It indicates a fancy dress and is usually matched to its color and can be adjusted. It can be worn basically to any event and makes one to stand out in any event there by making you seduce the people with your wonderful and gorgeous look.


Some time ago, there was a post circulating on Facebook about a dog that was allegedly abused during the making of a film. The dog was thrown into a pool of water and it was evident from the footage that the dog was less than thrilled. There was an outcry. Animal abuse, animal rights, etc. The dominating viewpoint was that they had no right to do this to an innocent dog, and "something" should be done.
I watched the video a couple of times. The dog wasn't injured and I'm guessing that when the dog isn't acting he/she probably has a pretty good gig. After all, any animal that makes you money is most likely treated well in its downtime. I commented on this and I also commented that I wondered how and why this was so different than the treatment of non "pet" animals. We're all very concerned about the dog, we don't care much about the pig or the chicken or the cow. It boggles my mind some, why we choose which animals are "worthy" of our love and attention, while another animal is roasting in our oven. We don't give the roasted animal's life, before it became our dinner, a moment's thought. The odds are that it may have never even walked on grass, it probably lived in cramped quarters, it most likely did not graze freely, and I personally think the words "humane slaughter" are ridiculous.
So why do we compartmentalize this way? Why are we so horrified that there are cultures who eat dogs? Why is that even an issue? I have a dog. I love him to pieces. We go on long hikes, he sleeps in his bed beside my bed, he follows me around the house. He's a part of my family. Is he more worthy than a cow? Or a pig? Nope. Not even a little bit. He's just one of the lucky ones. We react to what we see, or what we are shown. We tend to ignore all the rest. We choose to not think about factory farming and slaughter. We choose to not spend a lot of time contemplating what is actually on our plate. We like to post memes about how much we love bacon, and then watch videos of pet piglets being cute and post about how we want one.
It took me a long time to acknowledge these discrepancies within myself; a lot of years of "pretending" that this mentality was just fine. It isn't though. The level of hypocrisy is actually mind-boggling. Do you love animals? Or do you not? There really is no in-between.
I am a meat-eater, always have been, but this is still an interesting perspective and definitely got me thinking! Thanks for sharing!

Prof. Christian Gaillard
In this lecture, we shall try to see how, from early childhood and at different stages of his life and work, Jung's encounters with the arts gave sustenance to the way he lived and thought about relationships to the unconscious.
To do so, we will have to overcome some oddly persistent misunderstandings concerning his Red Book and his essays on Picasso and Joyce. We shall then focus on the advances made by Neumann in the field, especially with regard to the course of our collective history and modern and contemporary creation.
Lastly, we shall reconsider the respective insights of Jung and Neumann in light of today's research on prehistoric art, and of the recent presentation of the Red Book at the last Contemporary Art Biennale in Venice.
Christian Gaillard is a doctor of psychology (Sorbonne and EPHE), training analyst, supervisor and former president of the SFPA and of the IAAP, professor at the National Academy of Fine Arts in Paris till 2007, lecturer at several universities. He is a member of the international editorial teams of many Jungian journals.

Analytical Psychology in Exile: The Correspondence of C. G. Jung and Erich Neumann
The Correspondence of C.G. Jung and Erich Neumann will be launched at this unique, international conference, 24-26 April, 2015, at kibbutz Shefayim, north of Tel Aviv
C. G. Jung and Erich Neumann first met in 1933, at a seminar Jung was conducting in Berlin. Jung was fifty-seven years old and internationally acclaimed for his own brand of psychotherapy. Neumann, twenty-eight. He had, in fact, not yet begun his training in psychotherapy. The two men struck up a correspondence that would continue until Neumann's death in 1960. A lifelong Zionist, Neumann fled Nazi Germany with his family and settled in Palestine in 1934, where he would become the founding father of analytical psychology in the future state of Israel.
Presented here in English for the first time are letters that provide a rare look at the development of Jung's psychological theories from the 1930s onward as well as the emerging self-confidence of another towering twentieth-century intellectual who was often described as Jung's most talented student. Neumann was one of the few correspondence partners of Jung's who was able to challenge him intellectually and personally. These letters shed light on not only Jung's political attitude toward Nazi Germany, his alleged anti-Semitism, and his psychological theory of fascism, but also his understanding of Jewish psychology and mysticism. They affirm Neumann's importance as a leading psychologist of his time and paint a fascinating picture of the psychological impact of immigration on the German Jewish intellectuals who settled in Palestine and helped to create the state of Israel.
Featuring Martin Liebscher's authoritative introduction and annotations, this volume documents one of the most important intellectual relationships in the history of analytical psychology.
"This is an important work that presents a definitive English translation of the extant correspondence of C. G. Jung and Erich Neumann. The book is clearly of very high scholarly caliber in all respects, and it will become a primary reference source for Jung scholars and researchers."
—Graham Richards, author of Race, Racism, and Psychology: Towards a Reflexive History
"This work is a significant contribution to the field of Jung studies. It offers Neumann's unique perspectives as a Jewish refugee from Nazi Germany who lived first in Zurich and then settled in Palestine. Of particular interest is Neumann's dialogue with Jung concerning the archetypes of Jewish culture and Jung's involvement with psychotherapists who remained in Germany after Hitler came to power."
—Geoffrey Campbell Cocks, author of The State of Health: Illness in Nazi Germany
Martin Liebscher is senior research fellow in German and honorary senior lecturer in psychology at University College London. His books include "Thinking the Unconscious: Nineteenth-Century German Thought". Heather McCartney is a Jungian analytical psychotherapist in private practice.

