Maggie Ingram: Live in Richmond
Evangelist Maggie Lee Ingram is unquestionably the "Gospel Queen" of Richmond, Virginia. Along with her family group, the Ingramettes, Maggie has delighted Richmond audiences for more than fifty years. Along the way, she has performed at such illustrious stages as the Kennedy Center and the National Folk Festival. In 2009 Maggie received the Virginia Heritage Award for a lifetime of excellence in the folk and traditional arts.
The Paschall Brothers: Songs for Our Fathers
Hampton Roads, the growing metropolitan region at the convergence of the James River, Atlantic Ocean, and the Chesapeake Bay, has long been one of our country's most musically fertile regions, producing world-class performers in a broad range of musical styles from jazz to rhythm and blues, rock and roll, and perhaps most notably, gospel. In its heyday in the early-to-mid twentieth century, the region became known internationally for its classic Tidewater Gospel Sound, sung in four-part harmony, without musical accompaniment. The Paschall Brothers are the current torch bearers of this traditional singing style.
Spencer Family & Friends: Greetings from Whitetop
Deep in the most rugged mountains of southwestern Virginia, on the slopes and in the hollows of Mt. Rogers and Whitetop Mountain, a rich tradition of old-time music has endured through many decades of changes. As the popularity of bluegrass, rock, and rap flooded the country, and as the popularity of old-time music came and went, and arose again throughout the Appalachians, the old-time musicians of the Whitetop area maintained their pure, rich musical heritage like burning embers in a banked fire.
Banjo, Crooked Road, Fiddle, Folk songs, Guitar, Mandolin, Old Time
Nat Reese: Save A Seat for Me
Nathaniel Hawthorne "Nat" Reese was born March 4, 1924 in Salem, Virginia to Thomas Walker Reese and Rosa Sylvester Caroline Wilson Reese. Thomas was originally from Montgomery, Alabama, and Rosa from Bessemer, Alabama. The family had previously lived in Florida and Georgia before coming to Virginia to, as Nat puts it, "get away from the cotton fields."
Blues, Crooked Road, Folk songs
Eddie Bond: Take Me Back
As this recording demonstrates, Eddie Bond has talents that can bring an audience out of their seats. He is a powerful singer in a soulful Blue Ridge Mountain tradition, as well as one of the most respected old-time fiddlers in the Blue Ridge.
Crooked Road, Fiddle, Old Time
Linda Lay & Sammy Shelor: Taking the Crooked Road Home
Linda and Sammy come from legendary musical communities on Virginia's Crooked Road. The Meadows of Dan and Clayman Valley are tiny mountain places separated by 150 miles of hairpin turns, old mills, crossroads stores, mom and pop eateries, and towns with one stop light or none, but only 90 miles by the way the crow flies.
Banjo, Bluegrass, Crooked Road, Folk songs, Guitar
Frank Newsome: Gone Away with a Friend
A few years back at his Hills of Home Festival in Coeburn, Virginia, Ralph Stanley brought out a special guest during his set that he and his wife Jimmie wanted us to hear. There, alone on that stage, Frank Newsome sang "Gone Away With a Friend." I'm sure there were many others like me who were riveted and had a profound experience. On many levels it was one of the most powerful, spiritual, mournful, emotional, beautiful, and hopeful things I have ever heard. There is a purity about Frank's singing that brings a soul-stirring, heart-tugging peacefulness that is beyond words.
Crooked Road, Gospel
The Mullins Family: Let Your Light Shine Out
I am happy to declare that there are many things worth remembering about my childhood. There are lots of memories that have evaporated over time, but the earliest sights and sounds that still ring the most clearly are those of music and singing. I have come to understand that the love of making music with one's voice has long been a central part of my family. I may never know exactly how far back the story goes, but I do know that singing has to be just about as much a part of my being as living and breathing.

So many companies reward their top people with a trip. Destination: Hawaii, Mexico, Sonoma or somewhere exotic that feels like a getaway. Earlier this year, I even saw a bunch of top medical sales professionals in Park City, Utah enjoying a club retreat (as we were on day 10 of a family road trip).
We usually go into these trips with an attitude of, "Oh, good – I deserve it," and we go, and we just tune out. It could be a missed opportunity to expand your network, connect with others and even influence team members and leaders. Whether you're heading off on an incentive trip, a club retreat for high performers (like yourself), or if you're jetting off to a mid-year kickoff event, these work trips offer a huge opportunity.
Ask Questions. This applies to everyone – whether you're the boss or you're getting the chance to talk to your boss. Anticipate the chance to ask (and answer) a couple of questions. It's easy for leaders to hear these questions and jump to solutions. This tip is especially for leaders! It's easy to get defensive or quickly try to pull out a solution when you're put on the spot. Instead, ask more questions. Get to know the person and the problem even better.
Network. If you haven't read Keith Ferrazzi's book, Never Eat Alone, go ahead and take that with you on the plane to bone up on some key tips for planning ahead and maximizing those moments out of the office with your colleagues. You might not have another chance to connect with your peers and other leaders until you need their support on a big initiative or need them to cover for you with an important client. Don't forget to connect the dots.
Consider your message. Are you taking the stage or grabbing the mic at one of these big events? Remember, even these casual events and off-sites are incredible opportunities to inspire and motivate your team toward something bigger and for you to stand out. Take a moment to Grid™ your remarks (download a copy here) – it'll be worth it.
There's a reason your company invests in these reward trips to strengthen and recognize great team culture and performance. Make sure you are taking full advantage of the value they present to you.
Oh – and have fun.
Coordinating Schedules? You Can Do Better.


