If You Need Some Advice On Parenting Then Follow These Tips | Oh You Kids!
You will be rewarded if you put enough efforts into bringing up a child. In the following article, you are going to be given tips on what you can do to make raising a child simpler, while having fun at the same time.
Children always want just one more thing, but as a parent you need to learn how to say no to them. It is okay to treat your child occasionally. The key is to make sure that it is always on your terms. A hard habit to break is a child thinking that they can tell you what to do.
TIP! Take a break once in a while. Call a trusted sitter or family member to take care of the children while you take care of yourself for a little while.
Being open and honest with your children on the topic of bullying is the most effective way to help them handle their own bullying issues. Inform yourself of the local policies, so your child will know what to do if he needs help.
Friends that your child associates with may bring some bad habits, such as inappropriate language, into their social time. It is important that he is made aware as soon as possible that the words are not appropriate and that they should not be used as part of the family boundaries. It is better to correct your child when you have time alone, so he is not put on the spot or embarrassed in public.
TIP! When your toddler reaches 3 feet tall or can climb out of his or her crib, it is probably time to make the change to a toddler bed. Although this can be a scary change, make it fun and exciting for your children by letting them personalize their sleep space.
Parents with teenagers trying to decide on what college to attend, should not pressure them to choose the college parents want them to go to. Do not pressure your teen into doing something, or he or she might turn to the complete opposite.
It is a good thing for your child to get involved with after-school programs, such as sports. These social activities will help your child to make new friends and better socialize in general; two skills that will be used throughout his or her life. Also, keeping busy with these activities keeps them away from engaging in negative ones.
You should give your children a set of rules to follow. Make sure they know the penalties for disregarding the rules, as well. When you require your children to follow your rules, they will know you love them and care how they grow and develop. Having rules makes it easier on both parents.
A 529 plan is a great investment. A 529 Plan is a state-owned savings accounts designed specifically for college savings. There are tax benefits involved in opening a 529, as well.
When disciplining your child, you will want to avoid words that could be considered belittling. In addition, these unkind words will have absolutely no effect on modifying your child's behavior. Instead, use more encouraging language to help him change to better behavior.
TIP! Your child should witness you enjoying a variety of healthy fruits, veggies and whole grains. This will help them choose healthier snacks instead of chips.
Becoming a stepparent and creating a good bond often takes time and effort over a long period of time. It is not uncommon to resent their parents' separation. If you take it slow, let them warm up to you over time and don't rush anything, they will eventually learn to get along with you.
The information that was presented to you gives you some good child-rearing advice that will change your opinion of it from something that you dread to something you enjoy. It is always a good idea to learn from someone else's experience to help you with your own. Have fun trying out these tips.

Utah > Bear Lake
Large and deep lake on the Utah-Idaho border, filled with turquoise-blue water and surrounded by barren hills. Popular for various kinds of recreation, especially primitive camping on the less-developed east side
Nearest city with hotels:
Montpelier, 15 miles
Utah and Idaho State Parks, BLM, and some private areas
42.000, -111.324
Spring, summer, fall - winters are cold and snowy
The third largest lake in Utah (after the Great Salt Lake and Utah Lake) is found in the far northeast corner of the state - the 110 square mile, oval-shaped Bear Lake, stretching for 19 miles at the foot of the northern Wasatch Range, and draining northwards via a tributary of the Bear River. The lake spans the Utah-Idaho border, with half its area in each state, and is circled by paved roads that give easy access to much of the shoreline. The most unusual feature is the turquoise-blue color of the water, caused by suspended limestone particles eroded from the surrounding mountains; apart from this the scenery is pleasant though not so spectacular, as the lake is enclosed by low, uniform, grey hills, wooded near the summits and grassy below, and the shore is sandy or muddy without any cliffs or exposed rocks.
Bear Lake is a popular recreation center, for swimming, boating, fishing and camping, and the less-traveled east side in particular has many good access points leading to quiet campgrounds and day use areas. Some sections of the shore are part of Bear Lake State Park (actually two identically named parks, one in Utah, one in Idaho) and so charge a fee for entry, while other parts are free. The surroundings are generally quiet and agricultural (raspberries being the main crop) yet quite a lot of construction has occurred in recent years, especially along the lake's west shore, where many holiday homes have been built, and several resorts.
Storm clouds over North Beach - Bear Lake State Park, in Idaho
Bear Lake Hotels
The nearest town with hotels is Montpelier, Idaho, 15 miles from the north shore of the lake.
West Shoreline
The west side of Bear Lake is bordered by US 89 through St Charles and Fish Haven to Garden City, then UT 30 further south to Laketown at the south edge of the lake - these four towns, although small, provide all necessary visitor services. Most of the land is developed, and houses line much of the roadside except for a few publicly-accessible areas, which include Bear Lake State Park Marina just north of Garden City, a straight stretch of UT 30 in the southwest, and Rendezvous Beach in the south, also part of the state park. The majority of the shore is wide, grassy mud flats, not as nice as the narrower east side beaches.
North and East Shoreline
Although the west side highway (US 89 and UT 30) is busier and better quality, the east side road crosses emptier land with frequent lake access, and is a more scenic drive. The route is paved all the way, and signposted from both ends; it starts in the north at St Charles, heading due east across grassy marshland, part of Bear Lake National Wildlife Refuge that extends several miles northwards. The first lake access is at North Beach, one of the two units of the Idaho state park, where $5 is paid for day use parking. The beach is wide and flat, a mixture of sand and mud, with a few picnic tables along the shore and a short road/pier leading out towards the water, beside the lake's exit channel. The road then turns south through privately-owned land for several miles, past quite a few houses, many large and elegant, enjoying elevated views over the lake to the mountains beyond. Development stops at the edge of the East Beach section of the state park, a 2 mile long enclosure with a campground, picnic areas and nicer beaches, all extending as far as the Utah border, after which are various other campgrounds and boat launch sites as the road runs along the water's edge for ten miles, over uninhabited land. Some areas are part of the Utah state park and require a fee, but other places are free to enter, though here camping is not allowed; the nearest locations for free primitive camping are along several unpaved tracks leading eastwards into the hills. All beaches hereabouts are clean, rocky or sandy, and narrow since the land slopes down steeply, unlike the wide flats along the north, west and south edges - this is because the east edge of the lake covers an active fault zone, where the land is slowly subsiding, and the water is over 200 feet deep quite close to the shore. The lakeside remains undeveloped until the south end, where houses reappear and all the land is private, apart from the state park headquarters and campground at Rendezvous Beach, though this is quite far from the water and not very scenic.

B potions of blue liquid, and G potions of green liquid.
The red liquid potions have liquid amounts given by r, ..., r[R] liters.
The green liquid potions have liquid amounts given by g, ..., g[G] liters.
The blue liquid potions have liquid amounts given by b, ..., b[B] liters.
of liquid is x, then the amount after decrement will be x / 2 where division is integer division, e.g. 3 / 2 = 1 and 4 / 2 = 2).
Because she has to go out of station to meet her uncle Churu, a wannabe wizard, only M minutes are left for her. In a single minute, she can perform at most one magic trick. Hence, she can perform at most M magic tricks.
She would like to minimize the maximum amount of liquid among all of Red, Green and Blue colored potions. Formally Let v be the maximum value of amount of liquid in any potion. We want to minimize the value of v.
Then for each test case, we have four lines.
The first line contains four space separated integers R, G, B, M. The next 3 lines will describe the amount of different color liquids (r, g, b), which are separated by space.
For each test case, print a single integer denoting the answer of the problem.
Example case 1. Magical girl can pick the blue potion and make its liquid amount half. So the potions will now have amounts 1 2 1. Maximum of these values is 2. Hence answer is 2.

