Forget the sunscreen, not apply enough or nix it all-together thinking you wouldn't get burned? It happens to the best of us! Yep! Even Sicilian, sun-bathing beauties like me! I know, gasp!
If you're on a need-to-know basis with anti-aging products, one thing you need to know… is that sun damage is cumulative + irreversible! Meaning, it happens over a long period of time – not just one day of fun in the sun! There's no need to live like a vampire, but it's important to use skincare products that are made up of nutrient-rich ingredients that will promote healing, + nourish your skin, before, during + after exposure. Sun damage is the number one cause of premature aging in women, + it's the one of the only causes of aging that we can control.
Aside from soothing sunburn, many of these products are also good natural first-aid remedies, as well as for relief after Radiation Treatments for Cancer.
* You may notice that I've allowed an ingredient or two that I would usually try to avoid. In this case, I feel that these products have better ingredients, with more benefits overall than other comparable natural + non-natural products on the market.
What do you use for natural sunburn relief?
Hello, I lost my mother to breast cancer when she was 46 years old.
I became acutely aware of not only what I was feeding my body but what I was putting on my body. When I had my own kids I decided to make a moisturizing cream pure and natural with very few clean organic ingredients! Siglarr Viking Naturals….only 4 ingredients! ( less than Egyptian Magic). If you are ever interested in reviewing or trying my product please let me know and I would be very happy to send you some samples.

The publication of FED's minutes has made the markets to rush up. It is some surprising why this happened, as there has always been clear that QE3 will happen. I.e. the markets had to be prepared for every new information on it and not be surprised and ultra motivated.
But markets are not rational. Otherwise for more clever investors there would not be a chance to make money. The new QE3 promise was not surprising for some investors, they waited for it and had bought Gold at super attractive levels below $1600. Now profits are good.
Why the FED news was predictable? The answer is very simple - because of the end of year coming. What will happen at the end of the year? The ceiling of US debt will be raised again. Another flow of money will be needed to buy new government bonds to finance the gigantic US budget deficit. Some of this money will come from banks that will take loans from FED at almost 0% interest and give it to the government at 1-2%. But this will not be enough. FED will have to buy bonds directly, as up to now it has become a buyer of 70% of US debt.
So to do this FED must start the QE3. The excuse will be the need to stimulate the economy. The real reason is the lack of real buyers of US bonds and the need someone to buy these bonds. Otherwise the United States will go bankrupt.
In fact the real name of QE3 must be QE4. Going at the moment "twist" operation is de facto a QE. I.e. it is number 3. But the names have no big importance. The reality is that in US politics nothing changes and this requires more and more money-print rounds.
FED postponed for some time the announcement of QE3 in an attempt to limit the inflation pressure by using propaganda tools. But with postponing the announcement, the probability to announce it with every next moment increases. The QE3 must be announced, because the government needs money. I.e. with less time remaining the probability to announce increases. I.e. it becomes more and more profitable to stay long with Gold and wait guaranteed profits. But only for clever investors. Not so clever ones are surprised and thanks to them the markets skyrocket to bring profits to the clever.
Generally if this type of policy continues, it will not be a surprise if we see $2000 per ounce level passed before the end of the year.


The probability of a 35 year-old US man dying within the next year is under 0.2%, according to US Social Security Administration (SSA) data. For a 35 year-old woman, chances are about 0.1%. These probabilities increase only very gradually with age. Even a 50-year old man runs a mere 0.5% risk, a 50-year old woman just 0.3%.
But what are the odds, in any given year, of the detonation of a nuclear bomb or some other malicious nuclear incident that results in mass casualties somewhere in the world? Most experts put the odds at something considerably higher than the above probabilities. And that's after excluding the potential for accidental meltdowns like those at Fukushima and Chernobyl that have been, and should be in the future, less impactful on the markets.
Yet many 35-year-olds own term life insurance policies that pay off only at death, while giving scarcely a thought to how a nuclear incident might affect them. Now, of course, there are some differences. If you die a non-nuclear death, the outcome is quite clear: You are dead. On the other hand, if a limited nuclear event involving, say, a handful or fewer weapons takes place someplace across the globe, it is unlikely to kill you. But you better believe that you and the 99.9% of the world population that survives will care about the ramifications to the economy, the markets, and our portfolios in the aftermath.
Granted, it is impossible to predict the precise timing and financial toll of any nuclear incident, but the effects could be catastrophic. So the financial and business communities need to do more today, not The Day After, to prevent such events. They also must prepare the economy, the markets, and our portfolios to be more resilient should those prevention efforts fail. And flip answers like "Just buy gold" don't suffice.
The probability of mutual assured destruction (MAD) between the United States and Russia has receded from the Cold War-era levels of 30 to 60 years ago. But Western relations with Russia have deteriorated over the last several years. The United States announced in early February that it would withdraw from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty in six months if Russia didn't stop violating the pact. A new arms race is brewing between the two countries, made even more dangerous by a belief among factions on both sides that nuclear weapons with smaller payloads could be detonated in small-scale conflicts without igniting a broader conflagration.
The recent armed confrontation, however limited, between nuclear powers India and Pakistan should serve to remind the world that the region remains a nuclear powder keg. For North Korea, the bombast of 2017 has eased somewhat but the pace and definition of nuclear disarmament are unresolved and a tense or violent showdown could still ensue.
The terrorist threat remains. Various groups have sought nuclear arms and weapons-grade material in the past and will continue to do so in the future. Once such a group possesses the necessary nuclear materials, building a bomb is not especially difficult. Short of that, producing a radiological or "dirty" bomb is a much simpler task. And while the detonation of such a device would not create near the destruction of a proper nuclear weapon, it could devastate market confidence.
In 1980, US early warning systems indicated a large incoming Soviet missile attack, which investigations later found to be caused by a failed computer chip, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists. These are but a few of many near misses.
And the hair-trigger status of US and Russian nuclear arsenals neutralizes many of the safeguards against unauthorized or accidental launch as well as, alternately, a mistaken launch in response to flawed data. The increased potential for cyberterrorism targeting the command and control and power plant infrastructures only compounds such risks.
The financial community should take a page out of the socially responsible investing (SRI)/environmental, social, and governance (ESG) playbook and work to reduce nuclear risks the same way it does those of climate change. For instance, Christopher Bidwell of the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) points out that sanctions are powerful tools to bring bad actors to the table and companies (banking, insurance, transportation, industrial, etc.) have a duty to know their customers and diligently enforce sanctions. And investors should perform their own due diligence and ensure the companies they are investing in are acting responsibly.
More concretely and most immediately, market participants should use their resources to help pass the proposed Markey-Lieu legislation. This bill restricts the US president's ability to launch a first-use nuclear strike without congressional approval. Removing such a capability now should not be thought of as a referendum on the current president or his policies, but rather as a statement of the obvious — that no one person alone should be entrusted with such awesome responsibility.
Admittedly, building a portfolio strictly around a potential nuclear incident is ill-advised. At the same time, a nuclear incident could wipe out an overly leveraged or otherwise poorly constructed portfolio in a heartbeat. So there are some steps investors can take to protect themselves, which I discuss in greater detail in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. Investors and other market participants should also explore how to ensure their own and the broader system's resiliency. For instance, companies and regulators could expand the use of "contingent" debt/capital beyond European financial companies, where it is common practice, to financial companies across the world as well as into non-financial sectors. Should a nuclear or similar disaster take place, such debt could convert to equity or have its maturity extended and covenants relaxed.
None of these recommendations are meant to suggest that a nuclear event is inevitable. Rather, the point is that like a 35-year-old preparing for a 0.2% or 0.1% annual probability scenario when buying term life insurance, finance should do its part now to both prevent and/or mitigate the damage of this higher likelihood event.
For a fuller discussion, David Epstein, CFA, authored an article for the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.
David Epstein, CFA, has spent nearly 20 years as a research analyst on both the sell-side and buy-side, focused all across the capital structure. He has long studied nuclear risks and is trying to educate the financial and business communities on what they can do in terms of prevention and preparation. He has an MBA in finance from UCLA and a BS in psychology from Johns Hopkins. He can be reached at dmepstein27@gmail.com.
I don't think that's a good comparison. How much faith do you have in an expert's probability of a black swan event of this magnitude? There is a lot more data on the deaths of 35 year olds. Giving some thought to how financial mkts would react cant hurt though.