After last night's late night we were all a bit slow to start this morning. Jen and I didn't really get out until about 10:00 AM to get some coffee and tea across the street. Perhaps more than Jen I was content to just sit at that cafe for the rest of the day, perhaps the rest of my life, but that wouldn't be how we spent our last day in Paris.
Instead we walked over to Les Invalides where I, again, did not see Napoleon's tomb. We walked along the grounds for a bit but I felt that it would be wiser to leave this as a good reason to bring us back to Paris again in the future. After all, I am a huge fan of Napolean, especially after Armand Assante's amazing performance in Napoleon and Josephine: A Love Story. Still the greatest miniseries ever made.
After a nice French repeat lunch (more duck, chevre chaud, etc.) we took a subway ride back to the hotel to meet up with the rest of the group. Unfortunately the rest of the group had plans to return to the Champs-Élysées for shopping. After yesterday's outing to Petite Batteau I din't think I could take another round of that. I think that may be the most boring store in the entire world.
I opted to go to the Arc de Triomphe instead and climb a very tall spiral staircase to see Paris from above.
The view was pretty great and I got a lot of great photographs from the top of the monument. Afterwards I descended the stairs and met up with the group who relayed the woes of waiting in terribly long lines to buy foods for dinner. We had planned on having a picnic dinner on the Champ de Mars for our last night while drinking one of the bottles of Bordeaux we'd acquired. The only problem was that we had no corkscrew.
Jen was brave enough to go into a horrific souvenir shop on the Champs-Élysées but was only able to find a terrible corkscrew for $15.
Jen is so brave that she had enough bravery to do this again in another souvenir shop off the Champs-Élysées. This time she and Elisha struck gold.
Tacky, tacky gold. Oh, and by the way, it's also a refrigerator magnet.
From there we jumped on the subway which got stuck in the station for about ten minutes while we were all held captive by a rogue accordion busker. He seemed to do pretty well when, out of sheer boredom, people started walking up to him and giving him money to pass the time.
Dinner was a collection of sandwiches, breads, and wines that these great ladies had put together.
Jen exhibited pure delight as she used the ineffective and gaudy corkscrew to open our Bordeaux.
Matt's dreams came true and he was able to have quiche in France. It's so easy for all of us to be happy in life when our goals are so easily attained. Me with my sunflower photographs, Matt with his personal sized quiche.
I didn't feel like Bordeaux so I took some tiny bottles of 1664 from the hotel fridge and brought them along. They were probably too expensive at €4.00 each but after so many frivolities over the past two weeks they were totally worth it. I did not, however, have the foresight to buy a tacky overpriced beer opener so I had to get creative and use a 2p piece from Rene along with another bottle of beer using a technique I'd learned in Jamaica.
Jen and Elisha told tales of just how hard they fought to get these macarons for dessert after waiting in line for 30 minutes and paying a small fortune. They were worth the hassel. At least to me since I didn't have to do anything at all to enjoy them.
To accompany the macarons we smuggled some glasses out of our hotel with us and poured some peach liqueur that we'd received as wedding favors. Peach liqueur will always make me remember this moment: the cool air, the sun being out until well after 10:00 PM, endless sketchy dudes walking up to us trying to sell us booze, teenagers making out inappropriately all around us. All this will remind me of our last night in Paris with friends.
Tomorrow we try to fly out of Paris early to catch our connecting flight in Zurich. We'll see if luck is on our side and if our seatmates are a little more generous than those we've shared planes with in the past.
Kathy says: "Whatevs! Hope you lamers get home nice and safe so you can return to America and eat at Olive Garden every night. Lame!"

NACHTMYSTIUM Mainman: "It's Really F**ked Up' That BLYTHE Is Being Held On Manslaughter Charges
July 19, 2012 0 Comment Lamb of God, Nachtmystium, Randy Blythe
Blake Judd (pictured below) of Chicago-based extremists NACHTMYSTIUM is one of a number of musicians who have come out in support of LAMB OF GOD frontman Randy Blythe, who is facing manslaughter charges in the Czech Republic.
Blythe, 41, is accused of causing the fatal injury that occurred at LAMB OF GOD's May 24, 2010 show in Prague. The singer allegedly either pushed or struck a 19-year-old fan named Daniel N. — a guitarist in a local metal band — and that person died almost a month later of bleeding in the brain.
Randy has been charged with causing "bodily harm of the fourth degree, resulting in the death of a fan" and faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.
Speaking to SkullsNBones.com, Blake said, "I think it's really, really fucked up that Randy is being held on fucking manslaughter charges for pushing a kid off a stage into a crowd of people who are obviously stage diving. The crowd catches people when they dive or get pushed off the stage at a show that packed, I've watched it happen a million times. It was NOT Randy's intent to hurt that kid. Regardless, though, the kid shouldn't have been on the fucking stage in the first place, and if you ask me, that kid is dead because the club's security failed to do its job of keeping the band (especially a super-high-profile band like LAMB OF GOD) and the fans separated. That kid should have never been able to get on stage. If he was passed up by the crowd from crowd surfing, then the stage security should've been there to pull him down like they do at any professional venue I've ever played where this kind of thing is occurring, get the kid down on his feet and usher him down the front of the stage on the floor behind the gates (that should've been there, not sure if they were or not in this situation but I'm assuming they were) back into the crowd or kicked outside for violating the club's policy about stage diving, crowd surfing, etc., if they have one — which all clubs should, to prevent things like this from happening. You can have a plenty good time at a rock concert without doing stupid shit like that."
When asked what he does when a fan jumps on stage and doesn't jump off, Judd said, "This has only happened once that I can remember. Strange scenario… we were playing in Vilnius, Lithuania and some teenage guy (probably 18-19) ran on stage at full speed directly at me with some large object in his hand that I couldn't see what it was. I immediately turned and got, like, into a stance where I was ready to have someone try to tackle me or attack me, and it turns out it was some crazy fan with a record and a marker (?!) who literally felt it was the appropriate time to get an autograph from me, whether I liked it or not, right after our first two songs on stage in our set there that night. I was super pissed at first and I started writing "fuck off" on the kid's record, but I felt bad, so he has a record that says "Fuck Blake Judd," signed by me. [laughs] The situation was startling, however, and I certainly spoke with the promoter after the show about his security, as it was a rowdy and rather large crowd to begin with. This is the only time I can remember something like this happening to me."

If you avidly watch the hit show, Riverdale, you definitely know about Jughead's little sister, Jellybean. The actress who portrays Jellybean is Trinity Linkins, who has also been in 'Christmas in the Air' and the drama series 'Unspeakable'. Linkins, at only age 13, is well on her way to becoming a successful actress, already being on a hit TV show. We had the honor of chatting with Linkins about her role and success on Riverdale.

Coat: Michael Kors, Boots United Nude, Pants Area, Jewelry Lilou
MOOD: You are currently playing the role of Jughead's younger brother on the hit show, Riverdale. What has your experience on set been so far, and what's it like working with Cole Sprouse, who also started his career at an early age?
Trinity: It's been one of, if not, the best learning experience of my life. I have so much admiration for Cole & the whole cast and crew. It's been so surreal and an absolute dream.
MOOD: Can you take us through your audition process? We would love to know everything from your initial casting tape, to your reaction when you got the news about landing your role.
Trinity: I had received an email that I had an audition for the role, but I was going on a hiking trip with my school the next week, so I wouldn't be available for the audition (I would have 100% missed the trip if it weren't for my parents). Instead, I did a self-tape audition which is simply where you tape yourself doing a few scenes they send along. I didn't get my hopes up because I knew the show was so big, and I didn't think they would cast someone new to the industry like me. Then months later, I had somewhat forgotten about the audition, and I was eating lunch at school and got calls from my dad, mom, agent, etc. telling me about the news. I was thrilled!
MOOD: You're 13 years old and are already shining on center stage. What are some of the challenges of being in the spotlight at such a young age?
Trinity: Though I definitely don't consider myself that way, getting used to a lot of rejection has been challenging, but has also given me a lot of determination. It can be really difficult to stay positive, and it definitely tests your resilience. In the end, if you're passionate about something it's all worth it.