Erich Neumann and The Magic Flute
The Jung Neumann Letters
An International Conference
in Celebration of a Creative Relationship
At the forthcoming
Jung Neumann Letters Conference, April 24-26, 2015
Tom Kelly, President of the IAAP, will present on
The Magic Flute, a fairy tale put to music, recounts a story symbolic of a profound and archetypal psychological process. Mozart, both genius and iconoclast, gathered together local folk songs, combined them with the magic of fairy tale images and polished them into breathtakingly stunning and deeply moving operatic arias. The magic of this opera is that it depicts the archetypal struggles inherent in the individuation process from both a masculine and feminine perspective. It is little wonder that this opera appeals to people of all ages and from all cultures. Erich Neumann recognized the profound psychological nature of this opera and shared his insights in his article entitled "The Magic Flute". Using Ingmar Bergman's film version of the Magic Flute from 1975, we shall let the magic of this tale work on us as we view excerpts of the opera that highlight the psychological process recounted.
Following Tom Kelly's presentation, Dvorah Kuchinsky, the Grand Old Lady of Jungian Analysis in Israel, will offer further comments.
Tom Kelly, M.S.W., completed his analytical training at the C. G. Jung Institute in Zurich in 1986. He is a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Analytical Psychology and has lectured widely in Canada, the US and Europe. He is currently President of the International Association for Analytical Psychology (IAAP). Tom Kelly lives and has a private practice in Montreal, Canada.
Tom Kelly
Close to 90, Dvorah Kutzinsky, the Grand Old Lady of Jungian Analysts in Israel, is as sharp, witty and vital as ever. Coupled with her awareness of old age and death, she is full of life and energy, leaving most of us behind.
Her charismatic personality comes across in lectures and seminars, therapy and supervision, as her students, analysands and colleagues of more than fifty years will attest.
The person she is and her individual life are deeply intertwined with the history and culture of the 20th Century. She grew up in the house in which Kafka was born, with Max Brod, to whom we owe the preservation of Kafka's manuscripts, among the weekly guests in their home. Her father, the philologist Prof. Zeckendorf, later one of the famous lecturers at Theresienstadt, predicted Kafka's future long before his rise to fame.
After years in Theresienstadt and Auschwitz, Dvorah - as everybody calls her - arrived at the shores of Israel, and met Erich Neumann. She became a close friend and his foremost disciple, making his writings accessible to generations of Jungians.
Dvorah Kuchinsky
Dvorah Kuchinsky will also participate in the session on 'Memories from my 'grand' father's house, and share memories from the life of Erich Neumann.

College wrestling: Nolf, Nickal lead the list of talented freshmen
Penn State's Jason Nolf has emerged as one of the top freshman in college wrestling.
Make a quick rundown of national rankings, regardless of which service used, and you will not find many freshmen. That's normal at the Division I level. Yes, there have been plenty of first-year starters on the medal stand and a few national champions as well.
Just last March, Ohio State's Nathan Tomasello beat West Virginia freshman Zeke Moisey on the big stage at 125 pounds. Isaiah Martinez, a freshman for Illinois, won the NCAA title at 157 pounds. A fourth freshman, Ohio State's Kyle Snyder, advanced to the 197-pound final. A few others, including Iowa's Brandon Sorensen and Buckeye 165-pounder Bo Jordan, received plenty of attention.
What about this year's crop? After two-plus months of the 2015-16 campaign it is safe to say there is plenty of rookie talent floating around the DI ranks.
It starts in State College, Pennsylvania, where Jason Nolf and Bo Nickal made Southern Scuffle statements and added an exclamation point over the weekend in Champaign, Illinois. Nolf improved to 21-0 when he stunned Martinez and ended the Illini sophomore's 54-match win streak.
Nickal (21-1) pinned top-ranked Zac Brunson late in their 174-pound battle. Combined, Nolf and Nickal have 17 pins this season.
"A lot of people say ̒oh, try and keep it close' but I'm here to win … you have to attack the same match every way," said Nolf, a native of Yatesboro, Pennsylvania.
Nickal, from Allen, Texas, suffered a surprising loss after taking over the top spot at 174 due in part to his victory over Cornell's Brian Realbuto in Chattanooga. Nickal is sure to move back to No. 1, giving Penn State most likely four top-ranked individuals. Zain Retherford (149) and Morgan McIntosh (197), both unbeaten this season, are also No. 1.
"This is great," Nickal said after the dual. "I love it. I love my team and coaches. It was a great environment (in Champaign). It was good to get a nice team win here today."
PSU head coach Cael Sanderson knows a thing or two about talented freshmen, himself being one of the few to finish unbeaten and win a national title as a redshirt-freshman for Iowa State.
"They (Nolf and Nickal) both did a great job against top competition," Sanderson said. "We're just real consistent, we focus on effort and we enjoy the opportunity we have; that's kind of our foundation."
Nolf and Nickal are not the only rookie hot shots.
• Oklahoma State's Joe Smith has two losses in 28 matches, one to Martinez at the Reno TOC in December and to Nolf in the finals of the Southern Scuffle. The son of Cowboy head coach John Smith, Joe completed his high school career at Stillwater High in May 2015 and was originally set to redshirt this season. Instead, he'll be right in the mix at 157 pounds.
• Stanford 141-pounder Joey McKenna is another in a long line of talent emanating from Blair Academy in New Jersey. He is 16-1, the only loss coming to Oklahoma State's Dean Heil in the Scuffle finals. McKenna should get another shot at Heil in a Feb. 14 dual in Stillwater.
• Missouri's Daniel Lewis showed his talent by riding Oklahoma State's Alex Dieringer for over four minutes in a 4-3 loss last Friday. Lewis, an Illinois product, is 17-4 at 165 pounds and ranked fifth.
• There has been a little water under the bridge since you last heard of Tanner Hall. The Arizona State freshman finished his high school career in 2011, winning his third state title for Meridian High School in Idaho. He made two Junior World Teams in freestyle, beating current World champion Kyle Snyder in the finals of the 2012 U.S. Junior World Team Trials.
Almost two years off the mat followed as Hall fulfilled his Morman mission in Uganda. Now, a bit older and wiser, Hall (19-8) checks in at No. 9 in the first NCAA coaches' panel rankings released last Thursday.
McKenna is not the only talented rookie 141-pounder. Micah Jordan (Ohio State), Tommy Thorn (Minnesota), and Soloman Chisko (Virginia Tech) are all capable of making noise in New York City.
Big duals galore
No. 4 Missouri's 37-match win streak ended at No. 5 Oklahoma State last Friday. The Cowboys won 7 of 10 bouts in a 23-9 victory that included Nolan Boyd's 7-2 victory over fourth-ranked All-American Willie Micklus at 184 pounds.
"The streak was nice … but those first two matches we just gave away. (OSU) earned them, but we had big opportunities to win them," MU head coach Brian Smith said. "They beat us on top all night. We know what (OSU) is going to do.
"But I'm glad we were exposed tonight. It's January and you need to identify those things and correct them."
Second-ranked Iowa continued its solid dual season with wins over Purdue and No. 11 Nebraska in Lincoln on Sunday. Against the Huskers, Iowa (13-0) earned seven decisions in a 21-11 outcome. It was UI's 19th-straight Big Ten dual win. They host rival Minnesota this Friday.
Cornell's EIWA win streak ended at 47 when No. 6 Lehigh beat a depleted Big Red squad in Ithaca, 25-13, Saturday night. CU was without top-ranked Nahshon Garrett (133, injury) and Gabe Dean (184, illness).
• After going 0-10 in 2014-15 and starting this season 0-11, the Campbell Camels, under first-year head coach Cory Kolat, could not go for a second straight victory last Friday against Gardner-Webb due to the nasty weather that hit the East Coast over the weekend. Campbell broke its 22-match losing streak Jan. 15 at VMI.
• Last Friday, Buffalo took advantage of a forfeit at 141 pounds to beat Old Dominion, 19-15. Trailing 15-12, Buffalo's James Benjamin beat Austin Coburn, 3-2, in a third overtime tiebreaker, and Jake Gunning majored Andrew Snyder at 285 in the dual's final bout.
• VMI hosts the All-Academy Championships in Lexington, Kentucky, this Saturday. The Air Force Academy won its first title in 12 seasons, edging Army by 3.5 points last season.
• Harvard and Columbia meet for the 85th time this Friday. The Lions have won five of the last six meetings and own a 50-32-2 series advantage dating back to 1923.
• Oklahoma State's 38-3 win over Iowa State on Sunday was the largest margin of victory in the series since 1949.