A house cannot be said to be complete for human occupancy if it does not have a roof. The worry of most people to have a roof over their heads is the absolute indicator of the significance of having a roof in a building. Roofs have an aspect of protecting in a house. It is quite therefore necessary that people select the best roofing materials for their shelters. This will ease the worries of the roof not being good and making it be more durable. The material is not necessary if it is not installed in the proper and right way. Hence it is important to contract roofing companies to help you in roofing thus guarantying you of the safety of your roof.
Roofing services are done by professionals. The experts have a better understanding of how to do it and do it effectively. The experts use specific methods in establishing the needs of your roof whether in new installation a roof or whether in repairing an existing one. Once this is done they advise promptly on what it is required regarding materials and even the expected cost. This helps in one choosing and preparing budget. The input of these experts in construction of your roof cannot be ignored. Following are some of the advantages associated with their use.
To begin with, they are more cost-effective. People working in commercial roof services have a proper understanding of this area. They are therefore better placed in estimating the cost themselves rather than you doing it. These experts will help you establish a figure to the roof you want. There are several types of roof some which are heavy such as use of clay tiles. But there are also other types of roofing that are lighter. Through their acquired skills these companies personnel can help you chose the best type of roofing for your house. Doing this helps you save money and time. The services offered can be said to be accommodating in that they will offer different packages that can one can afford.
The services of these companies will also include maintenance of roofs. Maintenance will mostly be common if they were not involved in the initial work off installation. That notwithstanding the roofs might wear out or need maintenance. Their services will help more in establishing the proper methods of repairing the roof and one that will be long-lasting. The companies that offer commercial roofing services can be easily found. This companies are relevant in that they charge reasonable fees for their services and also give many offers. To escape the hustles associated with the construction of a good roof it will be highly advisable to seek the services of commercial roofing companies.

Kinnear embroiled in N'Zogbia row
Man City will be hoping to follow-up their 3-0 win over Stoke in the Premier League back in October when the pair meet again this Saturday lunchtime.
Newcastle's season has taken another turn for the worse with manager Joe Kinnear accusing Charles N'Zogbia of trying to engineer a move away from the club.
The French midfielder, 22, was unhappy Kinnear mis-pronounced his name, calling him "Insomnia", in an interview after Wednesday's defeat to Manchester City.
And N'Zogbia reportedly said he would never play for the club under Kinnear.
"Sadly, this just smacks of a desperate attempt to engineer a move away from Newcastle United," said the manager.
"OK, I got a little tongue-tied, but if I had a pound for every time I've mis-pronounced a player's name down the years, then I'd be a very wealthy man indeed."
However, N'Zogbia's agent Franck Peslerbe insists that his client is not looking to quit and claimed it is Kinnear who is eager to get rid of him.
"I don't think any person would be happy with this situation," he told BBC Sport.
"Joe Kinnear insulted Charles at a press conference so now the direction of Charles is not very simple.
"It is hard not to react when you boss calls you mad. He has said it is a mistake, but he has not made any mistake regarding other players names.
"When you respect somebody you don't make this sort of mistake in a public situation."
He added: "It is clear what he meant. If he meant it as a joke, it is a good joke for Kinnear but to Charles, it is not.
"I don't know if he will play for Newcastle again, he is refusing to play for Joe Kinnear.
"He doesn't want to leave but Joe Kinnear wants him to leave, that is not the same thing."
N'Zogbia has been linked with moves to Aston Villa, Arsenal, Tottenham and Lyon, but Kinnear insisted he had received no offer for the winger who signed a five-year contract in 2007.
"There have already been plenty of quotes attributed to Charles during January, saying he is interested in leaving for other clubs," added Kinnear. "But the truth is we haven't received a formal offer for him."
Earlier, the Press Association reported N'Zogbia had released a statement saying he had played his last game for the club while Kinnear was in charge.
"First of all I wish to apologise to the fans for wanting to leave the club," N'Zogbia's statement read.
"However, having been insulted by Joe Kinnear, I will never play for him again while he remains Newcastle manager.
"The club are aware there are offers on the table and they should accept one of them."