Seven groups made pitches to Saskatoon city council for new and upgraded recreation and culture facilities at a special committee meeting Wednesday.
Here's a rundown of the ideas and what the proponents want from the City of Saskatoon.
A group hoping to bring a professional soccer team to Saskatoon in the embryonic Canadian Premier League wants to build an 8,200-seat modular stadium with a bubble dome so it can be used in winter. The stadium is projected to cost $20 million and take nine to 10 months to build, but proponents are not looking for money from the city. They do want land in the north downtown, possibly where the city yards are located. The group is negotiating with Prairieland Park to play the first two seasons at the grandstand. The plan is to have the stadium ready by 2021.
Spurred by the success of the Saskatchewan Rush, a group wants to build an indoor lacrosse facility with three fields. The plan remains in its early stages with the possibility that land downtown might be needed from the city one day.
The Friends of the Bowl Foundation wants $5 million from the city over five years to build a new track and field facility where the Clarence Downey Speedskating Oval is located in the Gordie Howe Sports Complex. Saskatoon needs a new outdoor athletics facility with the one at Griffiths Stadium slated for closure. Last week, an anonymous donor contributed $15 million to the project, which also includes other upgrades.
The group pushing for a $5 million river park to be located at the weir is not seeking any money from the city, but wants to be included in city plans for a hydro power plant at the weir. The city is exploring the hydro plant in collaboration with the Saskatoon Tribal Council. The Saskatoon River Park Association does want to explore a partnership with the city on potential onshore amenities. The group says the park would be too expensive to build on its own without partnering with a hydro plant.
The Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan festival is planning to build two permanent pavilions and rent them out during the fall, winter and spring. The redevelopment of the site is anticipated to cost $3 million, but festival officials are not seeking any money from the city, only a longer lease. Construction is planned to start in the fall of 2018 and be complete by July 2019. Some improvements to nearby city amenities like bathrooms may be needed.
The Children's Discovery Museum is raising $15 million to renovate the former Mendel Art Gallery. The museum will lease the building from the city and is expected to open in early 2019. Council heard Wednesday that the museum wants $2 million from the city over three years. In June, council approved spending $1.3 million to upgrade the building.
YMCA executive director Dean Dodge expressed interest in pursuing a partnership with the city for a new recreation facility in the city's growing northeast. The city's recreation "game plan" identifies the need for a $25-million aquatics facility in the northeast in the next decade.

What is a normal fetal heart rate at 17 weeks?
Your baby's heartbeat is now being regulated by the brain beating at between 120-160 beats per minute – that's about twice as fast as yours!
Is a fetal heart rate of 175 normal?
By the beginning of the ninth week of pregnancy, the normal fetal heart rate is an average of 175 bpm. At this point, it begins a rapid deceleration to the normal fetal heart rate for mid-pregnancy, about 120–180 bpm.
What does baby moving at 16 weeks feel like?
Week 16: Some pregnant women will start to feel tiny butterfly-like flutters. The feeling might just be gas, or it might be the baby moving. Week 20: By this point in your baby's development, you may start to really feel your baby's first movements, called "quickening."
Is 120 a good fetal heart rate?
Conclusions. Normal ranges for FHR are 120 to 160 bpm. Many international guidelines define ranges of 110 to 160 bpm which seem to be safe in daily practice.
What was your Babys heartbeat at 16 weeks?
At our 16 week appointment today little one's heartbeat was 144 bpm. According to the old wives tale his heartbeat would indicate we have a pre… According to the old wives tale his heartbeat would indicate we have a precious baby boy.
What is normal heart rate of 16 week fetus?
At this point, a normal fetal heart rate is about the same heart rate as the mother's: 80 to 85 beats per minute (bpm). From this point, it will increase its rate of about three beats per minute per day during that first month.
How do you calculate a baby heart rate?
To measure the baby's heartbeat, you simply count the number of these beats over a minute's time; you can also count the number in 15 seconds and multiply that by 4. Typically, a baby's heartbeat is in the range of 120 to 160 beats per minute; if you get lower than that, you may be hearing your heartbeat across the placenta and not the baby's.
How early can you hear baby heartbeat?
You may be able to hear your baby's heartbeat earlier if your caregiver decides to do an ultrasound. The earliest that a heartbeat can be detected with this method is about eight weeks.


"Unless I see it I won't believe it!" How many times have you heard someone meake this statement about something incredible that has happened? Many people have made this statement concerning the resurrection of Jesus. Did Jesus really come back to life after being dead in the grave for three days and were there any witnesses to prove this event? The answer to both of these questions is yes, Jesus did come back to life and there were witnesses.
Here Paul points out that Jesus was seen alive buy over 500 people after His resurrection. He was seen alive be the 12 Disciples, He was seen alive by 500 brethren, He was seen alive by the Apostles. Paul doesn't mention it here but Jesus was also seen alive by Mary at the tomb only moments after His resurrection. Jesus was seen by different groups of people, at different times, in different locations. This information is critical because it shows unity in the claims of different people, at different times, and in different locations. These resurrection appearances occurred 12 different times over a period of 40 days. This wasn't a "one time deal" witnesses by just one or two as some would have you to believe.
Remember, only two witnesses are needed to establish the truth of an event in a court of law today. Over 500 people witnessed and interacted with Jesus after His death, burial, and resurrection. Don't doubt this established truth?

Research experiences and interests
I studied nuclear chemical engineering at the University of Tokyo where my initial interest was sorption of uranium on nanoparticles using surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy. After Ph.D. work, I switched to molecular modeling of actinide complexes in combination with X-ray absorption spectroscopy. I moved to Europe and first joined a theory group in Stockholm and later worked at synchrotron facility in France. I then moved to Dresden and focused on studying luminous character of uranium by combining quantum chemical calculations and time-resolved spectroscopic techniques. Currently I work in biophysics division and my main focus is to apply fragment molecular orbital (FMO) method on metal-bound protein and DNA. I work closely with the developers of FMO program ABINIT-MP. Since 2017 I work partly at Tokyo Institute of Technology in the actinide coordination chemistry group of Prof. Koichiro Takao.

