The Monastery of Lepavina
(brief historical review)
According to an ancient Lepavina chronologist, the monastery of Lepavina was founded around the year of 1550, shortly after the first Serbian settlements had been established in this region. The almanac asserts that it was established by Jefrem Vukobratovic, a monk of Hilandar monastery originally from Herzegovina who came in concealment to the region looking for a shelter from the Turkish invasion. Having heard about him, two other monks came from Bosnia to join him. Learning that the land was very fertile, they invited people from Bosnia and the valley was soon filled with newcomers. It was then that a necessity to build a monastery to satisfy people's religious needs occurred.
Having learned about the intention, the Turks from Stupcanica, Pakrac and Bijela, led by Zarep-Aga Alija attacked the monastery in August 1557, burned it down, killed four monks and captured two in slavery. However, the idea of having a monastery as a spiritual center for the new settled Serbs was not abandoned. In 1598, Protomonk Grigorije of Hilandar, accompanied by two brothers of Milesevo monastery arrived and began to reconstruct the monastery together with the villagers. Due to uncertain times and modest means, the process of the reconstruction was rather slow. Proper conditions for the construction of the monastery were set up only in 1630 when the Serbs became an important factor in the defense of the internal Austrian countries by obtaining privileges and upon the arrival of Archmandrite Visarion in 1635. The Serbs started basic construction of the monastery Lepavina in 1636 under Archmandrite Visarion's supervision and despite all the difficulties the construction was finished in 1642.
In September 1642, Baron Ivan Galer confirmed the monastery's right to all the land that the villagers of Branjska and Sesvecani donated to the monastery. The approval came in special letters also from Baron Sigmund Ajbeslavd, Count Gvozden and Djordje Dobrojevic, Blaz Pejasinovic and Count Radovan (5 February 1644), Baron Honoree Trautsmandorf (10 July 1644) and Djordje Ljudevit Svarcernberg (23 November 1644). The life was finally ensured for the monastery. After that, its religious, patriotic and cultural-historical life began to flourish in all its fullness.
The history of Lepavina monastery is inseparably linked with the history of the Serbs in Varazdin Generality. From the time of its reconstruction and on, a severe and permanent struggle to convert Serbs into Uniate or Catholic Church was on. The struggle was also aimed at enslaving of the Krainian Serbs. Defending their faith and people's privileges (Valoharum Statute) Lepavina monks have always been on their own people's side, fighting and suffering together.
In 1666, they joined and suffered in a big Osmoruhovic's riot. In 1672 together with Gomir monks (all 14, none left) were caught, put in chains and shipped to Malta for life sentence. On 26/13 November 1735, the Prior Kodrat was shot dead on the doorstep of the monastery church. Patriarch Arsenije III Carnojevic spent some time in Lepavina by the end of 1692 and the beginning of 1693 - a spiritual center of Varazdin Generality Serbs. The Patriarch would gather people and priests there and go to visit nearby Kraininan Counts in their homes. The Patriarch's visit improved already existing reputation of the monastery, which was of a particular importance at that time when Unates were introduced in Marca. People's deputies often met in Lepavina with their patriotic monks concerned about people's troubles trying to find a way out of grave situations. For that reason, when the Serbs from Varazdin Generality succeeded to get their own Orthodox Episcope in 1734, apart from the Uniatic one, sitting in Marca without parishians, Lepavina was chosen as a residence of the new Episcope. Due to its geographic position [in the outskirts of the Episcopate and the Serb villages] it was ultimately decided that the residence of the Episcope should be in Severin. Yet, the new Eparchy was named "Lepavina-Severin" due to Lepavina's great importance. The first Lepavina-Severin Episcope Simeon (Filipovic) who died in Koprivnica investigative prison was buried in Lepavina monastery.
Today's monastery church was built in mid 18th century. The initiator was a former "protopop horvacki" and the parish of Pisanica Nikola Popovic, famous for founding a big and beautiful Pisanica church. As the then Lepavina Archmandrite Nikofor he was in charge of the construction of today's church. The finished church was blessed by Kostajnica-Zrinopolje Episcope Arsenije (Teofanovic) [who spent most of his time in Severin] on 25 March 1753. The church has baroque features outside, but the interior preserved many elements of the old Serbian-Bizantine style. It was renovated and decorated afterwards.
For the history of Lepavina monastery, inseparably linked is the icon of the Holy Mother of Lepavina. It dates from the beginning of the 16th century and is the work of an unknown author. The icon is reasonably believed to have miraculous healing powers.
The monastery church got a special value in 1775 when Jovan Catirevic-Grabovac, known as one of the best painters of Serb early baroque was making there an artistic iconostasis. The work was financed mainly by Fieldmarshallieutenant Mihail Mikasinovic joined by the other sponsors. To commemorate it, his coat of arms was carved under the icon of St. John with the inscription: "Mihal Mikasinovic Mr. Fieldm. Lieut." That was one of the best Grabovanov's iconostasis.
Unfortunately, the iconostasis was destroyed during the WW II. Only three icons are preserved, the two of which are badly damaged. Yet, they witness about high artistic values of this iconostasis. Some icons date from earlier periods, such as the icon of St. Simeon Nemanja, St. Sava and the icon of Assumption of Holy Mother of God created in Lepavina in 1647.
Besides iconographic monuments, particularly valuable are ancient handwritten and printed books. The two-quatrain Holy Scripts dating from 13th and 14th century are among the oldest ones. One Script is of Serb-Raska while another one is of Macedonian redaction. Both contain beautiful initials.
Lepavina is not only a guardian of delivered books and items. It is proud of being the place where books were written, re-written and reproduced. It could not have been different because the monastery was obliged to satisfy cultural needs of the Serb population there. The school was also located in the monastery. Not only monastery youth was educated there but priest-youth in general as well as the young men who after having acquired basic literacy and knowledge would enter military service or would continue to study in Vienna, Pozun or elsewhere.
All this has extremely raised the reputation of Lepavina monastery and inspired people to come in endless lines for great holidays and particularly for temple celebrations to pray to God and replenish soles with God's mercy that would give them strength to carry on.
The role of this monastery has been of utmost importance throughout centuries. It always shared the grave fate with its people and suffered repeatedly.
The hardest blow came during the II World War. Right after the occupation the fraternity was arrested and taken to a concentration camp. Protodeacon Joakim (Babic) was killed and the other monks were expelled to Serbia. On 27 October 1943, the Germans ordered bombardment of the monastery. The monastery buildings were almost totally destroyed and the church and konak were heavily damaged. The iconostasis and furniture were demolished and burned. Only a part of the monastery library was preserved in the remaining wing of monastery konak.
Owing to His Illustrious Highness Jovan (Pavlovic) who arrived in Zagreb-Ljubljana Eparchy in 1978, the Lepavina monastery started to gradually redeem its previous glow and significance. His Illustrious Highness to whom this shrine was particularly dear did not regret spare effort or time to recover true monastery life in it. The connection with Hilandar monastery was revived in 1984 with the arrival of father Gavrilo (Vuckovic) of Hilandar. Thus, the striving and effort of Mitropolitan Jovan was multiplied.
The World Council of Churches, Evangelistic youth branch from Wurttenberg and the Evangelistic church from Stuttgardt headed by the nun Ursula are also expressing a wish to participate in the reconstruction of the monastery. His Illustrious Highness absolutely facilitates their strivings. However, the war that broke out in 1991 prevented the finalization of the reconstruction and postponed it for some better times.
Contemporary spiritual life of the Lepavina monastery is rising again thanks to self-sacrificing work of the Prior Archmadrite father Gavrilo (Vuckovic). The five-member brotherhood together with the Prior by publishing a monastery magazine Put, Istina i Zivot (Path, Truth and Life) once in two months is trying to regain faith in the soles of its parishians and all those searching for a true spiritual life.