Hey Dolls! Stripes are so fun to wear and I love that they're versatile enough to be worn with just about anything. I especially enjoy wearing them during the summer adding some edge and pairing with my go to staple wardrobe, my white tee shirt. With this look I paired pieces that I already had in my closet to create a new look.


I'm excited to join a new advertising agency – DraftFCB as their Planning Director in Digital effective August 13th 2012.
Whereas it was true that I was very much enjoying my clients and our work together at my former employer, JWT Canada – I've been interested in the opportunity we have in integrating digital, and in particular, social media, better with communications or innovative efforts. Admittedly, this is difficult when media, search, PR, customer service, etc are owned by different players and served by different agencies. I felt I was making terrific progress – certainly, on the Mazda business, we were constantly optimizing and integrating marketing efforts on a completely new level. Still – multiple P&Ls made efforts more complicated.
Michael Szego, VP of Integrated Planning and my new boss at DraftFCB spoke to me about the value of having the whole global agency operate under a single P&L. This isn't just a financial arrangement but a philosophy and operating model that supports true integration. Perhaps it is this integration philosophy that has played out in the floorplan.. at DraftFCB's Toronto offices – my new desk in a swank open concept office – is across from the media guy, kitty corner to a strategist and behind a creative director. And, might I add, just down the hall from the killer in-house cafe serving really good lattes for $2.75. Now wasn't that just the tipping point?
I am looking forward to working with some strategy heavyweights, to some pretty ambitious agency goals and earn the honour of working with a new set of clients – who I trust and hope will be as awesome as my past clients.

Thanks Morag – when is the next get together? I'll check out gmail.
LOVE your pictures on FB btw.
Congratulations! =D That sounds like the "Marketing in the Round" idea that Gini Dietrich was talking about at last night's Third Tuesday Toronto meetup. Integration across disciplines for the win!
Congrats Laurie on the new gig. Sounds like DraftFCB is going to fit you to a T.


Q: How often should I seal coat my driveway?
A: We usually recommend 3‐4 months at the earliest and up to one year depending on its use and the time of year of the installation. Generally asphalt is seal coated every 2 years.
Q: Do I need to be at the worksite when the work is done?
Q: How do I do a basic cleaning of my pavers?
A: The best way to clean pavers is to use hot, soapy water and a stiff bristle scrub brush. We recommend that you use a liquid, acid‐free soap. After scrubbing, wash the dirt and debris off with clean water. If you use a hose, again be careful to not loosen or spray away your joint sand. Pressure washers are not recommended.
Q: When should I run my pool system – and how long?
A: It must be run once a day in order to properly circulate and filter all the water in a 24 hour period. We recommend you run your system between 9PM and 7AM. In the summer months, we recommend running your pool 8‐10 hours depending on the size, and in the winter months, we recommend 6‐8 hours.
Q: Can hardscaping be done in the winter?
A: YES. Winter weather slows things down a bit but as long as we can excavate we can build.

How Google and Facebook Cooperated with the NSA and PRISM
Connor Simpson
The Atlantic Wire• June 8, 2013
Ever since Thursday's blockbuster reports from the Washington Post and the Guardian revealing the existence of the National Security Agency's PRISM — the government program that allegedly works with major Internet companies to collect (some) U.S. citizen data — tech companies have been fighting to distance themselves from the potentially privacy-violating government programs. The Post and the Guardian allege tech companies that participate in the PRISM program — Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, and Apple —offered the government "direct access" to their servers full of user information. "From inside a company's data stream the NSA is capable of pulling out anything it likes," the Post's Barton Gellman and Laura Poitras reported. Facebook and Google were two of the most aggressive deniers. But similarities in their statements raised eyebrows. Both Google CEO Larry Page and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerburg denied giving the government "direct access," per se, to their servers. That Page and Zuckerberg's statements were, when boiled down, almost identical to the point they seemed rehearsed with government lawyers guiding the pen didn't help matters.
RELATED: PRISM Companies Start Denying Knowledge of the NSA Data Collection
New reports released Saturday morning reveal Facebook and Google were telling something resembling the truth when they denied the NSA has "direct access" to their servers, and that the government doesn't, in fact, have direct access to these massive personal information treasures storing most of our modern day-to-day communications. Both The New York Times' Claire Cain Miller and CNET's Declan McCullagh have reports debunking some the previous myths about the way PRISM and the NSA interact with the tech companies who cooperate with their surveillance work. "It's not as described in the histrionics in the Washington Post or the Guardian," a source told McCullagh, who went on to say it's "a very formalized legal process that companies are obliged to do."
RELATED: Very Similar Statements from Facebook and Google on PRISM Still Have Holes
First, it turns out Facebook and Google weren't lying. The government does not have "direct access" to their servers. But they did make something special for the NSA to make obtaining the specially requested information as easy as a ransom hand-off:
In at least two cases, at Google and Facebook, one of the plans discussed was to build separate, secure portals, like a digital version of the secure physical rooms that have long existed for classified information, in some instances on company servers. Through these online rooms, the government would request data, companies would deposit it and the government would retrieve it, people briefed on the discussions said.
So the government doesn't have "direct access" to Facebook and Google servers, but there is a process in place so the NSA can request the information, and there's a special, secure place for them to retrieve that information. The NSA wants information on person X so they send a request to Google or Facebook. The tech company gathers all the information it has on person X and deposits that information onto the secure server set up for the NSA. Once the information is in place, the NSA accesses the secure server and retrieves the requested information. So the government doesn't have "direct access," or even "backdoor access," as has been implied.
RELATED: Why Facebook May Actually Have the Groupon-Killer
The servers are, in effect, the tech equivalent of a safety deposit box that only the NSA and the corresponding tech company can access. Miller calls it "a locked mailbox," that the government has a key to open. Or we much prefer this visual, if you want to be brutish about it: a locked briefcase full of intel left in a digital garbage can with the NSA swinging in to pick it up at a prescribed time. Just like in the movies.
RELATED: How Microsoft and Yahoo Sell You to Politicians
How other tech companies linked to PRISM ended up cooperating is unclear at this time. Twitter is only one who bristled at the government's request to make the handing-over of information easier. How Microsoft, Yahoo, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, and Apple all operate with the NSA is still unknown. In some instances NSA agents would be stationed at a tech companies' office and would remain "at the site for several weeks to download data to an agency laptop," Miller writes. Occasionally the government would request data in real time, "which companies send digitally," she reports. But this brings us to an important legal point.
RELATED: While Google's Eating Apple's Lunch, Facebook Is Feasting
These tech companies have no choice but to fork over the information when the NSA came calling. "The companies were legally required to share the data under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act," Miller reminds us. But building the special secure server used for dumping information for the NSA was going above and beyond the legal call of duty. Still, it's important to remember these companies had no choice but to hand over the requested information once the government went through the proper channels, as McCullugh explains:
The legal process, the person said, is akin to how law enforcement request information in criminal investigations: the government delivers an order to obtain account details about someone who's specifically identified as a non-U.S. individual, with a specific finding that they're involved in an activity related to international terrorism. Both the contents of communications and metadata, such as information about who's talking to whom, can be requested.
The tech companies also do their due diligence before handing over all of the requested information, too. Lawyers look over the government document before anything is handed over. "It is not sent automatically or in bulk, and the government does not have full access to company servers," Miller reports.
Miller also offers a new reason why the initial denials proved to be false. The PRISM and the FISA request system is a lot like Fight Club. The first rule is you're not allowed to talk about your PRISM and FISA work, even with your own coworkers, who have no idea you fork information to the government at their beck and call, lest you break federal laws (emphasis ours):
Tech companies might have also denied knowledge of the full scope of cooperation with national security officials because employees whose job it is to comply with FISA requests are not allowed to discuss the details even with others at the company, and in some cases have national security clearance, according to both a former senior government official and a lawyer representing a technology company.
So, yes, some people at Facebook and Google probably have national security clearance. That's coming from both sides of this scandal. On any other day, we would crack wise about how Eric Schmidt having level seven security clearance is, but it still seems too soon for that.

