection of Ebola virus (EBOV-RT-RPA). The performance of combined extraction and detection was best for swabs. Sensitivity and specificity of the combined SE and EBOV-RT-RPA were tested in a mobile laboratory consisting of a mobile glovebox and a Diagnostics-in-a-Suitcase powered by a battery and solar panel, deployed to Matoto Conakry, Guinea as part of the reinforced surveillance strategy in April 2015 to reach the goal of zero cases. The EBOV-RT-RPA was evaluated in comparison to two real-time PCR assays. Of 928 post-mortem swabs, 120 tested positive, and the combined SE and EBOV-RT-RPA yielded a sensitivity and specificity of 100% in reference to one real-time RT-PCR assay. Another widely used real-time RT-PCR was much less sensitive than expected. Results were provided very fast within 30 to 60 min, and the field deployment of the mobile laboratory helped improve burial management and community engagement.

Hotel is my home, Hospitality is my life. I'm lucky because I do a job that I love, I wouldn't change it for any other else, simply because I couldn't do anything else! I'm a French citizen, Catalan of extraction (from Perpignan) and have an international training.
My father was a senior manager of Air France and worked in several countries. I traveled a lot when I was a child and always spent my holidays at my grandmother's hotel in the south of France. But I didn't want to be part of that world: I saw how hard my relatives worked, with no room for anything else. So I began to study Law, decided not to follow the familiar footsteps. But soon I realized that the passion for tourism, for people and for trips was rooted in my DNA. So, I finally decided to study Management and work in the hospitality field.
My career started in 1982 with the first experiences: receptionist, bartender, waiter… A few years later I became a manager and started traveling the world, this time on my own. I directed hotels in Sicily, in Taiwan (Grand Hotel Taipei, Grand Hotel Kaohsiung), in North Africa (on behalf of Abu Dhabi Found). Then, when I joined Accor, I had roles in Greece, Egypt (Director of Accor Red Sea), Morocco, Tunisia (Country General Manager). In 2002 I arrived in Sardinia, at the Timi Ama, with the task of developing the new Pullman brand in Italy.
I must admit that I've been my induction in the Seven Stars Pantheon during the amazing Gala Ceremony has been one of the most thrilling moment of my life, a huge consecration to my whole career as a General Manager. I absolutely didn't expect to receive such a recognition and I'm so honoured by this so prestigious reward.
Seven Stars has always been one of the most prestigious awards a hotel and a manager could receive and being inducted in the Pantheon is the absolute satisfaction and honour.
I'm married with an Italian woman and I feel a little bit Italian as well. Each country has its own characteristics, and in order to be successful in my profession you must know how to bring your own style, still remaining humble and try to adapt, understand the country, integrate. Italy is easy for me to understand: I have a Mediterranean temper, the Italian lifestyle is also mine: I like fashion, luxury and beautiful things. I like to bring something of me to the hotel. I am passionate about music, soul and jazz in particular: in 2003 I launched a jazz festival here at the Timi Ama.
My professionalism is based on teamwork. I don't like the one-man-shows. A good boss doesn't try to do everything himself, but delegates tasks to skilled employees. I delegate, then supervise, making sure that everyone feels an integral part of the project and responsible for their work. My leitmotif is "check and double check".