College & MFA Audition Coaching
After observing auditions for the BFA programs at my alma mater, Pace School of Performing Arts, and working the Columbia University MFA Acting program auditions for two years, I've learned from the decision makers (who happen to be my own audition coaches and teachers) what culminates in a successful college/grad school audition - and what does not.
Sometimes, it's completely out of your control - like when they've already called back five three-headed monsters from the previous week's auditions and although you're a great three-headed monster, they already have five to choose from. Sometimes, it's completely within your control - like when you came in with a bad attitude because your iced caramel mocha chai tea latte was too cold.
During these auditions and my own grad school auditions over the course of 4 years at Columbia (accepted), USC (accepted), NYU Grad Acting (waitlist), USD/Old Globe (waitlist), Yale Drama (callbacks), Juilliard (callbacks), I've learned that there are really only three major secrets to success: pick the right pieces, be your best self and have fun! Easier said than done right?
During our one-hour coaching sessions, we will:
Find the right contemporary and classical audition pieces for you, that you love working on
Make those pieces work for the unique person that you are (for example, we might work on making sure the story is being told, relating the piece to you and pursuing an action)
Replace habits that don't serve you with ones that do
Rehearse entering the room and interviewing
Help you feel comfortable on-camera to nail those self-tape pre-screens
Learn how to accept nerves, trouble-shoot in the moment and stay connected
Practice taking all sorts of direction, no matter how far it may be from your original choices
Instill a mindset of curiosity and get you thinking like an actor who makes interesting choices
Contact me to find out how I can help you feel confident, comfortable and kick ass in your college, MFA, Acting and Musical Theatre auditions!
In-Person Rates:
$75/hr*
$270/pack of 4 (10% discount)
Zoom Rates:
$35/1/2 hr
*Sliding scale for
underserved communities.
No one should be prevented from pursuing their dreams because their family cannot
afford it. We will figure something out.
For those who sign up for multiple sessions, you can also expect:
Support on your audition days through text, FaceTime, etc.
Help with resumes, clothing, travel advice and any other questions you have as you complete your applications and get ready to audition
With the in depth knowledge of why one student gets a callback and another does not, I'm pumped to pass this information on to young actors gearing up for undergrad and grad school auditions!
At the cornerstone of my philosophy is what I call "safe and sustainable acting". An artist can be mentally and physically healthy and still be incredibly effective. We need not torture ourselves for art!
In our private lessons, I aim to establish technique and process, build the actor's toolbox and harness a mindset of curiosity and empathy. Whether preparing for high school, undergrad or grad school auditions in the future, or learning how to dig into a script, I teach actors to embark on a journey of exploration and to take ownership of their art.
Lessons are highly personalized to the actor's needs based on the their goals and what I observe as we work together. There is no one size fits all training module, as we are all different people with different needs.
Contact me today to see if we're a good fit!
**Sliding scale for
No one should be prevented from pursuing
their dreams because their family cannot
For example, current clients are working on:
Learning various processes for how to approach a new text (monologues, scripts, audition sides)
Understanding and personalizing Shakespeare monologues
Line learning techniques
Freeing the body from habitual movements
Overall body and voice cohesion and breath coordination
Pursuing an action and putting it on "the other"
Warm-ups to cultivate a keen sense of awareness in the body
Articulation and tongue placement
IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) for accents and dialects
Understanding style
At our first lesson, we'll have a little chat and then we'll play around with a bunch of different exercises as I get to know you and see how you work. This work we do is intended to be long-term. As impatient and results-oriented as we may be, learning happens slowly. You can't rush growth.
In-person lessons take place at my studio in Great Falls, VA and in NYC.
My training spans from Columbia University (MFA Acting, 2022) and Pace University (BFA Acting, 2012), to The Shakespeare Theatre of NJ (Apprenticeship) and The Atlantic Acting School (Evening Conservatory). At these programs and at other private studios, I've worked hands on and in-depth with techniques that cultivate emotional, physical and vocal freedom. Techniques include Alexander Technique, Meisner, Stanislavski, Feldenkrais, Michael Chekhov, Viewpoints, Laban, Linklater, Fitzmaurice, Improv and more.
I've had the honor of studying with some of the most innovative and respected acting teachers of our time, including Ron Van Lieu, Scott Zigler, Peter Jay Fernandez, Sita Mani, James Calleri, Bruce Cromer, Ellen Lauren, just to name a few.
As an actor, I have worked at Shakespeare Theatre Company, Mosaic Theatre Company, Virginia Stage Company, Toms River Shakespeare Festival, The Shakespeare Theatre of NJ, Adirondack Shakespeare Company, Punchdrunk (creators of Sleep No More), and many others. On TV, you can catch me on Investigation Discovery's A Crime To Remember and Nick Jr.'s Team UmiZoomi. Films include countless student and short films over the years in NYC. At Columbia, I've been a part of the new play development process for many full length and one act plays.
I offer Private Lessons for persons of any age and skill level who would like to learn technique, develop specifics of their physical instrument and how to think like an actor. Private Lessons are geared towards long term study and growth. They are also a great option for executives and folks who would like to cultivate a dynamic presence and improve public speaking.
I also offer Coaching Sessions and support throughout audition season for high school, undergrad and graduate school auditions.

The Skoda Octavia is arguably the vehicle that kickstarted the Skoda revolution and propelled into the modern limelight. Skoda's reputation has increased ten-fold over the last decade with the manufacturer now regarded as one of the premium automakers on the globe.
Skoda have an excellent range of vehicles that is epitomized by the Skoda Octavia perhaps more than any of their other models. The Ocatavia is now being talked about in the same breath as indutsry legends such as BMW, Mercedes and Audi – perhaps the strongest indication of the waves being made by the Czech-based manufacturer. Skoda Octavia Business Leasing is one of our most popular forms of obtaining a new car with a set of strongly competitive monthly rates.
Skoda Octavia Business Lease is worth considering for a number of reasons, one of these being it's strong set of engines. The Octavia vRS is a more sporty take on the Octavia's typically industrious skillset and will provide the most powerful statistics. In terms of performance, the 104hp 1.2-litre TSI packs a punch while still delivering impressive economy.
The Octavia is also strongly revered for it's interior practicality. Lack of space is simply not an issue with an exceptionally roomy cabin and boot. The boot in fact is one of the largest of any vehicle of it's side with a starting size of 590-litres which can increase to a whopping 1,580-litres should you fold down the rear seats.
There's also plenty of tech within and great deal of comfort to match the incredible amount of internal spacing. Skoda Octavia Business Contract Hire is well worth taking a look into and we have a team of sales advisers who will be delighted to answer any queries.