Q: How to create a D-Cocoa Port? I am planning to use D for creating native applications on Mac OS X. For that, of course, D must interact with the Cocoa API. I have no knowledge of how this bindings could be done. I've already looked at Cocado and do know the Michel Fortin's D-ObjC bridge, and would like to be enlightened about some details:

*

*What is their (or any other possible) approach of porting Cocoa to D? — here I essentially ask for technical reading sources (books/articles/references, etc);

*Is it possible to establish an ABI compatibility with ObjC directly or through the C ABI? — There's a question on stackoverflow where the answers describe what could be achieved with Objective-C's Runtime Reference;

*Is it feasible to make this kind of stuff work nicely and get the level of performance and stability like, e.g., with Qt framework on Mac OS X?
I have no experience at all in this field so forgive me any technical faults. Any help would be appreciable.
Thanks in advance for your responses.

A: *

*what most ports of Cocoa ports will do is translate the .h into .di and provide a thin wrapper and general utils,
this will possibly include some syntactic sugar through the opDispatch(string sel,A...)(A args) overload that will translate obj.call1(arg1).call2(arg2) to the correct obj_msgsend(obj.ptr,NSSelectorFromString(sel),args) calls

*it is possible through the C ABI you can read more about that in the D spec

*sure it's possible however many things that the Obj. C compiler can check the D compiler cannot check requiring unittests to find those

A: I've got a more detailed answer to this question on the dlang.org forum from Jacob Carlborg.

– this is as far south as you can get in Sweden!
Enjoy the sun, breeze and salty sea splashes against your cheek. Experience the feeling of freedom when you gaze out towards the unbroken horizon. Pay a visit in autumn when blazing sunsets take your breath away. Or see how the winter magic takes over and transforms parts of Smygehuk to an artwork of ice and snow. Follow the seasons on the southern tip of Sweden. Well worth a visit year round!
East of the harbour there is a coign of vantage that marks the exact spot of Sweden's southernmost point. A compass card etched into the paving stones shows the distances to various international destinations.
The Merchant's Store was built at the beginning of the 19th century and was one of four trading posts in the vicinity of Smyge harbour. Rumour has it that the store was used as a smugglers' den during the Napoleonic war. Even today the store is a constant reminder of the hey-days of the maritime era but in modern times the store houses art and handicraft exhibitions and a café.
It is rumoured that the American actress Uma Thurman's grandmother modelled for Axel Ebbe's sculpture Famntaget. Famntaget is located in the harbour of Smygehuk, where with her hair swaying in the wind and her face turned towards the warming sun she embraces the sea and lets the fresh sea air fill her lungs.
Limestone has been quarried in the area of Smygehamn for many a year and the countryside still shows traces of the quarrying. Industrial limestone quarrying and burning probably began around 1860. The operations were phased out in 1954 due to poor profitability. The limestone was used for mortar and render, to white-wash houses and even during sugar production. The burning was done in the so-called dome-shaped kilns for periodic operations. In total 10 kilns were in operation. Nine of the kilns have been preserved, the oldest of these is from the mid 19th century, built by German, Herman Wendt it lies between the harbour and the Merchant's Store. The remaining kilns can be found to the north of Smygehamn.
The area around the harbour has been inhabited since times immemorial. The small fishing hamlet that gave rise to Smygehamn has existed here since the 17th century. Smyge fishing hamlet was first inhabited in 1877 by 16 fishermen. In 1962, there were about 35 fishermen plying their trade in seven large boats from Smyge. The harbour, built in the 1920s, was originally a limestone quarry. Now it is one of the 3 marinas in the municipality. Previously, the ships anchored off the coast, and were loaded and unloaded by barges from the long stone jetties. To the west of the harbour you can find small fishing huts or 'Hodder', as they are called here, where the fishermen keep their nets. There is also a popular smokehouse here.
Natural plant and animal life around the headland is characterised by the calcareous land. On the beach, there are a multitude of smooth stones, washed up from the calcareous bedrock. You can also find fossils, which are petrified remains of sea urchins that lived almost 100 million years ago. Plants that thrive in the calcareous soil are the species Burnet Saxifrage, Greater Knapweed and Armeria Maritima. North of the harbour is marshland where the Western Marsh Orchid and Early Marsh Orchid thrive. In the marshes you can find newts, frogs and toads as well as the heavily endangered sea toad. In the coastal meadows between Böste and Smyge harbour there is a unique population of vipers, probably the only remaining ones along the south coast of Scania. Vipers are a protected species.
Smygehuk tourist information – Smygetorp is located in the harbor.
Skånetrafikens bus nr. 190 stops in Smygehuk.
A public toilet building is centrally located in the area. The toilets are free of charge and the building contains 4 wc and 1 HCP-WC. There is also the possibility of emptying latrine. The toilets are not open 24 hours a day.
There are 5 different dining options in the area. Everything from smoked fish to ice cream.
Parking at Smygehuk is very limited! These are your options if you want to leave your car at home.
-Local bus ( yellow) line 190.
-Bicycle road along the coastline.