If Libya Can do it, Why Not Israel?
We Can no Longer Turn a Blind Eye to the Fifth Largest Nuclear Power
The Guardian / UK
by Peter Preston
There's a logic to these things. Muammar Gadafy, growing older, and his isolated Libya, growing poorer, were getting nothing worthwhile from the atomic bomb they hadn't built yet or chemicals they had scant residual use for. Logic - and common sense - meant changing tack. Good for logic. But logic doesn't stop there.
What next? If weapons of mass destruction are a menace in unstable regions such as the Middle East, if their availability must be reduced, then logic begins to move us closer to the confrontation we never seek with the nuclear power we - let alone Messrs Bush and Blair - seldom mention: Israel.
Nobody, including the Knesset, quite knows what happens inside the Dimona complex, but if you put together a compote of usually reliable sources (the Federation of American Scientists, Jane's Intelligence Review, the Stockholm Institute), a tolerably clear picture emerges. Ariel Sharon probably has more than 200 nuclear warheads this morning - more if the 17 years since Mordechai Vanunu's kidnapping have been devoted to building stockpiles.
That makes Israel the world's fifth largest nuclear power, boasting more bangs from Washington's bucks than Blair's Britain. And over in the other WMD basket, nobody much dissents when a report by the office of technology assessment for the US Congress concludes that Israel has "undeclared offensive chemical warfare capabilities" and is "generally reported as having an undeclared offensive biological warfare program". Bombs, missiles, delivery systems, gases, germs? Tel Aviv has the lot. We only forget to remember because it's not a suitable subject for polite diplomatic conversation.
Logic, in the old days, didn't trouble too much about that. It saw a state of Israel surrounded by many potential foes who denied its right to exist. It saw such enemies initiate research of their own. It saw too many wars, bitterly fought. It watched the Soviet Union, with warheads to spare, cruising continually in these troubled waters. It was prepared to turn a blind eye and to button its lip.
Come back today for a reality check, though. Saddam's Iraq is a wrecked rat trap. The weapons of mass destruction Gadafy sought are no more, no threat. Yemen, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt? Nothing to say, nothing to show. You can, if you wish, be concerned about Syria's chemical weapons facilities - and you can reasonably worry about a nuclear Iran, even though Tehran took a decisive step back towards international acceptability last week. But Moscow is out of the action, and the whole dynamic of Middle East danger has changed. Logic comes knocking at Sharon's door.
He faces problems, of course: problems of intractable politics and Palestinian suicide bombers. But he can't nuke Gaza or gas Bethlehem. His WMD are useless in any battle for hearts and minds - as practically useless as Gadafy has just deemed them to be. So why keep Dimona and the biological research center at Nes Ziona out of any equation? Why pretend that they don't exist?
The formal logic of defense is threat, counter-threat. Sit in Tehran and look east - at China, India and Pakistan, with their bombs; look west, and there sits Israel. It is natural, in logic, that Iran consider its own deterrent. It will require a deal of understanding engagement - and guarantees - to close off that path. But such guarantees are possible in the age of the world's only superpower. There is every reason to talk frankly about Israel's bomb, just as the Syrians could be closely involved in dismantling chemical stockpiles if only we could find the right language to start.
What, after all, is the current western fear? Of terrorism, rogue states, of more 9/11s. That's why Geoff Hoon's latest defense review moves out of heavy tanks and battleships. It adjusts to what it calls the new realities of flexibility and intelligence. Even Gadafy seems to have noticed. Why not mention them to Sharon?
An Israel bristling with nuclear hardware it cannot talk about and chemical horrors it could negotiate away does not make itself, or the world, any safer. On the contrary, it makes a hypocritical farce of too much Washington bargaining, buries too many initiatives deep down Hypocrisy Gulch and gives rogue groupings in ex-rogue states every reason to carry on developing, stealing or buying the devices that keep Mr Blair awake at night.
Does Tel Aviv see that connection? Does it want to bring a whole region in from the cold? Such things are becoming possible. But first we need the honesty to follow where logic leads; and begin to talk about them.

Edited and compiled by Thomas Dublin, as part of the online database and journal, Women and Social Movements in the United States, and published by Alexander Street, the OBD is the work of hundreds of volunteers. They have researched, written, copyedited, and fact checked the first 950 biographical sketches that appear in this first installment. The organizers expect to add about 500 bio sketches every six months, and by June 2021, to have completed the project with about 3,300 biographical sketches accessible online. Divided into three sections, the OBD will include substantial numbers of Black women suffragists, militant suffragists associated with the National Woman's Party, and mainstream suffragists of the National American Woman Suffrage Association.
Edna Buckman Kearns is featured in the activist database.
Roughly a third of the anticipated number of sketches are not yet assigned and prospective volunteers should contact tdublin@binghamton.edu to express interest in participating. Volunteers will be put in touch with a state coordinator. Volunteers interested in copyediting completed sketches or using genealogical skills to find birth, marriage, and death records for suffrage activists are also needed. Join with the project commemorating the centennial of the ratification of the 19th Amendment.

I added a wool dryer ball to a treat bag and secured the top with a clear elastic hair band.
Then popped in another wool dryer ball and closed the top with another clear elastic hair band.
Attach the snowman had to cover the top using hot glue.
Decorate hat with Christmas florals or ribbon.
Tie on a holiday ribbon scarf between the two wool dryer balls.
Draw a face using your Sharpie markers.
Attach a business card and sample of your favorite essential oil.
How I use mine: REPLACE toxic dryer sheets with wool dryer balls and essential oils! Remove wool dryer balls from packaging, stick the snowman hat on your dog (or not – hahaha!), add a few drops of essential oil to each ball and toss in the dryer with a load of wet clothes. I find that since my dryer has a sensor and stops when clothes are dry, that we don't have issue with static cling. Sometimes, I'll add another drop or two and "air dry" or "fluff" before folding dry clothes.
I used THESE plastic ornaments.
I added a few curls of white gift ribbon inside.
Young Living gift ideas: Thieves Waterless Hand Purifier, Lip Balm, Thieves Disinfecting Spray, Essential Oil sample sachet, Wolfberry Truffles, Ningxia Nitro, Ningxia Red, business card, note, gift card, essential oils, essential oils gift certificate, etc.
Close up the ornament and tie on a pretty festive ribbon.
What I did: 3-5 drops of essential oil to 1 oz of distilled water. Decorate and label. Shake and spray.

BBC – Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir has ordered the closure of 13 overseas missions and job cuts at the foreign ministry due to an economic crisis, reports state media.
"The decisions have been taken in order to cut costs, given the economic situation in the country," Suna news agency reports his decree as saying.
It added that diplomats in the foreign ministry will have to do their own administrative work as the whole administration team is being sacked.
The announcement comes after ex-Foreign Minister Ibrahim Ghandour said Sudanese diplomats abroad had not been paid for months and wanted to return to Khartoum.
But Mr Ghandour was not thanked for the warning – he was sacked by the president.