hard drive sizes
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_drive#Capacity Currently the biggest available 3.5" SATA disks are 4TB according to Wikipedia. Has anyone seen announcements of bigger hard drives? One of my clients has a zpool of 3TB disks that is at 79% capacity so it's time to start thinking of adding more capacity. Upgrading from 4*3TB to 5*4TB would be barely worth doing. But upgrading from 4*3TB to 5*5TB would more than double the capacity and thus be a better option than buying an external case for adding more disks. So I'm wondering whether 5TB disks will go on sale before my client runs out of space. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/

I do not remember whether RSX-11 had a "nice" but I am sure we did not use it in the first week of studies. I read a book about the internals of RSX-11 short time afterwards, it was a copy on a microfiche. It was quite difficult to get a hand on literature like this when living on the wrong side of the Iron Curtain. Regards Peter

In the first week studying back in 1987 they gave access to a K1630, three students at the time. They shared the CPU and 256kByte of RAM. When one started compiling the editing became slow, when two compiled the third student could go out for a coffee. When you were patient enough to endure it they gave you another challenge, a GD-80 vector graphics system from Hungary, looking like a radar screen and programmable with Logo and Turtle Graphics. After that you were qualified to use faster equipment. Amongst others we had two VAX-11/780 then, using Schneider PCs with a VT-320 emulation. The K1630 retired in (Northern) spring 1990. The paper strips were used for the carnival. That was its last job I know of. We just had a new building finished when the wall came down. The K1630 was already planned to stay behind and not to move into the new house - and the donations from the West (introducing SPARCstations, HPs, DECstations to us) were the final nail in the coffin. Unbelievable to find PDP-11s in use, here and now! Regards Peter

Intel processor confusion
Hello, Looking at these pages: http://ark.intel.com/products/codename/67456/Ivy-Bridge-E http://ark.intel.com/products/codename/29902/ What does "Formerly Ivy Bridge E" and "Formerly Ivy Bridge" mean? Are these 3rd generation/Ivy Bridge? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivy_Bridge_(microarchitecture) Or 4th generation/Haswell? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haswell-E Reason for asking is that I am looking purchasing a computer that is advertised as using 4th generation chips, and it uses "Formally Ivy Bridge E" chips. Which appear to be 3rd generation not 4th generation. I contacted the seller and got a response that confused me even more (they are based on 3rd generation Ivy Bridge E but released as 4th generation??), so just trying to work out what the situation is. Thanks -- Brian May <brian(a)microcomaustralia.com.au>
Boat people somewhere else
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-24380247 "At least 130 African migrants have died and many more are missing after a boat carrying them to Europe sank off the southern Italian island of Lampedusa." It is one of the worst such disasters to occur off the Italian coast in recent years; Prime Minister Enrico Letta tweeted that it was "an immense tragedy". The government has declared a day of national mourning on Friday. "There is no miraculous solution to the migrant exodus issue," said Italian Foreign Minister Emma Bonino. "If there were we would have found it and put it into action." The number of those arriving by sea to Italy this year until 30 September stood at 30,100, according to the UN. --- Regards Peter