What we can learn from the best restaurant in the world, NOMA! Not just about great food – but how to develop our companies.
Noma has once again been named best restaurant in the world – and most of us probably envy Chef René Redzepi for what he has achieved. But what is his secret? What exactly has he done?
He talked about this in a documentary I watched recently. He told his staff a short story, which I also think you will find interesting and inspiring.
He talks about a nature programme he once watched about gorillas in Africa, and about how we actually share 98 per cent of the same genes. In other words, there is only a 2 per cent difference – but it's that 2 per cent that makes a world of difference. This is exactly what he wanted to communicate to his staff – how they can find the 2 per cent that means they won't make mediocre food but world-class gastronomy.
So what about your staff and your company? What will it take for you to find those two per cent that mean your customers aren't just content but happy customers who will recommend you?

Assault On Our Youth: Jessica Chambers' Plight
Bradford Hanson 2014-12-26
Bradford Hanson · 26 December, 2014
The sadistic way in which Jessica Chambers (pictured) was murdered serves as a wake-up call to all of us: Just what type of society makes its young women literally fend for themselves in the nightmare multiracial landscape they're forced to inhabit?
by Michael Olanich
OVER THE PAST few weeks, the controlled mass media have been saturated with wall-to-wall coverage of the decision of a Missouri grand jury not to indict a White police officer who killed a Black thug, Michael Brown, in self-defense. Shortly thereafter we were saturated with reports and headlines that can only be described as incitement to encourage Black violence. Well, the media owners got their wish — Blacks promptly rioted and set ablaze the town of Ferguson, MO, for at least 24 hours – with what seemed like the sympathy if not the approval of the regime in Washington.
Other stories — of murders far more horrific than what happened to Michael Brown — receive little or no attention from the mass media. Only a relative few have heard, for example, about the atrocious murder of a 19-year-old White teenager, Jessica Chambers, which took place in Mississippi on the evening of December 6th. The latest National Alliance American Dissident Voices broadcast gives an in-depth analysis of what happened on that fateful day. Jessica Chambers' killer poured lighter fluid or some similar substance into Jessica's throat and then set her on fire. She died of her wounds. Before she died, she named her killer, and if the largely-suppressed reports on social media are true, her attacker was a Black male "boyfriend," one of several that Jessica was involved with during her short life.
Pictures of Jessica Chambers were released and shared online after her death, which included her high school yearbook portrait (pictured above). Judging from this photo, Jessica was an attractive blonde, blue-eyed, seemingly All-American young White woman, who looked like she could have been one of our daughters, sisters, or nieces. What happened to her is all too common in today's America. Literally thousands of parents have lost loved ones in a similar manner — but such occurrences do not receive the media attention they deserve. No longer must one search for stories from South Africa or Zimbabwe to read the chilling, gruesome ways in which our people are being slaughtered.
Other Facebook pictures shared online consisted of various cell-phone images, including one "selfie" showing Jessica kissing a Black male with whom she'd had a "relationship."
Living in a city myself, I've had the misfortune of witnessing many interracial couples walking about in public — evidence of a not-so-subtle and constant sexual war being waged on us by the Jewish-controlled media. Jessica Chambers is the most recent casualty in that war, a war which threatens our very existence as a people.
Jessica's parents are grieving. Her father, Ben Chambers, has vowed "to find her killers" and have them put in "solitary confinement." I hope he showed this passion and concern for Jessica when she was alive. I hope he told her that her life was in grave danger every time she socially interacted with non-Whites and the gangs they brought to the area. Jessica's father has been and still is employed by the Sheriff's department in Panola county. It's unclear whether he ever served in uniform, but working there doubtless gave him some understanding of the violent, dangerous, and criminal behavior of the Blacks in his county. I hope he warned and instructed his daughter to never, ever socialize with these non-Whites — to say nothing of allowing them to be involved with her sexually. Whether he irresponsibly didn't warn her — or if he did warn her, and the warning didn't "take" — the result is a tragedy beyond words.
White Americans must learn the lessons this horrific crime teaches.
The neighborhood where Jessica Chambers lived and grew up is majority non-White now. It's been turned into a sewer where Black gangs flourish and drug-dealing seems to be the norm. "White flight" is simply not an option for many of us who must continue to live near family or work. I'm sure the diversity mongers are quite proud of the wrecking job they have imposed on Panola County, Mississippi. Their racial "experiment" has led — as was intended — to a social atmosphere in which young White women are willing to bed down with Black "gangstas." Make no mistake, the group that dominates America's media wants to make every White town and every White neighborhood into more or less what Panola County has become.
Whites who live in majority non-White areas are definitely at much higher risk of being assaulted or killed. And children of White families who grow up in such environments often "adjust" or assimilate into the Black or Mestizo crime culture that surrounds them. Programmed to believe that White girls are greatly attracted to Black gangsters, White sons grow up and join Black gangs — and act as if they are Black themselves. White daughters grow up, give their bodies to the "gangstas," and become drug addicts — as was the case with Jessica Chambers. Many other White youth neither fit in with, or resist, the gang subculture. They become alienated and stripped of any community spirit, leaving them open to the danger of developing one or more of the psychopathologies that can arise from living in such an isolated, individualistic way, cut off from any natural sense of community or belonging.
The National Alliance seeks to instill a new morality and spirituality — and build a new sense of community — among our people. We seek to unite thinkers, poets, fighters, and most importantly, leaders in every sense of the word — so we may one day build a healthy society, one in harmony with the values inherent in our race-soul.