How did you get into the academic side of medicine? Following graduation from medical school, I went into full-time clinical practice in a staff model health maintenance organization (HMO). My career vision when I entered medical school was that I would graduate, complete my residency and then go into full time clinical practice. I am enthusiastic about patient care and working with patients, and I really believed that this would constitute a full and exciting professional life. What I learned after two years of clinical practice was that although I loved my patients and really enjoy patient care, intellectually and collaboratively, that model was not enough for me. I didn't want to stop being a physician, but I thought, "What could I add?," and I thought about teaching.
What are your clinical and research interests? I'm really interested in physician-patient communication, health behavior change, cultural competence as well as a new healthcare method called value-based practice. It is a clinical process that integrates patients' values with the best scientific evidence. I'm very interested in training providers to efficiently gather data on patients' values and really using that data along with evidence-based science to deliver high-quality healthcare and efficiently use resources. So it's a strategy to do the things that we must do as healthcare changes.
What is your vision for Baylor College of Medicine? Baylor College of Medicine has a distinguished history and an extraordinary portfolio of strengths. My vision is to be a steward, in collaboration with the leaders, faculty, students and staff, to enhance the already excellent portfolio of the schools and programs to achieve the mission imperative of creating and applying science to further education research and community service. If we are leaders who are redefining health professions education, how are we using the best science (e.g., biomedical, social science, public health, leadership, organizational change) to drive educational excellence? We should borrow broadly from the sciences to support our training so that our learners are best prepared to not just practice, but lead in this new healthcare and research environment, so that education serves as the platform to prepare our graduates to be leaders in health care, scientific research and other science related careers.
How do you like Houston so far? I like Houston! There's a lot to learn and there's a lot to do. There are so many wonderful neighborhoods and communities and so many lovely places to go and things to visit. I'm still in a little bit in the "Alice in Wonderland" phase in that there's still a lot to experience.
What is your favorite thing about Baylor College of Medicine so far? I would say the people. The students are fantastic and the faculty are extraordinary. Also, the ways in which Baylor touches the community, both in the K-12 outreach programs, programs that touch the poor and the underserved, as well as the ways in which Baylor uses scientific discoveries to improve clinical care.
Tell us about your family I have a husband and three kids – a son and two daughters. Our son is married and so I have a lovely daughter-in-law. We have one grandson and two grand-dogs. The two grand-dogs, Daisy and Buddy, live with us.
Most people wouldn't know that I … Love to sing. One of the joys of my early life was singing in choirs, and I sang in a gospel choir in college. I really love music; it's good for the soul. Most of my singing now is congregational singing, but singing gives me joy.
Anything else you want to add? I'm really excited to be at Baylor. I'm excited to get acquainted with the people and to learn more about the many strengths of Baylor through the eyes of the outstanding faculty and students. I'm excited to hear their stories of their journey, how Baylor College of Medicine is supporting their life goals and how Baylor College of Medicine might do more to further the successes of our students and our faculty.