She is warm and inviting. Her heart exudes a gentleness that is pleasing. Like a warm bed on a cold winter's night or the first cool autumn breeze after summer's vaporous heat waves, our hearts welcome the pleasant sensations of comfort.
She is graceful and merciful. We find ourselves drawn close to her sweet spirit and kind embrace. She comforts the hurt, loves the afflicted, and encourages the hopeless. She has walked in our shoes; her testimony of triumph inspires us.
As precious and gentle as her heart is, she toils and labors with strong hands. Her family is a priceless jewel she shines and treasures continuously. Her tender words are life to those around her. She plants seeds of goodness where she goes; acts of kindness are in the forefront of her mind. Selfless and humble, her heart looks to ease the pain of others.
When a smell reminds us of long ago precious memories or a sound of a voice brings forth pleasant reminiscence of sweet friends, the priceless loved memories we have of her are forever etched on our heart. We can actually say, I have a met a gentle woman – a Christian who epitomizes the precious gift of Jesus Christ.
The Bible defines gentle as the kind-hearted, the sweet-spirited, and the self-controlled (Matthew 5:6, AMP). Merriam-Webster's Dictionary describes meek as the enduring of injury with patience and without resentment; deficient in spirit and courage or not violent or strong.2 Our Lord – as He preached on the mount – was not condoning a deficient in spirit or lack of courage, Jesus of Nazareth encouraged His followers to represent His Father with His fruits. "Understand first that meekness is not weakness. It does not denote cowardice or spinelessness or timidity or the willingness to have peace at any cost. Neither does meekness suggest indecisiveness, whish-washiness, or a lack of confidence. Meekness does not imply shyness or a withdrawn personality, as contrasted with that of an extrovert. Nor can meekness be reduced to niceness.
In classical Greek, the word was used to describe tame animals, soothing medicine, a mild word, and a gentle breeze. Gentleness and meekness are, indeed, caressing words, but they also imply self-control. Aristotle explained that it is the mean between excessive anger and excessive angerlessness, so that the man who is meek is able to balance his anger. It is strength under self-control. He is as strong as steel.
Jesus said of Him, 'I am gentle and humble in heart' (Matthew 11:29). In respect to His own person, our Lord practiced neither retaliation nor vindictiveness. When He was mocked and spat upon, He answered nothing, for He trusted His Father. When He was confronted by Pilate, He kept silent. When His friends betrayed Him and fled, He uttered no reproach. When Peter denied Him, Jesus restored Him to fellowship and service. When Judas came and kissed him in Gethsemane, Jesus called him friend. And Jesus meant it. He was never insincere. Even in the throes of death, He pleaded, 'Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing' (Luke 23:34). In all of this Jesus, meek and mild, was in control. He radiated power.
Yet, when it came to matters of faith and the welfare of others, Jesus was a lion. He rebuked the Pharisees' hardness of heart when He healed the man's withered hand on the Sabbath. He was angered when His disciples tried to prevent little children from coming to Him. Jesus made a whip and drove the moneychangers from the temple. He called Peter Satan after the outspoken fisherman tried to deter Him from His heavenly mission. All of this came from Jesus, the incarnation of gentleness.
I have a friend who is gentle. Truly, her sweet spirit and kind heart are engrafted upon my mine. I have known Liliana for thirteen years. During a difficult post-partum depression, God sent me a meek and precious spirit to help me with my children. Our spirits quickly connected and we have been friends ever since. Whenever I hear this spirit preached or write about the fruits of the Holy Spirit, Lilly's heart always comes to the forefront my mind. God gifted her with this gentle spirit.
One of God's fruits of His spirit within believers is gentleness (Galatians 5:22-23). Philippians 4:5 defines gentleness as, "Let your gentle spirit [your graciousness, unselfishness, mercy, tolerance, and patience] be known to all people. The Lord is near." This spirit of gentleness maintains self-control and patience, bearing with one another in unselfish love (Ephesians 4:2). This spirit is exhorted with humility, kindness, steadfastness, compassion, godliness, and faith (Colossians 3:12, 1 Timothy 6:11). If you have ever been around this gentle spirit, it can draw you closer through a peace and rest in your heart.
Jesus' gentle hand, with His precious spirit, healed many. The blind, the lame, the sick, the demon possessed, the diseased, and the hurt were touched by a sweet hand that loved them. His touch, the compassion and affection within His heart, sent a warm inviting peacefulness as His spirit threaded through the body of the afflicted. As if a sweet liquid extended through veins, sinews and muscles, His spirit relaxed and mended, sewn and laced all the imperfections with the afflicted, battered, and bruised. His spirit of gentleness softly gladdened and uplifted the downtrodden and browbeaten. Jesus of Nazareth gently loved with His graciousness, mercy, humility, and unselfish perfect heart.
Christ allowed women to touch and gently love Him as well. The sinful woman washed His feet lovingly; Mary of Bethany anointed Him before burial with a sweet heart and her treasured gift of perfume, while the women of Luke 8 served Him with all they had. He never sent one of these gentle hearts away; never told them to leave and stop using their gifts on Him, nor was He ever rude and condescending to the women's hearts. He loved each and every one of their works of faith and sweet spirits when serving with their hearts.
This gentle spirit is offered to any Christian who has accepted Christ. This gentle spirit is a gift; a treasured possession we should be holding and cherishing. If we are engaged and immersing our hearts with this spirit, the moment we lack its presence, our spirits should be quick to inquire why. Have we separated ourselves from this gentle spirit with works of the flesh? Have we grieved the Holy Spirit's heart, "And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God [but seek to please Him], by whom you are sealed and marked [branded as God's own] for the day of redemption [the final deliverance from the consequences of sin]" (Ephesians 4:30).
The Proverbs 31 Woman was a gentle soul who opened and extended her hand to the poor, and reached out her filled hands to the needy. Helping those in need, she also gave words of affirmation and encouragement with skillful and godly wisdom; the teaching of kindness was on her tongue (v. 26). She is called blessed [happy prosperous, to be admired] by her children and her husband sings praises to her – Many daughters have done nobly, and well [with the strength of character that is steadfast in goodness], but you excel them all (v. 29).
She was a sweet, kind-hearted, and gentle soul who feared the Lord [reverently worshiped, obeyed, served, and trusted Him with awe-filled respect] (v. 30). This gentle spirit weaves itself through God's Word and through the lives of anyone who searches Scriptures. God's spirit of gentleness should penetrate our own hearts and minds drawing our spirits closer to His in a sweet embrace. I desire to be this gentle spirit, this Proverbs 31 Woman, and the women who Christ allowed to love Him. I desire character and an attitude of gentleness to glorify God and praise His name.
Our identity, this foundation we are laying, should include this gentle spirit. After coming from the world and into the Word of God, I can recognize a hostile, aggressive, abrasive, and proud spirit. It is the exact opposite of anything Jesus ever exemplified. Difficult to be around these types of personalities, I pray before coming in contact with hard-hearted individuals.
If you find yourself questioning God's gentle spirit, then I would begin journaling my thoughts to the Lord. I would begin praying the Scriptures mentioned previously and seeking the Lord's wisdom. I would also begin to think on the MSG's version of Matthew 5:6, You're blessed when you're content with just who you are – no more, no less.
I am thankful for Lilly's sweet heart and her gentle spirit. If you do not have a friend such as mine, or if you have never met this spirit, then I would pray to the Lord for such a friend. I would pray to receive the Lord's fruits and for Him to open your heart revealing anything that could be hindering you: childhood trauma, rejection, anger, unforgiveness, self-pity, or self-proclamations of doing everything on your own.
My prayer is this has planted a seed of good fruit. As we continue through the Lord's sermon, I pray you keep Galatians 6:7-10 in the forefront of your mind, "….for whatever a man sows, this and this only is what he will reap. For the one who sows to his flesh [his sinful capacity, his worldliness, his disgraceful impulses] will reap from the flesh ruin and destruction, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.
Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in. So then, while we [as individual believers] have the opportunity, let us do good to all people [not only being helpful, but also doing that which promotes their spiritual well-being], and especially [be a blessing] to those of the household of faith (born-again believers)." May God bless you and continually draw you near Him with this sweet, gentle spirit.

Il a été construit en 1931 et a été conçu par Renwick, Aspinwall & Guard .

Attentats du 11 septembre
Lorsque la tour sud du World Trade Center s'est effondrée le 11 septembre 2001, le 130 Cedar Street a été complètement ravagé. Des centaines de tonnes de débris de feu sont tombés sur le bâtiment. Le sommet du coin nord-est des bâtiments s'est complètement effondré sous les débris. Les impacts de projectiles ont également allumé des incendies, qui se sont produits principalement au-dessus du 9e étage. Des dommages causés par le feu étaient évidents aux 11e et 12e étages dans le coin nord-ouest. Le marché Amish situé au rez-de-chaussée a été complètement détruit et incendié, avant de déménager plus loin dans les quartiers chics. Plusieurs colonnes en béton ont été fissurées, peut-être à cause de l'impact. Plusieurs baies à l'angle nord-est ont été gravement endommagées par l'impact des débris  . Après les attaques, le bâtiment était inhabitable et a perdu tous ses locataires.

Rénovation
Comme de nombreux bâtiments du secteur, le 130 Cedar Street a dû être complètement décontaminé après les dommages qu'il a subis. En 2004, il a été annoncé que l'immeuble de bureaux serait transformé en hôtel, malgré les rumeurs selon lesquelles l'immeuble serait démoli .

Après de nombreuses années de revitalisation, le bâtiment a finalement été rouvert en tant qu'hôtel Club Quarters. Au cours du processus de restauration, sept nouveaux étages ont été ajoutés, ce qui porte le bâtiment à 19 étages .

Michael Jordan – become legendary – Maybe it's my fault. Maybe Jordan set the bar too high for these kids to reach? 10 scoring titles, 6 scoring titles while making over 50% of his shots, 31.5ppg 52% shooting as a bull, 33.5ppg playoffs career, 30+ 6+ 6+ career in the finals, 14 mvps (3 all star, 6 finals, 5 league), 30.12ppg career highest ppg ever. The greatest of all time, he could put the flash and moves on anyone, MJ was there to get the job done every night, he didnt accept failure. Others talk about how much determination they have, Jordan produced. The results speak for themselves.
But we're scared for different reasons.
I'm scared of what I won't become, and you're scared of what I could become.
I won't let myself end where I started, I won't let myself finish where I began.
I have something more important than courage, I have patience.
I will become, what I know I am.
This would have to be the most inspirational post I've come across in a long long time. As a professional female basketballer about to play her last season in Europe, and someone who's making big and scary changes in her career, this has come at the perfect time. I will keep this post saved as a favourite and use it to inspire me on my low days. I'm about to embark on another pre-season, and given my age, I've been doubting myself. Thanks to this I've automatically re-envoked my unlimited potential as an athlete, and also as a business woman. Thank You! And long live the greatest athlete, and greatest motivational role model for our children Mike!