So uh hmm, let me be a man for the day.
I was sent this really special skincare for man recently and I would love to review it for you guys!
First, let me think what is the differences between a women and a men's skincare? I think that Men would prefer a really quick and easy to use product, and if possible, none. Less hassle = better. However, men recently got more and more skin concern, it is not surprising that there are tons of Men products on the shelf nowadays.
Pardon my messy hair. Men should be more messy isn't it? Hahaha.
In China cut test, look what men say about the BB Gel.
So what exactly is this thing? It acts as a moisturiser, and a quick fix for spots, marks and dullness. I know guys who does not want to apply all these things although they keep on complaining that their skin condition is so bad, just because they think that it is very time consuming to go through all these hassles.
With LOREAL BB Moisturizing Gel, worry not you will look great everyday and still can arrive on your date on time.
The packaging of the product is in masculine black and silver cap, with simple sleek fonts on it. Back of the 50ml tube states the instruction and details of the product.
Here you can see the magical liquid inside it, in gel form and some blue glittery beads inside. Fear not, you won't look like Edward Cullen under sunlight (glittering vampire?) after using it. Thanks to the Patented formula.
Personally I think that this amount is enough for whole face application. Which the whole tube will definitely last you a few months. For only RM35.90, you can get it from any major Pharmacies.
Next, notice the change of colour after the gel is applied. The clear gel immediately changes to a tanned bronze colour upon spreading. I was a little surprise and I even tried it out after washing my hand again to make sure that it is really happening.
See it? I have to tune the colour of the photo so that there will be a greater show of colour on the back of my hand. However, the gel can barely cover anything except even out the skin tone. So don't put too much hope on it. I'll suggest you guys to go and try it out before buying. However, it definitely works on dull skin. But for people who are really fair, it might be a little brown for you.
I secretly hope to use it as bronzer as it blends in so naturally with my skin.
So, What exactly happens in the gel itself?
KPT Technology stores microbeads of pigments inside the transparent blue gel. There are pigments(which is the brownish thing) and then Vitamin C + Green Tea extract inside the microbeads!
The BB Icy Gel Moisturizer will also help you to stays in your tip top condition on your day out.
It claims to fix your skin problems, such as dullness, spots, and marks so that you can look great even if you meet your crush on your way home, or you got captured in HD while walking on the street. Think of the recant P accident case, imagine you walked passed and you came home to found out that the video goes viral, with your not so perfect face in it. #Justsaying hahaha.
Also, the gel does refine your pores, control oils (Thanks to the Green Tea Extracts inside), blackheads, and more.! It basically targeted every men skin problems.
In conclusion, I think that this is definitely an innovative product with really cool technology. I love the cooling sensation of the gel on skin but I would prefer you to look for alternative if you are looking for a product with high coverage. However, it does even out dull skin and make you look less like zombie throughout a tired day. I'll give another star for the price, as one BB cream will definitely go past RM30, not to say the one with moisturising effect.
P/s: Just wondering, will the Vitamin C inside helps brighten up and reduce the scars and marks?
Even fairness creams area unit call at the markets that area unit terribly useful to create the face look a lot of fairer and brighter. to beat status and cracking of the skin, moisturizer may be a smart possibility because it hydrates the skin from inside by keeping the face wet, for more information click here m2m massage.

Ayrault at Harvard
For Boston area readers, ex-PM Jean-Marc Ayrault will be at Harvard this Wednesday. If you want to grill him about what's going on in France, this is your chance. Center for European Studies, 27 Kirkland St., Cambridge, 4:15-6 PM.
The Current State of France and Europe
A Public Address by H.E. Jean-Marc Ayrault, Prime Minister of the Republic of France (2012-2014)
Jean-Marc Ayrault H.E Prime Minister of the Republic of France (2012-2014)
Commentary by Michael Ignatieff Former leader, of the Liberal Party of Canada; Professor of Practice, Carr Center for Human Rights Policy, Harvard Kennedy School
Sponsors: The Consulate General of France in Boston; Ash Center for Deomcratic Governance and Innovation; Embassy of France; Contemporary Europe
France today is under heavy pressure from its European partners to reform its social model and reduce its long-standing budget deficit. At the same time, many French citizens doubt that France can achieve sustainable growth by following an austerity program prescribed by what is perceived to be a German-led European Union. At this event, two former political leaders will discuss the politics of reform in France where social change has traditionally come about through crisis or revolution. This event is open to the public. (Note: Jean-Marc Ayrault will speak in French accompanied by an English translator.) With the support of the Cultural Services of the French Embassy in the United States.

Jouyet Twisting Slowly in the Wind
Jean-Pierre Jouyet, after previously denying that Fillon had asked him to "strike quickly" at Sarkozy in the Bygmalion Affair (see previous post), has now admitted that this is indeed what he told reporters Fillon had said. He could hardly do otherwise, since the reporters had recorded his remarks, with his knowledge and consent. This simple fact makes his previous denial seem incredibly foolish, but of course having had this conversation with reporters in the first place was folly enough.
Jouyet is a seasoned public official, not a debutant. He is one of France's best and brightest, an alumnus of the same promotion Voltaire that gave us Hollande, Royal, Villepin, and so many other prominent political actors of the last several decades. How a man of his experience could have committed so many blunders in so short a time is baffling. But if I have to guess, Jouyet is now toast and will probably be gone by the end of the day, or at any rate the end of the week, even if he has been François Hollande's best friend ever since they were army buddies (along with Michel Sapin) back in the day.
In any case, the Elysée is now reeling. It was bad enough that Hollande's "face aux Français" exercise in rehabilitation failed dismally and only added to the mockery to which the chief executive has increasingly been subjected. Now the palace is accused, rightly or wrongly, of having engaged in an "attempted destabilization" of a leading figure of the opposition.
Fillon, of course, continues to deny that he said what Jouyet says he said, and it will be impossible to prove otherwise, since the only other person present at the now infamous lunch backs Fillon's version. The really perverse aspect of this affair is that it diverts attention from the actual enormity of the corruption in the UMP that is the real scandal here. The seriousness of the Bygmalion predations is such that the investigating authorities surely needed no prompting from anyone to pursue the case. But Sarkozy and Copé, who are at the heart of this affair, can now pose as victims of Socialist machinations.
Jean-Pierre Jouyet, whom I had always viewed as a competent bureaucrat and dedicated European, a protégé of Jacques Delors and longtime compagnon de route of François Hollande, who has served France under Jospin, Sarkozy, and now his old friend François, will very likely be forced out of government and end his career in ignominious disgrace. To be sure, he has only himself to blame. How could he have been so stupid?
And for the record, I would say that Fillon is also toast. How can UMP militants consider him as their presidential candidate now that what may have started as a convivial lunch between old friends and colleagues has been portrayed in the press as intelligence avec l'ennemi. I don't think he would have been the candidate in 2017 in any case, but Fillon's difficulties only strengthen the hand of Sarkozy, whose comeback had until the last few days seemed rather underwhelming. Now he has le vent en poupe and the perfect smoke screen with which to cover his own past errors.