Q: How to play youtube video in UIWebView muted? I am using UIWebView to play an embedded youtube video, on iOS 9 for iphone.
However, due to a known issue, the volume control is not working, i.e. calling player.mute() or player.setVolume(0) doesn't work at all:
https://github.com/youtube/youtube-ios-player-helper/issues/20
I am wondering if anyone has successfully worked around this? Could you share your method.
The sample embedded html I am using:
    <html><body style='margin:0px;padding:0px;'>
    <script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.youtube.com/iframe_api'></script><script type='text/javascript'>
    var player;
    function onYouTubeIframeAPIReady()
    {player=new YT.Player('playerId',{events:{onReady:onPlayerReady}})}
    function onPlayerReady(event){player.mute();player.setVolume(0);player.playVideo();}
    </script>
    <iframe id='playerId' type='text/html' width='1280' height='720'
src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/R52bof3tvZs?enablejsapi=1&rel=0&playsinline=1&autoplay=1&showinfo=0&autohide=1&controls=0&modestbranding=1' frameborder='0'>
    </body></html>

Thanks!

A: First of all you cannot set the volume using javascript check this doc and read Volume Control in JavaScript section. Found here.
Secondly i tried this:
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
                                         selector:@selector(playerItemBecameCurrentNotif:)
                                             name:@"AVPlayerItemBecameCurrentNotification"
                                           object:nil];

- (void)playerItemBecameCurrentNotif:(NSNotification*)notification {
    AVPlayerItem *playerItem = notif.object;
    AVPlayer *player = [playerItem valueForKey:@"player"];
    [player setVolume:0.0];
}

This seems to be working fine in simulator. However this method is using some private properties. Use at your own risk ;) and don't forget to remove observer.

ExtraHop is adding machine learning to its performance management software. The result is a cloud-based service called Addy that could be applied to real-time network security.
Due to be available in April, Addy (renamed from Ally due to a legal issue) draws interpretations from the data ExtraHop is picking up real-time.
Network performance management (NPM) is typically about watching what's happening to the network. ExtraHop adds the wrinkle of observing the metadata of the passing traffic. When interpreted correctly, this wire data can provide extra real-time insight into what the network is doing.
That was the core insight that led to ExtraHop's founding in 2007 by former F5 engineers Jesse Rothstein and Raja Mukerji. "Instead of looking at endpoints to gather log files or instrumental data, we realized all these transactions are flying by us every moment," says Isaac Roybal, ExtraHop's director of products.
ExtraHop expects Addy to be used by security operations personnel as a way to cull the massive amount of data available off the network. That's a problem that is attracting plenty of possible solutions based on machine learning or artificial intelligence. Yesterday, for instance, IBM announced a service called Watson for Cyber Security, which combines security operations with Watson's ability to ingest volumes of security literature.
One factor making Addy possible now, as opposed to 10 years ago, is the availability of seemingly unlimited compute power in the cloud. That makes it possible to scale up a machine-learning agent to provide a useful real-time service, Roybal says.
NPM vendors such as NetScout and Riverbed make use of real-time analytics in similar ways to ExtraHop — as do competitors in application performance management (APM), including AppDynamics (being acquired by Cisco), Dynatrace, and New Relic. ExtraHop considers its focus on wire data to be its competitive edge. Moreover, the company considers its software to be a platform, which it can augment with cloud-native inventions like Addy.


Description: Together, og_sites_hub and og_sites provide multisite functionality in which a central 'hub' site has a set of associated sites leveraging Organic Groups functionality to selectively share data (nodes and users), such that the hub site has access to all data while associated sites see and edit only their own data plus that specifically shared by the hub site.
OG Sites is rough and incomplete--it was drafted for the first stage of a client project that didn't go forward. Documentation and support are both very limited. There are no current plans to upgrade OG Sites beyond Drupal 5.
This module will be particularly useful to, e.g., an organization or company with a head office and many branch office, or a network wanting a central site.
Developed by CivicSpace, sponsored by Alpha, http://alpha.org.
By default, Drupal supports table sharing between sites. In a multisite configuration, however, it is often desirable to selectively limit access between sites. For example, with simple table sharing, an admin user on one site could reset the password of user 1 on another site, gaining full control over that other site.
Control over access is especially needed in a configuration where one site is a network hub, with many associated sites--e.g., an organization with a head office and many branches. Under this configuration, the hub site needs access to all users and content, but the branches should only have access to their own content and users.
og_sites_hub runs on the hub site. It maintains links between users, groups, and content. Each associated site is represented by an organic group on the hub site.
og_sites runs on each client site. It registers all users and content with the site's group on the hub site and restricts access to users and content created on the client site or associated with the client site's group. There is also a group created on the hub site that allows publishing of content that will be visible on all associated (client) sites.
This module allows you to easily define the rules by which organic groups posts will be visible to non-group members. It is an API module which allows developers to create access policies which override the default behavior of OG Access and Spaces OG.
Look at the OG Privacy for Open Atrium feature for an example of some of the complexities of using this module with Spaces in a graceful sort of way.
This module moderates public posts from organic groups module. Moderated posts will be hidden from anonymous visitors. Moderation needs to be done by node administrators or another module.