When it comes to Sony, there's no news whatsoever that Sony is a true pioneer of Camera, camera lens and so on. It was only the end of October 2018 when Sony India announced a new camera in India which is just another part of the Cyber-Shot Line-Up.
The new SONY CYBER-SHOT DSC-WX800 is a portable high-zoom camera that is going to stand out as the "world's smallest body" of its type.
What the SONY CYBER-SHOT DSC-WX800 all about?
Even if the new camera is loaded with great features, some of its characteristics help it stand out. It comes with image stabilization with 4K video recording abilities and a zoom range from 24mm at the wide end up to 720mm. it comes with super telephoto thanks to the High Magnification Zoom lens.
The new camera features a Bionz X image processing engine and it has been available across all offline markets and various electronic stores across India since the end of October 2018.
Let's get a closer look at SONY CYBER-SHOT DSC-WX800!
The Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T High Magnification Zoom lens are going to sustain the zoom range from 24mm at the wide end up to 720 mm super-telephoto. It features a back-illuminated Exmor RTM CMOS sensor and 18.2-megapixel effective resolution. It takes image stabilization thanks to the Optical Steady Shot and also comes with Zoom Assist function that is going to let you zoom out from time to time. It can also display a wider area if shooting a subject at the telephoto end.
The SONY CYBER-SHOT DSC-WX800 is able to capture 4K movie footage with complete pixel readout and no pixel binning. It includes Sony's Byonz X image processing engine that works together with the front-end LSI, offering high-speed continuous shooting at up to 10fps and a buffer limit of up to 155 images.
The two cameras come with autofocus with 0.09 seconds speeds, RAW format image recording, eye autofocus and touch focus/touch shutter function. Its sensitivity goes up to ISO 6400 for low-light photography.
The camera comes with a black illuminated 18.2-MP Exmor RTM CMOS sensor and a 180-degree tilt able LCD touchscreen for easier framing the selfie shots.
Another feature that you're going to appreciate is the location data acquisition vie Bluetooth that is able to collect and record location data from a certain mobile device. The camera comes with Bluetooth support which gives transfers to smartphones or uploading to a website for a fast sharing.
The Bluetooth connectivity takes the Android devices that handle Bluetooth v4.0 or later, running Android 5.0 or later. It's also compatible with iPhone 4S or later, the iPad 3rd generation or later. It's able to perform shoot fast-moving subjects with high-frame rate HD recording at up to 100fps, for creating slow-motion sequences during editing.
What are the main pros? Is there something we don't like so far?
Apart from the fact it's only available in India offline stores at the moment, the camera doesn't present any important downsides.
Small, portable, reliable and great for so many situations, the SONY CYBER-SHOT DSC-WX800 manages not to disappoint and to deliver impressive performance for a lot less money that you'd expect.

Q: Dynamically cutting a div with Java script I would like to be able to cut a div  without forcing it's content to resize . (basically having all content below a certain point to not display, or cutting off part of the div)
Sadly resizing the div will still alow images and some text to overflow
Is there any function to do this with Javascript or Jquery
Any help would be awesome!

A: Give it a max-height and hide the overflow. For example:
.cutDiv {
  max-height: 50px;
  overflow: hidden;
}

Ottilie Wilhelmine Ernestine Henriette von Goethe (geborene Freiin von Pogwisch; * 31. Oktober 1796 in Danzig; † 26. Oktober 1872 in Weimar) war die Schwiegertochter von Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

Leben

Ihr Vater, Wilhelm Julius Baron von Pogwisch (1760–1836), stammte von holsteinischem Adel, die Mutter, Henriette Ulrike Ottilie von Pogwisch (1776–1851), war eine geborene Gräfin Henckel von Donnersmarck.

Nach der frühen Trennung ihrer Eltern war die Kindheit Ottilies von zahlreichen Ortswechseln geprägt: Lausitz, Triesdorf, Ansbach, Ludwigslust und Dessau hießen die Stationen, welche Henriette von Pogwisch auf der Suche nach einer geeigneten Stelle als Hofdame aufsuchte. Als Ottilie 1806 mit ihrer Mutter und ihrer jüngeren Schwester Ulrike schließlich in Weimar eintraf, stand dieser Ort noch ganz unter dem Eindruck der Kriegstage.

Zu den wenigen Fixpunkten in Ottilie von Pogwischs Leben gehörte die Beziehung zu der fast gleichaltrigen Adele Schopenhauer, die mit ihrer Mutter Johanna ebenfalls in Weimar lebte. Da Adele und Ottilie in Danzig geboren und ohne Vater aufgewachsen waren, verband sie schnell eine intensive Freundschaft, die erst mit Adeles Tod endete.

Nach langem Zögern wegen ihrer Bindung an Ferdinand Heinke gab Ottilie von Pogwisch endlich dem beharrlichen Werben August von Goethes nach, nachdem sie von Heinkes Verlobung erfahren hatte. Am 17. Juni 1817 heiratete sie ihn und zog zu ihm in die Mansarde des Goethe-Hauses am Frauenplan. Sie hatte mit ihm die Kinder Walther Wolfgang von Goethe (1818–1885), Wolfgang Maximilian von Goethe (1820–1883) und Alma Sedina Henriette Cornelia von Goethe (1827–1844). Doch die Ehe verlief unglücklich: Augusts Alkoholprobleme und Ottilies Liebschaften belasteten die Verbindung, die zudem ganz unter dem Eindruck des imposanten Schwiegervaters stand.

15 Jahre lang war sie die nächste Mitbewohnerin des Dichters. Die geistreiche Schwiegertochter entwickelte sich rasch zum Anziehungspunkt der internationalen Gästeschar des alten Goethe. 1829 gründete sie die Zeitschrift Chaos, in der neben Goethe und den Weimarer Freunden auch zahlreiche berühmte Zeitgenossen vertreten waren. Mit Ottilie wohnte auch ihre Schwester Ulrike zehn Jahre lang unter Goethes Dach. August starb 1830 in Italien.
Nach Augusts Tod lebte Ottilie weiterhin bei ihrem Schwiegervater, dem sie unter anderem bei der Ausarbeitung des Fausts (2. Teil) half. Obwohl sie sich gelegentlich von Goethe überfordert fühlte, gehörte er, den sie liebevoll "Vater" nannte, zu den wenigen stabilen Größen in ihrem Leben. Goethe starb 1832. Das Testament des Schwiegervaters machte Ottilie eine zweite Heirat finanziell unmöglich.

Der Schriftsteller Gustav Kühne erklärte Ottilie nach ihrem Tod zu Goethes ideeller Tochter, zum Vorbild des "Ewig-Weiblichen" des zweiten Faust-Teils; sie sei "im Empfinden ein Genie". Trotzdem zählt Ottilie von Goethe zu den umstrittensten Frauen ihrer Zeit. Ihre Unruhe, Energie und Unkonventionalität machten sie zu einer begehrten, aber auch verachteten Frau, die insbesondere nach Goethes Tod zahlreiche Verleumdungen über sich ergehen lassen musste. Vor allem nach der Geburt ihrer unehelichen Tochter Anna Sibylla (15./20. Februar 1835 in Wien), deren Vater der britische Captain Story war, mehrten sich die Gerüchte und gipfelten schließlich in der Behauptung, sie habe ihre älteste Tochter Alma getötet.

Nach Goethes Tod folgten Jahre mit wechselnden Aufenthalten. Neben Weimar und Italien hielt sie sich häufig in Wien auf, wo sie im Kreis um Karl von Holtei, Franz Grillparzer, Ludwig August Frankl von Hochwart, Eduard von Bauernfeld, Eduard von Feuchtersleben und Franz von Schober verkehrte. Eine tiefere Bindung entwickelte sich hier zu dem renommierten Arzt Romeo Seligmann.