Jessica didn't die. this is why the marshalls were down there. this is why no one cares about this case in the media, nor her family, friends, etc.
She is in witness protection. At least that is what almost all of the known facts line up with.
Thomas Plaster
Coal burner got burned. Simple as that. Yeah, there were years and decades of (jew dominated) media brainwashing. So what? Many of us Whites in America have been forced to interact with negroes and have witnessed their savagery and other bad behavior and not fallen for the brainwashing. And that includes youngsters in early school years. Without any parental warning we learned not to get too involved with them.

News Spirits Back to list
Wray & Nephew President's Reserve breaks auction record
Category: Spirits
The bottle, the fourth of 12 bottles created, went on sale in Whisky Auctioneer's inaugural Rum Auction last month. It set a new world record for an individual bottle of rum sold at auction.
Described as one of the world's rarest rums, the J. Wray & Nephew President's Reserve honours US president Ronald Reagan's first and only visit to Jamaica in April 1982.
It is comprised of rum laid down in 1906 from the Mona Estate in Jamaica, with the bottle label bearing the seal of the US president.
The bottle attracted more than 50 bids from across the world, with the winning bid coming from Italy.
Iain McClune, director at Whisky Auctioneer, said: "We had high hopes for this stunning bottle but with so little sales history to reference it was difficult to predict how it might perform.
"I think it is fair to say that it has exceeded expectations, however, the price achieved is more than deserving considering the historical significance and incredible rarity of this rum."
According to Perth-based Whisky Auctioneer, it is believed that two bottles were gifted to Reagan with further bottles given to dignitaries and industry professionals in attendance during the visit.
The bottle is thought to be the only known example to have come into the secondary market, with another bottle previously selling for £1,213 (US$1,542) at a Bonhams auction in New York in 2013.
A representative from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum said: "The first family received this wonderful gift commemorating their trip to Jamaica in April 1982.
"The bottle that we have is #1 and bears the Great Seal of the United States. The current locations of the remaining bottles are not known."
The President's Reserve was one of more than 600 rums being sold in the auction, which also saw a pair of Caroni casks fetch £25,000 (US$31,793) each. The online auction ran from 10 May to 20 May.
"The record price is a testament to the current interest in rare and collectible rums," added McClune.
"Our inaugural Rum Auction has been well-timed to meet this demand and we are excited to see how our future rum auction plans help to nurture and grow what is fast becoming a worldwide movement

Why New York City has gone Styrofoam-free
January 22, 2019 Renee Shur Cities, Environment, Food Leave a comment
It's official. Six years and two lawsuits after then-Mayor Michael Bloomberg first proposed a ban on plastic-foam products, New York City is now a polystyrene- (or Styrofoam- as it's more commonly called) free zone. New York City's ban includes all single-use Styrofoam coffee cups, soup bowls, plates, trays, and clamshell-style take-out cartons, as well as packing peanuts.
If you're in the camp that thinks that a Styrofoam ban is nothing more than a tree hugger's dream come true, think again. For New York City, which generates more than 14 million tons of trash each year with a tab of more than $2.3 billion for trash collection and disposal, the ban is an economic imperative.
It's not just New York
As of 2019, the Big Apple joins a group of environmentally committed and financially challenged municipalities and counties across the country where Styrofoam already is officially banned—among them, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Miami Beach, Minneapolis, Portland, Oregon, and Seattle. In California, more than eighty cities, towns, and counties are full in on the ban, with more to come. And that's not all. A host of other major cities, like Chicago, Boston, Honolulu, and Philadelphia, as well as smaller cities and towns in red, blue, and purple states, currently are considering bans.
If you're thinking this sounds like a movement that's gathering momentum, you wouldn't be far off the mark. You'd also be correct to assume that the road to Styrofoam-free zones has generated considerable pushback, particularly in the food industry. After all, a ban on Styrofoam packaging will dramatically alter how restaurants and street food vendors serve food to the public. In places where the ban is in place, food purveyors will now be required to use biodegradable, environmentally friendly containers. And although biodegradable take-out containers are cheaper than ever, they're still more costly than containers manufactured from traditional Styrofoam.
How much more costly is the question. Let's look at the facts. On average, Styrofoam cups cost $25 per 1,000. Biodegradable cups cost approximately $100 for 1,000. For a business that uses 1,000 cups per year, the additional cost is $75 per year. For green take-out containers, the additional cost to businesses is approximately $140 per year on a count of 1,000.
On the other side of the spreadsheet are some troubling facts. First, there's the issue of disposal. Styrofoam products, manufactured from non-renewable fossil fuels and toxic chemicals, take a minimum of 500 years to biodegrade. Think about that. Then there's the fact that 99.8% of Styrofoam products end up either in landfills or in the oceans where they sicken or poison wildlife. And did you know that Styrofoam products now account for an astonishing 30% of all of the waste in U.S. landfills? One estimate captures the scale of the problem on the micro level: One individual purchasing a disposable cup of coffee every day generates approximately 23 pounds of waste per year.
Second, there are potentially harmful health issues that have flown under the radar for far too long. It's been known for many years that as polystyrene comes into contact with hot, greasy, or acidic foods, the chemicals and toxins used in the plastics' manufacture can leach into the food we ingest and the hot beverages we drink. Five years ago, in 2014, the National Research Council stepped up and sounded the alarm by signing off on the National Toxicology Program's conclusion that polystyrene should be listed as a human carcinogen.
Economics, health, and the environment. All will be positively impacted by the commitment of communities—large and small—across the country to ban single-use Styrofoam products. And in case we've forgotten, this is what commonsense, fact-based, and responsible governance looks like.
If you're interested in learning more about the health issues concerning polystyrene, a good place to start is to take a look at the information provided by Safer Chemicals Healthy Families, a coalition representing 450 organizations and businesses and more than eleven million parents and professionals who share the goal of educating the public about health issues related to toxic chemicals.