I was recently contacted by the lovely people at me&i to do a review of there clothing for them, by which I was thrilled. me&i produce lovely Organic clothing which is very eye catching and bright.
me&i started back in 2004 by Susan Engvall and Helene Nyrell, working from their homes in Barsebäck, Sweden. The company began when Susan and Helene couldn't find high-quality childrens clothes which were 'cool' as the ranges were very limited. Susan and Helene then joined with Camilla Blom Polfeldt, an art director and print designer and they started to design their first me&i collection which became a huge sucess. Still based in Sweden, me&i has 750 sales staff working in Finland, Norway, Germany and the UK to advertise the me&i brand.
Having a boy sometimes the only option for clothing is standard jeans and a variety of t-shirts, luckily this is slowly improving however nothing seems to be bright. I love to dress Jack in bright clothing which are unique designs and not something you see very often. When looking on the website for me&i there was so much choice and I would have been happy with any design which was sent.
Jack was sent a 'Happy Mushrooms' short sleeved t-shirt which is suitable for either gender. It is a light blue top covered in red and white mushrooms. It is a really fun design and we have had a lot of happy comments about it (which I didn't expect). The top is 95% cotton and 5% elastane, and the quality feels amazing. The top is very soft on Jack's skin which is always a great thing with baby clothing. The t-shirt has two small buttons on the shoulder to allow for easy removable and placing of the t-shirt, these fit the design perfectly.
me&i use there own clothing sizes being a Swedish company so it is important to order their sizes. Jack would normally wear a 9-12 months top but according to me&i website he would be ok with 6-12 months. I was a little worried this would end up coming up small however, when it arrived it was a perfect fit, not only that after washing it is still a great fit. Due to the elastane in the t-shirt I feel it will last Jack a while, whilst still also being comfortable and great looking. When your child grows so quickly it is always good to know you will get great use out of the items you buy.
The 'Happy Mushrooms' t-shirt ranges from £15.00 - £17.00 depending upon sizing. Although this may seem a little expensive for a t-shirt, you take into account the quality of the fabrics and how long it will last.
me&i are on the lookout for enthusiastic individuals who love their clothing to become part of their team. For more information on this please take a look at the me&i website.
Please Note. This product was sent to me byme&i for the purpose of this review, all opinions and wording are my own.
That is a gorgeous t-shirt, I love it! So colourful and bright.

Hai partecipato alle nostre degustazioni?
Having our first bottle of Tili wine at home!! Missing Italy! Loving the wine!!
We went to wine tasting and had the meal! It was FANASTIC!!! We had a lot of fun with the owner and the staff!! The wine is TERRIFIC!! We ordered some and had it delivered to our home! So excited to make dinner for family and friends and serve our special wine!! Thank you to Tili Vini for making our first trip to Italy so special!!!
Friday 10 August we had a wine tasting and tour. It was great, nice wines, great food, friendly atmosphere and short but interesting tour.
We have been to many wine tastings in Umbria and I have to say the the experience at Tili was the best. They are certainly passionate about their product and when you taste it you will know why. The light lunch that accompanied the tasting was substantial. We did not feel at all rushed and enjoyed a lovely lunch on the terrace sampling 7 different wines along with olive oil, at a very reasonable price. If you have the opportunity to visit Tili, you won't be disappointed!
We had an amazing wine tasting at Tili with the lady herself and wonderful family and staff. It was personal, delicious and fun. Highly recommend the experience.
BELLISSIMO POSTO, OTTIMO VINO E PERSONE MOLTO CORDIALI TANTO DA SENTIRSI IN FAMIGLIA!

Race, Community Engagement and an Integrated Dance
HBO debuted a documentary this month that set out to tell the story of a Georgia high school's first integrated prom but uncovered a hornet's nest of racial conflict. "Southern Rites" focused on Montgomery County as students merged their "white prom" and "black prom," sparking bitter backlash from many residents who didn't take kindly to the disruption of the status quo. ANew York Times article about the segregated proms sparked a national outcry, but no one in rural Georgia was surprised. Separate dances are commonplace there. The Southwest Georgia Project for Community Education recently helped integrate a prom in Wilcox County, four counties away.
"In 2013, it was the very first time having an integrated prom. Ever. And we actually had to have it in another county. It wasn't in that particular county," said former Business Development Specialist Daa'iyiah Salaam, who says the dance was an opportunity to introduce deeper conversations about race. Racial healing is one of SWGAP's focus areas, though it's frequently brought up in other contexts, like the integrated prom or projects involving education or economic development. "In organizing around our racial tensions, depending on where we are, we try to get a common goal," Salaam said. "We don't actually explicitly say 'race' at all. We don't explicitly say, 'We're working on race relations.' We just want people to come together. … Our strategy depends on the feedback that we get and how open people really are about talking about racism and race relations."
The integrated prom in Wilcox County was a big success, but it couldn't have happened without community engagement. The effort involved several dedicated students, a savvy social media strategy and the support of family and community. The privately organized dance paved the way for Wilcox County High School to hold its first school-organized, integrated prom in 2014, and a second one this year.
SWGAP isn't the only organization that finds opportunity at the intersection of community engagement and race; in fact, it's one of the primary reasons McIntosh SEED was created. The advocacy group in eastern Georgia facilitates collaboration among black and white residents to address the conditions that contribute to poverty in their communities. "Just ten, twelve years ago, there wasn't a lot of communication between blacks and whites in this community, and as this organization was formed, it started a dialogue among black and white people," said Executive Director John Littles. "It brought about a lot of challenges, a lot of threats for this organization. There were many people who didn't want to see this type of action of people looking to address issues or communications between black and white in this community. And our process allowed for that to take place. It started strengthening relationships; it started deepening relationships…and a lot of people were threatened by that to see this going on, blacks and whites communicating – something could happen. Something positive could happen. And it did. We rolled out programs and started addressing them."
Demolishing artificial barriers to build stronger, unified communities is a formula that's achieving victories all over the South. According to North Carolina Congress of Latino Organizations Executive Director and Durham CAN Lead Organizer Ivan Parra, a diverse coalition of civically engaged people is a powerful agent of change, even if not everyone is working toward the same goals all the time. "You need to build on what is similar around people, but you have to do it in a way that still respects the self interests of each of the communities. So when we're working on a campaign and we have an issue and we have African-Americans and Latinos working together, we understand that they have two different sets of priorities and that some are similar, but that if we build relationships, today, Latinos will support African-Americans because they're their friends because tomorrow, they will be the opposite. So there's gotta be that sense of reciprocity. … 'Cause when they sit together and they start talking about why they migrated here or what happened, what conditions they had when they grew up, what ends up happening is that they say, 'We're not that different. Perhaps we were born in different countries, but our families also migrated. Our families also had issues of poverty, or our families are facing the same difficulties.' And once they do that, they find the strength to be able to support one another even though sometimes there's not a clear gain for either one. But they know that tomorrow is my turn."
In Durham, these collaborative efforts recently won higher wages for Duke University employees, increased lead paint testing in low-wealth communities and prompted major changes in local police procedure. As Parra puts it, it all comes down to our basic nature: "Human beings are human beings and if you go build a relationship with somebody and just listen to them and understand who they are and what they want and what they care about, it doesn't matter if they're Latino or they're African-American or they're poor or educated or uneducated. People have a desire to be listened to and to contribute and to be part of something, and that applies to all different communities."
(Disclosure: Parra is a board member of the Mary Reynolds Babcock Foundation.)