How effective are the teachers in your child's school?
The number of Maryland public school teachers who were rated ineffective in the classroom last year tripled to more than 1,200 out of a workforce of 43,800, according to statistics released Tuesday by the state Department of Education.
Under a new evaluation system that uses student achievement to help identify struggling teachers, about 56 percent of teachers were found to be effective and 41 percent were highly effective. Three percent were ineffective.
State school officials cautioned that more analysis is needed to determine how valid the data will be in helping to improve instruction.
"This is a first-time effort. We are learning," said Dave Volrath, planning and development officer for the state Department of Education. Parents "should be patient with the school district and their school, giving time to analyze the data to improve teacher and principal performance."
The data included teacher performance during the 2013-2014 school year in every district but Montgomery County. The results varied so widely between school systems and individual schools that some questioned whether they provide an accurate view of teacher quality.
In Anne Arundel County, 6 percent of the teachers were rated ineffective; the number came to less than 1 percent in Baltimore, Carroll and Harford counties. In Baltimore City, 3 percent were rated ineffective. In Howard County, it was 1 percent.
"What this data can't tell us is whether it is true," said Sandi Jacobs, vice president of the National Council on Teacher Quality, a Washington-based nonprofit.
She said the variations are likely a result of inconsistencies in how the new system was applied from one school district to the next. Each district designed its own evaluations, following statewide guidelines that included the percentage of student achievement to be factored in.
The evaluation system is part of a series of major education reforms the state pledged to make to receive federal Race to the Top funds. The state committed to using standardized test scores as part of the evaluation, but the implementation has been delayed until the 2016-2017 school year.
Teachers have been judged based on achievement objectives for their students that are set at the beginning of the school year with their principals.
Montgomery County was not included because the county did not sign the federal Race to the Top agreement.
State officials said they expect local school districts to study their results so that they can adjust individual evaluation systems.
Cheryl Bost, vice president of the union that represents most of the state's teachers, said the data should be analyzed to assess its accuracy and whether the evaluation methods are sound. If the information proves reliable, she said, school systems should focus on support to teachers who are struggling.
The new results are "one piece of data we can use in a multitude of data to move forward with all these reforms," said Bost, of the Maryland State Education Association.
Teachers who are found to be ineffective this year or in the future can be fired. The length of time before a teacher can be fired varies by school district, depending on the union contract.
In Baltimore, teachers with higher ratings can earn higher salaries.
State officials said they did not have a target for how many teachers should have been in each category from ineffective to highly ineffective.
Jacobs said states that are releasing first-year evaluation data have reported similarly wide variations among districts. She said she would expect more than 3 percent of teachers would receive an ineffective rating under the new system. Under the old systems, about 2 percent of teachers nationwide were rated as ineffective.
The results showed that students in schools with high percentages of minority and low-income students are less likely to have highly effective teachers and slightly more likely to have ineffective teachers.
"Tears came rolling down my face when I saw this," said state school board member Linda Eberhart, who taught in Baltimore.
Officials said parents should look at the data in light of all the other information they know about their children's schools.
"My kid goes to this school," said Ben Feldman, a state official who helped to analyze the data. "Do [the ratings] match my perception of the school? If they do, then that should be affirming. If they don't, that is a conversation."
As a group, school districts in Central Maryland, with 2.3 percent of teachers rated ineffective, performed slightly better than the state as a whole.
But even within individual counties, performance varied widely.
At five schools in Anne Arundel, including Edgewater and Rolling Knolls elementaries, one-third of the teachers were rated ineffective. But the county also had schools at which every faculty member was highly rated. At five Anne Arundel schools, including Overlook and Crofton Meadows elementaries, 100 percent of the teachers were rated highly effective.
A quarter of the teachers at Beechfield Elementary School and Renaissance Academy in Baltimore were rated ineffective.
Jennifer Bell-Ellwanger, Baltimore's chief achievement and accountability officer, said the district would examine the results to look for instances in which principals might have been too harsh or lenient in their evaluations, and might need additional training.
"This is a big cultural shift to go from an evaluation system that was much more subjective" to one that uses objective standards, Bell-Ellwanger said. In some schools, she said, principals are struggling with the difficult conversations they must have with teachers who need to improve.
School officials in Baltimore County credited the comparatively low percentage of ineffective teachers in the district to assistance they provided to new teachers who were rated ineffective in the past.
A private contractor working with state officials will analyze the data in greater detail, with results to be released in the spring.
In other business, the state school board voted Tuesday to back away from requiring current ninth- and 10th-graders to pass the new PARCC English 10 and Algebra I tests in order to graduate from high school.
Superintendents, local school boards and other state educators had lobbied the state to hold off on the requirement for two years while schools and students got used to the PARCC tests, which are to be given for the first time this school year.
Ninth-graders in the 2016-2017 school year will need to pass those end-of-year tests before they graduate.


"The Sleepers" will bow on HBO Europe in late 2019. Ondrej Gabriel wrote the series. Ivan Zacharias, who directed HBO Europe's "Wasteland," returns to the premium pay-TV player to helm all episodes.
Tereza Polachova, producer for HBO Czech Republic, added that the story is seen from Marie's perspective, giving a female take on a what is usually a male-oriented genre. "Telling a spy story from the point of view of an average woman made this a fascinating, compelling and irresistible drama for us – and, we believe, will do for audiences, too," she said.
Executive producers are Polachova for HBO Czech Republic and Steve Matthews for HBO Europe. Jan Bilek produces for Etamp Film.

Keratinocyt je hlavní pokožková buňka; představuje až 95% všech buněk v lidské pokožce. Pojmenování vychází ze skutečnosti, že keratinocyty obsahují množství bílkoviny keratinu. Mimo to obsahují také melanin, barvivo, které jim dodávají buňky zvané melanocyty.

Keratinocyty v pokožce
V pokožce vytváří keratinocyty 5 rozlišitelných vrstev. Nejníže (ve stratum basale) jsou keratinocyty cylindrického tvaru, které přímo sousedí se škárou. Tyto buňky vytváří kompaktní pevnou tkáň pospojovanou buněčnými spoji a vyztuženou vnitrobuněčnými vlákny keratinu. Nad ní je stratum spinosum s ploššími buňkami. O něco výše se nachází stratum granulosum, tvořené plochými buňkami s množstvím váčků obsahujícími například lipidy. Nad ním je velmi tenká, světlolomná vrstva stratum lucidum, v níž buňky začínají degenerovat, zplošťovat se a ztrácet některé buněčné organely. Vrstva nejblíže povrchu se nazývá stratum corneum, kde jsou buňky mrtvé, vyplněné keratinem. Ty nejsvrchnější keratinocyty se odlupují rychlostí až tisíc buněk za minutu. Odpadlé buňky jsou poté postupně nahrazovány z bazální vrstvy.