Obwohl sie sich in Weimar nicht mehr heimisch fühlte, kehrte Ottilie von Goethe 1870 in die Stadt zurück und verbrachte ihre letzten beiden Lebensjahre im Goethe-Haus.
1872 starb sie an einem Herzleiden. Sie wurde im Familiengrab der Goethes auf dem Historischen Friedhof Weimar nahe an der Fürstengruft beigesetzt.

Priyanka Chopra Jonas has had several memorable red carpet appearances. And more often than not she manages to impress. The actor was recently honoured at the Marrakech Film Festival and she made quite a statement in a sari. Styled by Ami Patel, the actor was seen in an Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla sari. The cream colour sari was intricately adorned with sequins and was teamed with an off-shoulder blouse. The broad golden border certainly made it stand apart.
It was rounded out with bright red lipstick, filled-in eyebrows and accessorised with a statement neckpiece.

Prior to this, the actor was honoured with the Danny Kaye Humanitarian Award at the recently held UNICEF Snowflake Ball in New York. For the event, the Quantico actor had stepped out in a lovely red one-sleeved dress. It stood out for its asymmetrical hemline and the long train. The look was completed with hair tied in a sleek ponytail, red lipstick and dainty diamond earrings.
A post shared by Priyanka Chopra Jonas (@priyankachopra) on Dec 4, 2019 at 1:33pm PST
Acknowledging the award, she had written, "I am in awe of the tireless efforts and unwavering commitment of the people who work for #UNICEF. Thank you for allowing me to be part of this journey. To serve as your Goodwill Ambassador is the privilege of my life."

2018 Blues GRAMMY's Awards and a Token
Posted: Feb 01, 2018 Latest Blues News
(NEW YORK, NY) – Taj Mahal & Keb' Mo' accepted Best Contemporary Blues Album for TajMo at the 60th GRAMMY Awards on January 28, 2018. The Rolling Stones "surprisingly" won Best Traditional Blues Album for Blue & Lonesome. I just discovered an amusing and informative take from Andy Cush for Spin on the Stones win for, of all things, this particular album.
The ceremony was held at New York's Madison Square Garden and it was the first time in 15 years that the awards did not take place in Los Angeles.
Two Trains Runnin', with a soundtrack featuring songs by artists such as Mississippi Fred McDowell, Skip James, Charlie Patton, North Mississippi Allstars, Buddy Guy & Junior Wells, Gary Clark Jr., Chris Thomas James, Son House, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Robert Johnson, Bukka White, Mississippi John Hurt, Valarie June, Robert Wilkins and more, was nominated for Best Music Film, which is commendable and heartening, but did not win.
Best Album Notes winner was Live At The Whiskey A Go Go: The Complete Recordings – Otis Redding. Best American Roots Performance winner was "Killer Diller Blues" by Alabama Shakes. Bobby Rush's Funk O' De Funk (Smile Remix) was a nominee in the Best Remixed Recording category.
We congratulate all the nominees and winners.

Have you ever been discouraged in your home based business you are working?
Are you fighting discouragement now in your network marketing enterprise?
Do you know people on your mlm work at home team that are fighting discouragement?
Often, discouragement can be like a cancer that you do not know that is happening. I have seen this take so many good people out of this business. They had GREAT potential but yet, they did not stay on the business.
Well, to answer that, you really need to look at the REASONS why people get frustrated and discouraged. It is quite revealing how it happens, what makes it happens, and even how to over come it. But one thing I know- you CAN and WILL overcome it if you allow yourself to do that.
What IS discouragement and what prompts it in the home business profession?
It starts with an understanding of what discouragement really is, and what creates it, and then what to do to get rid of it, and ALL MLM Leaders need to know this.
First off, all discouragement is really and simply an emotion that replaces courage, or the will to continue. Discouragement has a "STOP" impact on all of us, and it stops us from moving forward.
And just like the negative and potentially poisonous words displace, distrust, or dislike, this emotion creates the opposite of what once was. It is the Silent, Deadly Thief in a Distributors life, and you must know how to handle it if you are ever going to build a great team. It is easy to do- if you know WHAT TO DO and what causes this emotion of STOP.
All discouragement starts with simply questioning yourself whether consciously, or subconsciously. Those deadly words -"Can I really Do this?" echoes in their heart and you really start to doubt you and your abilities and this alone can sabotage a career in direct sales. I have seen it too many times.
This is a biggie. RESULTS RULE in most cultures in the home business profession. You can eject yourself from this business with no results or at least small results that do not get any bigger. And all this starts with questioning YOU, your ABILITIES and TALENT, which sabotages your actions, which cripples your results.
This is done almost daily in this profession and it is a killer of results and even bothering to attempt any actions. It can be a de-moralizer, and a de-motivator as well. The new person does not yet have the skill set to build a million dollar business, but expects to, and when it does not happen quickly as they expect or have been led to expect, they think they cannot do this business. They CAN but they have to develop the belief and skill set- something someone forgot to tell them.
People start a hone business to Increase, Empower, or Improve something in their life. All Leaders know this. After you have been in a while, you can lose the Fire for your Vision, because slowly, silently, Doubt has crept in, created by distractions, or Lack of Focus, or lack of Empowering Relationships…growing into a Discouragement Tumor, then Cancer. And then because of the lack of Fire being fanned, it slowly….goes out.
Next post- WHAT TO DO to turn Discouragement around in your team!
These are 5 reasons why people can get discouraged in the mlm network marketing home business.


You may have noticed I haven't blogged for a while. This is why.
As chance would have it, my allotted post on revision tips has fallen on the eve of my first structural edit for book three. So, no better time to think through the process, and gird my loins for the ordeal to come.
Because publisher edits – particularly the first set – are something of an ordeal. And not just for me, it seems. Structural edits put the fear of God into most writers; I know cos I've been hanging out on social media long enough to see plenty of posts about the arrival of the 'dreaded' notes for a new book.

Last week, we attended and exhibited at the 2013 AIA National Convention and Expo in Denver, Colorado. The Mile High city, located 5,280 feet above sea level is a vibrant metropolis, full of excitement in the streets, culture and art, sunny skies, and an assortment of locally crafted beer.
We began the week by attending some important events such as the Building Science and Performance Networking Reception, where we reconnected with members of the Building Enclosure Council (BEC), while meeting new contacts who seek to achieve higher performance buildings.
The AIA National Convention brings thousands from the AEC community together to share, explore and connect ideas. This is Schock's third year exhibiting at AIA National, and this year's conference resulted in the most attendees interested in Isokorb thermal breaks. Many attendees claim they were looking for a solution to thermal bridging some years back, and they are excited to see a solution in the market.
We saw a great example of Thermal Bridging Architecture on the way to the convention center. They could use some thermal breaks.
We covered the AIA event through social media via Twitter, Instagram photo updates and a few vine videos. Our booth was a simple but effective set up, which included two floor models- the concrete slab connection at one corner, and the steel beam connection at the other corner. The floor models completed the explanation of Isokorb, with a visual conclusion to the story.
Seems Adam is trying to photobomb.
During the convention, we also presented the Executive Summary on the latest research by Morrrison Hershfield, Concrete Thermal and Whole Building Energy Performance of Thermal Break Technology for Concrete Balconies in High-Rise Multi-unit Residential Buildings.
Ebi handing out the Executive Summary to the Morrison Hershfield report.
In addition, we released press and a video on the installation at Chelsea Green in New York, and announced an iconic project, the Tower at PNC Plaza, which will include Isokorb thermal breaks in the 32-story building, in Pittsburgh, PA.
The team did a great job of managing a busy booth at the show, answering inquiries and serving coffee and treats. Many contacts have asked for a presentation of our course Structural Thermal Breaks for Canopies, Beams and Balconies. The team is busy contacting the leads and continuing to educate on Isokorb thermal break solutions.
All in all, the show was a success.
The week ended with a gathering of attendees to learn lessons in leadership from General Colin Powell.