Missed Chances And New Beginnings, In All-Connecticut Show Premiering At Hartford Stage
by: Charlene Scott September 16, 2015 HARTFORD, Conn.
"An Opening In Time," which opens September 17th at the Hartford Stage, is an all-Connecticut show. Both director Oliver Butler and playwright Christopher Shinn were born and raised in Connecticut. And that's where Shinn has set his newest work.
Christopher Shinn is a student of human nature. He's especially concerned with what he calls the current tendency to self-victimize and assign blame to others, while denying reality.
That's true of the characters in "An Opening In Time." After spending years in a loveless marriage, the widowed Anne returns to her hometown for a new beginning. The first person she meets is the teenaged George. George is played by Brandon Smalls. Deborah Hedwall is Anne.
GEORGE: We were throwing the ball. I missed it.
ANNE: Oh, that's all right.
GEORGE: It made a mark. I can paint it.
ANNE: Well, I don't know what color that is. I wonder if the previous left any paint in the garage. Not that bad. You live next door?
GEORGE: For now, yeah. They're my foster parents. I'm George.
ANNE: Nice to meet you, George. My name is Anne. I was just about to have some tea. Would you and your friend like to join me? I have oatmeal raisin cookies I've made.
GEORGE: It's my brother. We're still throwing the ball.
Christopher Shinn spent his boyhood exploring areas of Hartford. He says he was surprised by the poverty he saw there, just five minutes from his upper middle class home in Wethersfield. He got a closer look at the city while going to high school at the Hartford Academy of the Arts.
"We were in the South End in a former funeral home. But you know it was a very diverse place," Shinn says. "A lot of kids in the suburbs are sheltered, but you know I feel like I had access to many different worlds and was a part of many different worlds growing up."
Shinn's world expanded further while studying with Tony Kushner at NYU's Tisch School. In 1997, the 23-year-old Shinn had his first play accepted for production, at London's Royal Court Theatre. Since then, his plays have been produced in London and New York, where he won an Obie Award in 2005 and was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize in 2008.
Shinn often portrays his characters as manipulative because they have a tough time facing reality.
"Or are they distorting reality for their own reasons, their own selfish or self serving reasons?" Shinn says. "So that question to me is fascinating. Are these people reasonable, believable or are they manipulating reality to suit their own ends and self-justify."
It's a question Shinn asks repeatedly in his plays. "An Opening In Time" is about first, second and third chances for the characters who are stuck, says director Oliver Butler.
"And they're stuck in prisons that they have themselves created sometimes over time or sometimes through very intense life experiences," Butler says. "And it's about them trying with different levels of success to make tiny changes in their life that will ultimately lead to much larger, more fulfilled existences."
Including the possibility of rekindling an old romance. Before she left town, lead character Anne, a former high school teacher, and Ron, director of the school musicals, came close to admitting their love for each other. Since then, they've both made up excuses for missing that chance.
While having breakfast at the local diner, Ron discovers that after 30 years, Anne has moved back to town. Ron is played by Patrick Clear. The waitress, Anetta, is Kati Brazda.
RON: An old friend who used to live here just moved back to town. I was wondering why, thought it might be that her husband died. He didn't like it here. I know her son lives nearby now. He was a high school chorus teacher. Got arrested last spring for a relationship with a student.
ANETTA: He has jail?
RON: I think the paper said he pled guilty to reduced charges and got a suspended sentence. Maybe that has something to do with her moving back.
ANETTA: You ever go with students? Maybe she wants to get a big part?
RON: Not even when you could get away with it, Anetta.
ANETTA: What about this woman, you and her?
RON: I was faithful to my ex- wife. Don't ask me why.
The playwright, Shinn, says he's spent 10 years in psychoanalysis. And he says he's learned a great deal about his own foibles as well as what he calls the impenetrable shell of narcissism that prevents many from empathizing with other people's suffering. That's a shell Shinn says he'd like to break through.
"So my hope, yes, is that my work is entertaining certainly and people enjoy it, but also that something comes alive internally whether it be the person's memories or how they think about themselves or reality," Shinn says. "And it doesn't need to necessarily happen during the moment they're watching the play, but that maybe in the days or weeks to come whatever got unsettled or disrupted inside of them, and bring about some thoughts and new feelings that enrich the person's life."
Missed chances and new beginnings are part of Christopher Shinn's "An Opening In Time," which has its world premiere Thursday at the Hartford Stage.
Correction: The version of this story that aired on the radio included the wrong title for the play. "An Opening In Time" is the correct title.