Funkce
Hlavní role keratinocytů spočívá ve vytváření ochranné bariéry mezi organismem a vnějším prostředím.

Hojení ran
Při poranění pokožky se v průběhu zánětu, za působení několika cytokinů a růstových faktorů, aktivují keratinocyty bazální vrstvy a začnou se dělit. Kromě toho také začnou měnit svou buněčnou strukturu, což jim umožňuje migrovat do rány a postupně jí zacelit.  První skupina keratinocytů podílejících se na opravě poškození ovšem pochází z kmenových buněk vlasového folikulu a v ráně vydrží pouze dočasně. Postupně jsou totiž tyto buňky nahrazeny keratinocyty z epidermis.

Ve chvíli kdy se rána zahojí, signál k proliferaci vymizí a pokožka se začne stratifikovat.

Diferenciace
Epidermální kmenové buňky leží v nejspodnější vrstvě pokožky (stratum basale).

Kmenová buňka se rozdělí na dvě buňky dceřiné. V rámci tohoto dělení mohou nastat tři případy. Buď vzniknou dvě buňky kmenové, nebo jedna buňka kmenová a jedna buňka určená k diferenciaci, nebo dvě buňky určené k diferenciaci. Který z těchto tří zmíněných případů nastane, závisí na aktuálních potřebách pokožky. Poté co se potomci kmenových buněk ještě několikrát rozdělí, ukončí svůj buněčný cyklus a podstoupí terminální diferenciaci. V průběhu diferenciace se jednotlivé buňky pohybují směrem k vnějším vrstvám epidermis a stávají se tak částí jedné z vrstev pokožky (stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum lucidum, stratum corneum).

Tato terminální diferenciace vede až k vytvoření tzv. korneocytů, neboli keratinocytů, které se nachází v nejsvrchnější vrstvě epidermis a které dokončily terminální diferenciaci a ztratily jádro a cytoplasmatické organely.  Staré korneocyty postupně odpadnou a nahradí je nové, které pochází ze spodních vrstev epidermis.

Celý proces od přeměny kmenové buňky až k odloupnutí korneocytu trvá 40 - 56 dní.

V různém stádiu diferenciace exprimují keratinocyty různé typy keratinu. V nejspodnější vrstvě (stratum basale) je to keratin 5 a keratin 14. Blíže k povrchu, tedy ve stratum spinosum a stratum granulosum, se jedná o keratin 1 a keratin 10.

Interakce s ostatními buňkami
Keratinocyty se podílejí na ochraně organismu proti UV záření přijímáním melanozomů syntetizujících ochranný pigment melanin. Ke správné distribuci melaninu je potřeba asociace jednoho melanocytu, jedné Langerhansovy buňky a zhruba 36 keratinocytů, které dohromady vytváří funkční jednotku. Melanozomy naplněné melaninem se pomocí motorových proteinů aktinového i tubulinového cytoskeletu dostávají k dendritickým výběžkům melanocytů a poté jsou předány do keratinocytů. V nich jsou uloženy jako ochrana DNA proti UV záření.

Keratinocyty také spolupracují s imunitním systémem. Pokud se patogen dostane do svrchní vrstvy epidermis, keratinocyty začnou produkovat proteiny zvané chemokiny, které na dané místo přilákají buňky imunitního systému, konkrétně monocyty, NK buňky, T-lymfocyty a dendritické buňky.

Mimo to jsou keratinocyty ve stratum basale spojeny prostřednictvím desmozomů s tzv. Merkelovými buňkami, které v epidermis slouží jako mechanoreceptory.

Patologie

Civatte body
Civatte body je anglický název pro keratinocyty ve stratum basale, které prošly programovanou buněčnou smrtí. Jsou složeny převážně z keratinových intermediálních filament a jsou trvale obaleny imunoglobuliny, především IgM. Tyto útvary se mohou vyskytnout u mnoha kožních onemocněních, nicméně jsou typické pro nemoci zvané discoid lupus erythematosus a lichen planus.

Epidermolysis bullosa
Epidermolysis bullosa, konkrétně její typ epidermolysis bullosa simplexní, je dědičné onemocnění pokožky způsobené mutacemi v genech pro keratin 5 a keratin 14. To má za následek degeneraci bazální vrstvy epidermis, což se projevuje tvorbou puchýřů.

Nádory odvozené od keratinocytů
Nádory odvozené od keratinocytů jsou nejčastější formou rakoviny kůže. Jsou způsobeny především nadměrným vystavením pokožky UV záření, ale na jejich vzniku se mohou podílet i jiné faktory, jako například kouření nebo genetické poruchy.

Mezi tyto nádory patří bazocelulární a spinocelulární karcinom.

What Does it Mean to Transport or Distribute Methamphetamine?
If you distribute methamphetamine across 2 or more county lines the imprisonment sentence increases.
There is an additional year in jail if you distribute methamphetamine within 1,000 feet of a drug treatment center, a detox facility, or a homeless shelter.
If you're distributing or transporting more than one kilo of methamphetamine you face an additional 3 to 15 years of imprisonment.
If you were transporting methamphetamine but did not intend to sell it then you can't be charged with this crime.
You only transported and distributed methamphetamine because you were coerced into doing so by a police officer. This is called entrapment. It means you wouldn't have done the crime under normal circumstances.
Have you been legally accused of committing transportation or distribution of methamphetamine? If you have been arrested or charged with a crime, it is essential to obtain legal council for help. It's important to take your charges seriously. Don't just hope for the best. Hire an attorney who understands your situation and the consequences you face.

Head Spin & Go coach
Spin & Go's played > 200,000
Lifetime winnings > $700,000
Highest Buy-In $1,000
I was already playing MTT's for about 2 years when PokerStars introduced the Spin & Go format and since I never studied too hard during my times as an MTT player I figured out that it would be a good choice to learn this new game from people who are good at 25BB hyper games. So I decided to join a poker team that was on the market. This way I managed to receive coaching sessions and strategy materials that were specially designed to help poker players crush the Spin & Go stakes.
I climbed to the highest stakes in record time, I immediately started to have very good results and this is how I got the chance to become a coach. My work ethic and my success as a poker player brought me where I am today. Offering coaching sessions to other players from all stakes was a great experience and it helped me become a better player and an experienced coach. I learned that if you work with the best players no matter the stake, you get a lot of input, thing which is very effective and pushes you further through your development process.
I became a partner and a head coach in my former team and I'm very grateful for the opportunities that were given to me there. I like to think both parties were very happy with our partnership for a long time.
So why did I leave my old team? Because I got the opportunity to work on something new, to work with what I hope will become an exceptional team in the Spin & Go community. Not everybody gets the chance to work with bitB and ProPokerBacking. When I had the chance to start this cooperation it didn't take me long to accept.
During my time as a MTT player, I won a Scoop watch, a MicroMillion title and a Sunday Kickoff as the most prestigious titles to mention. As a Spin & Go player I managed to obtain winnings of at least $100,000 every year while giving hundreds of coaching hours and creating loads of content for my students.
I like to think I'm a decent coach and among the best coaches when it comes to this poker format. The main reason why I affirm this is because I managed to come from the bottom to the top and I know how to go on this road over and over again. I have more experience than 90% of the Spin & Go coaches and I worked with over 300 different students in private or group coaching sessions and at the same time, I had the chance to work with amazing Spin & Go coaches and to learn a lot of new strategy things while playing or working with them.