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC – Tagenarine Chanderpaul completed his maiden first-class hundred, but newly-crowned champions Guyana Jaguars had to settle for a draw against Barbados Pride in the Regional 4-Day Championship yesterday here.
Chanderpaul hit an undefeated 101 and wicketkeeper/batsman Anthony Bramble slammed a pugnacious 74 to lead Jaguars to 263 for five in their second innings before they declared about 50 minutes before lunch on the final day of their ninth-round match at Kensington Oval.
The left-handed opener, son of legendary West Indies left-hander Shivnarine Chanderpaul, who is also a member of the Jaguars line-up for this match, reached his landmark from 275 balls, when he swung Jonathan Carter to deep mid-wicket for the last of his nine boundaries to prompt the declaration.
He shared 115 for the fifth wicket with Bramble, whose 78-ball innings in close to 2 ½ hours included four fours and five sixes.
Set a highly improbable victory target of 362 in a minimum of 73 overs, Pride reached 208 for four in their second innings before the two sides decided it was pointless to continue.
West Indies opener Kraigg Brathwaite hit the top score of 54 for Pride, their captain Shamarh Brooks supported with 40, Shayne Moseley made 28, Roston Chase was not out on 23 and Carter added 20.
Brathwaite shared 60 with club-mate Moseley for the first wicket and put on 76 for the second wicket with Brooks, but Keemo Paul grabbed 2-76 from 16 overs to send a few shivers down their spines.
All two of Paul's wickets were catches to stand-in keeper Vishaul Singh, who was deputising for the injured Bramble, and also held a top-edged catch down the leg-side to dismiss West Indies batsman Roston Chase off left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul.
Later on, there was such a shortage of personnel for the Jaguars that head coach Esuan Crandon, a former national fast bowler, was required to take the field.
The result meant that Jaguars gained 10.4 points from the match, taking them to 145.4, and Pride collected 5.8 points, moving them to 91.6.
Pride fast bowler Chemar Holder was named Player-of-the-Match following figures of 5-57 and 3-72 on his first-class debut.
Next round, Jaguars conclude the season against Trinidad & Tobago Red Force at the Guyana National Stadium, at the same time Pride face Jamaica Scorpions at this venue.

9 In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah, 10 and he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Maacah the daughter of Abishalom. 11 And Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as David his father had done. 12 He put away the male cult prostitutes out of the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made. 13 He also removed Maacah his mother from being queen mother because she had made an abominable image for Asherah. And Asa cut down her image and burned it at the brook Kidron. 14 But the high places were not taken away. Nevertheless, the heart of Asa was wholly true to the Lord all his days. 15 And he brought into the house of the Lord the sacred gifts of his father and his own sacred gifts, silver, and gold, and vessels.
9 Zerah the Ethiopian came out against them with an army of a million men and 300 chariots, and came as far as Mareshah. 10 And Asa went out to meet him, and they drew up their lines of battle in the Valley of Zephathah at Mareshah. 11 And Asa cried to the Lord his God, "O Lord, there is none like you to help, between the mighty and the weak. Help us, O Lord our God, for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this multitude. O Lord, you are our God; let not man prevail against you." 12 So the Lord defeated the Ethiopians before Asa and before Judah, and the Ethiopians fled. 13 Asa and the people who were with him pursued them as far as Gerar, and the Ethiopians fell until none remained alive, for they were broken before the Lord and his army. The men of Judah carried away very much spoil. 14 And they attacked all the cities around Gerar, for the fear of the Lord was upon them. They plundered all the cities, for there was much plunder in them. 15 And they struck down the tents of those who had livestock and carried away sheep in abundance and camels. Then they returned to Jerusalem.
9And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah.10And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.11And Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, as did David his father.12And he took away the sodomites out of the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.13And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt it by the brook Kidron.14But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the LORD all his days.15And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the house of the LORD, silver, and gold, and vessels.
9And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and came unto Mareshah.10Then Asa went out against him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.11And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said, LORD, it is nothing with thee to help, whether with many, or with them that have no power: help us, O LORD our God; for we rest on thee, and in thy name we go against this multitude. O LORD, thou art our God; let not man prevail against thee.12So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.13And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar: and the Ethiopians were overthrown, that they could not recover themselves; for they were destroyed before the LORD, and before his host; and they carried away very much spoil.14And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for the fear of the LORD came upon them: and they spoiled all the cities; for there was exceeding much spoil in them.15They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep and camels in abundance, and returned to Jerusalem.
25And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years.26And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.27And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon.28Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead.29And it came to pass, when he reigned, that he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according unto the saying of the LORD, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:30Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israel sin, by his provocation wherewith he provoked the LORD God of Israel to anger.31Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?32And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.33In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years.34And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin wherewith he made Israel to sin.
25And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;26Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.27And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.28And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.29And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;30When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.31So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.32Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.33Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
32But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.33Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.34For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.35Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:36Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.37And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
What can we learn from Asa's prayer when the Ethiopians came up against him?
Why was the whole house of jeroboam destroyed?
Why did Jesus tell people to watch and stay awake?
How can you watch for the coming of the Lord and keep from falling asleep?
Pray that God would deliver someone you know who is facing incredible challenges.

The tombs found in the Valley of the Kings (which belong to the UNESCO World Heritage) have only in part been documented and published. In addition, large areas of the valley have remained unexplored – a fact that is of concern, due to the impact of natural and human influences currently present. In the face of these factors, our objective has become to secure the valuable information these tombs have to offer and to make it available to future researchers and to the public at large. The University of Basel Kings' Valley Project has especially dedicated itself to the preservation and documentation of these endangered historical tomb structures and has initiated a site management programme to ensure the protection of the tombs and their surroundings. Data will be migrated to the DaSCH.

Maitri Health Technologies adds masks and face shields to global healthcare supply platform
On-shore manufactured personal protective equipment offers quality, reliability
November 23, 2020	by CM Staff
Maitri 3D Mask (Maitri Health Technologies Corp.)
VANCOUVER, BC — Maitri Health Technologies Corp., a global platform for healthcare supply security, announced more details about the core components of its personal protective equipment (PPE) strategy and product platform.
The 3D face mask and Win-Shield face shields are the foundation of Maitri's comprehensive suite of on-shore manufactured PPE. The 3D family of masks offer a selection of certified surgical masks and the innovative Win-Shield face shield features a patent-pending design and additional personal protection.
"We know many governments, hospitals, school boards and businesses have struggled to find a domestic alternative to the substandard quality, unpredictable delivery and inflated costs of PPE sourced outside of North America," said Andrew Morton, CEO, in a prepared statement.
"Maitri's business strategy specifically addresses those barriers," said Morton. "Our network of on-shore manufacturing provides an innovative, reliable and quality supply of equipment, including masks and face shields. By sourcing domestically, we have more control over production and delivery to ensure our clients get what they need, when they need it."
3D masks offer an updated design of the traditional surgical mask, created with comfort and feel for healthcare professionals or those seeking stronger protection. Maitri masks provide three layers of protection for proper filtration and are certified in three options: ASTM Level 1, 2 or 3. Masks are made in Canada with machines made in Canada. This end-to-end approach enables delivery of quality products in a highly scalable production model to meet high-volume needs.
The patent-pending Win-Shield face shield was designed by Canadian medical and dental professionals. Unlike similar devices in the marketplace, the Win-Shield has an extended plastic guard that covers more of a person's face and top of the head, to help further reduce the risk of exposure.
The global PPE market size is expected to reach more than US$123 billion by 2027, according to a Grand View Research study in October, 2020.