Top 10 Luxurious Car Brands
When we talk about luxury, and the first dreamy thing which we would like to own is none other than a car. When we talk about Luxurious cars then how can we forget Germany, which is always known for giving high-end luxurious cars. To make you aware of the fact that the automobile production industry is one of the biggest industries in Germany. We also got Italy, UK, and the US who have also got a great automobile industry.
Let's dive into the top 10 Luxurious car brands on our planet. Note the below list has been made into consideration by reaching out to the reviews, production output, and market sale.
Bugati
1.Mercedes Benz:
Mercedes-Benz is a German global automobile marque and a division of Daimler AG. Mercedes-Benz is known for its luxury vehicles, vans, trucks, buses, coaches, and ambulances. With the production output of 2.3 million cars worldwide it brings in the highest annual revenue of USD 180-200 billion.
2.Ferrari:
Ferrari is an Italian-Dutch luxury sports car manufacturer based in Maranello. Founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1939 out of Alfa Romeo's race division as Auto Avio Costruzioni, the company built its first car in 1940
That's the beast standing out there with the second position. It would not be that bad to keep Ferrari in the first place. When you place the Ferrari on the track, hardly anyone can challenge it. Lamborghini too comes with super speed technology, but still, when Ferrari comes into the scene, it gets beaten up.
3.Lamborghini:
Lamborghini, an Italian brand and manufacturer of luxury sports cars and SUVs. The company is owned by the Volkswagen Group through its subsidiary Audi.
Lamborghini gives you a higher classy sports infatuation. The design, the look, and the performance, it's incredibly great.
4.BMW
BMW is a German multinational company known for manufacturing and producing automobiles and motorcycles. Founded in 1916.
To buy a BMW car means there are quite different versions and models with different range of money. From a high to a luxurious range you have everything there in the market.
5.Tesla
Elon Musk the CEO of Tesla, brought up an electric vehicle in the market. Participating in a clean energy modal concept he brought up his electrical model of the car and gain the victory of selling a record number of cars after launching the Cybertruck.
Tesla has made the competition tough for the Italy and Germany markets and now gearing up to go at the top of this list.
6.Porsche
Porsche was founded in 1931 in Germany and is majority-owned by Porsche Automobil Holding SE.
We all have heard about the key features of Porche 911. If you haven't then you really need to look at it. With the other launch of Porsche includes the 718 Boxster/Cayman, 911, Panamera, Macan, Cayenne, and Taycan
7.Jaguar
Jaguar with the name itself has emerged as one of the fastest-growing automobile industries. Its a British manufacturer with its headquarters in Whitley, Coventry, England. Jaguar Land Rover is among the fastest-growing for Jaguar Land Rover.
8.Aston Martin
With its market throughout the world, Aston and martin have influenced the automobile market. It was founded in 1913 by Lionel Martin and Robert Bamford. It too has also got a number of luxurious lines of the car.
9.Rolls Royce
Rolls-Royce is a British automobile maker. They have defined the taste of luxury cars by bringing out Rolls Royce in the market. It was established in 1998 after BMW was licensed the rights to the Rolls-Royce brand name and logo from Rolls-Royce plc and acquired the rights to the Spirit of Ecstasy and Rolls-Royce grill shape trademarks from Volkswagen AG.
Rolls Royce is a great brand, coming to the value and the brank it could be placed in the top 3 of the list. But with the brand, we also have figured out the other speculations.
10.Bentley
Again a British manufacturer company is currently owned by Volkswagen Group. It's a very old company and has refined the taste of luxury and speed. Though standing last in the list you cannot underestimate the value and its great features.
It has got a variety of popular lined up cars, thereby giving tough competition to the other automobile industry.
**Bugatti
A French high-performance luxury automobiles manufacturer and a subsidiary of Volkswagen AG is also top brand cars that are known for their speed. Challenging Bugatti speed on the roads is quite tough. Still because of the excessive price tag and the overview it wasn't placed in the list but its a beast.

I can't believe it's Thursday again! And this week's purple box is too fun ;-) I love RED lipstick! I don't really have a ton to say about this…and I feel kind of awkward but I'm just going to go ahead and post what feels like a million pictures of myself wearing red lipstick to show you how much I really love it.
Do you wear red lipstick? Do you opt for red red? Orange red? (This I still need to try, but I've heard it looks good on EVERYONE which I simply must test out) Pink red?
Somehow it feels old Hollywood glam fem to me, and I think that's why I wear it. Also, since I'm not really a make-up every day kind of person (5 days a week I wear Chapstick and that's it) I love being able to just quickly put on red lips and look immediately put together. Maybe that last bit is just in my head and my friends are letting me get away with it.
Okay, on to excessive amounts of pictures of me…. ladies read this as me begging you to start wearing red lipsticks for your engagement sessions/weddings ;-) then I could have used your pictures!
Okay now your turn! What's your go-to make-up? Do people even wear lipstick anymore?