Association Between Poor Physical Health and Suicide Among Elderly Men
Dinko Kranjac, PhD, Medical Editor
elderly man alone
The extent or severity of physical ailments and functional impairment needs to be carefully examined in order to successfully prevent suicide in late life.
Rates of suicide for both genders increase significantly with advancing age, with the 85-and-older age group being at the highest risk. In the United States, this age pattern is observed particularly among men. Although mood disorders are known risk factors, it has been proposed that symptoms of depression alone cannot adequately explain late-life self-harm and suicidal behavior. For example, psychological autopsy studies show that major depression is present in approximately 50% of suicides. Comorbid psychiatric and physical health problems, however, are frequently observed among older adults.
In a new study published by the journal Preventative Medicine, investigators further examined the association between poor physical health and the risk of suicide. Results indicate that the presence of multiple health morbidities is associated with suicidal behavior among older men.
Previous reports indicate that, among older adults, functional disability and poor self-rated health is associated with suicidal behavior, including suicidal ideation. Various specific cardiovascular (eg, history of myocardial infarction), pulmonary (eg, COPD), genitourinary (eg, prostate and male genital disorders), and musculoskeletal (eg, arthritis/rheumatism) conditions, as well as chronic pain and cancer, are also associated with the wish to die. It's becoming clear that the extent or severity of physical ailments and functional impairment needs to be carefully examined in order to successfully prevent suicide in late life.
In the current study, investigators followed more than 38 000 Australian men aged 65-85 years (median=72) for up to 16 years to examine the association between suicide attempts or completion and poor physical function. During the study, 1.2% (n=443) of men attempted suicide. Once the participants with a history of a past suicide attempt (n=240) were excluded from the analyses, bipolar disorder, depressive disorder, alcohol use disorder, and substance use disorder at baseline were associated with a novel suicide attempt. Illnesses affecting 3 or more health systems were also associated with a past suicide attempt.
The past suicide attempt was not a robust predictor of future suicide completion, but bipolar disorder and depressive disorders were associated with increased risk of suicide completion. A total of 69 men died by suicide during follow up, which represents 0.3% of all deaths recorded in the sample. Bipolar and depressive disorders accounted for approximately 17% of all cases of completed suicide in the sample.
With regard to participants who completed suicide, more than 55% had illnesses affecting 5 or more health systems. "Having 5 or more health systems affected by disease over the study period increased by >11 times the risk of suicide, and the presence of this multiplicity of morbidities accounts for about ¾ of the deaths by suicide [in the current sample]," the authors wrote in their publication.
"Postponement of morbidity and frailty should become a target of effective suicide prevention programs for older men," they concluded.

The Belleville family series
Welcome to the world of the Belleville family. Currently a trilogy, this series is set to be expanded with the release of the fourth book in late 2020.
Julia's Story (first published as The House of Secrets: Julia's Story)
Book 1 in the Belleville family series
By J Mary Masters
Set against the backdrop of the Second World War, this is the heartbreaking story of a young girl in love, the secret she must never reveal and the family who betrayed her trust.
It's 1942 and the world is at war. Yet the wealthy Belleville family appear untouched and secure in their grand Australian home Prior Park. That is until daughter Julia, on the cusp of womanhood, falls desperately in love with an American Army officer against her family's wishes. For Julia, it is life-changing.
Discover more ....
A chance encounter. A secret from the grave. A brutal act of revenge. Ten years on and heartbreak threatens to tear the Belleville family apart as their deepest secrets are tragically exposed.
Hundreds of miles from Prior Park, the grand home of the wealthy Belleville family, a tragic accident robs a young girl of her parents. As yet, this means nothing to the family, and especially not to Julia, the only daughter. Yet in New York, her long lost love Dr Philippe Duval receives an unexpected letter from his past which he cannot ignore.
Julia's brother Richard laments he can no longer hold on to his aristocratic wife Catherine Cavendish who longs to return to her life in England. Unexpected events in her family provide the perfect excuse for her to return home.
A final act of vengeance. An illicit liaison. A passionate affair. In this third instalment of the Belleville family story, loyalties will be tested and new secrets concealed as the family begin to rebuild their shattered lives. But in the end, it is Prior Park that draws them back as the next generation of the family begins to emerge.
In this third book in the series, the Belleville family begin to rebuild their shattered lives. Wrongly believing they are safe from the madman Alistair McGovern, he escapes from custody to attempt one final act of vengeance. In the aftermath of this final desperate act, each of them must come to terms with the events of the past.
Her marriage in tatters, Julia Belleville begins to question whether she can rebuild her relationship with her first love.


This Sacré Coeur Cross Pendant is a gorgeous and reverent representation of the heart of Christ. The solid bronze cross with a holy image of the Divine heart calls to mind Christ's love and constant presence in our lives.
Our bronze pendant, one inch in height, with red enamel inlay, makes a perfect gift for all ages and occasions. It's ideal for a birthday, graduation, baptism, first communion or confirmation. What a beautiful representation of the heart of Christ.
The Sacré Coeur Cross Pendant was designed, cast and handworked in an artisan's workshop in France and makes an eloquent gift for yourself, or for someone in your life who would appreciate its craftmanship and beauty.
This pendant is an heirloom piece that will last for generations.
The sacred heart of Jesus represents the love and compassion of the heart of Christ toward humanity and is often regarded as an object of devotion among Roman Catholics.
Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque said the Sacred Heart devotion was revealed to her by Jesus in a series of mystical apparitions between 1673 and 1675. This devotion has been officially celebrated in the Roman Catholic Church since 1856 on a Friday nineteen days after Pentecost Sunday.