Internal Revenue Code section 280E, denying deductions for marijuana businesses other than cost of goods sold, is working. Not only does it pinch businesses, it does so in a fortuitous way.
Section 280E is arguably working better than a flat, untargeted excise tax like our taxes on alcohol and tobacco: The public has an interest in not promoting marijuana consumption, and section 280E it makes all advertising and marketing expenses – even point-of-sale displays — nondeductible. Those expenses do not qualify as deductible cost of goods sold. 280E penalizes selling expenses, while not penalizing production expenses. So Bravo.
A Brookings study by Stuart Taylor released today says this: "Federal tax laws disallowing business expense deductions for sales of federally banned substances make it hard for state-licensed marijuana businesses to make profits." Well, that's the point of a tax on a disfavored activity.
The study goes on: "Colorado and Washington seem certain to request a federal tax code revision." It's hard to think they will get that – without some kind of federal tax in its place. Any new tax is unlikely to target marketing and advertising so directly.
To be sure, 280E is overbroad in denying deductions for attorney's fees and the like. But it does rough justice.

What is anxiety? Clinicians may define it somewhat differently than most people usually do. "I am anxious to get better" means that someone is eagerly expecting a good thing to happen. In a clinical sense, "I am anxious" means something else: being worried, nervous, or apprehensive. Healthy dose of anxiety is useful. We are hard-wired to be apprehensive and alert in the face of adversities. Without it, our ancestors would not survive in their harsh environment. When you run into a saber-toothed tiger, you better be scared and prepare to fight or flee – or else, you will be eaten. So, only those of our ancestors that had this mechanism in place, survived and gave offspring. Those that did not, died out early enough to be childless. Therefore, we all are blessed (or sometimes cursed) having this fear and anxiety machinery pre-installed.
Now, what happens when there is no saber-toothed tiger around and we still get nervous, fearful and anxious? That can be a problem. Distinguishing normal negative expectations and concerns from clinically significant nervousness and anxiety can be difficult. The issue is not black and white. Is it normal to be concerned about starting a new job, thinking about how you will fit it, whether you will succeed? Is it normal to be upset if your husband is in the hospital? Is it natural to commiserate with your daughter who is going through divorce? Of course it is. The problem then is not being concerned and upset. The problem is the degree to which it affects a person, and whether it is accompanied by other problems.
How do to treat anxiety? The first step is to recognize that this is a problem. Sometimes, many years of chronic worries still do not allow a person to understand that this is not just a character flaw but a treatable condition. In my practice, I have heard it many times that only after someone started treatment, they would look back at years of emotional distress realizing how bad it was, often regretting that they have not started treatment way earlier.
Anxiety can be treated with medications, psychotherapy, alternative modalities such as herbs, meditation, relaxation techniques. In my practice, I would use medications like SSRI's or SNRI's (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors or serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors respectively), such as Zoloft, Paxil, Effexor, Cymbalta, buspirone (Buspar), mirtazapine (Remeron), nefazodone (Serzone), other classes of medications. Tranquilizers like Xanax or Ativan or Klonopin have their place in treating acute severe anxiety on a temporary basis; in my opinion, their long-term use should be generally avoided. I would often recommend my patients self-help books on anxiety management, relaxation tapes, herbal remedies such as Valerian root. Psychotherapy can be an excellent tool for treating anxiety and panic. In the process of therapy a person can gain a better insight into what triggers negative emotions, identify dysfunctional thoughts that produce anxious feelings and correct them, learn how to handle stress that triggers anxiety, and channel it differently. Oftentimes, the combination of biological treatments and psychological interventions leads to the best results, just like in many other (if not most) psychiatric conditions. Physical exercises are excellent means of reducing stress in general and helping anxiety specifically. After all, we are hard-wired to act on our fears, not to brood on them.

Dwayne Johnson Has a Beef with a Castmate, But He's Not Saying Who
"The Rock" posted some shade to his Instagram account, calling out the male Fast 8 cast members.
It would seem like making Dwayne Johnson mad is something that most people would actively avoid. But for someone on the set of Fast 8, it's just another day in the life. Johnson has been involved in the Fast and Furious franchise since the series' fifth installment, and his character is expected to get even more attention in Fast 8, with the series continuing on without star Paul Walker. But judging from The Rock's Instagram page, not everyone is taking the responsibility as seriously as Johnson.
"This is my final week of shooting #FastAndFurious8," the actor and 17 time WWE Champion in one post. "There's no other franchise that gets my blood boiling more than this one (…) My female co-stars are always amazing and I love 'em. My male co-stars however are a different story."
Johnson doesn't go on to name the co-star (or stars) directly, but says that some of his more violent scenes in the film will be showing his true emotions, and finishes with the hashtag #ZeroToleranceForCandyAsses.
This is my final week of shooting #FastAndFurious8. There's no other franchise that gets my blood boiling more than this one. An incredible hard working crew. UNIVERSAL has been great partners as well. My female co-stars are always amazing and I love 'em. My male co-stars however are a different story. Some conduct themselves as stand up men and true professionals, while others don't. The ones that don't are too chicken shit to do anything about it anyway. Candy asses. When you watch this movie next April and it seems like I'm not acting in some of these scenes and my blood is legit boiling – you're right. Bottom line is it'll play great for the movie and fits this Hobbs character that's embedded in my DNA extremely well. The producer in me is happy about this part😉. Final week on FAST 8 and I'll finish strong. #IcemanCometh #F8 #ZeroToleranceForCandyAsses
A video posted by therock (@therock) on Aug 8, 2016 at 11:26am PDT
So while we will all be keeping an eye out for Johnson's scenes in Fast 8 for hints as to which cast member has his blood boiling, it will be intesting to see in the meantime if any cast member steps up and decides that calling Dwayne Johnson out for his shade is a smart thing to do.

Ground Zero Mosque Awaits Decision by Community Board
R.M. Schneiderman
After weeks of contentious debate, Community Board 1 will vote tonight on a plan to bring a 13-story mosque and cultural center to a site near Ground Zero.
While tonight's vote is not binding, it is seen as crucial for maintaining support of the $100 million Cordoba House project. Earlier this month a CB 1 committee unanimously supported the project, which is being spearheaded by the American Society for Muslim Advancement.
Community board officials stressed that they are only weighing the cultural center aspect of the proposal and not the mosque itself. The religious dimension of the proposal has already proven a magnet for inflammatory rhetoric and controversy.
In the final lead up to tonight's community board vote on the proposal, the leader of a Tea Party group blasted Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer over his support of the proposal. Mark Williams, in a blog post, called Stringer a "a Jewish Uncle Tom who would have turned rat on Anne Frank for a price."
Stringer, who had previously likened Williams' rhetoric to that of Hitler, held a press conference on Tuesday in an effort to show his continued support for Cordoba House.
The plan to build the mosque and cultural center near the corner of Park Place and West Broadway has seen its share of critics — from neighbors to 9/11 victims' families. But the biggest obstacle to the group's proposal may be the city's Landmarks Preservation Commission.