The 7 Most Underrated Anime With Beautiful Art Styles
High Quality Anime Girls
Anime has become a very broad genre of art and animation. With so many series and movies releasing each season nowadays it is becoming harder and harder to add the same amount of effort and quality into all of them. So you might have overlooked some of the most beautiful of them out there. Beautiful is of course a subjective term, but most would agree that it includes appealing character designs, smooth animation and detailed backgrounds. In this post we focus on lesser known Anime series and movies with all of these aspects, and hey, you might find a series or two you will have to check out afterwards!
Princess Tutu (2003)
Starting out with one of my personal favorite anime, 'Princess Tutu' is a classic fairy tale with ballet as a central focus. The animation and choreography in the dancing scenes are just amazing and smooth. The art style is very cute and expressive and though it may look like an anime for children, it deals with at times very heavy topics of belonging and destiny. Give this one a watch for sure!
Ef : A Tale of Memories / Melodies (2007)
From studio Shaft we have 'Ef : A Tale of Memories' and the sequel 'Ef : A Tale of Melodies'. A heavy anime centered around relationships, romance and drama with stunning visuals, which is very typical of studio Shaft – who has delivered such anime as 'Bakemonogatari', 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' and '3-gatsu no Lion'. The soundtrack sets the tone for this anime especially well with a strong focus on violins and very unique pieces suiting the often tense and dramatic situations. Beware of feels if you decide to give this one a watch.
Mononoke (2007)
This stunning anime was made by the legendary studio 'Toei Animation' and has a very unique art style compared to most anime we see. Inspired by old Japanese art mixed with monochromatic colors and shading, this anime has a very surreal look and feel to it, that matches the occult elements of the show. The animation is smooth and at times really impressive and complex. It's an adult anime with horror themes and dark subjects set in the old ages of Japan. So if you want to see the trials of this "medicine Salesman" facing the occult troubles of the people on his way, you should definitely check this one out.
Based on the manga of the father of Anime, Osamu Tezuka, creator of such iconic characters as AstroBoy, and made by studio Madhouse (One Punch Man, Paprika, Death Parade) this movie is a true masterpiece in animation. The touching story of a robot and a boy facing the harsh reality of this Metropolis is only enhanced by the stunning animation and highly detailed art. I can't recommend this movie enough. The amount of Sakuga moments (highly detailed and intricate animation sequences) in this movie is jaw dropping, so if you are at all interested in art and animation, this is a must to watch.
Flip Flappers (2016)
One of the newer anime on this list, this is also a show filled with beautiful Sakuga moments and a very light and fast paced animation style mostly responsible by Oshiyama Kiyotaka, who has worked on key animation for shows like 'Devilman: Crybaby', 'Evangelion 2.0' and 'Karigurashi no Arrietty'. Flip Flappers has many fairy tale and magical girl aspects to it's adventure comedy setting and it has a very cute aesthetic and adorable transformation sequences!
Satsuriku no Tenshi (2018)
When you think about this anime being adapted from a video game, you might not think it's very great in the visual department, taken most of video game adaptations are there to promote the game rather than telling the full story from the game, but not this one. The art and animation is really pretty and you get drawn into the story of the tragic protagonists very easily. Being the newest anime on this list, you might have seen it around, but if you haven't touched it, thinking it was just another video game anime, I advise to give this a chance.
Aku no Hana (2013)
A very controversial pick when the topic is "beautiful". The anime uses and animation technique called "rotoscoping" where the animators draw off filmed footage of real actors. When the series was released there was a huge uproar from people hating this style, and I think it very much comes down to taste. I personally think it suits the very real themes of humanity in this anime and make the uncomfortable situations the protagonists go through even more real. The animation is very smooth to add to the realism effect. Another series utilizing this animation style is 'Kowabon' from 2015, which is a horror anime. Again this style works to make the horrible situations seem very real.

Jesus, do not leave me alone in suffering.
You know, Lord, how weak I am.
If You leave me alone and I fall?
So I cannot get along by myself.
Often in spite of what I feel.
Only give me strength to bear them.
In every event and circumstances.


This Winter 2015/2016 newsletter covers the work accomplished from late November through March of 2016.
Work in the hangar is restricted in the winter due to cold weather, other than organizing all the parts and equipment transferred from Mathis Field in November of 2014. Setting up shelving and performing rust prevention have been the major activities this winter.
The RANS S6 has been permanently moved from Air Acres in Woodstock, Georgia, to its own hangar at the Jackson County Airport near Jefferson, Georgia. Flying of the airplane in the winter hasn't happened, with completion of the remaining 12 of the 40 hours of Phase One to be done in the Spring. The move was precipitated by one of the partners terminating his lease on the hangar and shop, and the buildings and land being put up for sale.
With the new FAA drone regulations, the model has been moved back to the house from the Jefferson Airport. Tests here will be done locally, away from airports.
With the new model basically mechanically completed, the work has shifted to implementing all the electronics and wiring required. Making a VTOL model is much more complicated than a conventional flying model. The new model will have 12 servos, six engines, and two separate flight control computers controlling movement in VTOL and conventional flight. The wiring requires 36 separate wires to run and connect up in order for the aircraft to have autopilot capability in conventional flight and autonomous hovering capability in VTOL flight.
Much work has been done evaluating and designing the 13" diameter VTOL rotor for the vertical takeoff capability. Right now the prototype aircraft has gained a lot of unnecessary but expected weight, and weighs around 15 pounds. To get this to VTOL will require an electrical motor spinning the rotor at about 12,000 rpm, and producing around 3 KW( 4 hp). Several prototype props and motors are currently undergoing spin and thrust testing to come up with the best combination.
The first test runs of AutoCAD-generated parts produced by laser cutting have been completed and have been a great success. The first parts were the plywood engine mounts for the four wingtip ducted fans, which use the same small electric motors. The holes for the engine mounts were perfectly placed for drop-in attachment of the motors.
Work is in progress to generate multiple blade ducted fan turbines using the same procedures. Once completed, these will substitute for the standard design props used as fan blades in the five ducted fans in Model 2016.
The photo on the left shows the status of Model 2016 in late January, obviously in partial basic assembly, but with a lot of work to do to finish it up. All six of the electric motors have been commissioned. The 4" diameter ducted fan pods at the wingtips typically operate with a redline at about 12,000 rpm, but were then tested to failure. Prop failure occurred at approximately 26,000 rpm. The tractor propeller mounted above and to the rear of the central ducted fan has been tested to 14,600 rpm, with failure expected at about 19,000 rpm. Destructive maximum RPM testing for this 10" prop and the 13" prop used in the VTOL central ducted fan are not planned with the 13" proprotor limited to around 12,000 rpm.
The wingspan of the model is 8'-4", with an all up weight of about 15 lbs. Weight reduction is in progress.
The work on Model 2016 has uncovered the need for multiple control capabilities which can enable autonomous operation for the full-sized Jefferson Jyrodyne. This includes conventional autopilot operations used routinely on our Piper TurboDakota, such as heading and altitude hold, vertical speed hold, and glide slope intercept, such as is found on almost all conventional IFR-rated aircraft.
These requirements suggest that electronics which can update 500 times a second will provide better capabilities than human operation with around 1 per second updates. This is not truly an autopilot operation though, since the pilot will not be fighting the controls as during autopilot excursions, but will be guiding the control direction while the VTOL autopilot enhances the stability and smoothness of the movements.
The electronics developed to perform the conventional fly-by-wire have been around for about 40 years, starting with the old F-16. The VTOL electronics however, come from the drone quadcopter technology, and can be directly scaled up from equipment used on radio-controlled aircraft models. Model 2016 uses the latest designs in quadcopter electronics and conventional gyro electronics.
Finally, the long distance control runs required from the cockpit to the rudders, elevator, ailerons, canard and flaps suggest that weight reduction and control response will be better with fly-by-wire capability rather than conventional controls.
A mechanical backup system in case of electrical failure will be included, but the details of this will remain confidential at this time.
The original patents issued in 2005, after nearly 5 years working with patent examiners to get them. All the improvements developed over the past 10 years are being captured in new patent applications currently being worked on. It is expected that the first of these will be filed later this year.