I'm uploading all future sprites I rip to The Spriter's Resource. Not really getting enough traffic or submissions to warrant putting anymore time into this site. Also the single image approach vs sheets doesn't really seem to be popular. Oh well.
Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been busy with RealLife(tm) and GirlFriend(tm). I added some Xargon sprites since someone pointed out that the source code had been released and it was fairly trivial to extract the game graphics.
I'd really like it if more people would submit sprites. The site is only going to grow so much if I continue to do it mostly by myself.
Thanks to some clever guys I am able to finally extract the sprites from Heroes of Might and Magic II. Check out the Free Heroes 2 Engine project.
If you haven't noticed, the Tag Search has been replaced with just a Search section. Now you can look for sprites by their file name too. You can still browse by tag.
Also I spent several hours this weekend grabbing sprites from Shining in the Darkness; the younger brother to the Shining Force series.

Strategies to circumvent the expiry of a patent
The pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca, manufacturer and marketer of the drug Crestor® (Rosuvastatin calcium), which diminishes cholesterol in blood plasma, is trying to prolong the patent protection of this drug a further seven years via a strategy designed to achieve "use approval" in a "rare disease" known as homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia . AstraZeneca back up their request with the Orphan Drug Act, a law drafted and adopted more than three decades ago to encourage the development of treatments for diseases with a low prevalence. This stratagem could increase the laboratory's income by several billion dollars.
Rosuvastatin calcium (Crestor®) is a cholesterol-lowering statin which technically belongs to the so-called "hidroximetilglutaril-Coenzyme-A reductase enzyme inhibitors." It is one of the most frequently prescribed drugs in its group (statins). According to IMS Health, it is the second most prescribed drug in the United States atfer levothyroxine sodium, an elective treatment for hypothyroidism.
Crestor® lost its patent protection on 8 July, 2016, opening the doors to the emergence of generic versions of the drug.
Crestor® has been a real blockbuster for AstraZeneca. Of the 23.6 billion-dollar profit of this British multi-national in 2013, 5 billion came from the sales of Crestor®. The importance of the US pharmaceutical market is evident when you consider that 2.8 billion of these sales corresponded to the United States alone, where the monthly cost of treatment with this statin is $260 (information GoodRx.com).
This application for a prolongation of the drug's patent protection caused controversy which began in May, 2016 when AstraZeneca gained approval for the treatment of patients with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. The Food and Drug Administration approved an extension of the patent for seven more years, exclusively for this use.
We should bear in mind that the information about this use of Rosuvastatin calcium in homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia may not appear on the prospectus of generic versions for at least the next seven years. Generic Rosuvastatin calcium may include all other uses of Crestor®.
The dose required for the treatment of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia is different from that required for the rest of the approved indications.
AstraZeneca has argued that if generic versions of Rosuvastatin calcium are authorized, prescription errors seriously affecting the safety of the drug may occur.
Michele Meixell, an AstraZeneca spokeswoman, said the drug company pursued this new use of Crestor®as "part of our standard practice to address unmet needs".
Spectrum Pharmaceuticals lost a lawsuit in May 2016 when they tried to prevent the marketing of generic versions of the drug Fusilev® (calcium Levofolinate).
Otsuka Pharmaceutical recently tried to protect their antipsychotic drug Aripiprazole (Abilify®) in the same way against the marketing of generic versions. The FDA approved generic versions of Aripiprazole in April, 2016, although Otsuka Pharmaceutical appealed against the decision.
Perhaps the most famous case of these attempts to prolong patent protection was when Bristol Myers Squibb tried for three years to extend the patent for Glucophage (Metformin), the most frequently prescribed drug as a first-line treatment of type 2 diabetes (adult onset diabetes). Regarding the Orphan Drug Act, in the court order it was established that "[the] extension of exclusivity via loopholes in the law should never be allowed to harm those who consume pharmaceutical products".
AstraZeneca has been studying the use of Crestor® in the paediatric population for some years. However, in 2014, they initiated a clinical trial on children aged between 6 and 17 who had been diagnosed with homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.
In the United States the number of children affected by this condition ranges from 300 to 1,000. The disease occurs when a child inherits two mutated alleles, one from the father and one from the mother. One result is very high plasma cholesterol concentrations with its associated risks, including heart attacks, even during childhood. Many children with this condition have to undergo a process similar to dialysis several times a week to clear their arteries of excess cholesterol.
A clinical trial being conducted by AstraZeneca involves only 14 children who receive a daily dose of Rosuvastatin calcium. After 6 weeks, the group of children taking this drug (the study group) showed a reduction in LDL-cholesterol levels significantly greater than the placebo group. The result of the study was predictable, since statins are a cornerstone of the treatment of homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.
Many contend that AstraZeneca has delayed carrying out a study on this "rare disease" until now, when they could have acted earlier. The laboratory has shown an unusual interest in carrying out this clinical trial only when the patent was about to expire. Besides, the drug continues to be fully effective as a first-line of treatment.
A generic version of Crestor®, sold by Allergan, an American company which moved its headquarters to Dublin, Ireland, last May (2016), was marketed amid a dispute with AstraZeneca. However, prices of Rosuvastatin calcium will only decrease significantly when a sufficient number of generic versions appear on the market.
The extension of patent protection in order to temporarily prevent competition from generic versions was debated in the US Congress. Last year (2015), the 21st Century Cures Act was passed in order to give an extra six months of protection against competition from generic versions of those drugs that had been approved specifically for the treatment of 'rare diseases'.
Max G. Bronstein, director of EveryLife for Rare Diseases Foundation, has supported the extension of the terms of patent protection; an indirect way of stimulating the development of new drugs for rare diseases because, by doing this, the profits of pharmaceutical companies increase. However, this procedure will further increase the pharmaceutical bill, compromising the viability of private and public health systems. Let us not forget that treatment of hypercholesterolemia will almost certainly experience a great leap forward with the emergence of a new pharmacological group: the "PCSK9 enzyme inhibitors." The first two are Arilocumab and Evolocumab.