Dave's Killer Magic Shop makes magic happen
Dave Lemberg has been wowing area residents of all ages for many years with his magic tricks
In 2014, Dave's Killer Magic Shop moved to its current location in Uptown Village at 1707 Main St., in Vancouver.
Dave Lemberg has been wowing Clark County residents of all ages for many years with his exciting magic tricks. But, his journey as a magician and small-business owner in downtown Vancouver has been one full of magic, too.
Lemberg explains that his passion for magic began as a young child, when he loved performing for families of neighborhood kids that he grew up with. He took his sense of curiosity and wonder into his teenage and adult years, and in the early 90s he earned both undergraduate and graduate degrees in science education and educational technology. In 1992, he attended a National Science Teachers' convention, and it was there that he saw how he could use magic to help teach people new concepts. From there, his interest in magic was rekindled again, and the rest is history.
Lemberg began performing in various entertainment venues as "Dave, the Magician Who Cares" and he started winning stage magic contests and awards for his tricks. In 2008, he founded an internet magic shop called The Magic Place. The site started to become popular and magicians in the area wanted to start seeing the magic in person, so Dave and his wife Gina decided to open their home every other Saturday night to give people a preview of the magic he had to offer.
"Soon, the magic was too much for the living room and putting it away became a pain, so we opened up the shop in the garage as a permanent fixture," Lemberg said. "We have had many great magicians to the garage, but as we grew it was evident that we needed to find a retail spot for our shop."
When their business name was taken by magician Criss Angel, they decided to open the business in 2012 and re-brand it as Dave's Killer Magic Shop. In 2014, the company moved to its current Uptown Village location at 1707 Main St., in Vancouver. The shop sells all sorts of novelties related to magic, in addition to fun magic tricks, makeup and costume parts. Lemberg explains that Dave's Killer Magic Shop is the only shop of its kind in the Vancouver area and that they really compete with the internet.
"People like to be able to look at and feel things before they buy them," he said.
Today, you'll find Lemberg still teaching high school chemistry in addition to advanced placement chemistry at a local high school, but he's in the magic store in the evenings and on the weekends, too. The shop also offers regular magic shows and magic lectures. Lemberg's future goals include increasing their online sales presence in addition to expanding their show and lecture list.
"Our store is just a fun store to browse in, as well as a great place for the new magician to get connected with the art," Lemberg said.

The project was an individual assessment for my MSc's Physical Computing and Prototyping module. The brief was to design and build a novel interactive physical interface prototype that addressed a concrete problem. The prototype must feature a micro-controller, sensing, actuation, and digital fabrication. This project, which spanned 2 months, addressed the problem of accidental medicine overdose.
Inspiration came when I fell ill, requiring me to take 3-4 medicines. Alternating between states of sleep and wakefulness, I struggled to remember when I had taken each medicine and wondered if I had waited long enough for another dose. I wished there was an easy way to ensure I was taking my medicine correctly.
Desk research revealed that others, especially the elderly, experience the same problem. According to the NHS, "the most common form of poisoning in the UK is from medication". In the US, many calls to poison control are from older adults who get their medication confused. When talking with students, I found that those who had experienced serious illnesses or had recovered from surgery had faced the problem. However, most students did not think that accidental overdose was a problem for them.
After reviewing research, I chose to continue with the idea of reducing risk of accidental overdose. Specifically, my design would address (1) taking extra doses due to forgetfulness and (2) confusing medicines with one another.
Desk research, discussions with students, usability guidelines, and personal experience were used to create design principles. Specifically, I designed with situational (dark room), temporary (drowsiness from medication/illness), and permanent (low vision / dexterity due to age) disabilities in mind. The physical interface should (1) make information accessible to those with impaired vision, (2) have a simple straightforward UI, and (3) communicate meaning through multiple senses (text, colors, sounds).
My personal experience and interest in RFID led to the basic idea to tap medicine on a reader to record doses. To expand upon that idea, I used sketching to visualize potential designs. Sketching was used throughout the design process to explore placement of components and integrate new functionalities.
The user's goal is to find out if medicine is safe to take. To map out how the user would interact with the device to achieve that goal, I created a user flow diagram. Several iterations were mapped out and revised based on student feedback. Changed included removing redundant steps / conditions and rewording messages for better clarity.
The final user flow began with a message inviting users to interact with the device. A user then scanned a medicine, which triggered a response indicating whether it was ok to take (based on time since last dose). After requesting and receiving confirmation from the user that a dose was taken, the device would create a timestamp for the dose.
Originally, there were 3 paths: (1) recommended time between doses has passed, (2) still need to wait, and (3) no previous dose recorded. After feedback, path 3 was consolidated into path 1.
Prototyping started with an Arduino, RFID reader + tags (to recognize medicine), and a laptop (to show messages and receive input). Next a display and buttons were added to allow users to input and receive information on the device itself. After that, lights and a buzzer were integrated to supplement the text output with audio and visual cues.
The Arduino prototype was developed in phases. In the first phase, a way to read and record dose time for each medicine was programmed using the Arduino IDE. Medicines were identified using RFID and variables for each medicine (tag ID, name, recommended wait time, time of last dose) were stored using a struct. Additional components were then added one by one.
The final form factor was the result of several iterations. I explored ideas through sketching, paper prototyping, 3D CAD models, and a functional foam core model. Once the design and dimensions were finalized, the form factor was assembled from laser-cut acrylic.
Prototypes were shared with students throughout the design process for feedback. This feedback, increased familiarity of component capabilities, and usability concerns contributed to the final design.
For convenience reasons, the prototype was tested with students using sample medicines. Testing consisted of short informal observations of users interacting with the device in a university-run makerspace. Users were observed interacting with the device and were asked questions based on their interactions.
Overall, users were able to interact with the device with little guidance. However, there were a few problems. For example, users often pressed buttons too early as they didn't realize there was more information on the next screen. This behavior made the machine seem unresponsive and distracted users from important information. To fix this, I decreased the delay time.
The final prototype was presented to professors and students at the Physical Computing and Prototyping module showcase. For the showcase, a poster and video accompanied a live demonstration.