BP Workers Imperiled. Imagine That.
May 30, 2010 May 29, 2010 ~ susie
I really could back a law that carried the death penalty for environmental damage – because nothing else seems to work:
WASHINGTON — Federal regulators complained in an internal memo about "significant deficiencies" in BP's handling of the safety of oil-spill workers and asked the Coast Guard to help pressure the company to address a litany of concerns.
The memo, written by a Labor Department official last week, reveals the Obama administration's growing concerns about potential health and safety problems posed by the oil spill.
BP said it has deployed about 22,000 workers to combat the spill.
David Michaels, assistant secretary of labor for occupational safety and health who wrote the memo, raised the concerns Tuesday, the day before seven oil-spill workers on boats off the coast of Louisiana were hospitalized after experiencing nausea, dizziness and headaches.
In his memo to Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, Michaels said his agency has witnessed numerous problems at several work sites.
"The organizational systems that BP currently has in place, particularly those related to worker safety and health training, protective equipment, and site monitoring, are not adequate for the current situation or the projected increase in cleanup operations," Michaels wrote.
He added that BP "has also not been forthcoming with basic, but critical, safety and health information on injuries and exposures."

Corporations are not human and cannot suffer.
BP will die because of this, then be reincarnated as some other company, rebranded.
Transocean was the company, under a different name, that was responsible for the big spill in Mexico. Check it out:

B.P. has no regard for the health of humans, just so much fodder. And Thad Allen just seems to be useless when it comes to B.P. He must be trying to line up his post-retirement employment, sad to say.

A triplex, dubbed 'Emperor's Home', and four flats at The Arch near Kowloon MTR station on offer for US$128 million
By Sandy Li / SCMP | January 19, 2022 6:08 PM SGT

SINGAPORE (EDGEPROP) - The recent trend of luxury home prices setting one record after another is tempting some owners to cash in while the going is good.
A basket of five properties at The Arch near Kowloon MTR station, with an indicative price of HK$1 billion (US$128.34 million or $173.14 million), is the latest to go on the market.
A triplex unit, dubbed the "Emperor's Home" because of its ostentatious decor, and four flats at the 16-year-old residential tower, are on offer for sale by tender, according to Midland Realty, the sole agent.
The triplex, spread over the 80th to 82nd floors, has an area of 4,263 sq ft and comes with a 1,278 sq ft sky garden, private pool and a 90 sq ft terrace.
The other four units are flats B and C on the 80th floor and flats C and D on the 79th floor, with sizes ranging from 972 sq ft to 1,023 sq ft, according to the tender, which closes on January 28.
The five properties have a combined area of 8,253 sq ft and come with six car parking spaces.
The owners, Hui Chi-ming, the former chairman of Sino Union Petroleum & Chemical International, and related parties, bought the five properties at The Arch, built by Sun Hung Kai Properties, for a total HK$270 million between 2007 and 2011.
"The indicative price takes into reference recent transactions of super deluxe homes and the rare supply of mega-sized flats," said Ada Yeung, a sales director of Midland Realty.
The triplex, spread across the 80th to 82nd floors at The Arch, is one of the five properties on offer for sale by tender. The indicative price for the five properties is HK$1 billion. Photo: Handout
The asking price translates to HK$121,168 per square foot.
In 2019, three connected flats with a total of 4,566 sq ft at Sky Tower in the same development sold for HK$500 million, or HK$110,000 per sq ft, Yeung said.
She added that as the five properties are holdings of offshore companies, the buyer can acquire them via share transfer and save on stamp duty.
"As the buyer is seen as buying shares, not property, stamp duty does not have to be paid," Yeung said.
Buyers of second homes are required to pay a double stamp duty of 15 per cent of the property price.

Hong Kong's super-deluxe homes sold for record prices twice last year.
In November, Lau Chauin, the daughter of Lau Chi-keung, the chairman of Heungkong Group, which has interests ranging from logistics and finance to health care and property development on the mainland, bought flats 16C and 16D at Mount Nicholson on The Peak for a combined HK$1.2 billion.
Flat 16D, measuring 4,544 sq ft and three car parking spaces in the project developed by Wharf Holdings and Nan Fung Development, was sold for HK$639.8 million, or HK$140,800 per square foot, making it Asia's most expensive flat on a per square foot basis.
It broke the record held by a flat in CK Asset Holdings' 21 Borrett Road luxury residential project in Mid-Levels. That flat, which also came with three parking spaces, sold for HK$459.4 million, or HK$136,000 per square foot, last February.
Last week, a 3,641 sq ft flat at 8 Deep Water Bay Road development sold for HK$393 million, or HK$106,787 per sq ft, setting a record for the project, an agent said.
"We have clients looking for mega-size flats for entertaining guests, and also to provide accommodation for their staff, such as bodyguards," said Midland's Yeung.