I used a pressure cooker for this recipe but it is not essential. It just speeds up the process and keeps the chicken superbly moist. However, you can simply follow the recipe and instead of pressure cooking, just pop the mixture in the oven in a casserole dish and top with foil - cook for around 1 hour. Otherwise, you could cook the mixture on the stove top until the chicken is cooked through and transfer directly to your pie dish to finish off in the oven.
Heat a little olive oil in the bottom of your pressure cooker. Add in the carrot. celery and onion and allow to cook on a low-medium heat to soften for around 8-10 minutes. Add in the bacon rashers and cook for another 5 minutes.
Dice the chicken breasts into large bite size pieces.
Dust the chicken with a generous sprinkle of Simon Gault's Indian Spice Rub.
Pop the chicken into the pan along with your vegetables and bacon. Using a spatula, allow the chicken pieces to slightly colour in the pan. Tip in the butter beans.
Add in the chicken stock and cover the pressure cooker with the lid, and bring to pressure as per instructions.
Once it starts to steam - cook for 20 minutes (equivalent to 1 hour in a 180C oven).
Release the pressure and take off the lid.
Add the cream and cook for several minutes to thicken.
Meanwhile take a sheet of filo pastry and brush with some melted butter. Scrunch it up and pop ontop of the chicken mixture. Repeat until you have covered the top of the pie.
Place in an oven preheated to 180C and cook for 20 minutes until the filo is golden.
Serve with roasted eggplant tossed in Indian Spice Rob and ginger syrup and some fiery Indian spiced roasted potatoes - A PERFECT AUTUMN MEAL!!!!!!

Citizens can be excluded from council session when no vote is taken
NMU WASHINGTON Freedom of Information Sep 13, 2001
Judges say Lakewood City Council properly barred the public from an executive session in which its members decided with counsel to join in a lawsuit at taxpayers' expense.
The Washington Supreme Court in a 6-2 decision agreed with a lower court ruling that seven members of Lakewood City Council did not violate the state's Open Public Meetings Act when they secretly decided to use city resources to join in litigation against a citizen-sponsored initiative.
In a one-page opinion dated Sept. 6, the court held that the Lakewood council rightfully barred the public from an executive session where its members discussed pending litigation with an attorney, since the matters were 'benign' and would not likely result in adverse consequences. The court also dismissed a recall petition against the council members.
One dissenting judge strongly rebuked the majority's viewpoint in a nine-page opinion, arguing that the majority erred in its application of the meetings law.
The case stems from a 1999 citizen initiative, Initiative 695, designed to reduce automobile license fees and to require public votes on future tax or fee increases. Later that year, two Washington cities challenged the constitutionality of the voter-approval clause.
Lakewood City Manager Scott Rohlfs asked the city join the litigation. The council and Rohlfs met with City Attorney Daniel Heid on Dec. 13, 1999, behind closed doors. By the end of the session, Rohlfs had enough support from the council to join the lawsuit.
Several citizens challenged the council members' decision, calling it an illegal vote. Some also petitioned for the recall of the council members.
But the Washington Supreme Court agreed with a June 2000 trial court ruling that the petitioners failed to show a violation of the Open Public Meetings Act. The court held that mere discussion with counsel about litigation on its face did not amount to a violation, and the petitioners failed to present substantial evidence that an actual vote took place.
The court concluded that adverse consequences could have resulted if the public had knowledge of the closed-meeting discussions.

» Study: Renewable electricity could be competitive
Study: Renewable electricity could be competitive
Wednesday, 3 April, 2013
A carbon price of between $50 and $100 per tonne of carbon dioxide would make coal-fired and gas-fired power less economical than renewable electricity.
Associate Professor Mark Diesendorf, of the Institute of Environmental Studies at UNSW, said all fossil-fuelled power stations in Australia's National Electricity Market could be phased out and replaced economically and reliably with commercially available renewable energy technologies by increasing the carbon price to this "medium" level.
"This carbon price range is considerably less than Treasury estimates for measures that would achieve far less in terms of cutting greenhouse gas emissions," he said.
The results of the peer-reviewed study by an interdisciplinary team at UNSW are to be published in the journal Energy Policy. The researchers are Dr Diesendorf, Ben Elliston, of the School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications, and Dr Iain MacGill of the Centre for Energy and Environmental Markets.
To obtain their results, the team performed thousands of computer simulations using actual hourly data on electricity demand and matching this with hourly input from solar and wind power for the year 2010.
The simulations compared the optimal economics of a 100 per cent renewable electricity system with that of a hypothetical, new replacement, conventional system based on the more efficient coal and gas-fired power stations than are in use today in Australia.
All the technologies, both renewable and fossil, used in the simulations are commercially available now.
The researchers used the conservative technology costs projected to 2030 by the Bureau of Resources and Energy Economics.
"We found that the minimum 2030 costs of the reliable renewable energy system were achieved with a large contribution from wind power: from 46 to 59 per cent of annual electricity generation," said PhD candidate and lead author, Ben Elliston.
"Solar photovoltaic, and concentrated solar thermal electricity with thermal storage, were equal second in their contributions to annual electricity generation - typically 15 to 20 per cent each. Existing hydro and gas turbines burning biofuels made small but vital contributions by filling gaps in wind and solar generation."
Dr Diesendorf said the comparison of the renewable energy system with a so-called efficient system of coal and gas-fired power stations was done to get a feeling for the relative costs involved.
"The efficient fossil-fuelled system is of course completely unacceptable in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, as its emissions are only 19 per cent less than those of the existing polluting fossil-fuelled system, while the renewable energy system has zero emissions and uses much less water," he said.
"Despite the fact that most of the electricity generation in our scenarios comes from the fluctuating sources of wind and solar photovoltaic, the least-cost renewable energy systems as a whole were just as reliable as conventional systems.
"There is no need for any inflexible base-load power stations. We can balance fluctuating renewable energy sources with flexible power stations, such as hydro, gas turbines and concentrated solar thermal power with thermal storage," he said.