In 2013, I achieved a Master's Degree from the University of Metaphysical Sciences of Northern California. After eight years and much prodding from my faculty advisors and my wife, I managed to get a Master of Metaphysics degree. I got letters behind my name!! But, I drug my feet pretty much all the way through the courses, and regret that I didn't commit into the study like I should have. Even now, my goal this year is to get my Doctorate and write a book spun off of the topic I have chosen, " Trance Work ". I'm working on it, slowly, and praying for inspiration and motivation, even now. My faults of procrastination and laziness, are what is holding me back, and I vowed this year, to "get out of my own way". It's my new mantra for the rest of my Life.
First of all, I, like everyone else, am an Earth bound spirit living in a physical body. That in itself puts up a red flag, in my opinion, to anyone calling themselves a Master of any kind. A Master, to me, is someone who has indeed Mastered an art, or a skill, or a calling and there is no denying they are an expert at that endeavor. They are the Divine Embodiment of God, in my opinion. "If I am so damn Spiritual", I thought, "then why am I still here, going through all the mundane lessons and trials and tribulations of a Human Being?" And I wondered, Would a Spiritual Master stay here on Earth? And if so, would he be like the Dali Lama or Mother Theresa, or even Jesus, and help the poor and sick with prayers, and miracles and healings and meditations? Or would he ascend into the Heavenly realms, and work from there? What is the Path of a Spiritual Master, and am I on it?
What is a Master? A Master is someone who has achieved control, mastery of all his thoughts, feelings and acts , and to achieve complete control of all of his or her thoughts, feelings and acts ,and implies the use of special methods, a special discipline and a profound knowledge not only of the structure of a human being, but also of the forces at work within him and the correspondences between his being (his organs and his several bodies) and the different realms of nature. To be master of oneself implies, also, that one is familiar with the entities of the invisible world and the structure of the entire universe. A Master is someone who has resolved all the essential problems of life, who is free, who possesses an extremely strong will and who, above all else, is full of love, kindness, gentleness and light. What a tremendous amount of work, and what concentrated study and perseverance it takes to become a Master.!
The power of a genuine Master lies in the fact that all his actions are in perfect accord with his philosophy. He is first to practice, in his own life, what he preaches to others; he is a living example. And to be a living example is to be a fountainhead, a spring to which plants, animals and human beings are drawn. This is why there are always disciples round a Master.
Now, that is my 'idea' of a Master. And of coarse there are many different and diverse opinions on this. There are also other 'qualifications' , on this theme, I am sure. In the Witchcraft field, Magick and the Art of Manifestation, for a small example. My thoughts are what is creating my reality. I KNOW this. This is true for every Human. And if that is so, am I, or should I, consciously believe myself to be a Spiritual Master? Wouldn't that be my Ego talking again? Did Gandhi or Buddha consciously think themselves a Master? It's like asking the question, "was Jesus a Christian?" I think they were just Being their Divine and Authentic Self.
Being a Shaman Witch does have its advantages. It allows me to have an 'edge' over other people, in that I ask myself the tough questions like this, and explore the possibilities of my eternal Self, while most mundane Humans are still sleep walking and never even consider themselves greater than the normal every day existence. And in today's society, the ones who do think and call themselves experts and Masters are living a phony lie, in order to feed their emotional Egos, and coincidentally their pocketbooks. Let's face it, how many Reiki Masters can there be?! And I have had several Reiki treatments in my time, with little or no results.
So, I backed away from the idea of myself being a Master of any kind, and just wrote down what I am doing in this moment. Instinctively, and intellectually, I know I have much more work to do. I may never achieve being a Master in this lifetime. It may take many lifetimes to even come close to achieving anything close to that. But there is one thing that I am sure of. I am walking the Spiritual Master's Path. Where it might lead me is anyone's guess. But after I have concurred my Self, I will be able to know the Way.

Extreme Bucket List Item: Bobsledding – ✓
Posted on March 22, 2014 by lesleycarter
The thought of actually accomplishing some items on my bucket list scares me to my very core. One of them is bobsledding. In Sigulda, Latvia the track is 1420 m; it features 16 curves and allows for a maximum speed of 125 km/h. That's insane. Who says, "I want to get into an open-aired vehicle and zoom down an ice track at 125km/h?" I couldn't leave it to the unknown though. I had to give it a try and see how intense it was for myself. Now I can say with firsthand experience it actually is insane. What a rush!
We arrived in Sigulda and toured the Sigulda castle ruins and I was promised a fun surprise even before bobsledding. Needless to say, I was like a kid on Christmas Eve. I was already crossing one item off of my list that day and now a surprise; heck yes! I love Latvia!
At the castle, I was able to try on medieval armor worn for battle in Sigulda. Then, we practiced warfare. Archery, axe throwing, and spear throwing were all part of the program. I beamed with delight. I love interactive experiences. What a treat to learn how to throw a spear and an axe properly. Not that I use those skills on a daily basis, but learning anything new is a great way to spend the day. The archery was my favorite; I could have practiced for hours, but my frozen hands disagreed.
When we left the castle, we passed the bobsledding track and I wasn't sure where we were going. We came around a turn and I noticed a massive climbing structure and I couldn't stop smiling. The castle warfare wasn't even part of the surprise, although I was totally impressed with it. The 120 m tower was set up like an obstacle course with different routes to the top. I chose the easy route, only climbed half way, and was still proud of my accomplishment. It was quite difficult for an inexperienced climber like myself, but if Darren had of been there to encourage and push me, I would have most definitely gone to the top. It's amazing when we can do with our partner's support. I'd realized just how much I missed him.
By the time I got to the bobsledding track, I was already overly pleased with the day. Smiling, I jumped in the bobsled and listened carefully. We were given instructions, with the basic gist of hold on and try to keep your head up rather than haphazardly flopping about, and off we went. Our ice rollercoaster took off like a flash and zipped down the track at unbelievable speeds. Just when I thought, "This can't possibly get any more intense," we were thrust into another turn. Turn after turn, my head and body shifted from side to side. The G-force was incredible. Keeping control of my head was no longer an option. It was being pulled down as if an elephant was standing on my neck. I noticed my helmet was against the girl's back in front of me but I couldn't lift it up. It was a whirlwind. Insane. Complete loss of control.
How do they manage to keep their heads up? How do they manage to be in control of their body movements? How? How? Please any true bobsledders out there I'd love to hear from you. You are a God with impressive talent and skill.
Yet another surprise, I was given the chance to try it again. This time I had even less control. I was exhausted in the end. Running a marathon would be the equivalent.
I got in the car and rested my head against the seat. Filled with adrenaline and excitement over my adventure, I was ready to eat. It had given me a new appreciation for the sport. I'll look at bobsledders with awe every time I see them.

I've always wanted to go bobsledding! What an adventure! On the Olympics, it looks so smooth and effortless, and I thought if I were to ever be a Winter Olympian, I'd be a bobsledder. After reading your post, maybe not! I don't think my neck could take all the jostling about! But it's still something I want to cross off my list 😉

For some reason, I've never heard the term "*extreme* bucket list" until now, but now that I have…I love the idea! Call it my all-or-nothing personality, but I think if you're going to even bother having a bucket list, why not make it as daring and crazy as possible? If you're going to dive, why use the baby spring board?

Archery is great fun. I have my own recurve bow, but don't get to shoot with it often enough.

Wow, That is definitely something that I would love to try.

What a great adventure Lesley. I never really thought about the amount of G force the bobsledders were dealing with in addition to controlling how to move while sliding down an icy hill. You are so brave. 🙂
The castle and the history are amazing to behold. Great shots. Keep up the good work, you inspire me.

I wasn't great at it but it was a fun experience. I bet younger, school-age, boys would really enjoy the archery as well. (And girls. It was one of my favorite parts of the day.)

"It signifies a lot of things": Kevin Durant Reveals the Story of Why He Went From #35 at Golden State Warriors to #7 at Brooklyn Nets on the David Letterman Show
ByNeha ChandeJune 11, 2022 0
David Letterman is on fire this season, which is noticeable in all his episodes. We have said it before, we will say it again that he is a magician. In one of his episodes, David interviewed an American professional basketball player, Kevin Durant, who opened up about his life, his game, and his struggles during the interview.
"It signifies a lot of things:" Kevin Durant reveals his story…
The opening of the episode is very much interesting. David had invited Kevin to his house and they talked there. The host jokes that he has to keep reminding himself that the Knicks are still in the league.
David followed that up with a question about Kevin's jersey number. Here at Brooklyn, he's number 7 but before that he was number 35. "Why change that number?" asked Letterman. Durant explained that when he had torn his Achilles, he wanted to step into this Brooklyn experience, feeling new and feeling fresh. He added that he knew his game was going to be different, and his body was going to be different. Moreover, all his favorite players in the league had multiple numbers. And the seven jersey looked nice in the black and white to Kevin.