The IPC decision on the membership status of the Russian Paralympic Committee
Speech by IPC Athletes' Council Chairperson Todd Nicholson
Official logo of the International Paralympic Committee © •
The IPC suspends the Russian Paralympic Committee with immediate effect
Good afternoon everyone,
After what Sir Philip has said there, I just wanted to give you an athlete viewpoint as Chairperson of the IPC Athletes' Council.
The IPC Athletes' Council is the collective voice of Para athletes within the IPC and greater Paralympic Movement, so we effectively act as a sounding board between the views of the athletes and the IPC.
In recent weeks, from speaking to athletes, responding to their emails and seeing their posts on social media, the topic of Russian doping has dominated their thoughts whilst they prepare for next month's Paralympic Games.
Although there are a few differing views, there is one subject that all athletes are united on.
Without doubt, all athletes are in agreement that when they compete for a Paralympic medal, they should do so by taking to a level playing field. They do not want to line-up and have to question whether their main rival is a doper or not.
Fair competition and a level playing field can only be achieved if everyone complies and abides by the rules. The evidence that has been pulled together shows that within the current doping system in Russian sport, the Russian Paralympic Committee is unable to comply and abide by the rules when it comes to the IPC Anti-Doping Code and the World Anti-Doping Code.
At the IPC Athletes' Council we are committed to protecting clean athletes, their health and their well-being. Sadly, the State-sponsored doping system that is currently in place in Russia is emphatically failing them, putting everything at risk.
The facts we have horrify me. Athletes appear to be pawns in a broken and corrupt system designed to show global prowess. Because of the Russian government's desire to seek an unfair competitive advantage, their athletes will now miss out on the opportunity to compete on the biggest stage of all.
As a five-time Paralympian in ice sledge hockey, I can only imagine the disappointment Russian athletes must feel at this decision. However, it is a decision that has had to be taken in the best interests of ensuring a fair and level playing field for all.
At the same time as feeling great sympathy towards Russian athletes, we must not forget the feelings of those athletes from other nations who competed at the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games.
Now that is has been revealed that the sample swamping regime in the Sochi Laboratory also took place at the Paralympic Winter Games, some athletes may be questioning whether results from Sochi 2014 will change.
My message to them is please be patient. As you can imagine, the IPC has had a lot to deal with in recent weeks and the Rio Paralympics are just 31 days away. The IPC is planning to send every Russian sample from Sochi for further forensic examination. At the same time, they are consulting the IPC Anti-Doping Committee and WADA regarding what measures can be taken to address the athletes associated with these samples, including results management. These are unprecedented circumstances for sport.
Finally, Paralympic sport has always been about the true spirit of sport and fair play for all. It has never been about circumnavigating the rules at all costs and it never should be. You really do need to think about the whole team, if you ever decide to play outside the rules.

ca. 1530 Elizabeth of York by ? (National Portrait Gallery, London)
Elizabeth of York was the wife of King Henry VII and mother of infamous Henry VIII. She died in 1503 making this likely a posthumous portrait.
She is holding a white rose, a politically charged gesture after the "War of the Roses" between the Tudors (who won) and the Plantagenets. She was Elizabeth of York, a Plantagenet, who married one of the victorious Lancastrian Tudor generals who became King Henry VII. Time to bury the hatchet, and not in one another's heads. Religion would provide plenty of scope for conflict during her son's reign and the reigns of her grandchildren.
Her Wikipedia article is here.
Elizabeth of York is portrayed wearing a gabled English hood (see the next image for a decription of how an English hood was made).
Keywords: Tudor family, Henry VII, Queen, Henry VIII, English, English hood, pendant, cuffs, rings


The ideas that children have about science concepts have for the past decade been the subject of a wealth of international research. But while the area has been strong in data, it has suffered from a lack of theory.
"Children's Informal Ideas in Science" addresses the question of whether children's ideas about science can be explained in a single theoretical framework. Twelve different approaches combine to tackle this central issue, each taking a deliberately critical standpoint. Participating in the debate without claiming to resolve it, the contributors address such themes as values in research, the social construction of knowledge and the work of Piaget. The editors conclude with a discussion of how a theory can be built up, along with suggestions for ways ahead in the research.
Contributors: Paul Black, Joan Bliss, Guy Claxton, Wynne Harlen, Arthur Lucas, Jon Ogborn, Jayashree Ramadas, Terry Russell, Neil Ryder, Michael Shayer, and Joan Solomon.

Dabel Brothers Publishing to Adapt the Cult Classic Film, The Warriors! Plus, Read the First Chapter from Matthew Hughes' upcoming book, "Hespira"…
"All right now, for all you boppers out there in the big city, all you street people with an ear for the action, I've been asked to relay a request from the Gramercy Riffs. It's a special for the Warriors, that real live bunch from Coney, and I do mean the Warriors. Here's a hit with them in mind."
ATLANTA, GA – July 21, 2008: Dabel Brothers Publishing is pleased to announce the comic book adaptation of the cult movie classic, The Warriors. The Dabels will start with an adaptation of the movie and move onto doing spin-off stories based on the movie. This will be the Dabel Brothers first movie-to-comic book adaptation.
"Even though I love everything we've done up until now, I never been this excited about us picking up a license. The Warriors is simply my favorite movie from the 70's," says Dabel Brothers Special Projects Manager, Derek Ruiz. "Seriously, who can forget the death of Cyrus or Sully banging those bottles together and asking The Warriors to come out and play. That stuff is just classic."
For those unfamiliar with the movie, it's about a gang called The Warriors, who are framed for killing a rival gang leader who had been trying to unite all the gangs in the area. With other gangs gunning for them they must get back to their home turf of Coney Island…alive.
The movie came out in 1979 from Paramount Pictures. The 30th Anniversary is coming up in January 2009 and is timed perfectly with the release date for issue #1 of the comic book adaptation.
Dabel Brother's Business Director Rich Young added, "The Warriors is such a great movie...it's amazing how well it has held up over time. We're excited to be working with Paramount on this and we're excited about the fact that this is our first movie-based license. This property has its origins in Sol Yurick's novel, which is what we're known for (working with literary authors), so we think it's really a perfect fit for Dabel Brothers. I know we're going to do some things that people are really doing to dig with this."
Commenting on the deal, Michael Corcoran, president, Paramount Consumer Products & Recreation Group, said, "Paramount Licensing has an incredibly rich and diverse library of properties dating back almost a century, and we are delighted to be working with companies such as Dabel Brothers Publishing, who find fresh new ways to develop products based on these classic films that will appeal to both existing fans and a whole new audience."