Q: How to skip the words not in the dictionary I have a file as a dictionary word:
water=45
melon=8
apple=35
pineapple=67
I=43
to=90
eat=12
tastes=100
sweet=21
it=80
watermelon=98
want=70
juice=88

and I have another file with the following text:
I want to eat banana and watermelon
I want drink juice purple and pineapple

I want to output :
43, 70, 90, 12, 98
43, 70, 88, 67

every word that does not exist in the dictionary are in skip.
This is what I have so far:
import re
f = open(r'C:\Users\dinesh_pundkar\Desktop\val.txt','r')
val_dict = {}
for line in f:
     k, v = line.strip().split('=')
     val_dict[k.strip()] = v.strip()
f.close()

h = open(r'C:\Users\dinesh_pundkar\Desktop\str_txt.txt','r')
str_list = []
for line in h:
     str_list.append(str(line).strip())

tmp_str = ''
for val in str_list:
    tmp_str = val
    for k in val_dict.keys():
            if k in val:
                replace_str = str(val_dict[k]).strip() + ","
                tmp_str= re.sub(r'\b{0}\b'.format(k),replace_str,tmp_str,flags=re.IGNORECASE)

    tmp_str = tmp_str.strip(",")
    print val, " = ", tmp_str
    tmp_str = ''

Output :
43, 70, 90, 12, banana and 98
43, 70, drink 88, purple and 67

A: You can use dict.get which allows for a default value if you don't find the key.
>>> d = {'a': 1, 'b': 2}
>>> d['c']
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
KeyError: 'c'

>>> d.get('c', 'fallback value')
'fallback value'

This will let you do something like:
nums = [dict.get(val, '') for val in str_list]
# [43, 70, 90, 12, '', '', 98]

Then remove the empty strings with filter
nums = filter(None, nums)
# with `None` as the first argument, this removes all elements that eval to False

Then map to string and join with commas
print(", ".join(map(str, nums)))

A: You can do something like this using list comprehension in order to have your desired output:
I'm assuming your dictionary file is called file1 and your second file is called file2.
data1 = [k.rstrip().split("=") for k in open("file1", 'r')]
data2 = [k.rstrip().split() for k in open("file2", 'r')]

for k in data2:
    for j in k:
        for m in data1:
            if j == m[0]:
                print(m[1], end = ' ')
    print()

Output:
43 70 90 12 98
43 70 88 67

A: First, we can parse your "dictionary file" into an actual Python dictionary using a clever dict comprehension.
In [1]: dict_file = """water=45
   ...: melon=8
   ...: apple=35
   ...: pineapple=67
   ...: I=43
   ...: to=90
   ...: eat=12
   ...: tastes=100
   ...: sweet=21
   ...: it=80
   ...: watermelon=98
   ...: want=70
   ...: juice=88"""

In [2]: conversion = {k: int(v) for line in dict_file.split('\n') for (k,v) in (line.split('='),)}

In [3]: conversion
Out[3]:
{'I': 43,
 'apple': 35,
 'eat': 12,
 'it': 80,
 'juice': 88,
 'melon': 8,
 'pineapple': 67,
 'sweet': 21,
 'tastes': 100,
 'to': 90,
 'want': 70,
 'water': 45,
 'watermelon': 98}

We then set the phrase to a variable.
In [4]: text = "I want to eat banana and watermelon"

We can use str.split to change the single string into a list of the words.
In [5]: text.split()
Out[5]: ['I', 'want', 'to', 'eat', 'banana', 'and', 'watermelon']

To check if each word is in the conversion dictionary, we can simply use the in keyword, which checks dictionary keys.
In [6]: "banana" in conversion
Out[6]: False

In [7]: "watermelon" in conversion
Out[7]: True

We can implement this in a list comprehension to filter only the words that our conversion dictionary knows how to convert to a number. We can also look for the value conversion[word], which we know exists because we already confirmed that the comprehension only looks at values which are in the conversion dict.
In [9]: [str(conversion[word]) for word in text.split() if word in conversion]
Out[9]: ['43', '70', '90', '12', '98']

Finally, we can use str.join to combine this list back into a single string. (The square brackets are removed, which makes the expression a generator comprehension, not a list comprehension, but it works either way.)
In [10]: ', '.join(str(conversion[word]) for word in text.split() if word in conversion)
Out[10]: '43, 70, 90, 12, 98'

Success! You can apply this method to any of the phrases in your file via a simple for loop to get the desired result.
There isn't much of a need for regex here; Python's string processing features are very powerful. :)

Europaön (franska, Île Europa) är ett så kallat franskt Territoire d'outre mér sedan 1897 och förvaltas direkt från Frankrike genom prefekten för de Franska sydterritorierna. Den ingår i de så kallade Iles Eparses. Madagaskar gör sedan länge anspråk på området.

Geografi
Europaön är en obebodd tropisk ö i västra Indiska Oceanen mellan Afrika och Madagaskar i södra Moçambiquekanalen. Den har en area av 28,0 km² och täcks till största delen av mangroveskog och låg vegetation. Ön saknar ankarplats så fartyg måste lägga till utanför kusten. Den har dock ett litet flygfält.

Historia
Ön besöktes 1744 av det brittiska fartyget Europa och namngavs efter detta. Den införlivades 28 februari 1897 i kolonin Franska Madagaskar. Efter Madagaskars självständighet 1960 förvaltades Europaön från Réunion och sedan 2005 förvaltas den genom Franska sydterritorierna.

The hour was getting late, my work was piling up, my stash of healthy food had disappeared, and my co-worker walked by with a package of peanut butter M&M's. She made a comment about needing a chocolate fix. I smiled and went back to my assignment.
I wasn't hungry. I didn't need chocolate or to go over my SmartPoints®. I told myself — you're not tempted.
For the next hour I thought about how much I liked that particular candy. I thought about how I was tired and could use a sugar rush. I thought about how I'd be better on the program tomorrow (I'm really working on not doing that rationalizing anymore). And before I knew it, I took out a dollar, trekked up the stairs to the break room, and was standing in front of the candy machine.
The pickings were slim. My friend had taken the last package of the peanut butter M&M's. I decided to take it as a sign that I didn't need the junk food, and I went back to my desk.
A little while later I stood back up. The machine had regular M&M's. I liked those too. I walked 10 feet in the direction of the stairs and turned around. I didn't need the candy.
Yet, 10 minutes later, I found myself back in front of the machine.
Where is your willpower? I asked myself.
The tiniest thing had set me off on a quest for candy. Candy that I hadn't even been craving a few hours earlier! Candy that would put me over my SmartPoints and very well send me spiraling!
I reached for my dollar and paused as I went to feed it to the machine. This wasn't even the candy I really wanted. Yet, I felt drawn to it anyway.
It was just one item.
But I knew the truth, when I get like this — one turns to two, which turns to three and so on.
It would make me momentarily happy, but I'd be kicking myself right after it was gone.
Was this really how I wanted to spend my SmartPoints?
I went back to my seat, and I stayed there. I didn't get the candy. I logged onto Connect, looked at everyone's stories, and told myself I could do it.
I beat the candy machine that day. Other days, it's beaten me. But I'm hoping for more wins — and I'm taking it one day at a time. The Weight Watchers program, its community and resources, really do make a difference. And I'm counting on all of them to help me in my eating battles and win the war.
You can find me on Connect at Shani! – I'd love to hear from you!