David follows up by asking if the number selection was anything symbolic. "It signifies a lot of things," clarifies Kevin. "God rested on the seventh day, meaning that what he created was complete. Not that it finished, meaning it wasn't gonna continue to evolve, but he was done with it at that point," adds Kevin.
He had decided he will "keep sharpening and adding tools, and keep getting better, but my overall approach is what it is."
Who knew there was something this deep and symbolic behind Kevin's jersey.
Story of 35 then?
As David and Kevin talked about Kevin's game and his childhood, and how his mother was really the one who pushed Kevin to go out and play. Kevin admitted that now he gets her point about why she wanted him to go and play.
Kevin Durant agreed that his mother deserves all the credit but also added that he is here because of his godfather as well. Taras Brown, Kevin's mentor and godfather, taught him the game. He passed away at the age of 35, and that's why he wore number 35.
David Letterman is doing something here on the show, which is magical. We get to see Kevin Durant not only as a basketball player but also as a deep, sensible, and sensitive man who believes in doing something good for society. Have you seen this episode of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction? We insist you watch it and give us feedback here.

The dissertation comprises three essays on empirical asset pricing. The essays connect to one another as the corporate earnings announcement event is the key to constructing the main variables in the three studies. Essay 1 examines relative profitability of stock recommendations associated with analyst pessimism. Analysts are by definition pessimistic if their prior earnings forecasts tend to fall below consensus. We find that recommendations or revisions are more profitable when pessimistic rather than optimistic analysts issue them in the U.S. from 1994 to 2009. The return differential is around 4.20 percent per year for the stock recommendation, and 7.08 percent for the recommendation revision (to buy or strong buy), between the top and bottom pessimism tercile of analysts. Our finding does not result from the conditional pessimism measure of Hugon and Muslu (2010) or another ex-ante measure of earnings forecast accuracy. Essay 2 studies stock estimation risk and its implication on the cross section of stock returns. When prior information is of low quality, price change is often large on the earnings announcement date. We use the standard deviation of historical earnings announcement return as a proxy for stock estimation risk. We find that there is no significant premium to estimation risk in the U.S. stock market from 1978 to 2009, a result at odd with the theoretical prediction of Kumar, Sorescu, Boehmer and Danielsen (2008). In addition, we find that price and earnings momentum as well as forecast-revision drift is stronger among stocks with higher estimation risk, a result consistent with the notion that investors suffer from bias in processing information. Essay 3 follows on the literature's extensive use of earnings announcement effects to show informed trading of financial institutions. In this study, we use a measure of investment skills or informational superiority for mutual funds based on their buy trades. If a mutual fund buys into stocks that subsequently enjoy high earnings announcement returns, the fund is either skilled or informed according to this measure. From 1984 to 2009, this measure successfully predicts fund winners. The top performing decile of mutual funds beat the bottom by around 50 basis points per quarter. The measure shows persistence over time. We infer that the inherent investment talent or informational advantage of fund managers contributes to alpha.

Short Notes Of Chamari, The Man of The Masses
Jim Corbett Was an English Man. He was a famous hunter. during the British rule he spent many years in Bengal and Uttar Pradesh. He shot dead many man-eating tigers and saved the people and their cattle.
In Bengal he worked as a contractor for loading and unloading coal from rail engines. He employed many men and women. He treated them well. Chamari was his accountant.
Chamari, The Man of The Masses By Jim Corbett Summary
Chamari was hard working. His accounts were perfect even to the last pie. Every Sunday he used to pay the wages to the workers. The wages were high when compared to the wages given in railways. All the workers were happy. When Chamari came to that area, he was poor. He joined the service of Jim Corbett for fifteen rupees a month. Jim gradually increased his salary to forty rupees.
Chamari, The Man of The Masses Notes
Years rolled on. Jim was away for some time to take part in the war. He returned to Bengal after the war. One summer cholera broke out throughout Bangal. The workers of Jim also were affected by the disease. Chamari served them by turns. After a few days, he too, suffered from cholera. Jim went to see him. The condition of Chamari turned serious. He could not recover. He died in the presence of Jim. All sections of the workers attended his funeral. Jim was deeply indebted to him. he lost a sincere, selfless and industrious worker.

Challenges mount to the effectiveness of sex offender restrictions
Few groups are as widely despised as sex offenders, reported Al Jazeera America. Activities prosecuted as sex offenses vary by state, but can include public urination, consensual sex between teenagers, streaking, prostitution, downloading child pornography and rape. In some states, law-enforcement officials distribute flyers to notify neighbors of registrants' convictions. Some registrants are prohibited from using the Internet. In 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that indefinite detention at psychiatric hospitals — or "civil commitment" — of sex offenders is constitutional.
The first law requiring sex offenders to register publicly and for life was passed in California in 1947 and targeted gay men, according to Andrew Extein, executive director of the Center for Sexual Justice. But many of today's laws have their origins in the late 1970s, when feminists and social conservatives worked together to publicize high-profile "stranger danger" attacks on children, says Roger Lancaster, anthropology professor at George Mason University and author of "Sex Panic and the Punitive State."
Beginning in the mid-1990s, several laws went into effect that changed how sex-offense cases were prosecuted. In 1994, states were required to create databases of sex offenders. Two years later, Megan's Law, named for a 7-year-old in New Jersey who was brutally raped and murdered by a neighbor with two previous sex convictions, allowed states to make those registries public. States passed their own versions of the law; in some cases, they required that neighbors be notified of paroled offenders' previous convictions. Later laws moved those sex-offender databases online, created a national registry, required lifetime registration of people 14 years old and up and imposed harsh mandatory minimum sentences for crimes involving children.
But almost 20 years after the passage of Megan's Law, criminologists and judges, along with a burgeoning movement of sex-offender registrants and their families, are challenging not only the constitutionality of the laws but their effectiveness in reducing sexual assault. In January, a California court ruled in favor of a paroled sex offender who had argued that city and county "child-safety zone" ordinances prohibiting people in the registry from using parks, beaches and similar recreation areas were an unconstitutional form of banishment. In April, the state Supreme Court upheld the ruling by declining to review it.
Thirty-three states have opted out of at least some aspects of the law that brings registries online. Many, like New York, take issue with the 2006 federal law that requires states to list every person convicted of a sex offense on a public registry. Some, like Maryland, are considering removing the names of people who committed less serious offenses.

Q: How to call a function and print it within quotes? I would like to print two parameters of a function inside double quotes, something like this
def convert_to_currency(a,b):
    print (a,b)
convert_to_currency("$",350)

The output that I am getting is $350.
But, I would like to get the output as "$350".
How do I do this with this function?

A: For Python 3.6+, use f strings.
Since you are requiring two inputs, I'll borrow from @robert-axe response:
def convert_to_currency(a, b):
    print(f'"{a}{b}"')

convert_to_currency("$", 350)

Note the set of single and double quotes here. This will print the string with quotes. You can use a different currency symbol in a still.

A: You can use different quotes.
value = '$350'
print(f'"{value}"')

A: Or you could use backslashes to cancel out (disable) the double qoute, like this.
def convert_to_currency(a, b):
    print ("\"", a, b, "\"")
convert_to_currency("$", 350)