Indie Roundup | Four Songs For a Quiet Monday
Ease into the week with Dan Deacon, Sarah Harmer, Saxophones and more.
Dan Deacon gets high, Godthrymm go deep, Saxophones light it up and Sarah Harmer visits the Bay in today's Roundup. Hope your Monday was as quiet as mine.
1 | Dan Deacon | Become A Mountain
THE PRESS RELEASE: "Dan Deacon releases Become A Mountain, a new single/video from Mystic Familiar, his forthcoming album out Jan. 31. Following lead single Sat By A Tree, album opener Become A Mountain is a startlingly vulnerable shift in a songbook abundant with characters, metaphors, and distorted vocals. For the first time ever on record, Deacon presents his natural singing voice, unprocessed and with only minimal, all-acoustic accompaniment. Its animated video was created by Spain-based studio Rapapawn. On the track, Dan said: "During the 4 years over which I composed the songs that became Mystic Familiar, I began going to therapy and started a meditation practice. I felt raw and vulnerable while making this album, and I wanted the music to reflect that. Like many people who've been in a dark mindset for a long time, self-compassion and non-judgmental thinking were a real challenge for me, entirely new habits that needed to be learned basically from scratch. When I would try to embrace having positive thoughts, they didn't feel like my own, but rather another entity's thoughts trying to speak to me. While writing, I began thinking of these thoughts as a Mystic Familiar (my own personal supernatural companion) trying to communicate with me. Externalizing the thoughts made them easier to fully realize and reflect upon. The lyrics in Become A Mountain lay out the framework for the album's overall concept: a Narrator and their Mystic Familiar. Our Narrator, in the opening verse and choruses, is trying to learn how to be self-compassionate, to live a life in the present while being able to deal with self-doubt and anxiety in a lifetime of great flux and foundational transformations. Meanwhile, our Mystic Familiar, in verse two and the pre-choruses, tries to help guide the transformations of our narrator through mantras coaxing me to be present in the now, even while also being an element of chaos itself."
2 | Godthrymm | The Sea As My Grave
THE PRESS RELEASE: "UK doom metal trio Godthrymm – featuring vocalist/guitarist Hamish Glencross (ex-My Dying Bride, Vallenfyre, Solstice), drummer Shaun Taylor-Steels (ex-My Dying Bride, Anathema), and bassist Bob Crolla – are pleased to unveil the official new video for The Sea As My Grave. The forlorn hymn comes off the band's forthcoming debut, Reflections, set for release Feb. 14. The black and white clip features live footage from a Godthrymm performance in Belgium last summer and was pieced together by Carl Assault. Further elaborates Glencross of the track, "Crushing waves of titanic riffs and pounding drums, punctuated with ghostly leads and mournful vocals… lyrically, The Sea As My Grave paints a picture of a broken, tired human giving up their earthly remains to the sea for an eternal rest in the vastness of the oceans. Musically, we believe this song perfectly defines us stylistically as a band and represents us perfectly as musicians."
3 | The Saxophones | Lamplighter
THE PRESS RELEASE: "The Saxophones — the Bay Area based duo of Alexi Erenkov (vocals, guitar, synthesizer, woodwinds) and Alison Alderdice (drums, vocals) — have shared the second single from their forthcoming sophomore album Eternity Bay, out March 6. Lamplighter is warm surf-pop that draws from '50s exotica, west coast jazz, and '70s Italian lyricism. Erenkov wrote Lamplighter after playing a show at the Sou'wester trailer resort in Washington state, and at the Lamplighter, where he spent the rest of the evening drinking Fireballs. He says Lamplighter is about his attempts to escape anxiety through alcohol and other vices; "While indulging, I often convince myself that I'm on some kind of path to enlightenment, that I'll find an escape from impermanence and be able to touch the eternal, but all of my hedonistic impulses lead me back to the same reality. And I'm left to face the fact that even the truest love is impermanent. The song takes its name from a bar on the misty Washington coast where I spent an evening drinking with close friends after a show. The night and the following day's walk on the beach were both enjoyable, but I was particularly struck by how much my conversations, thoughts, and actions were avoidant of the present. Whether through alcohol or simply distracting myself with thoughts of the future, I find ways to fight reality."
4 | Sarah Harmer | St. Peter's Bay
THE PRESS RELEASE: "St. Peter's Bay, the second song from award-winning singer-songwriter and environmentalist Sarah Harmer's new album, Are You Gone (due Feb. 21), is out today. A haunting juxtaposition of the swell of emotions at the end of a relationship against the drama and hardness of winter, St. Peter's Bay (the album opener) introduces Sarah's first full body of work in 10 years. A cinematic love-letter to wilderness and the depth of human feeling – with a surprising backstory – Sarah said: "I wrote St. Peter's Bay on the plane to Prince Edward Island for a Hockey Day In Canada theatre show, but the hockey part is only a prompt. The song is about the end of a relationship, set against the frozen shoreline of Lake Ontario. I thought what better way to start the record than with black and white pioneer era sound, and a tale of love burning down to its final ember."

Q: System.PlatformNotSupportException: The Websocket protocol is not supported on this platform So after some researching, it looks like the Discord.Websocket uses libraries that aren't compatible with Windows 7. However, I wasn't able to find a proper work-around to this problem.

A: This is a known issue. .NET Core 1.1 does not support WebSockets on Win7 and earlier. It's recommended to use the Discord.Net.Providers.WS4Net package until this is resolved
You can switch to using Ws4Net by configuring this in your DiscordSocketConfig
client = new DiscordSocketClient(
            new DiscordSocketConfig()
            {
                LogLevel = LogSeverity.Verbose,
                WebSocketProvider = anywebsocketprovider
            }