Review – "Ready Player One" by Ernest Cline
By Daimion | August 22, 2011 | Comments 0 Comment
When I go back and watch a Spielberg film from the late 70s or early 80s, it has a certain look and feel to it – a tone that is instantly recognizable. When I watch a sitcom from the 80s, it has a singular cadence that instantly puts me at ease, and prepares me to have my problems solved in 30 minutes or less. When I play a video game from the late 70s or early 80s, it makes my fingers itch for a quarter. And, when I read one of the books I loved when I was a teenager, it brings back the pure joy I would find in losing myself in another time and another place. I spend so much time thinking about what I read now; it's becoming more and more rare for me to find that unadulterated escape in a book anymore. I found it when I read "Ready Player One" – and I loved it.
"Ready Player One" is the story of Wade Watts. He's a high school student who, like almost everyone else in the world, spends as much of his time as possible immersed in the virtual world of OASIS. It's a massive online virtual universe created by video game legend James Halliday. A completely immersive virtual world, OASIS has made Halliday a multi-billionaire, and changed the way people interact with each other.
When Halliday passes away, he sets in motion a grand game to determine who will inherit the company and become the caretaker of OASIS. He has hidden three Keys somewhere in the system and set up an old school Scoreboard to track everyone's progress. Halliday was in love with the 80s (it seems Halliday was born only a year after I was), so the game's puzzles are all based on 80s pop culture, movies, music, and video games. Wade (or Parzival, as his online avatar is known) is one of the millions of people searching for the answers to Halliday's riddle:
Then, on the evening of February 11, 2045, an avatar's name appeared at the top of the Scoreboard, for the whole world to see. After five long years, the Copper Key had finally been found, by an eighteen-year-old kid living in a trailer park on the outskirts of Oklahoma City.
That kid was me.
Dozens of books, cartoons, movies, and miniseries have attempted to tell the story of everything that happened next, but every single one of them got it wrong. So I want to set the record straight, once and for all.
What follows is a story steeped in an admiration for all things geek. It's a love letter to the culture that shaped all of us who grew up in the 80s. This is a book for anyone who's every memorized a pattern on Pac-Man. It's a book for anyone who's ever answered a question by saying – "Blue…no, yellow!" It's a book for anyone who's ever rolled multi-sided dice in the hopes of achieving greatness. It's a book for anyone who's ever believed with all his or her heart that a small square on a small TV, holding a pixilated arrow, was really a brave knight on an epic Adventure.
This book is just fun. I don't want to go in to great detail on the story itself – to do that would ruin the thrill of discovery that I felt as I turned each page. It drew me in from the first chapter and whisked me along on a trip down memory lane. So much of my childhood is represented in this book; it felt like putting on a comfortable pair of old blue jeans. I realized about half way through that this is the book my 13 year-old self didn't know he was preparing my 40 year-old self to love.
I could go on for pages about the multitude of references and influences found in "Ready Player One". It's part "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory", part "The Breakfast Club", and part "Indiana Jones". There are echoes of J.R.R. Tolkien, Mike Resnick, Jack L. Chalker, and Piers Anthony. And within OASIS, there is room for Star Wars, Star Trek, and Firefly to all live together. It's the perfect synthesis of all these cultural touch points and a multitude more.
To stop there, though, would do the story a disservice. It's not merely a 300+ page excuse to reminisce about the stories, games, and movies of our youth. It's also a compelling story that invests you in its characters. There are themes exploring the corporatization of our culture, the true meaning of friendship, and the dangers of disconnecting yourself from the real world. The last is a timely message, and deftly balanced between a love for the virtual world and an understanding of the need for balance between the virtual and the physical.
I created OASIS because I never felt at home in the real world. I didn't know how to connect with the people there. I was afraid, for all my life. Right up until I knew it was ending. That was when I realized, as terrifying and painful as reality can be, it's also the only place where you can find true happiness. Because reality is real. Do you understand?
Once I picked up "Ready Player One", I found myself doing something I don't do that often these days – I made time to read the book quickly. I snuck in 5 minutes here and 5 minutes there. I turned the TV off. I stayed up late. I made excuses to read when I really didn't have the time. It was that perfect dichotomy we all, as readers, yearn for – I couldn't read it fast enough, but I didn't want it to end.
Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of "Ready Player One". Whether you are a fan of 80s pop culture or not – whether you've ever even put a quarter in to a Ms. Pac-Man machine – this is a book that will entertain you. You will not be disappointed. It has action, it has adventure – but it also has heart, and ultimately a message about the importance of not losing sight of what's real. It gave me a span of 3 days where I felt like I was 13 again and nothing in the world mattered as much as answering the question – "what happens next?" It may only be August, but I feel certain I've just read my favorite book of 2011.
For a healthy dose of 80s pop culture, check out the official "Ready Player One" website – here.
My favorite words from "Ready Player One"
That there was nothing so wrong in the world that we couldn't sort it out by the end of a single half-hour episode (or maybe a two-parter, if it was something really serious).
"No," I said, shaking my head. "It doesn't. It's even worse than the first Ewok flick, Caravan of Courage. They shoulda called it Caravan of Suck".
Lame-o-rama! Beyond lame. "Highlander 2" lame.
I recognized the music. It was the last track from John Williams' original Star Wars score, used in the scene where Princess Leia give Luke and Han their medals (and Chewbacca, as you may recall, gets the shaft).

«Жанна д'Арк» () — британський міні-телесеріал режисера Крістіана Дюгея 1999 року про Жанну д'Арк.

Слогани:
 «Легенда. Свята.» ()
 «Вона померла в 19. Через 500 років її легенда продовжує жити!» ()

Прем'єра відбулася 16 травня 1999 року США.

Сюжет
У 1412 році в Північній Франції, понівеченої постійними міжусобними війнами з бургундцями і багаторічною війною з англійцями, в простій селянській родині народилася дочка Жанна. Дізнавшись, що народилася дочка, батько хотів навіть вбити її — настільки жорстокі були часи. Але мати завадила чоловікові.

З дитинства дівчинка бачила тільки війни і вбивства, а у віці 12 років вперше пізнала божественне світло. Зовсім юною вона зрозуміла, що Богом на неї покладена місія врятувати Францію, об'єднавши її під правлінням одного короля Карла, який зможе об'єднати Францію і Бургундію і вигнати англійців. І проста сільська дівчина вирушає до дофіна.

Не вірячи в божественний вибір, дофін та єпископ Кошон, тим не менш, вирішили використовувати Жанну, оголосивши її Лотарингською дівою, яка повинна була прийти і врятувати народ у відповідності з пророцтвом Мерліна.

The keyword module declares a module. The name of the module is given after the keyword. There are two methods of scoping the module. Either it can be a bare directive in the beginning of a file, or the whole module can be scoped in the code block within the pair of braces.
In the first option, the rest of the file is the module definition (note the presence of the unit keyword).
In the second option, the code looks similar to the way you declare classes (more on classes in Chapter 4).
To use a module in your code, use the keyword use.
An example. Let us first create the module Greet and save it in the file named Greet.pm.
Then, let us use this module in our programme by saying use Greet.
Module names can be more complicated. With is export, all the exported names will be available in the current scope after the module is used.
In the following example, the module Greet::Polite sits in the Greet/Polite.pm file.
The programme uses both of these modules and can access all the exported subs.
The use keyword automatically imports the names from modules. When a module is defined in the current file in the lexical scope (please note that the module can be declared as local with my module), no import will be done by default. In this case, importing the names should be done explicitly with the import keyword.
The f name will only be available for use after it is imported. Again, only the names marked as is export are exported.
As import happens in the compile-time, the import instruction itself can be located even after some names from the module are used.
The require keyword loads a module at a runtime unlike the use, which loads it at the compile-time.
For example, here is a module with a single sub, which returns the sum of its arguments.
Now, require the module and use its sub.
Before the import Math instruction, the programme will not be able to call Math::sum() because the name is not yet known. A single import Math; will not help as the import happens at compile-time when the module is not loaded yet.


While working on EBS12.2.4 installation on Virtual Box using Oracle Virtual Appliance (.OVA) file, I received an error when I tried to import the Virtual Appliance file. The error was very generic and given me a tuff time to figure out what was the actual cause.
Failed to import appliance D:\EBSTemplates\12.2.4\Oracle-E-Business-Suite-12.2.4_VISION_INSTALL.ova.
Seeking within the archive failed (VERR_TAR_CHKSUM_MISMATCH).
Could not open the current file in the OVA package (VERR_TAR_CHKSUM_MISMATCH).
The most appropriate is that the downloaded files are damaged. Verify the integrity of the downloaded files. Please do a md5sum on the loaded files and compare with what is the md5sum value when it was shipped.
Validate the files are merged properly and validate md5sum of merged file as well. To validate file integrity run the md5sum command as "md5sum file.zip".
Check the drive where .ova file will be imported i.e the virtual machine folder where it create virtual machine config and drive files. The system should have enough space and current user should have right permission.
Make sure you are no the latest version of Virtual Box. In this instance I had the error because I was on lower version of Virtual Box (4.2.X), after I moved to latest version as of today i.e 4.3.x, I was able to import virtual machine.
